Pigeon Roost.-The Holmesville
Miss. Free Press, in speaking Of the
enormous "Pigeon Roost" in the vi
entity Of that place, says that "young
earthquakes end locus, flights are per-
fec, pigmies in comparison" to it. Its
editor says that as "seein' is believin',"
he will show such city editors as will
throw aside their editorial duties and
give him call, "sport that will cause
them to forget the duel joys Of city
life." Having seen some such things in
the course of our life, we can very read
lily conceive that no adequate idea of
the sight can be conveyed by descrip-
ton to those who have never witnessed
the like To them "seein' only is
believin'."

REPURLICANISM.

This is The watchwdr1 Of every political
party in our country. The word is used
! in much broader sense, than its strict
elymology would allow. Il covers much
more than iss Roman compounders ever
Dreamed of. Yet il is good word, sounds
full, and well, and fills up many gap
neatly aud prellily. Among other things
formerly included in it. was the disregard
of ancestry, and The necesrity Of personal
merit. Ii differed from the repubIicanism
of Rome in this, that il excluded every
Thing Parrician, but retained every thing
Pleban. No,0, We are trenching upon the
ground formerly occupied by The politicians
of The old Roman Commonwealth for
personal considerations weigh but lilllo,
unless one have a reputable senealCsy.
This seems to be the opinion Of many in
dividuals in reference 10 The Presidency al
least. Well, we suppose that our revo-
lulionary sires were very good-meanins
people; but they were simple and vulg gar.
LIS quite rational 10 improve what their
simplicity has left US; and though many
of cur sires could look only 10 progentors
among. what is called in Aristocratic Eng
.land,i ..lhe lower classes, Ue should require
lha, sire and grand sire of The candidates
for The highest postin the commonwealth
be men of "good blood" and of, distiuc-
lion. :, Il may be, that hereafter no one
may be allowed. to aspire To .eminence in
the nation whose sires have not been en-
rolled among the Conscrip. Fathers. For,
we should have for our rulers the purest
aud The brightest, and will notthe luslre OF
their forefathers add much to that Of their
sous
In view of this new order of things,
would it moi be we'll enough for politicians
10 look to their pedigree There may be
difficulties in the way. but little Invention
may overcome them.
These remarks have been suggested by
the course pursued in the canvass for the
presidency. "Who is Polk . '"who is
his. father" and "who is his grand falher!"
'lVho is Clay,p is bic father" and
'.who is his grand farher ?" The arlsto.-
Gratis of the old world will smile a! these
questions. They, who are SO !scrupulous
about these matters, would answer the IN;
terrogators best. They would doubtless
reply thus. ..they are both Of base pleblan
origin. 80. -.
Shame, shame upon those who have
ever propounded these questions: Have
we forgotten our republieanism Have
we given up our noble constitution Away
with this party madness. Away with this
foil precedent Of exhumins the dead, to
nv them fo,r their. characters. Are there
no o "general Issues. before the country !?
Has argurIieu, ii, uponr' lhem been expended?
.Are;the great minds Of the nation SO ex
.bausted, that we must employ political
grave diggers to disturb the rePose Of the
dead. % HT"'.5;-- So. 81. :. 80.
We deprecaie the course, which some
,inkers in politics have pursued in this mat
ter We fear The tendency Of lheif measures
upon the minds of The young. From he
heightscof our neutrality we put our feeble
veto upon the wretcbed precedent, and we
call upon the republicans of both parties,
! and upon the press TO frown it down.
