GEN. A. B. BRADFORD.

1t will be seen from the letter below, that
Gen. Bradford has declined permitting his
name TO be Iun for Congress, in violation oi
The resolution adopted by the late Wing
State Convention We cannot commend
too highly the patriotic and selfsacrifcing
course of this gentleman. whose time and
talents have ever been devoted 10 the good
of the cause. and the triumph of our prin-
ciples. Gen. Bradford is our first choice
for Congress, and had the Convention
thought proper to run candidates. it would
have afforded US pleasure to have hoisfed
his name. But we have heretofore entirely
concurred in the policy of the resolution OF
the Convention. and still emphatically de-
clare that the wings should not bring for
ward ticke: in this election The bond
question is the all absorbing issue now. and
between the two sets of candidates IN the
democratic ticket we cannot hesitate n
choosing the bond payers. We hope the
whig papers which have hoisted a whig tick
ct, will haul it down. and show to our oppo-
nents the sincerity OF our profession, 'that
we are law abiding people"

THE GUARD AND THE BOND
QUESTION
HOLLY SPRINGS. Aug. 25, l843.

The Guard is out in long article en-
deavoting to do away with the effect of the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case
of Campbell va Uni n Bank Ii says the
wings "are gnilty of Misrepresentation in
asserting. as they have r.quently done. that
the question of the constiluiionalitv of the
Union Bank Bonds has teen adjndicated
and settled by the Supreme Court of the
State" Again: at is SANDER upon the
Hon. Bench. and gross attempt TO deceive
and impose upon the people. |, is hum.
bug worthy only OF the Wing party. and
that same old coon of lS4O" Now, we
will not be so impolite as to accuse the
Guard of Misrepresentation in denying that
the principles involved in the consttutionali-
~ of the bonds have been settled by the
Supreme Court, but we will proceed to p,ore
his guilt. and leave him torthe decision of an
intelligent community.
1t will be remembered that the only
strong position taken by Gen. Brown. and
indeed by the repudlalors in this part of the
State. is that the supplement was unconstuu-
tional. because it altered the material fea-
tur.s of the original bill. and was not passed
by tw, legislatures. Il is contended by tie
bond payers. that III. Legislature had the
right to make such alteration. so that it did
not change that portion Of the bill which the
constitution required 10 be left to the people
al the ballot box. For instance. the people
bad given their consent to pledge the faith Of
the Stale for sl5.000.O00 for the purpose OF
banking. Now. If the Legislature had pIt Dig.
ed the faith of the State for go. 600. 900. il
would have been violation of the consti,u-
sion. Al least for the additional e5, 600, 900.

THE COURSE OF THE LOCO
EOCOS


Moderate men of all parties view with
regret the deterioration Of morals and popu
lar integrity, so manifest in the political
movements OF the day. To which party
this influence is mainly attributable. may be
perhaps. a matter of dispute between per-
sons of both political parties. 1t is proba-
bic that it may be traced in great degree
to the prevalence of party spirit which of
ers the demagogue SO many inducements to
promote his self aggrandisement. by pam
dering to the passions Of The multitude BE
the cause what it may, ace think we see IN
the ranks Of the repudiators. the very quin-
tessence of low. vulgar and degrading dem
aeogueism, which we search for in vain a
mong the public men OF our party. Wheth-
er :hc beam is in our own eye il is for 9TH
ers to discover if we were conscious oft.
we would erdeavor to cast it out; but 1t
shall now be our duty to point out The mote
in the eye of our opponents.
We are informed. that Gen. Brown has
abandoned his previous course of argument.
the discussion of the constitutionality of the
bond question. and now appeals alone TO the
passions and pockets oflhe people. denying
that any portion ofthe debt can be paid
from any other source. He rings the chan
ges again and again. upon taxation taxa
tioI I taxation III He tells the old wo-
men that Mr.. Clayton is an old coon try
ing to rob their hen roosts to pay foreign
fundmongers.' We are not surprised that
Mr. Brown should resort to some other
mode of argument. after discovering his to-
tai inability to sustain an argument upon the
bond question with his opponent. and we
are the less surprised at his course, as we
believe him to be hunter ofplace. without
any fixed principles Of belief His pas:
history shows this In 1884. he made
speech against the removal of the depositcs.
and in favor ola United States Bank. TO the
citizens Of Copiah county. which may ac.

high consideration and regard. But per-
ceive of late that my silence to the repeated
notices of my name. although never having
been called out as 10 my wishes and lnien-
ions. has been construed both by my polni-
cal friends and opponents. into desire and
icit consen; on my part TO be run as can
lidate on the whig ticket at the approach
ing election for Congress To relieve N.Y.
self from this dilemma. and disabuse the pub
lie mind on this subject, it behoovts me now
frankly to declare to the wings generally. and
to my friends who have taken such a lively
interest in my behalf. that have never desl-
red TO be candidate for Congress under any
circumstances but even if | had, since the
Whig State Convention in June last, have
considered it settled, that unless the State
was laid off into districts. agreeably tc the
late act of Congress. there. was to be no
whig ticket run. The Convention is not
only explicit on this subject. but uses this
emphatic language: 1T would be an inva-
sion of one of the cherished principles of the
whig party obedience and acquiescence In
the law as it is" Whilst [ cheerfuly sub

we'd at different conc usion. without inva-
ding IN the slightest degree any one principle

the whigs who believe that candidates should
have been selected to run on the whig tick
ct, not because they would have been consti-
tutionally or legally entitled to their seats If

the effect which may and will be produced
on the public mind by the democratic candi-
dates unfavorable to our principles. If their az
guments are not met and refuted and. in the
