The Paulding (Mss.) Clarion goe, for the FIRST
MONDAY IN MAY. correspondent in the same
paper rccommendsthe 70 lowing ticket for Congress:
JACOB THOMPSON, of Lafayette,
JEFFERSON DAVIS, of Warren.
STEPHEN ADAMS, ofMonroe,
JEFF. M. GRAYBILL, ofJasper.
The above we give for the benefit of our renders,
without comment, they are amply qualified to
attend to their own affairs. Notwithstanding which
we would merely ask--"Who is Stephen AID
a-n.-s7' Have we not had enough ofthese FISHERS
for oice2'' or shall we henceforward select for mem
bers of Congress the greatest asses we can find in
the State? Let S-t-e-p-h-i-n-g devote himself to
the practice ofthe law. Adler men than him are
engaged in it. And ten or fourteen year in Office
ia quite long enough for the Galore Of the in-
tellec, ofsuch one Stephen. Rotation in office.
That's the doctrine. The South at this time stands
in need Of her ables, men to breast the torrent that
now threatens her safety. Shall she no, have thenl
Aye, she will.
Uj"Wc take the above from tile 'Iazoo Demo-
craft of the l It'll inst. We give the whole Of the
article, so far as it aims at or reflects upon our
fellow citizen, the Hon. S. Adams. We do so
that the editor of the Democrat may not charge us
with having mutated in the slightest degrce, his
written opinion Of one of the purest, and decided.
Iy the mot personally popular democrat in the
north. We lay it before readers, also with avew
of their being able to Judge of the spirit es well
of the taste some have in INSTALLING prominent men,
We cannot form tho slightest opinion Why Judge
Adams is marked out by an editor who processes
a stern regard for the advancement Of democratic
principles as one fitted either by habit, education,
or capacity, for malignant and scurrilous abuse
Judge Albums is not fisher" for oiIics. There is
no man in the State more free of this political sin.
We speak by the card when we speak in relation to
the course pursued by Judge Adams. From the
South East and West, he has had innumerable CALI
and in this district, there i, no man whose enims
have been more strongly urged by the soundest and
most sngacious of the party, than have those Of
tho Hon. Stephen Adams. There has been no go
licitude manifested by Judge Adams az to what the
convention would do ifhiS name offered. Judge
Adams claims nothing at the hands Of the demo-
cratic party; he is cmpliatcay in the hands Of his
friends and VIC are mistaken in the signs of the
times, if they are not well cared for, maugre the
spleen and scunility of all opponents.
As TO the amount Of intellect possessed by Judge
Albums, he is not certainly u Crtchton, but We ven
ture the assertion, he has forgotten more than the
Editor ofthe Yazoo Democrat ever knew.
We are remarkably fond of wit, and enjoy it ex
ceedingly but it strikes US there is but step be.
tween wit and bufoonery. Many people gain the
latter while looking after the former.
OEe word, Mr.. Democrat. 1t highly lnpolitic
to ussai men of whom no man can say augilt tt
their disadvantage, and more particularly SO is it
when those men have been citizens of this Stute TO
many years, and have enjoyed the entire confidence
of their friends and party.
