tice.
We last week commenced a reply to
some articles signed Madison, which APP
pcared in the Mississippi Creole of the
dates of September 3Oth, October 18th and
2lst. In an editorial some time since we
expressed doubt as to whether the wings,
or many Of those who have hitherto been
most prominent in this contest, had not a
far greater regard Tor the success of wing
national political politics, than for the pay
nent of the Mississippi Union Bank bonds.
And now after the most serious considera-
sion we could give the matter, we have
seen nothing to change our opinion. We
wish to do injury TO no one personally or
politically, We wish to mi'represent the
motives of no party, BIN we have long
looked onthc noise made by our more as
tute friends Of the wing party about the
bonds, as mere. stratagem to divide the
democrats and promote the success otprin.-
ciples having little connection with State
policy. They have certainly not been
slow or backward in assembling corrupt mo-
tives to the democratic party, or those OF
them Madison would call "prominent de-
mocrats," yet this writer seems to regard
the slightest distrust of wing motives as lit
tie less than sacrilege. One fact which
has induced us to retain our opinion is
this: that the bond paying democrats have
Of late in the eyes of the wings become
exceedingly clever men, they are now all
that is honest, magnanimous and good; yet
before this bond question arose, the wing
press was unceasing in its denunciations
of these very men. While ever the old
party lines continued, and they were ex-
pected to contribute nothing towards the
euccess of the wing party, they found no
favor with the wing press, and there was
no sparing use of those epithcts which are
now so freely ne!ed out TO the anti-bond-
men. Now all the former political sins Of
these men, the nd-payers, are forgotten
and they arc thought worthy Of the high.
est praise and commentator
We are well aware how far political par.
tizanship may go, and We should not be &c.
cused of being Liberal, when we say, that
our whig brethren in their selection of can
ddates al their last convention, acted far
more with view to the success OF thelT
national polilics, than the advancement Of
any scheme Of State policy, whether il
ostensbly affected the honor of the State,
or the permanent welfare Of the individual
citizen. Il was proposed by prominent
wing, "whose name is its own eulogy," TO
select candidates, or at least a candidate
for Governor. from the ranks Of the demo.
cratic bond-payers; which was intended 10
concentrate the votes of the wings aud
bond.Paying democrats. This i is bellev-
ed would have rendered certain the sue
cess OF tue bond.payipg ticket, at least
iistriumph would have been far more pro-
babe than under present circumstances.
As a matter Of course they bad a right TO
nominate wings for their candidates, but
