: We scarcely open one of our Loco Foco ex
change papers without discovering some re
! cent rupture in this trained band. Their col
$ umns are constantly teeming with the mos
! unquall6 ed and violent denunciations of eacl
other. The last number of the 'Mississippian
contained long article, in which the edito
f cxerted all the ingenuity be possesses'to prove
that, although there is no obligation upon The
State to pay the Planters bank bonds, the,
still ought to be paid. Having arrived at this
conclusion. AMI thus squeezed himself between
the two divisions of his party, he doubtless fe.
lictated himself upon his successful ingenuity,
But unfortunately for the permanence of his
equanlmity the editors course had to pass
through uuch more severe ordeal than his
own self approving judgment, an ordeal which
the members generally of his party, however
callous TO honorable shame, seem to fear more
than he Spanish Inquisition. The Sentinel
which assumes appellate jurisdiction over all
these cases of political shutting and tergiver-
sation which occur In his party, took up the,
case Of the editor OF the Mississppan" and
thus passes judgment upon it.
We have long since forgiven, though
we have not forgotten the shabby trick
played on US by Gen. Price in 1841.
Then he was the first to bring out DR..
D. 0. Williams, Of Kinds, an early,
honest and true antibonder, for the Of
fee of Secretary Of State, and in few
months after the Doctor had entered
on the canvass, the General turned
round and abandoned him, and run up
the name ola bond payer. He never
could give any reason for this incon-
sistency, and we must say treachery !; !
and how be can secure his own selEre-
spect when he thinks Of it. we are at |
loss to conceive. He may have thought
the act particularly clever, according to
his peculiar notions of propriety and
fair dealing but he could not induce
the people Of This State to think so, and
he was just smart enough to secure
his bond-paying friend defeat.
He may take the trick this time, but
he will find that after the election he
will be as far from winning the game
as he was in 1S41. We shall most
assuredly respond to the feelings ex.
pressed by Howe, and manifested so
decidedly by the late Convention, when
the Planters Bank bonds paying res
olutions offered by Mr.. Moore, Of
Lowndes, were hooted and Kissed out
ofthe convention. To carry out these
principles, the principles of Jefferson
and Taylor, the people will most as
suredly have a full bloodel anti-bond q
ticket, and the General will find him q
self and his friend after the election, as q
much disappointed in his hopes and \
aspirations as they were in 184I. E
The Gen'l will find in the end that he Il
could succeed better by playing the $
game honestly with an open hand, IN
stead of hiding away cards, and at
empting to take tricks by 6nessing. It !,
Won't do. General, and you will find it q
,ut after you have lost the respect OF
