The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1844-11-12
The prompt ana victorious Democracy
d. YnZOO.

az K0ZOOs
In our last we neglected to notice three gallant
Rallys of the Democracy made previous to the
final test Of the strength of the two parties on
the 4th and 5th inslants, the fruits of which
were the decreased number ofvotes polled by the
Wings, in this-theit stronghold. On the NOR.
ming Of the Both, delegation of the democracy
of Yazoo city, accompanied by number Of la
dies took passage on the steamboat Volant, in
order TO be present at Barbecue announced to
be held at Satarta that day. But three days
time was given to prepare the Barbecue, and in
vite to it's attendance the citizens Of the county
The Volant reached Satartia about IL o.
clock, where every arrangement for the proper
accommodation Of the guests had been made.
cotton shed had been selected as place un-
der which the audiance should collect to hear
the speakers address them. About two hundred
and fifty persons were in attendance.
The meeting was organized by calling to the
Chair DR.. JOEL c. RICE, who, after a few appro-
rate remarks, introduced WIN. B. Turner, ESQ. /,
OF our tOV", IA, speaker; and who acquitted him
self on the occasion in a hkPpE and well.timed
effort, eliciting ut its Globe three enthusiastic
cheers.
The company adjourned to dinner, where an
abundance was found to satisfy all. On the re-
turn of the company to the place of speaking,
Judge ]. BATTAILLE, of Benton, was called upon
by the meeting. He tack the stand, and in the
delivery of bis address eyinced thorough &C. |
Iuaintance with the subjects he discussed. This |
gentleman, during the past canvass, we have |
leard but once. His remarks indicate mind
iven to study, and he is an argumentative and
lose reasoner His remarks called forth appro
alton from the listeners. With the knowledge
e had Of this county before coming here, we
re surprised that she has not given democratic
iajority lone before This. The result of the re-
ent election rebounds much to the honor or the
emocracy Of 6 old Yazoo;' but when we can
all such choice spirits to the stump as HoLT.
'URNER, SHARPE, BATTAILLE, and Others, Il is to
: matter Of astonishment that even the track
a Coon is to be seen in this county.

fore heard of any one Of this name, we merely
asked for information.
In 1897, we worked 10 the "Natehez Courier"
Ofice--a wing paper, II was rule to ring up
the journeymen at sunrise by a hand.beIl, as il
they were plantation negroes. We aided in
abolishing that rules we aided, in establishing,
in the same Office, the ten-hour system, which
before that been thrown aside as matter Of but
little import to the jour. but Of much to the EN-
ployer. We were also one of those who struck
against the "two-thirder' policy, and with Others
denounced the "Couner' as "rat Office" We
are the same Sam Lewis, whose highest pride has
always been for his fellow workmen to look upon
him as an independent jour. printer, and who
on no occasion has ever crOuched in subserv-
ENJOY to avoid the frown Of an employer.

rePublicanism will draw in still closer bonds OF
friendship, all who look to the wider spread OF
the true principles of government as the only
place, where may repose in safety the acquired
rights Of all who have ever contended for pOlit-
icaI equality among men.
Congratulations, we may freely pass-sor a
greater stake has not been won since that so sue
ces'fuly achieved by the fathers OF our Repub-
lie, when British oppression was laid low and
the rulers Of that "mighty country" taught that
taxAtiOn without representation would not be
submitted to by people who had the courage
to resist No other resnlt than the present VIC
tory obtained by the democracy could have been
anticipated. Their appeals were made to free
men OF inlelligence-were directed to their rea-
soning powers, and without the Aimsy glitter Of
array, indeliby Impressed their lasting truths on
the minds of all. Our triumph is complete.
And to the world we exhibit the realization Of
the truths advanced by the heroes Of the Rovo-
luton, "that government was instituted and
intended for the benefit, and enjoyment of
all who aided in its establishment or existence.''
Here its privileges are extended to all. To the
attainment of its highest Offices no barriers of
rank are opposed to merit. And the voices of
he millions expressed through the ballot box
IAN, at will, abrogate the corrupt and oppreg-
i've laws that at times are found 10 impress
themselves on legislation.

of the Wing, has 'StOoped'' to the utteranco Of
charges, which to Say the least Of them, are en-
terly without fouIiution, and entirely unsuscep
tible of proof We do not wish to charge our
neighbor, with All moral obliquity, for in his

YAZOO CITY:
TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. IL, 1874.
10 the Readers of "The Democrat. >,

My connection with the Yazoo Democrat, as
one Of its editors and publishers, ceases to-day.
The pOper will be continued by Mr.. LEWIS
ThepatrOnage of the Office, though. sufficient TO
sdstain the paper, will not justify the employ
ment Of both Ofus. This was apparent soon after
the commencement Of the publication, and /
have continued in the Office at some pecuniary
sacrifice, until the time for the decision Of the
great political battle-a volunteer in the good
cause. II the paper, under the disadvantageous
circumstances of its establishment, has had the
effect, however remotely, of arousing any friend
of Equal Rights to more Jealous exertions in the
canvass-if its honest and weIl-meant exertions
to expose the sOphistrles, Misrepresentation and
falsehoOds so industriously prOpagated by the
wing presses against our cause and our candidate
for months past, have been appreciated and ap.
proved by its patrons-then am amply remu- |
neFated, in the consciousness Of having contr- |
buted Gin however small a degree with a hearty
good will,) to such an object. If the election
should result, as hope and believe it will, in
the success of the Democratic candidates, may
it prove victory indeed-not only change Of
rulers, but return to the Republican policy as
expounded in the resolutions of the Baltimore ,
Convention-the firm establishment of that poll ,
cy-aud the extension of the projecting arm Of ]
our Constitution over those pioneers of liberty :
who have reclaimed from tyranny our rightful
possessions beyond the Sabine.
In taking leave Of the patrons Of tho paper,
! tender them my thanks, and my best wishes,
for themselves individually, and for the trium-
ant Fsoe-oos eC Denaooro+io T,r;nc tl,is
section of the State. F. C. JONES.

November l, 1874.

An apology isdue from US in passing in silence
in our last number the above remarks Of our
friend and associate. As an act Of simple jrsa-
iiee, to his ability well az the Industry he dis
played while in the "Democrat," we in candor,
and Invested Of any wish to fatter, admit, that
by himself has been won all claim to the merit
that may have been accorded to this paper for
the course it has pursued during the past three
months. We wish him with all our heart better
snccess for the future than attended his exer-
tions in this county. A thorough going rOdical,
he unites in moral worth and intellect all that is
necessary to constitute an honest and fearless
defender Of dem ocratic principles.

The Election.

The conflict is over. We know not its termi-
nation; yet we have the fairest hopes Of success
We cannot yet believe that our opponents are
in the least successful. They have fought most
nobly; and VIC regret their having spent their
time, talents and money in SO hopeless cause.
We say to our Wing friends, not again to put
up horse so often defeated-"he has the game
but not the bottom" He has, however, afforded
US sufficient amusement for the season.
In few weeks we hope that we will be ena-
bled to lay before our readers the entire vote.
Be not surprised if Polk and DALLAS get lar.
ger vote than General Harrison did in 1910.

One ofthe mOttos adopted by the Wbigs in
the late Presidential canvass, was - We stoop

would again assume, that quiet dignity, which
