Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-10-15

JOS. BARKSDALE.
&C. Capt. J. A. BINFoRD and Judge B. F.
CARUTHERs are announced in the last Wing
Creed as the wing candidates for County
Representatives. We consider the nomi-
nation Of these gentlemen as a tacit admis-
sion that whiggery is in a minority in this
county. To be sure both ofsthem are wings
for all useful purposes-that is to say, they
always act and vote with the wings. But
both qualify their whiggery, so to speak,
and it is for this reason that they have been
persuaded to become candidates. Capt.
Binlord is State Rights Whig-of the par
~ once called NutiJfers"-a party form
ed for but one purpose, as it were, and that
purpose opposition to the Protective Tariff
system. Ii we do not misunderstood the
Captains position, land we would not will
fully represent him. he is still opposed to
a high protective tariff, processes to be a
hard money man, and is theoretically de-
mocratic on several other points. But from
some unaccountable cause, inexplcable to
us, HE ALWAYS ACTS AND VOTES, AND IS
FULLY IDENTIFIED WITH THE WING PARTY.
We spoke some time since of certai n mon
in our ranks who are g with US but not of
:" Capt. B. ION many points, is Of US,
but never Nth us. Upon what pretext
any democrat can vote for Capt Binford, in
preference TO our democratic candidates,
who have been ALWAYS WITH US, is be-
You'd our conception, and past our COM
prehenson. And the result will show that
himself and friends, in calculating upon
democratic votes, are " reckoning without
their host
We do not know that Judge CARUTHERs
calculates upon democratic votes, but he
has never been considered rabid wing.
In his CofeevilIe letter OF 1913, he qualf-
ed his political soubriquet by calling him
self Republican Wing; and now, we be-
lieve, he goes the whole figure in the-use
of contradictory terms, and styles himself
Democratic Wing But whatever name
he may adopt, he has always been. like his
colleague, true TO his party--for Bank
Tariff, &c. against Teras, in short, whig
all over, the entire coon-waen voting o.
action was to be done. AS such, he has NJ
right to expect democratic votes.
Let our democratic friends be up and do
ing, and let each man act as if the result
depended on his individual exertions. Gu
candidates are good men and true demo
crats-in no wise inferior to their very wor
thy opponents, in any respect. The poll
l:tcal issue fairly made, success IS certain
And the democrat who now deserts hi
party, or suffers himself to be wheedled in
to the support of wings on trivial pretexts
is unworthy the name, and the good caus
he processes to advocate. We have n
fears that there be any such.

THE GAME OF BRAG.-It is the F" generi
impression, commonly asserted, AWAY
believed, and so far as we know neve
contradicted," that the great embodimen
of modern whiggery, that same old Harr
coon, is, or in past times was, remarkabl
fond of the game of brag. All wings hav
native proclivity,' as our neighbor say
to brag-especially on the eve of an elet
ton. This game is one Of the great prlr
ciples,' leading tenet of whggery, an
no man can be good whig' until he hi
learnt 10 brag high on a pending election

cess into decided victory. True to III
su,inciple,' our wing friends are nov boas
ing of certain success in this county, an
will do so until the votes are counted on
Democrats are so accustomed TO this gam'
that it is entirely unnecessary to cautio
,hem against being frightened from the
propriety,' or cheated Out o. their vote
by wing Dragging. To boast OF cef'al
success, before the elections = ABOUT
