REGULATING CONVENTION.
| 1t will be seen from the account. which e
extract from the Creole, - that the Great
Democracy were enable to harmonic in their
| late Convention, on the subject of their nomna
tons. The Regulators, who constituted large
majority of that body. were incxorable on the
subject oftheir favorite doctrin. and would agree
to no terms of compromise, By which any one.
who was not fully embued with their principles
should receive a nomination. The Bond>paying
Democrats withdrew from the Convention, and
we learn form private source made nomlna-
ton of their own. After being relieved of this
portion of the Democratic party. which operated
only as check upon their proceedings in car
rying their dishonorable principles into practice
in their selection ofcandidates tor Congress and
TO fiji the different off ces in the State Govern
ment, they proceeded to make choice of per-
of the right stripe in regard to the glorious
doctrine Of Reputation, by which names will be
rendered illustrious in history, that otherwise
would never have been sounded out of their
Counties.
The Honorable A. G. Brown, and His Excel
lency Tilghman NJ. Tucker, were the two pro-
mincnt competitors for the Gubernatorial NOM
inAtion. Albert Galatin obtained the honor OF
being selected as the Repudiating candidate for
Governor, and "old CONSTITUTIONAL" was appeas-
ed BIZ nomination for Congress. Tho former
oorc: cation for Secretary of State was allowed
70 p.n, ms, ;,thin the d;;:stance pole. and Mr..
Hemingway of carrs.,l. was brought out ahead.
William Clark, the successor of the immortal
Graves, was selected for Treasure. ana parsen
J. z. Matthews for AudilOr. The Congre@ ~'ona'

T. VI. Tucker, and r. w. Roberts.
After oil these matters wcrc arranged, Gen.
Albert Gallatin Brown, was called upon for
speech. In the course of his address, although
he had just been nominated TO u State office by
a party banded together solely upon question
of State policy and who had refused TO enter in-
to any nomination except in express reference
to this question, he very gravely stated, that in
his canvass he would confine himself solely TO
the discussion of Federal politics, and uould
not allow himself to be dragged into questions
relating to the policy of the Staten!
We arc not surprised at the Regulators at
tempting to pursue such course, for we had |
predicted it some time ago. but what terms shall
we adopt to convey our idea of the impotence of |
a party, which originated question well calcu-
lated, in the existing condition of this State, 10
mlslead tho judgement and pervert the princi-
pies of the people. and, after having attracted to
its citizens the accumulated contempt ofthe civ
lllzed world, now. when they discover that there
is reaction taking place among the voters of the
State. and strong disposition manifested 10
re lieve the name of Mississippi from the load of
ntamy and disgrace. with which it is overwhel-
ned, the nominee for Governor of Convention
composed solely of Regulators, and organized
expressly upon their adherence TO that doctrine,
'eIy complacently tells his party, that, when he
goes before the people, he shall refrain from dis
'usslng such questions as will come within his
province to act upon. if he should be elected Int
