CLAYTON AND BROWN AT CANTON

We visited Canton on last Thursday
for the purpose of hearing the discussion
between Messrs Clayton and Brown
There we're about 800 or $50 voters pre-
sent in the court house, and all appeared
to feel an intense interest in hearing the
great questions at issue discussed by
these two candidates for gubernatorlal
honors. Gen. Brown opened the dis
cusson, and spoke about two hours on
national questions, the tariff, and the dis
tributlon of the proceeds OF the sales OF
the public lands. In conclusion, he
touched casually on the bond question,
and attempted, in very unsatisfactory
manner, to explain his votes on the I'm
ion Bank charter. He is ingenious in d e.
bate; but his ingenuity consists in mis-
representing facts and drawing deduc-
tons from false premises. His whole
speech was miserable failure, as he
knew, as the audience generally knew,
and as his political frields felt, if we are
10 Judge from their countenances and
their untimely beating of benches when
the speaker made the most silly remarks.
The General ought to give his political
friends the cue when he wishes them to
applaud, or laugh at his funny sayings
He knew Mr.. Clayton would use him up,
and he endeavored to ward off the blows
by telling the people what Mr.. G. would
say. But he and his friends were much
deceived. Gen. Browns efforts we con
slider, were decidedly more puerile than
those he made in Jackson at the opening
of the canvass. He seemed to have been
so bailey "cornered" by Mr.. Clayton
since the opening of the canvass, that he
had lost all confidence in himself, and
made his speech mechanically, with the
full knowledge that he would receive an
'argumentative drubbing at the hands of
his able competitor.
Mr. Clayton arose 10 address his (el-
ow citizens amid the most enthus iastic
plaudits. He opened his speech in re-
ply to Gen. B. in a calm and dignifed
manner, and kept his hearers unclaimed
for about two hours with his forcibe and
convincing reasoning, his well-tlmed IL
Illustrations and patriotic appeals TO the
higher and nobler feelings of the human
breast. We consider Mr.. Clayton not
only an able, but a powerful reasoner;
but his style of speaking is well calcula-
ted to rivet attention and convince the
understanding. Every candid man will
admit that at Canton Mr.. c. gained a
complete triumph over his compe.tor.-
In reply to the remarks Of Gca. Brown
on the tariff and distribution, Mr.. Clay
ton displayed his thorough knowledge of
the subjects. We have seldom heard as

Some who were there, and who have

After Mr.. Clayton had concluded hls

and was almost furious. This was a
good indication that he felt himself over

doctrines which are dsgrace(nl to him

people for their sympathy. He SAID he

had to contend single handed against then
all. This he knew at the time 10 be

and will follow him up until the day o
the election; and he requires no aid in de
molishing Brown whenever and whereS
err they speak. Gen. Brown stated tha
the bona paying press throughout tn
State had abused him personally. As ia
as we are concerned the charge is false
and Brown knows it. We have assslle,
no man personally, nor will we. W.

MEsSRs. CLAYTON AND WILLIAMS

The two Bond paying Candidates for
Governor have been AMI are doing ser
vice in the cause of honesty and faith
Throughout the whole northern and north
eastern section OF the State. They have
travelled from county to county with an
industry and zeal worthy the glorious
cause in which they are engaged. They
have talked with and 10 the people; they
have addressed them in terms which they
cannot disregard. They have told them
in plain and convincing terms, of the Ia
tuity of anti-bondsm, of the utter imposl-
blily Of any people or nation prospecting
with such load of infamy and disgrace
upon them, as their support Of this heresy
has entaled upon the misguided people
of Mississippi, They have combatted the
arguments OF the Regulators, eloquent
and truthfu.ly They have used no
means in their address to the people,
which were not respectful, and best cal
cuated 10 convince their Judgment
Appeals to the reason of the people have
been made, without any efforts to work
upon their prejudices. This style of can
wasting can but be effective. 1t will prove
triumphant, at any time, when opposed
to the demagoguerial cries of ",axatIon,"
and other like appeals insulting to the
people, and worthy only Of the corrupt
source whence it emanates.
And the personal character Of these two
men, has added greatly to the efficiency
Of their praise worthy efforts in the cause
of State faith and honor. When Mr.
Clayton was nominated, he was but little
known comparatively, to the people of
the State; but his recommendation to the
convention, by citizens of North Missis,
sippi, by his neghbors and personal
friends, was sufficient to place him high
in the estimation of the Wings of the
State, at once. An honest man; oneI
punctilious on points Of public faith, a.
man of good strong sense, was what they
desired, and they were assured that in
George r. Clayton, they had such man.
Nothing more was asked, he was immedi-
ately received into the bosom of the whigl
party OF the State, as its champion IN the
present important contest; and the unan-
unity and cordially with which he was
received, reflects infinitely great credit
upon the Wings Of the State, credit which
in previous contests they have not deser-
ted. Not murmur have we heard, from
any part of the State, at his nomination,
None have complained even because thel
nominee was not a man generally known;
but being told the character Of the man,
