MORE DISTURBANCES AMONG THE
LOCO FOCo BRETHREN.
We scarcely open one Of our loco POGO ex.
change papers without discovering some re.
cent rupture 10 this trained band. Their col.
umns are constantly tecming with the most
unqualif ed and violent denunciatons Of each
other. The last number Of the 'Mississippian'
contained a long article, in which the editor
exerted ell The ingenuity be possssses.to prove
that, although there Is no obligation upon the
State to pay the Planters bank bonds, they
still ought to be paid. Having arrived at this
conclusion. AMI thus squeezed himself between
the two divisions Of bis party, he doubtless f.
licitaled himself upon his successful ingenuity.
Bat unfor'u nately for the Permanenee Of bis
eQuanimity the editors course had to pass
through much more severe ordeal than bis
own self approving judgment, an ordeal which
the members generally Of his party, however
clllous TO honorable shame, seem to fear more
than I he Spanish Inquisition. The Sentinel,
which assumes appellate jurisdiction over all
,hese cases Of political shifting and tergiver-
sstiOn which occur in his party, took up tho
case Of the editor OF the Mississippan" and
thus passes judgment upon il.
We have longsince forgiven, though
we have not forgotten the shabby trick
played on us by Gen. Price in 1s41.
Then he was the first to bring out DIR.
D. o. Williams, Of Kinds, an early,
honest and true antibonder, for the Of.
fee Of Secretary Of State, and in a 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 i0con-
sistency, and we must say treachery +;
and how he can secure his own self-re-
spect when he thinks Of il, we are at a
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 10 think so, and
he was Just smart enough to secure
his bond-paying friend a defeat
He may take the trick this time, bot
he will Gnd 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, oil
Lowndes, were hooted and Kissed out
ofthe convention. To carry out these
principles, the principles Of Jefferson
and Taylor, The people will most as.
suredIy have full blooded anli-bond
ticket, and the General will find him
self and his friend after the election, as
much disappointed in his hopes and
aspirations as thew were in 1871.
The Gen'l will end in the end that he
could succeed better by playing the
game honestly with an open hand, in
stead Of hiding away cards, and at
to toke tricks BY 6nessing. It
won't do, General, and you will find it |
out after you have lost the respect Of
yourself and the bond and anti-bond |
party, both wing and democrat. Many |
Of the democrats last session voted for
you as printer reluctantly, and they |
refused to vote for you IS Clerk ofthe
House, for no other reason,we believe,
than your ireachery. With the dou-
Bile treason stamped on you, you will
find it difficult 10 rally the honest,
straightforward democracy TO vote for
you next winter. We will lot up
braid you've pity you, aud are sorry
that you have placed yourself in a po-
sition which viii afford such sport TO
your enemies. We will leave you,
General, for the present, to the bitter
reproaches Of your own conscience,
and the consolation you may derive
from the kind voice or DR.. G win.
In these times, when the different members
ofhis party, are shelving their hands, how does
il happen that our neiehbor Of the democrat
manages to keep himself like terraPin, so
snugly shut up in his impenetrable shell. He
has hoisted the-names Of the nominees Of the
convention, and is a jealous advocate
for their election, although from the fate Of
Arch Moore'sresolutions in regard 10 the Plan
ters' Bank bonds, and the course Of the "Sen-
inel" and the aSignal," there can be no doubt
what are the opinions Of these candidates on
hat subject Yet the Editor Of the aDemo-
,rat" declares hlmself in favor ofthe payment
of these bonds. We dare him to advocate
such a sentiment blended with the support Of
Of the jackson convention D5ctor
Hagan viii shew him the inconsistency Of his
position and tear the veil from those, who wish
% derive advantage from their silence on this
iubject.
