Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1844-12-17
GOVERNOR BROWN.

Singular McaouUeTi-g.-N have Sc
veral letters that apprize rs Of n Fgm5r
which has been put in circulation Of re-
mote points in the state, to the effect: that
Gov. BRowN will not be a candidate for
reelection to the Office which he now
fills with such credit 10 himself and with
such satisfaction TO his constituents
Without stopping 10 enquire the origin Of
this rumor. 1t becomes our duty 70 state
what we, IN common as we believe, with
almost the entire democratic party Of the
state, have considered the position which
Gov. B. at this time occupies relatively 10
the people. This we do without anv au-
thority from him, but simply to arrest an
unfounded report which may, if not cor
rected, decoy many honest men into the
tolls of wire pullers for sinister purposes.
We know we can say of Gov Brown that
he will not be candidate for reelection
should that party which elected him to
Office express dissatisfaction with his ad-
ministration. The constitution of Missis
sippi has fixed the term of the office Of
Governor at two years, permitting re-
election of the incumbent to a second term
of service: thus affording to the efficient
executive an opportunity Of testing wheth-
er his constituents approve or condemn
his past acts. All men know, and can ap-
preoiate the qualification which it affords
the public officer, who has honestly labor
ed TO discharge the duties of his station,
to receive evidence that those who con-
fered honor and place upon him. are sat-
isfed with his official course.
So viewing the circumstances which
surround the present Chief Magistrate OF
Mississippi, we have regarded him as the
natural candidate of the party for re cleo
| ton. We believe that in no quarter of the
state has a murmur of dissatisfaction es-
capped the people with his administration.
Indeed we have even doubted whether
the whig party could bring into the field a
man Of respectable qualifications in oD-
position to him. Whenever the demo
cratic convention shall meet, we believe
that Gov. 3. will be re-nominated by ac-
clamaton, and we entertain no doubt that
he will again bear our standard through
the fight TO yictory.-Mississtppiaz.
GooD.-Our friend Lewis, of the Yazoc
Democrat perpetrates the following " pal
pable hit" The great "letter- writer" was
evidently too hasty in his conclusions:
Henry Clay, in one of his letters writ
ten during the canvass, remarked in sub
stance that " the Texas annexation ques
ton had hursted, and blown up no one hu
Mr.. Van Buren," We imagine that he il
now fully convinced that Mr.. Van Burer
was not the only one who was completely
blown up by the question of annexation
