act of justice, to give the whole article, has
persisted in refusing. until the Sou.hron has

appear some W hat dema gogucal to some, but
they are nothing compared to the under
workings which carried on behind the
curtain AS the Enquirer says. there are
certainly great principles at stake in this
election, and we had thought that the candl-
dates would discuss these principles alone be-
fore the people; bu there are some people
who prefer an indian~fght to a regular bat
tie, and resort TO personalities and chicanery
as preferable to fair and open conflict The
extract from The Enquirer is as follows
REFORM OF THE BRITISH CON
STITUTION!
Quite a spirited controversy is nov going
on between Our contemporaries at Holly
Springs Miss, 10 determine whether the
British Constitution should be so amended |
as to allow an extension of .he right OF sur |
fraee to all the subjects of Her Majesty. |
Queen VICTORIA. Friend Falconer ofthe |
Gazette is rather averse to the proposed |
but our brother Joseiyn OF the
Guard is rabid for the proposed extention,
not only in the British empire. but through
oat the world. In our ignorance we had
una gined that there were questions enough /
Of domestic concern in Mississippi to occupy
he talents of our contemporaries JUS. VA
ned. In particular. we supposed that the
determination OF the question whether Mis-

vow "a manly resolve to acknowledge and
edeem her plighted faith. or continue, as
ow by sustaining disreputa5le doctrine of
to be I'd kissing and byword' |
, The world, was at the present rather of
aramount importance TO their readers
Sut il seems we were mistaken. The State
{ Mississippi is too ciicumscribed e theatre
nd the honor of member of the American
Union is too small theme, to engage their
tten.iop:
No pent-up Utica contracts our powers. r
For the whole boundless Unioerse is ours!
With bis lance of goose-quill in rest, the ed
or Of the Guard charges home upon the
ime- -honored institutions" of Eng land with
lie gallant fury of knight of the den time
attling to avenge the wrongs of all crea +
