True Democrat. (Paulding, Miss.) 1845-18??, 1845-08-06
From III. Central Journal.

! MADE upon JoV MINutIj Oy JOufudlS pre-
tending to call themselves democratic. He
is charged with inconsistency upon the
Texas question, and of having expressed
some dissatisfaction upon the reception OIL
Mr.. Folks nomination forthe Presidency,
and also of having committed the unpar-
donabe sin of having said some hard
things Off j. Walker, and for those things
he is arraigned at the bar of public opin-
ion lat least so far as the democratic party
is concerned and attempts are making to
ostracise him, to place him without the
pale of the party of which he has for years
deservedly stood at the head. We are
gratifed to know that all such attempts to
PIT down such man as M'Nutt are fu-
tile and will prove abortive, SO far as the
people are concerned. The people at once
see and know that the charges if even true
are so much upon the ilipputian order
and are so pusillanimous in their character
that they should not in the least affect any
man. We would ask the question and de-
sire on answer ofsone ofthose gentlemen
who have been getting up the charges or
attempting to sustain them by writing let
tiers, that even il they are true, do they in
any degree disqualify M'Nutt for Senator
of the United States? He now comes out
in an address. TO the people of the State
and expressly declares himseIfto be ia IA
vor of Texas in every shape and form
says he supported Polk and Dallas as
warmly as any man in the State and is
now IN favor of the administration. Now
admit for moment that the charges are
true and that M'Nuit has changed; does it
place him in a worse condition than either
of his opponents Generals Quitman and
Foote! Certainly not. McNult las al
ways acted with the democratic party on
every great and trying occasion, lie stood
by Gen. Jacksonfin the apparently gloom.
lest moment ofhis cveutfl administration,
never ialiered-whcn upon the great ques-
ton of the re-charter of The United States
Bank the names of some of those supposed
70 be the frmest, trembled and gave way.

ing occasion2 Acting as we have under
stood with the wing party. Where was
Gen. Foote in those times? We well re-
collect to have heard that about some of
these times gentleman in the county Of
Kinds was elected TO represent that county
(it was perhaps DR.. ID. O. WilliamS) as 4
wing, a short time after his election he
came convinced that he was wrong on the
bank question and in the legislature come
out in speech against the bank and the
wing party as every magnanimous'man
should do when he finds he is in error.
The wings. who had elected him became
perfectly furious and asked him 10 resign. |
lie did so and again came ont as a candi- |
date against the bank and on the demo-
cratic side. Now who did the wings bring |
cut against Williams and beat him three /
Or four hundred votes in the county upon /,
his very question ofaUniied States Bank? 4
Il was no less a parsonage than Gen. II. /
Stuart Foote Here now was great queS- /
ion, md at that very time there was a por-
entious cloud hanging over The democrat
C party fears were entertained that the 4
party would be overshadowed, and finally
crushed ard with il oil hope Of republican
SIN and American liberty. II was n time
hat none but the true democrat stood up
II this time and on this occasion Gen. IT.
Stuart Foote faliered, his stout heart quail
d and he left the democratic party and
lid absolutely act with the wing party.
Who does not fecollect of bis famous act
n breaking up democratic meeting at
Jackson when Runnels md Fox were pre-.
iding and himself taking the chair and
thereafter holding a whig
