Vvhig Bond-Paying Ticket.
The CanVass.

Messrs. HOWARD and THOMPSON, cal
didates for Congress, addressed the pc
pie ofour county at this place on Tue
day last. Mr.. Thompson led Off on n,
tional politics, winding up with som
faint aluslon to the bond question. Nj
Howard replied with sole reference t
that subject, and made decided hit.
There was deal TOO much persona
sParring for family quiet, and we shout,
not be surprised if the gentlemen shout,
get into all sorts of snarl before long
unless they agree upon a trdce before
they get beyond skirmishing. 1t is
true they restricted themselves to short
time; but in the time occupied, Mr.. How
ard might have clinched every nail in
the ready-made coffin of anti bondism.
If he had made a business Gift.
Mr.. Howard charges his antagonist
with having changed his opinions about
paymentof the bonds'a at a uery unpro
P't'o"s moment, and Mr.. Thompson re-
forts that Col. Howard las been on both
sides Of the fence and straddled it too.
AS these matters are exclusively family
concerns, we suppose it would suit the
people just as well if they were settled
al the fire side. Nevertheless, if thew
choose to go on with it, 1t will furnish
some amusement at least 10 those who
are like the old woman to her husband
and the bear.
In The coIrse'of his remarks Col. HI
EXPRESSED It as HIS conviction that the
result ofthe November election would
be to re-establish the credit of Mississip-
pi. He thought there was not n0se a re-
naming doubt Of the election of Clay
ton and a Wing 6ona-paying Legisia-
ture.
Constant complaints are made by anti
bond orators that the wings are all for
promising far but never paying. Thus
lar we have not had the power to do
any thing. The next session Of the Lee
glslature will do something besides talk.
A train of measures will BE set on foot
which will show that the wings are sin
cere IN their determination to redeem
the Pllghted faith Of Mississippi by all
means IN their power. If not, and not
Till then, it will be fair to charge the
wings with merely promising for eff ;
feet.
But with whatgrace does the charge I
come at any time from party which ,
has already elected Legislature pIedo- '

on every occasion. and take it for granted
you mean to do wha. is right. If a friend
ask favor you should grant IT, II 1t is

cannot. You will wrong yourself and
wrong him by equivocalion of any kind:
Never do a wrong thing TO make friend
or to keep one-,he man who requires

a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with
all men you will find i. the policy which
wears the best. Above all, do not appear
to others wha. you are not. If you have
fault to find with any one. tell him, NOT
others, of what you complain. There IS
no more dangerous experiment than that
of undertaking to be one thing before Il
mans face, another behind his back. We
should live, act, and speak out Of doors.
