The Democratic Whig. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1842-1843, 1843-06-01

There is decidedly marked change in the
tone of the advocates of this doctrine since
their famous 22d of February Convention at
Jackson, and the practical illustration, which
Graves has given Of its beauties. In that
assembly of illustrious sages, so confident was
the belief of the members, that they could push
their doctrines to the utmost limits with the
most triumphant success, that when Mr. Arch.
Moore of this County offered resolution re-
cognising the liability of the State for the
Planters Bank Bonds, he was treated in the
most uncourteous and disrespectful. manner,
and his resolutions were thrown aside with
undlsguised contempt. 1t was universally
understood that, whatever might have been
the previous sentiments of the nominees of
that Convention, in regard to the payment of
the Planters Bank Bonds, they were then
decidedly adverse to Them There seemed no
differ ence of opinion on this subject But
what '.a change has come over the spirit of
their dreams!" The Hon. A. G. Brown, the
nominee for the Gubernatolial Chair, after
waiting until he could ascertain decidedly pub
lie sentiment on this subject, is now said tt. be
in favor oftheir payment. The Mississippian,
the organ of the Loco Foco party at the seat
CT Government, the strenuous advocate of
unconditional reputation, after writhing and
twisting in every ridiculous attitude, in which
an attempt to change his position whilst he
was endeavoring to preserve the appearance
of consistency could present him, has been at
length constrained to say that the Planters
Bank Bonds ought to be paid. And the Great
Repudiator too, the renowned A. G. McNutt
has been compelled by public opinion to re-
cede from the position, on which he had plant
ed his standard, land to send assurances to the
Northern portion of the State, where the peo-
pie are not prepared to receive I'm IT'S full atu.

the subject of the Planters Bank Bonds. In
every direction, with the exception of a few
whose hardihood viii admit of no retreat, those

the charter Of the Union Bank, and the mag

ings of the people to which they appeal, win,
they hope, sustain them in the approaching
contest. But their hopes are delusive, their
