The Democratic Whig. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1842-1843, 1843-07-06

We observe that IN The last number Of The
columbus Democrat the editor endeavoIh
to create an unlavorable impression IN regard
to Mr. Clsytou's nomination ior GOysfnof,
BY representing that il Is not fayofably re-
ceived.
lie makes a quotation from q leiier written
to him from Monroe county in Whichit is said
that 'the nomination has cast dismay and con.
fusion into the ranks Of Whiggey in this
county.
And the vety truthful editor Of the Demo
crat" concludes his remarks upon the nomina-
ton BY asserting, "that the whg pspers south
and west take Mr.. ClaytOn's nomination rather
coony."
Nov, as 10 whatever opinion RspuAa-
tors may entertain of the policy Of The
nomination, we will venture to say the
whole Wing party are perfectly ipdHsf-
eni and if we could be induced to doubt the
proprieiy Of it, it would be upon discovering
that it was received avorably by that class Of
persons. We know too well that Mr. Clayton's
elevated sentiments Of honor, and that bis mo-
raj character, are Of too high an order for poll
ticians Of that stamp, to be able TO appreciate
properly the correctness Of his principles, and
the purityoi his life.
But the assertion BY the editor Ofthe Dem
ocrat" alhat the Wing papers south and west
take Mr.. Clayton's nomination rather coOlly,"
is wholly gratuirous, and as far as our observa-
ton has extended, without foundation. We
have looked over the leading Wing JouTnah
IN that section Of the State with especial reie-
renee 10 this matter, and been gratified 10 dis
cover the satisfaction and complimentary
terms, with which they have uniformly spoken
Of the nomination The aSouthron," which
from It's location at the capitol Of the State,
may be considered the leading organ Of the
Wings Of Mississippi, in announcing the nom-
nation, thus speaks Of Mr.. Clayton;
"Our candidate for Governor, G. r. Clay.
ton Esq, Of Lowndes, is possessed Of all those
noble qualities which are requisite 10 const.
tuto a great and good man. Emioent as I.
iurist, unimpeachabe in his private relations
in society, and wllhal a firm, consistent and
uncompfomising whg, be will carry with him
in the canvass a power and influence which

hind the dsorganizing and honesty destroying
doctrines Of repudiation.-As has been stated
Of him he is the son Of worthy sire, and the
wing cause win never suffer in his hands.
We reImce to have such an individual at
the head Ct our ticket, and we doubt not the
wings from the north 10 the south and from the
east to the west, will rally around our stand
ard and triumphanty bear him to the gubem-
atorial chair. If were ssble that the en-
+ tire population Of the Stale could have been
present at the meeting which dominated him,
and could have heard The soul stirring and
hearty responses Immediately given 10 biz
nominations in strains Of eoquouce seldom sur 4
passed, we know that no wing, at least, could
be induced to extend 10 him a lukcwarm sup
port.-Not an individual wing WHO was pres
ent, we feel satisfied, has returned 70 his home
without being completely enstened m the
cause, and feel ng a determination TO use his
utmost exertions 10 elect The ticket. The cause
is glorious one. and with proper excrton We
shall triumT hantlylsuoceed."
f The Natchcz Courier and the Vicksburg
Wing, not less important from the spirit and
ability with which they are conducted, CONF
mend the nomination Of Mr. Clayton TO the
support Of thew higs and all An'i-Repud stors,
in The most unqualified terms Of compliment
The Yazoo Banner thus speaks Of the nomi-
cation:
Il a better nomination perhaps could not
have been made; It is such an one as will strike
terror. 10 the hearts of the regulators, and ~
the support Of which the Wings Of The State
will rally to a man. With this ticket we are
more than pleased and with its inscription on
our banner, we fling it to the breeze, trualng
to the God Of Justice, to aid US and our patty
3 in this holy crusade against those who seek IL
destroy the honor, credit, and fair name OF Ms
sissppi, by repudating her just debts.
But it is unnecessary for US TO multiply quo
tauons, or make special reference to the difie-
: rent Wing papers Of the State; we have seen
none, no, not one that has not expressed entire
satisfaction in Mr.. CIayon's nomination. II

s " rratuitous and uniounded, as we have pro-
e nounced 1t, he can refer to the papers upon
which he predcated his remarks, and # he
be borne out in them, we Will do him justice.
The editor OF the Pontotoc Tribune, a
Democratic paper entertains a very differed:
