The Yazoo City Whig and political register. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1843-10-06

EGG. 70 the citizens Of this place. was the
most disagreeable day that we have for a long
while experienced. Il commenced raining
early in the morning and continued TO pour
down almost necessarily until the close Of
the speeches in the evening. Under these
OF course there was not a
large auditory. Those, howevers wfo de-
fed The inolemency OF the weather and bra
wing rain and mud, attended the ''sPeechih. |
cation" at the phoenix House were more
than repaid for the inconvenience TO which |
they were put. Mr.. Miles first effort inl
Yazoo City, was, indeed. happy one, and
augurs wen for the success of our party here,
as we'll as in all other sections of the county,
Mr.. Miles commenced his address in the
usual way, by referring to his having been
nominated as a candidate for the next Le-
gisIature. He deemed it unnecessary to en-
large on Federal politics, as he considered
them but litsle connected with the duties
devoIving on thoes who acted in Slate lie,
gislatures. lie spoke Of such policy as he was
in favor Of in regard TO few special mea-
sures. He was in favor Of Tarif-such a
Tariff as would provide for all the expenses
of the Government, provided our Govern
ment be administered economically. He
was in favor Of a'National Bank, as the emily
means Of insuring to the country a sound
circulating medium. He was in favor Of the
distribution OF the Public Lands among the
the several States, &C., &c. lie then pro.
ceeded 10 speak Of his favorite candidate for
the next Presidency. Here Mr.. M. became
highly animated-held forth in glowing lam
guage the brilliant services, the unceasing
lAbOrs, the firm patriotism, and the unlring
zeal Of him whe hath stood by his country
in all trials, at all hours, and in all emergen-
cies-ihe modest statesman of the age, Of
this or any other oountry-HENRY CLAY!
At the name of Henry Clay burst Of APP
plause came iorth--not sufficient to rend the
air, nor 10 make the walls Of the old building
quake again, nor even to knock the plastering
oG-bui loud and hearty enough 20 cause the
hearts Of our Democratic friends to tremble
for The success Ofthsir cause in this county
The speaker now passed on 10 a review
OF some Of the most important political ques-
lions which are now agitating the State of
Mississippi. Reputation was the first Of
which he spoke he descanisd upon almost
every thing allied with it from the moment
Of it's birth to its present stage Of existence.
He traced the Union Bank, her bonds, the
Oe.iss.s ard- s.llissaetS We've Of sebsorsy
and all connected with that institution from
the time Of its formation to the present day
in language so lucid and comprehensive that
it was impossible for any one present not to
understand the motives by which the leaders
Of the Repudiating party Of this Stale are ac-
tuated. lie explained all liz relation to re-
pudiation, and placed it before his hearers a
thing despised, loathed, and hideous in de-
formity. We would not on any account wish
TO everiask Mr.. Miles but we would if we
could, place in his hands whip ''io lash the
rascal Reputation naked round the world
Mr.. NJ. went on to the discussion ofoiher
Political questions, such as Dstricling the
State, the Land Tax, Briscoe's Bill, &c.-
His plan Of forming this district Of the vari-
Gus counties he named, must, we think,
meet the appreciation Of every one. Briscoe's
Bill he tore Ill to shreds and tatters. No man
in the State, we imagine, is more inveter.
ately opposed 10 this bill than Mr.. Miles,
All these subjects were commented upon
ably and honestly, and should Mr.. M be
! CHOSEN by the peoPlOof the county to repre-.
sentthem (of which we have no doubt,l he
will be found standing in the legislative
halls an honest, firm and energetic Wing.
Our candidate having retired from the
stand amid the rapturous applause Of his
small auditory, our old and well remembered
friend, WINSTON BANKS, Esq. took his sta.
lion for the purpose Of making a few re.
marks in behalf Of his party, as neither Of
} the Democratic candidates were present. He
rose for the purpose Of replying to portion
Of Mr.. Miles, address; bat what that portion
was we could not find out to save US. How.
ever, the following, which we believe is the
substance of the gentleman's brief and pithy
+ address will, perhaps, enable those Of Oul
readers, who were not present, to define il
+ some measure what his argument tended to-

After this immaculate effort Of our friend
