The Democratic party ever votes for democrat,

democrats do more! We hope, therefore that
our democratic friends ever where will select
good and popular candidates, and that when

DIVISIONS IN THE DEMOCRATIC RANKS In
many Of the counties the success of the demo.
cratic cause is endangered by divisions in he !.
democratic ranke. We have before US letter
from a democrat, who has traversed large por
ton ofthe Sta;e,from it we make the following
extract:
al find much division among the democrats
east OF Pearl river. They are divided in every
ccuniy-having many aspirants for the egisla.
lure. In Neshoba county, there are three dem
ocrats and one wing running OF course, If our
friends do not unite, the wing will be elected.
In Newton county, there are three democrats
amp too wings running. In Scott two demo
erats''are running-no wing as yet. In Kemper,
Clarke and Jasper, our friends are
much divided. and we may have a wing from
each Of those counties In Anala, you are

The danger Of divisions, and urge them to CON-

themselves to vote the will of,he countess for !
United States Senator. They say nothing a :
