DEAR STR;-I hasten to inform you
that Isaac n. Davis OF your county one
ofthe Whig candidates for Electors OF
President and V. President Of the Uni
ted States addressed the citizens of this
county (Tallahatchie) at this place on
yesterday. There were about two hun
dred persons present, principally wings
Clay WhigS, and allow me TO assure
you sir, that the effort of Mr.. Davis in
the noble cause which he advocates
was gratifying to his friends, and con-
vincing to the Democratic party. On
the Tariff, ard especially incidental
protection, Mr. d. was very able, elo-
quent, and convincing, as the tumultu-
Gus and prolonged cheers OF the audi
ence testified His whole speech was
gumentatlve, and deeply impressive.
And never have | heard the beauties,
and merits of our cause so powerfully
sci forth. Mr. d. spoke for one hour
and half, and then gave way to MHe
Mr.. Foot, who happened to meet Mr.. D.
here, one Of the Democratic candidates
for Electors Of President and V. Presi-
dent, who mounted the stand for three
long tedious and wearysome hours, he
dealt out the wholesale batch of recent
ISLANDERS, propagated by the Polk party
until one by one of his audience left the
house, until few Of his own party re-
mained TO thump their cudgels against
the floor, so as 10 Intimate that their
great champion was still battling in the
cause &C Locofocoism; he finally con-
cluded about five o'clock, exhausted and
his audience httle mo.e so. Mr..
Davis friends feel proud of the issue
between him and the little Mr.. Foot
who is looked upon by his party as the
oracle of democracy and on the 10Th
inst. they meet at Preston TO discuss the
Teras question, and the cardinal princi-
pies of each party.-AG er ..h..e good
Clay Wings, will attend from this coun-
ty on that day to witness the defeat of
the champion of Texas, annexation &c.
In fact Mr.. Fdltor, have never seen
the Wings in better spirits in all my
life. Some of them contend that Polk
will not get exceeding four States, 9TH
ers claim six and the democrats shake
their heads with an ominous shake.

From notice in another column, il
will be seen that Judge Guion will give
us speech here on Monday the 29lh.
Judge Guion is one Of the best minds Of
the state, as well as strong and con
vincing reasoner. Probably we shall
not enjoy greater treat during the
canvass than 10 hear him, and We hope
10 see large tur II out.

Let every whig rejoice and be glad that
the national faith is triumphant in the

Louisiana Elections. The whig sky
looks bright and glorious over Louisi-
ana. We have us yet only rejoced
over the Wing victory and redemption
oil New Orleans. But we now have
but little doubt that we may extend our
reioicings for the whole State, as the
prospect seems very fair that we have
carried the Legislature, and two Of the
four members to Congress; the Locos,
electing the entire four, last July.
The Tropic of Saturday still lets that
same old fat and saucy Coon head lis
election news, under VIII ich we take the
following:
Thibodeaux, has beaten Alice La
Branche for Congress in the New Or
leans district more than 600 votes; La
Branch was elected last July, about one
hundred; showing Whig gain of over
700 votes. OF this district the Tropic
says-'In November next, we pledge
our Wing brethren OF the Union ma
jority in the second Congressional Dis
trict Of fifteen hundred votes for Hen
ry Clay and Frelinghuysen. 1t is nc
idle pledge as events will prove
THE REsULT.-The returns from the
different sections Of the State come in
rather slowly but they are Of the most
cheering character. So far as we are
enabled to Judge, the wings have tri-
umphed in all quarters. We are salts.
fed that we have carried majority oi
both branches Of the Legislature, and
that the wings and conservatives united
have elected a large majority Of the
State Convention. That we have also
gained two members ofCcngress, is be.
yond controversy. So far as we have
heard, we have gained one member oil
the Senate, and most gratifying gain
It is too. Gen. David Edwards, whie
good and true, has been elected from
the St. Tammany district by majority
of one hundred and forty votes over

most radical, noisy and red-mouthed 10
cofocos in the State. The signal defeat

SLynchinG in Pamela.

''LynchinS in PanOia.' -~
0- Under the head Of "Lynching in
PanoIa," the Memphis Enquirer of the
11th inst doubtless through mlsinfor-
nation, makes a misstatement OF facts.
We allude 10 the case Of "Ferguson,'
lately arrested for kidnapping the two
little girls, and stealing negro from a
gentleman in Holmes county. The fol-
lowing paragraph embodies the mis-
statement alluded TO:
"After the two liends were taken they
were handcufed and brought back to
Pamela. The citizens hearing the cir
cumstances, and fearing that they might
in some way escape the punishment due
their crimes, organized themselves into
an extra judicial tribunal, and appointed
a jury of twelve men, who sentenced
them TO be severely cowhided, the SEN
tence 10 be executed the one upon the
Other. This was accordingly done, the
negro receiving thirty-fve and the
white man twenty-five lashes we'll LAID
on with 4 cowhide. The sentence was
for each to receive fifty Iashes, butthey
were so gashed with the number above
stated that the popular mercy RENTED
the balance They were then handed
over to their guard, to be taken back to
Holmes. Our informant heard in Pa
nola that the white man had been whip
ped to death by the citizens ofthat coun-
ty, but is not certain that his informa-
ton is correct.
The informant of the Enquirer can
not be certain that any of his ''iniorma-
tion is correct" :" The true statement,
as we derive it from those who were
present, is this. Ferguson and the ne
gro were brought to this place without
handouts. Previous to their arrival,
they had cvinced refractory disposi-
tion, on account Of which they were
handcuffed together when they arrived
here. During the process Of handcuff-
ing Ferguson manifested refractory
disposition, and among other things
made threat, saying gentlemen | will
see you some other time" &c, This
produced an irritable state of feeling
among the gentlemen who had captured
and had him in charge, and, III order to
a safe and convenient conveyance of
the prisoner to Holmes county, they
thought it advisable that his and the ne
gro's refractory spirit should be first
subdued by fiagellation According
ly they submitted to the citizens TO say,
not whether the prisoners should be
whipped, for that they had already re-
solved on; but hoac much and how they
should be whipped. Such citizens as
happened to be present (calI it jury or
what you willy decided that the prison
ers should whip each other, fifty lashes
each; provided the effect Of such whip
ping should not be in any manner TO
disable them from travelling. This
sentence was only in part executed, the
negro whipping so hard that it was
thought prudent to stop him. The
enormity of the crime perpetrated joint
ly by the white man aud negro was
such doubtless as to produce strong
feeling, but il did not manifest tselr ON
the part of the citizens Of this place in
the irrational excitement whic h usually
attends lynching operations. If it be
regarded as q case of lynching, the
gentlemen who guarded the prisoners,

The Anneration Of Trras.-The last
Richmond Enquirer has some ralhss
startling developments in regard to Az
nexation. 1t states that an unusual in.
timacy, and active intercourse Of com
smunication, is said to have existed OF
late between the British and French
Ministers, that France is as much OPP
posed to the annexation Of Texas TO the
United States as England was known
10 be. Indeed, a Protest from the
French King is said to have been in the
hands Of his Minister at Washington for
some weeks, but he had withheld it
it being evidently unnecessary, as the
Senate would not ratify the Treaty.
The Enquirer states moreover that
an important Cabinet Council was held
on the 22d ult., bat does not feel author
lied to hazard 'conjeciurcs as TO what
occurred therein. The editor 2sr
10 say that there is no longer a VI
the fact, that the Ministry OF France
and England are equally and eagerly
intent on defeating the annexation OF
Texas TO the United States. 1nteli-
gence has been received, on this point,
which canno, be dou bted.

REMARKS OF MR.. BALDWIN,
lF CLINTON COUNTY


In the Senate, January 30th, 1874;
the question being on the final passage
of the bill "to fix and apporlion the
representation in the General Assem-,
bly, of the State Of Ohio"
M. BALDWIN said, Mr.. Speaker: do
not rise for the purpose protracting this
discussion,or delaying the vote, which am
satisfied, the majority desires should be
taken. But there are some things, (which
have been said by Senrtors on the other
side, so strange, so unjust, that | am un,
willing that The vote should be taken, un,
til some Of them have been replied TO, and
exposed. This discussion has taken .
very wide range, and in order that the
minority should not have it to say, that
we had tied them down, by the rules, TO
the bill under consideration, we have per~
mitted ,them, not only % discuss the mer.
its of the apportionmen of 1885. and
1910; at one word, we have pc rmitted
them to deal out all the bllingsgate and
slang, so peculiar to their party now
intend to answer their arguments as to the
merits OF the bill, and to dispose Of their
party slang, in summary way, as | pass
along. There is one redeeming trait, in
the remarks of these gentlemen. The
Senator from Lake, (Mr. Perkins, and the
Senator from Muskingum, (Mr. Cham
bers,) both seem to recollect, that we have
a Constitution in the State Of Ohio tha
we are sworn to support it. an that the
oath lays US under solemn obligation Il
observe, project and preserve that con
Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1844-02-20

are concerned are equally as fit for The
office as Mr.. Van Buren,, but who wher
viewed with regard to their political o
pinions we would consider entirely dis
qualified. We should look more partic
ularly at the measures which he viii
carry out; we should consider him only
ss the embodiment of our own princi'
pies, which he holds in common with ev.
cry member Of the democratic party,
rather Than as private individual hold
ing opinions and entertaining sentiments
peculiar to himself. It is not to be expec cE
ted that every individual will be perfecta
y satisfied, but it is much better to unite
upon one man, than TO cause a division
in the ranks. Let-us adopt he utilita
! rian doctrine, of comforting the greatest
good upon the greatest number, let US
all unite upon the NOMINEE of the ma.
tional convention whoever he may be-
This done the great work is. in m cas-
ure accomplished. The signs of the
times are cheering. When was unanimi'
~ even more clearly manifested at our
State conventions than at the last. The
delegates from the different parts of
the State were there assembled together,
and all seemed of one opinion, all
we're united, all confident of success -
Besides this uuanimlty in our ranks, we
all hope still recollect the disastrous
results of the campaign of 40, and also
The measures by which the wings suc-
ceeded. 1t is of no use TO disguise
the truth, the people were ripe for
change, the whig leaders were drful
men, they gave right direction 10 the
current, the democracy were luiIed into
fatal security by continual successes,
and The federal party triumphed. But
the scene is now shifted,-the people
have had change and find they are
worse conditioned than before :they only a.
wait the opportunity now TO ren ounce
their errors.
Nothing is now wanting to stir up the
zeal Of the democratic party but TO place
Martin Van Buren before the people for
the same Office.
What greater triumph can we desire
than to again elect him PresideRl? But
we should remember that we have the
same wiley and intriguing opponents.--
Henry Clay is their idol: what will they
not do 10 elect him? We may be assured
they will leave nothing undone, that they
can possibly do.
Already they are spreading their songs
amongst the people, hoping 10 produce
the same excitement, and enact again
the scenes we witnessed in 40, but
cOOnism, OF worship Ito use a Car
lyleism) is detunct-the appetite Of the
people is saliated.
Too great confidence Of success may
yet prove fatal to US Let us be on the
qui UiUe, let there be unanilnity in our
ranks, and Henry Clay will meet with
severer rebuke from the people than he
he ever did before.
