1t would be recreant on our part to refuse
to give them that support which their no.

richly merits. Many worthy and homes;
democrats. scorning party dictotlon, will
vote for our Congressional and State ticket,
and we do assure our friends that The chan

is failering indeed. Our worthy candi-

different portions of the State, and ifhe has
been received elsewhere as in our county,
his success is almost certain. We know
many who will vote for Judge Mayes in

cannot see how any voter can willingly cas-,

SlR:-Psrmit me through the col
umns of your valuable paper to commu-
nicate to my fellow citizens of the county
OF Marshall the fact that | am no longer a
candidate for the Sheriffalty of said County.
When my name was announced as a can
didate for said office, it was my determine.
tion to keep it before my fellow citizens un-
til their decision upon my claims was an.
noonced through the ballot box at the ap
preaching November Election. l hoped
at that time TO mingle with and cultivate
general acquaintance with The citizens of
the County. Shortly after The canvass
commenced, however, il was my misfortune
to be attacked by disease, and such has
been the feebleness of my health, that have
not been able to do so to the extent desired.
| had also hoped that party politics would
not have been suffered to influence the e.
lection, but that the respective claims of the
several candidates for this office would
have been measured alone by the test of
merit and qualification. La this too | fear
have been mistaken. The candidate for
office who happens TO belong to the domi-
nant party having every thing to gain and
nothing to lose. is too apt TO seek to secure
his elevation to Office upon party grounds

Mr.. FALCoNER:-IIaviDg heard that

col course, and as | have been ultimate with
him and bis views for ten years, feel il
due to him to correct any wrong impress
sion that is urged against him in relation to
81 id political course. His views on the
Tariff have been, as they are at present
since | first knew him-opposed to high
protection. He was, when | first knew
him, warm supporter of Jackson's admin
istration; and decidedly for Van Buren,
in 1886, and the State Bank deposite sys-
tenn up to the failure of the same. He tken
declared against all banks and advocated
metallic currency. assuming that The State
banks had proved inadequate 10 give a uni
form currency And though opposed to
banks, he, after the failure of the State banks,
gave his preference for National Bank o.
yer the State banks. that beiag he absor rbing
question at the time, and supported Harri-
sou and Tyler under that view of the sub
ject, and after that time, when the question
became bank or no bank, you find him
consistently with his former views-op-
posed to banks, showing by every political
step, that he makes decided bearing for
| principle, without that rigid adherence to
name party by which we are TOO often
misguided.
1t is also urged unjustly against Malonc

party. am fully authorised in saying
such is no. the case. He sought private lN
the use of my name TO present to that con
venton, to extficate himself from proba

that he disagreed with the whig party OF
the bond question; and he submitted my
name to that convention, urging my nomi
nation-that oeing the private understand
ing between myself and him previous f,
the convention. Malone did not desire tn,
nomination, neilher do | believe, under The
circumstances, he would have accepted it.

cial districts of the Siase."-and to know
the views of the candidates, "that the peo-
pie may vote understandingly.'
You will agree with me, that there would
be gross impropriety in candidate for Ju'

place upon any statute. or as to the deci
sion he would make upon any question of

In reply TO the article in the Guard OF
Thursday in relation to the Gazette and
Mr. McCarroll, we have to say that the
Guard man knows well enough that Mr..
Eppes is The only man that Gov. Brown
could remove. Mr. McCarroll is only
Deputy Tax collector and is responsible to
Mr.. Eppes for the faithful discharge Of his
duties as such. We have never yet heard
of Mr.. Eppes' having complained Of Mr.
McCarrolrs neglect of duty, nor do We
believe Capt. EpPes aas any grounds OF
complaint. |: is true that the business OF
every tax collector in Mississippi must be
more or less "jumbIed up" to use the clas-
sic pnrase of rhe Guard: but that is owing
altogether to the despisabe revenue laws CT
cur State for il must be a matter OF utter
impos>ibility that the collector can have his
balances properly made, when an &C count
is made out and sent TO Jackson against him,
/ frequently charging him, in said account
+ for Taxes on lands not subject to taxation
Oh others that the valuation has been
reduced by the Board of Police and OF
/ Pedler'r, Hawkers, and other licenses which
! have been collected by others. From th'
difficulty of the revenue laws. we know
is almost impossible for collector 10 make
a correct statement of his business, bu
this much we do know. that Mr.. McCar
roll can show where, how and when, b.
has paid iuto the public treasury ever.
dollar that has been collected by him a
Tax Collector. 1t is not presumabie I
think that a man who has collected an
paid over upwards ofJifty Joar ho~san
dollars of the public moneys of the county
one who has honestly given up large es
tate to pay security debts. and who ha
ever borne the most unimpeachabe char
acter as a citizen, should, for the YiHtr
sum of a few hundred dollars, destroy tina
