NJ. Btopgher entertain IN pursuing tho course
he has, willis, for months he has boon engaged
in connecting schemes TO give some color ofcx
cusc Tor his conduct
Mr.. Brougher states in his brief address that
"thcre is very large and respectable portion Of
the democratic party who were opposed to the
conyen,on, and always have been opposed TO
eonyen,ioos of,his sort" In this we think Mr..
Brougber departs widely from fact in order to
dnd some apology to palliatc bis course. Who
heard murmur Of discomfort until after the
convention had been held, and from whom then
did that murmur proceed From few factious
demagogues who had failed to make the con.
yen,ion foois,oo by which they might attain
office their own merits or qualifications could
never exau them to. And not grunt of dissat.
sfaclion was heard from these men until after
the convention had been holden and they had
found it had dsregarded their pertinacous suit
for office. They did not object to the conven.
ion while it was being constructed; but INDUCED
IN the hope that their lnlrigues nigh. succeed
in making it ladder for their own promotion.
Their schemes miscarred, and forthwith the
kennel opened in full cry on the convention and
Is action. But every true democrat is happy
n the convention that then winnings will be
|rowned by the voice of the people at the polls;
nd that ere long.
MIR. Brougher need be under no uneasiness.-
We will place before the people of Tippah
ONE account of HE votes in tho Legislature
Wills, he was their Senator, and they wiA vote
and with freedom"
In doing so, will they vote for Mr.. Brougher,
We "trow not"
There is another matter, somewhat of pers,
,onal character, about which we have few
words to say. An editorial appeared il the
advertiser" two or three weeks since, in re.
alton to the independent candidate for the low.
er branch of the legislature, MIR. Tarpley, in
which we intmated that he had participated in
lhe-county convention. On our return from
De Soto, we were informed that Mr.. Tarpley
N his speech at Salem took occasion to deny
his and revile the "Adver,iser" in no very
haste or choice terms. The next day howev.
n, we understand, he retracted at Spring Hill
all he had said against the advertiser" at Sa.
lem. alledgipg that he did not know, at the
time he denounced it, who the Editor was, and
that he was sat fed we would not do him an
intentional wrong. He has since in private
conversation apologised for the use Of the often.
sive terms. When we wrote that article i,
was strongly impressed on our mind that Mr.
Tarpley was delegate from the Spring Hill
beat, and he was present on the day of the Con
vention's session. We find however, on ref
erence to our files, that our impression was er
roneous; tho on conversation with some othe
democrats in this place we find that they ais
had supposed Mr.. Tarpley was in attendanc
as delegate. We make this statement in Jus
tice to ourself;-Mr. Tarpey's charges havn
been publicly preferred, we think his retrar
should be made equally public. We have
good deal to say of this gentleman shortly.
