MIR EDITOR 4:

MIR EDITOR:
Ia the Guard of Oct 18th. I find letter
dated Ripley. Oct l5tb." which contains
false and libelIous statements. so similar to
those contained in letters written from the
same place to the "Mississippian," that it
most certainly emanates from the same
source. The writer PROCESSES 70 have heard
Messrs Howard and Thompson address the
people a. Ripley and Jscinto. and charges
that Col Howard said in Jacinto that. be
did not expect whig support" and accused
them as a party for being insincere in want
ing the bonds paid"
The object of such statements by repu-
diator are too palpable to mislead any whig
They hope by falsehood and misrepresenta-
lion to prevent the wings fom supporting
the Bond paying Democratic candidates
for Congress
The above quoted passages are absolutely
false Col Howard said there, as be has
said everywhere, that he was democrat
that he concurred with the democratic par
ty on the great questions of the tarih,-a
National Bank, &c. sc. and that if the
wings voted for him they did it with full
knowledge of his principles. He adverted
briefly. in strong and decided terms TO the
principles of that party. but did not denounce
the wings, or accuse them Of insincerity on
the bond question.
The writer is equally at fault, IN his rep
resentation of the prospect oftne repudia-
tors in Tishampgo county. so decided
and overwhelming is the majority ofthe
bond d-payers there that the repudIaIors nave
but one candidate in the fed for the legisla-
ture. and only hope 20 elect him by divis-
ions amongst the bond payers. Nowhere
are the prospects brighter for the bond pay
ers than in Tis hamipeo Wherever Col.
Howard has spoken in the North-eastein
part of the State, he has made deep and
| favorable impression He has literally fiay-
ed Jake wherever he has met him.

er, Roberts and Hammet may all go by The
board; but "me Jake Thompson. who
have known so many of you long OF.
don't don't repudiate me- Haven't stood
up to you"
The wings throughout his part of the
State are determined to support Howard
Kendall. Dunbar and Gilmer for Congress-
Not because they oppose their principles on
National questions; but as means of Civ
ing a deadly blow to reputation, and of
breaking up that corrupt faction of the dem
ocratic party. that is endeavoring to govern
this State by bargain and intrigue The
wings have one decided advantage to gain,
too. by eiecling the bond paying ticket for
Congress. They pledge themselves if cleo
ted and admitted to their seats, 10 vote for
that candidate who receives the electoral
vote of the State for President, in the event
the election comes before the House of Rep
resentatives. But Jake says he would, in
that event resign, or in other words, would
desert his post on the eve OF battle and there
by defeat the will ola majority of his con-
sIitueE:s.
