A new source OF poil'lcal capital has
lately been discovered, by portion of the
press in our stale, and this is one which
coalI only have been discovered by the
profound sagacity of statesman, and the
immaculate respectful ty Of call the de-
cency." This is nothing more nor less
than prying examination into the private
fortunes OF individuals, and then publish
ing to the world what amount it Is their
bad fortune to owe. This, we believe, is
a refined species of political tactics un.
known to fines of old it was reserved for
the rapid march Of modern improvement,
to have struck out this new light, and to
have indicated to the world the triumph
of principle, over the mean resort TO sour
Iility and abusive personalities.
Certain democrats who are styled repu-
dia,ors, have been imprudent, wicked or
unfortunate enough, to have borrowed mo-
ney from the Union Bank, and this every
day act, common TO most all the people Of
Mississippi, is heraIded forth to the world
as a crime. 1t is tue, they say in excuse,
that these debtors of The Union Bank, will
essen their own debts ty the non pay
ment of the bonds, They may rail as
much against Reputation as they please,
and we shall not complain, hut their inten-
ton is to injure the cause Of democracy,
and that we do not wish Right or wrong,
legal or illegal, it is the shalIowcst Of all
humbugs 10 pretend that the reputation
Of the Union Bank bon is will diminish the
liability of the debpors of the bank. The
circulation of the bank has first TO be ab-
sorbed, before lis assets can be applied TO
any other liability; and the assignees of
The bank have already said that the bank
could never more than take in its circula.
tion. Bat even if the assets could 60 be-
yond that, il could be of no enetit to the
debtors of the bunk, for its circulation hav.
ing disappeared, they woull be compelled
to pay the amounts due, in gold and silver.
Yet this belief is attempted TO be imp ,sed
upon the public that Gen. Brown, and the
other debtors of the Union bank, are at.
to repudiate their individual
deb,s. This is The shallowest of all hum
bugs yet invented, and we are sorry TO see
our friend of the Statesman, instead of dis.
cpssing principles, engaged in this small
business politics. We know not how 9th.
ers may feel about it, but sooner than have
been found in this employ, we would have
published Gen BIS cartaract speech"
But more than this; this scullion work has
not been confined To- those who are candi.

zen honored with Il supervision and publ
,aiion of their debts. This, we repeat, is

Tennessee has thus proclaimed herself
IA Wing S.ate--a National Bank State-a
Tariff State--a Clay State.-NashriHe
Banner.
And such would be tho proclamation in
this State, if the election should terminate
in favor of the wings. In Tennessee, a
variety of local questions were brought be-
fore the public eye, and held up as the i'm
portant issues which should govern the
voters; such as, the course of the demo-.
cratic party on tie State banks, Gov.

bonds into Sterling bonds, and more than
all, the discrganizing conduct of The thir.

The two greatest instances Of faulty

FORGERY EXPOSED.


A letter has been going the rounds o.
the wing papers, purportlng to have been
written by Mr.. Jefferson in 1923, eulogi
zing the protective system and Mr.. Clay
We have not the letter by US al present, oil
we would publish it. 1t is forgery per
petra,ed by one Southworlh at the time
editor of the Rhode Island Literary Sub
baltern, and was exposed at the time of It's
first appearance. The following from the
Baltimore Patriot, wing paper, IS con-
elusive as to the forgery. We however
differ from that paper as 10 Mr.. Jeaerson's
opinions in regard to Mr.. Clay.
We were surprised to see in the Rich
mond Wing and other papers, letter pur-
porting to have been written by Mr.. Jeffer-
son in 1923, in relation TO the tariff and
Mr. Clay. We have reason to believe
that the letter expresses the sentiments
held by Mr.. Jefferson at the time i! pur-
ports TO have been written, SIt the letter
irseIfis forgery. 1t was published first
about the year 1880, and was traced 10 an
editor of a paper in Rhode Island. Mr..
Clay was greatly indignant at the forgery
and refused ever after to hold any inter-
course with the author of if--who after
wards became a warm Van Burenite, and
is now, very naturally, Tylerite. The
Richmond Enquirer says he was the author
of the letter that first appeared in loco
foco paper in this city, in which General
Harrison was sneered at as living in log
cabin. drinking hard cider. The result Of
that sneer is known. Since the treachery
of MIR. Tyler, this parsonage has, as we
say, become very naturally, a Tylerite,
and Mr.. Tyler, very Enthusiastically, has
appointed him to some office in the New
York custom house.

The correspondents of the wing papers,
from the northern part of the state, furnish
continual assurances Of the fact that Gen.
Brown, the democratic candidate for gov.
crnor, is completely used up, annihlla,ed,
and demolished, whenever he comes in
coEtic. with Mr.. CLIFTON. This i, very
probably correct, as it is the same trium.
phan; course achieved by every wing cam
dilate for governor for the last seven
years-during the canvass; but somehow
when just on the eve of victory, by some
unfortunate oversight, he find, hinf'elf
chechma,cd, and the election lost The
wing candidates for governor had better
change their course little; perhaps il
they would not exterminptc their opponent
so efiectuallyy they would n OF get so many
votes. The people certainly take corn
passion on tho excoriatcd democrat, and
vote for him on account of the barbarous
treatment he has received during the can
vass. From the many and outrageous
cas,igntions Gen. Brown is doomed to re-.
ceive, he will no doubt soon become I'm.
conscious of his own identity-in other
words she wont know HIMSELF" until he
suddenly finds he is governor OF the state.
