The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1844-12-24
IS SIgnsin the HenveDs.o

On the evening of Wednesday last our atten-
ton was directed by friend to a singular ap-
pearance exhibited in the heavenp. On looking
up, we perceived a transparent vapor, rising in
the Southwest, extending to the zenith, and
only lost to view in the extreme boundary of the
horizon opposite. At first we supposed it to be
the tail of some comet then on its journey throu.
space. But this idea we soon dropped in reason
Of its regular advance from the place its FIRST
formation towards the northeastern section of
the heavens, in which direction it disappeared
after about an hours continuance in an unbrO.
ken line of extension across the heavens. Some
few believers in "Signs' took the south side of
the streak when it commenced its Journey. sta.
ting at the same time that they looked upon it as
a line of division marked out between the Soutb
and North, and as for themselves, they would
stick to COlumbia's soil-ths South. We look.
ed upon it as an omen and in ratification of the
bill, which before this time, likely.
has passed both Houses of Congress, and received
the sanction Of John Tyler.

tied to attract much attention, and The rates form
no criterion. They are generally taken by man
ufaclurers here. At New Orleans a little more
activity was apparent in the market for this arti

that the present stock Of Flour and Wheat is
not more than sufficient TO meet the homo de-

stock reducing the Wheat to Flour, is estimated
at from 6 to 1000 bos. and the daily con.

WING CONVENTIONS.

The Missouri Statesman proposes that a
Wing Mass Convention be held in Bruins
wick, Charlton county. on the 18th day of
July next The Wing Young Men have
in contemplation a Mass Convention at ST.
Louis on the lst Monday in June next, and
a Mass Convention for this District, is to
be held at Paris, on the last Friday in
June. The Mass Convention at Bruins.
wick, it seems 10 us, comes in at rather an
inappropriate time: either it, the 81. Louis
Convention, or our District Convention,
vii be a failure, from the fact of their com.
ing so close together. This should be
avoided, if possible; if we appoint time
and place TO hold a convention. every wing
that possibly can should attend. Can a
full and general attendance be expected at
two State Conventions-with District
Convention interyening-when they come
so close together7 We think not, and would
deprecate failure in either case.
We would suggest that the ST. Louis
Convention be the only one held for the
State at large-et that be State Conven.
ton, in name and in fact, composed Of PEG.
pie from all parts of the State; then let the
wings in the different Districts hold District
Mass Conventions at some convenien,
time. This will afford an opportunity for
the wings throughout the State to assemble
together and interchange FEELINGS and sen.
,iments, and learn the exact state of affairs
in every section Of the State; and. at the
District which should be
held after the State Convention-the course

DEMOCRACY-ITS CONSISTENCY
ITS FAIRNESS

We publish to-day two articles on our
first page, to which we invite the special
attention of our readers, in order tina. they
may see the consistency Of the Democratic
party.
One Of the articles is on the subject of
Bankrupt Law. The late Bankrupt Law
was denounced by the Editor of the Dem
ocrat in speech he made in the Court
house some time since, as Wing measure.
passed for the benefit of swindlcrs, rognes
and thieves. By the article alluded to, il
will be seen that almost all the distinguished
men Of the party to which our neighbor Of
the Democrat at present belongs, were in
favor of Bankrupt Law of some kind or
other; and many of them advocated and
voted for such law, more odious in It's
features than was the late Wing swndlng
one. But we suppose tina, subject, like
dis'rictng the State for the election of
members of Congress, involves no princ-
ple---at least with locofocos.
The other article referred to above re.
Iates 10 the Tariff, against which, we be-
lieve, in every shape and form, the editor
of the Gratis also opposed.
The testimony in favor of Tariff. ar
rayed in the article alluded TO, cannot be
successfully combatled; but if the locofoco.
cannot get along one way, or maintain
themselves honorabIy, they are not very
scrnpulous as to the means they adopt t,
wage war against measure, as will be seer
by the following, from late number OF
the National lnteligencer:
THE daily Globe of the 4th instant quotes al
