Or We arc authorized TO announce
CHARLES h. TAYLOR as candidate for
Treasurer Of Carroll county.
mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS, democratic candi.
date for Congress, addressed the people at
The courthouse on Monday. Owing to the
short notice given Of his appointment, the
attendance was not large. After a few
predatory remarks, Mr.. Davis referred to
sundry measures Of particular interest to
the people of this State, The importance
Of general system of Coast Defence in
tho Gulf--lho establishments Of Navy
Yard--and the location of an Arsenal in
the interior of Mssissppi--wero each men.
toned as deserving 10 be urged upon the
early attention and prompt action Of Con-
gross. Tho necessity Of a thorough and
efficient reform Of tho Militia System was
shown. He declared himself in favor of
a graduation of the price Of the Public
Lands, as an act Of policy on the part OF the
general government, and Of justice to the
States in which unsalcable lands are loca-
ted. He dwelt upon these, and other topics
at some length, and with much force and
cloarness, bringing forward many incon-
trovcrlibe facts and arguments in support
ofhis positions showing familiarity with,
and devotion to the general and local into
rests OF the State coming within the scope
Of the action Of Congress.
Mr.. Davis then referred to the great po-
liiical issues Of the day, which he summed
up briefly and succinclly as follows -
A Protective or Revenue Tariff
A National Bank, or the Independent
Treasury Law;
Distribution among the States, or preser-
walton in the treasury, OF the proceeds of
tho public lands
Preservation OF destruction of the Veto
power
Preservation of the Naturalization laws
against severe restrictions, or destruction
OF the rights they conferi
Extension OF our territory, or restriction
10 It's present lmits.
Ito argued each Of these issues briefly,
ably, and oloquently. His illustrations of
the iniquily and injustice Of the tariff OF
iol2, wore particularly forcible, as was al
so the condensed and comprehensive ox-
pose OF the system Of whole federal class
legislation sought TO be established in CHS
country.
The democracy of Mississippi may well
BIO proud OF such standard as JEFF.
fcrson Davis, and We predict that his pub.
lie career will be honorable and useful.
