Pnmary MeetingS of The People.

Alter making call on the Wings Of the
different wards in the city of New York to
give full ottsndanes,ata meeting that took
place on the evening Of the 18th ult., the
Courier and Enquirer has the annexed able
comments. We copy them because their
does exist at the present time "Iuke,Oarus-
ness on the part. OF the Wings Of Yazoo
county in holding these all.impor,ant pri-
mary meetings.
"The assembling Of the peoplen their2ri.
mary meetings, is alwaysA matter Of great
importance. ss on these occasions is given
for good or evil, the impulse of the entire
campaign. If these meetings are well at
tended, and care taken that their action is in
strict conformity with the will of majority
Of the party Represented; if on these occa.
sions all cIiques are discountenanced, all
packing in favor of particular candidates
put down, and all doubtful and erpediency
men carefully excluded from nomination
all goes we'll and the party moves on1n har-
mony and with mistaken confidence, to tri-
umph and victory. But on the contrary,
when the people neglect these primary
assemhIages, and suffer designing, selfish
and time-serving politicians. not only to
control their action but appoint unsafe and
pledged men to represent them in the coan,y
convention, blow is given TO the spirit OF
the great mass of the party which produces
llukewarmuess and hearlburnings, inevitably
leading 70 defeat and dishonor.
Welhefefore most earnestly call upon the
members Of the Wing party who contend
for the triumph Of their principles in order
l'to secure 70 the. country more prosperous

Parson NIiIlerls Day,

effect whatever. Nota soul came near us.
Last Sunday, Parson Millef's day, and
which, according to his prophecy, should
have been the Last Day, was the most beau
tiful day Of the season. Our citizens, for
the most part, appeared cheerful, gay, and
unccneerned, and we imagine but very few
thought either Of Miller or his prophecy
