| ton of Reputation. We ale now. however =,
opinion that the Wing party can be neither in
duced to cast their votes on any other thansa
member of their own family, nor, if they ,conId
do we think that bond paving Democrat would
bring much strength with him into the contest.
Several gentlemen of the highest standing in
the Southern portion of the State have been
mentioned as proper persons for the office. A..
mong them, Mr. Guion, Mr.. Yerrer. Mr.. Nit
chell, and COL Bingamon. We have no obiec-
ton to either of these gentlemen; but consider
ing that if the Wings can succeed in electing
their Governor, they will be able to return
majority to the Legislature, and consequently
elect Wing Senator, who by general accla>
nation will be Mr.. Prentiss, we think that the
candidate for Govoynor ought 10 be selected
from the North. In this view of the case Mr..
Clayton claims are as high as any other gem
tleman's in the State. Popular, and highly
respected for his talents and his virtues wher>
ever he is known, he only requires his acquain-
lance to be more extensive to have his nomin-
alton universally acceptable. AS far as we have
learned the sentiments of the Wing party in the
North Eastern portion of Mississippi in regard
to him we have no doubt but that he would be
preferred TO any of the individuals prominent
before the people for the Office of Governor.
