pluck the bright wreath Of victory from the
brows Of their opponents. Hence VIC see
them year after year gaining strength,

county, is not their example worthy of
your jealous imitationH In this county,
"all is WE'LL" but in our state, we have
overwhelming odds TO contend against.
We can hardly hope for success in the
state canvass, yet we should labor 10 re.
move from our state oscu!eheon the foul
incubus OF Reputation, with as much &C.
tivity, zeal, and untring perseverance,
as though we could command success,
without an effort If our labors should
be in vain-if Reputation should again
trlumph-if the character and integrity
Of our once proud state, once respected
and honored throughout the Union
must be sunk to still slower Deep" let
US be enabled to point proudly to the I'M
suIlled banner Of old, answering Amite,
and tell our sister counties, the state, end
the union, that the dark flag Of Repudla-
ton never has, and never shall wave in |
triumph over her sunny plains-that her
honest sons regard with loathing and alb
horrence, the foul doctrine, and that then
have done their whole duty to the state,
10 themselves, to their country, and to pos
Ierity.
Then, Wings Of Amitc, let us labor
with unratering energy until we shall
have regained our old strength. 1t can
easily be done, if you will only put your
shoulders to the wheel, determined to sue
coed. And then look at our standard
bearers You all know them. The elo-

strengthened with your strength" His
talents have reflected credit spon the
county Of his birth, and well may old
Amite be proud of her gifted son. or his
colleague in the canvass, DR.. ROGERS,
1t is useless to speak. He is wei known
to you all as an able, upright, and honor
able gentleman, and well calculated for
the station to which you wish to elevate
him. For long series Of years he has
resided among you, and his integrity or
his abilities have never yet been CUES
toned.
Then, Wings, rally once more to the
contest. Our banner is unfurled to the
breeze. Rally, as one man beneath its
waving folds, on which are inscribed
mo RePudiation," State Faith and Ma.

more than likely that unexpected triumph
may crown our long and arduous lebors

present prospects, glorious rainbow of
