SAFE CONVENTION -"Mtriguing Piliticians-
we smell an intrigue-bane to The party; per-
feet grab-atis-no intriguing, boys-fdir play
no grabbing-,ce smell it-tcor intrigue"
This is the substance of an article in late num-
ber of the Columbus Democrat which has been
copied into several other papers.-The Aberdeen
Advertiser in replying says:-
"Lowndes county has U, S. Senator; mem
ber of Congress; candidate for the Judgeship of
the High Court of Errors and Appeals candid
for circuit Judge; two or mo candidates for
Marshall; one or more candidates for Congress
and it is but short time since she had the Govern
or of the State. Neighbor, do not say anything
about Intriguing politicians for the town of Co
lumbus is only equalled by Jackson for harboring
the most INSCRIPTIONS nest of them in the State"
Verify, the editor of the Columbus Democrat, is
in an admirable location to smell out an intrigue !
We have seen several vague hints of the same
kind, of dire plots, Of schemes TO suprrsede Gov
Brown. &c. IL such exist let them be exposed,
boldly and openly, without mysterious inuendoes,
.u ,picou. declaimers, calculated to engendcr bad
feeling and to render all liable TO the charge of
o;ninp in secret contentious and scrambles for tho
different Offices.
It's curious fact while Lowndes, with or 800
democratic voters, has ha great share in filling
tho different stations, the large and important sec.
ton of the ate embracing in its circuit the counties
of Madison, Leake, Winston, Alfalfa, Choctaw,
Chickasaw, Ponola, Yalobusha, Carroll, Holmes,
and Yazoo casting some six thousand or one-fourth,
of the democritic vote of the State, has not been
called upon (for the lest years. to our know i
edge \ to furnish even candidate for any station
highcr than the subordinate Offices about the capi-
| toI. While the extreme North, tho extreme East,
the extreme South, and Lowndcs county, has been
well remembered, the eGtreme centre has been
entirely overlooked.
Notwithstanding all this. we believe VIC speals

section and another-are to be considered crite
rion in selecting candidates, then tho harmony o.
the party requires that the claims of all sections
should be fairly considered. We hope our abl,
