To the Public,

We have thought it advisable under
all the circumstances, to make change
in the terms of the Lynx. Our
terms hereafter will be $500 in ad-
vance, or $500 at the end of the ear.
Those of our subscribers who have not
paid in advance, will only be charged
$500 if paid any time within two
months We think this course, while
it benefits the subscriber, will also bene
fit US, by increasing our circulation,
which is steadily progressing. This,
then, will be the cheapest paper in.
north Mississippi, under this new ar.
rangement.
The lynx. (Panola, Mi. [i.e. Miss.]) 1845-1845, 1845-08-09

or Attention is directed to the let
ter Of Col Miller. He, or any OF the
gentlemen spoken Of as candidates
would ably represent our interests in
the legislature, and reflect credit upon
the country. For ourselves, we OF
course have no personal preference,
and should not express any if we had,
but will warmly support whoever the
convention, or the people deem ftiest
to bring before them.

o. \ per tie'a- OF en- e>st;ela -of-oara
last week, we are informed, has given
some Of cur readers Of both parties
offence. Now, nothing was further
from our intention, when we penned
that article, than to convey The impress
sion that we wished TO draw The party
lines in all county elections. We ad-
nit, that the article, upon close inspec-
ton, rather favors that construction,
and we also admit that it was too loose
ly pened, but when it was written, we
did not think Of such offices as Sheriff,
Clerks &c, but had reference exclusive
ly TO legislative offices. No one could
feel more regret than we should, to see
every little county office swelled up and
distorted into political impor lance, nor
do we ever intend to lend our influence
knowingly, 10 produce such state of
things. SO far as legislative Offices are
concerned, we have not expressed our
selves in stronger language than we
intended, aud we cannot express our
selves more strongly than We feel
For we do feel, that the wing party
owe their defeat, and adverse circum-
stances, to fraud and misrepresentation
on the part of their opponents, and
while they wonld grind US ander their
heels, and exterminate US as a party
from the face of the earth forever, il is
certainly our duty to rally from every
nook and corner Of this broad land, our
forces, and fight as long as there is a
soldier in our ranks. Wherever the
democrats have a majority, in the ad
} joining counties, or elsewhere, a whig
is consuming time unnecessarily TO run
/ for an office. Is it not then, fair, thai
wherever the wing party are in the as
tendency, that they should be allowed
10 select men OF their own party? The
democrats do it, and we do not blame
them, We should do it, and they should
not blame US. We mean Of course
political Offices, lest our language should
not be understood.

The Memphis Appeal RACES and lrets,
and frets and RACES, at what it conceives
an unholy attempt from some quarter
TO defeat, or retard the consumaiien Of
the annexation measure. The democrats
certainly deserve some credit for the
spirit with which they attempt TO fix up
that measure, and we hope, that as that
measure has received the sanction OF
both governments, thut no effort will
prove successful to defeat what the PEG
nie desire. Personally we have no OBJ
lection 70 annexation, for it can neither
benefit nor injure US; but we did op-
pose it, because wethough,, il as ma
,ional measure, highly impolitic. Poor
M'Nutt, this hue AM cry about annexa-
ton in danger, will be caught up and
reiterated by his hostile brethren much
10 his prejudice.

Governor jones' journey through
Kentucky was like u triumph. Oh

inch man: and we predict that, should
his life be spared until the finger of
time shall bleach his locks with silver
of few more years, he will stand in
the affections of this great nation, Sc
cond only 10 our beloved Clay. How
did he overturn with his single arm, the
citidel Of democracy IN Tennessee
when James K Polk stood with his
shoulder underneath its lettering walls
and the mandate from the hermitage
was ringing long and loud in the ears
of tho dwellers therein! How he no
only overturned it, but how he rolled i
over and over again, until the mud anC
mortar flew broad cast far and wide! !
He did it-yes; and he can do it again
If ever the yanquished have the effront
cry TO stick that mud and mortar to
gether again.

The democracy affect TO ridicule the
wing convention, and prophesy that it
will be failure or humbug, perhaps
so: we can't say it will not,-but why
gentlemen, do you seem TO be startled,
and scared, and turn pale?-are you a.
fiaid ofthe little band of wings Are
you afraid 10 meet such men as Starke,
Thompkins, Davis, Bradford, Yerger,
and othersl
Experience has taught, that in our
country at least, majoritIes should never
affect to dispise minoritles, for it fire.
quently happens that thus ,--dispsed,
they swell up suddenly as with the ma
gic OF a sigh into the majority. II
you wish TO keep us down you must
do it by gentlcr means. You must en-
deayor TO reconcile US to our adver-
sity by kindly words, but whenever
you attempt to keep US in subsection by
trowns and contemptuous interiectons,
you arouse our slumbering sense of
former wrongs and outrages, and each
man Of us will turn upon his guard,
like the Texan prisoners, with Her
culean strength. Sheer on, gentlemen
the timo is coming and now is, when
the glad shouts of emancipated wings
will roll upon your ears, sounding the
death knell OF your political suprema-
cy. 1t will, it will.

MAJOR NIX. &c.

My DEAR LYNX once knew in
the village of y y, man by the name
Of John Nix. He was halter by trade;
was raw boned, broad -shouldered, and
full six feet four inches in height; his
head was small and round, his face
harsh and we'll linel with whiskers,
his arms and legs were small and unu-
sually long; and by some accident, to
his great honor, he owned in his own
right, the title Of Major; in fact he was
called Major Nix, and doubtless looked
as much like an officer, in his own es
timation, as ever did General JACKSON
His walk and his. bow were peculiarly
graceful at all times, but especially
when be was three sheets in The wind
when his motions resembled tall man
of-war ship, with tapering, masts bound
ing over high rolling waves; or to use
a comparison which your " and-lubber"
readers will understand better, he look
ed like a Kentucky Wagon pitching
over a rough road. 1t was indispensi-
BILE 10 Major Nix on such occasions,
that he should not compromt his digni-
ty by appearing drunk; and in attempt
ing to preserve his military gait, he
stepped long and high, and his tall head,
stiff as the mast Of a ship, moved back
ward and forward, and reared and wa
we'd to either side. Many hearty
laugh have | enjoyed with my friends,
at the expense Of Major Nix, and his
peculiar graces were revived i'll nv me-
mory when writing my last communi-
cation | observed that | aimed at
grace and force Of style, but fell far
short. Perhaps my old dry pen, which
has long been lying OIL the shell, was
the cause Of my failure. But to change
the subject, or rather to return to The
subject Of my last number:-It was The
the town Of Pamela, was it not?
Why is it, my dear Lynx, that we
have no societies among us for mutual
improvement? Even the temperance
society, if | mistake not has been drown
ed, or has been spirited away. Last
summer we had moot court AMI social
club, but now we have nothing that
tends to social or intellectual culture. -
We have among Us men of education
sufficient TO form a literary society, Of
some kind; and what kind should it be
A debating Club would do we'll enough
but it would not last, it Ger tainly would
not if the debates were in public. 4
| few exhibitions would calm the ardoI
Of those who are ambitious of display
and would satiale curiosity s. disgust the
diffident. a public Lycium would no
do, as there are too few who would
undergo the necessary labor to interest
the public or do justice 10 themselves =
Yet it occurs to me that literary So
ciety could be formed which would be
interesting and improving to the mem
bers, and might become permanent, to
consist only Of congenial spirits, who
would hold their meetings in private
and discuss such subjects as might be
interesting and improving, to lhemseIvs
! Such society would afford agreeable
recreation from the cares of business
would afford pleasing topics for thought
and conversation, and warm and puri
fly the ambition Of the young. VIVA
say you, my dear Lynx, will you no,
lend helping hand

TENNESSEE ELECTION.

On Thursday last, the great battle
was taught in this gallant State. As
we can neither hear the hoarse clap Of
the thunder, nor see the upward lifting
clouds of smoke, as the contending le-
gions march and countermarch, and
wheel and charge upon each other, of
course we can not predict with any GER
tainty the result But. we have enough
confidence in the gailantry of our wing
brethren TO believe, thai they will not
return from the field, with " despair S
sad monument and the grave Of hope
staring them in the face 1t is true,
that means, however low and unworthy
have been resorted to, on the part of
our opponents TO regain their depart
ed sceptre, but the people Of Tennessee
are too virtuous and enlightened to be
seduced and decoyed off by such means.
The affair Of Christian and Stanton,
may affect the result, but at
the same time, such miserable subtcr-
fuges will be sufficient TO damn the
party IN the eyes of all highminded
and correct thinking men. The APP
peal calls upon IFS partisans to gel up
on their horses, and scour the district,
inasmuch as Stanton, rs it seems to
think, has been shot down, in order 10
prevent him from filling his appoint
ments. Yes, this is the low point in the
abyss of degradation, to which some of
that party ure capable of descending to
accomplish their political ends. Scruggs
is 10 bear all the responsibility Of the
affair, and if he is kepfout of Congress,
the reason will be tracabe to this, as f
he had procured the shooting of Stan,
ton.
The death of General Jackson, the
soul and body of the democratic party,
the charm ofwhose name has kept the hei-
rogeneous masses of that party from fly
ing off to that chaos from which they
sprung, may have had its effect upon
the ballot box. The tongue of eulogy,
and the pen of panegyric,ih ave inscribed
his name in characters OF fire upon the
bright rolls Of fame, to glow immortal,
ard the people looking upon his d0par-
ture as great pandemic, will lie in
sensibIy led into the ranks, at the head
Of which he has SO long stood. Blu
we have every confidence in the wings
Of Tennessee, and if they are defeated
it will not be attributable to supine
ness on their part.
