GENERAL JACKSON. 1T seems that the

in greater dudgeon than we supposed the
offer Of Com. Elliott TO put him In old So.

the Hermitage and conyersed with the Gle.

MADISON CoUNTY.-We have neglected
until the present number to place at the
head of our columns the anti-bank Madison
county democratic ticket for the Legisla-
ture. They are gentlemen well worthy
the station for which they have been nomi.
nated-and have commenced canvassing
the county with zeal and energy-and we
have been informed with fair prospect of
success. The freenlen of that county we
have every reason to believe in the coming
election for State officers, are determined
their votes shall be cast, entirely with ref.
erence to the important questions Of STATE
POLICY.

South WESTERN CONVENTIONAL
great South Western Convention is to he
held at Memphis Tennessee, on the 18th
of November next, to consider and adopt
measures to promote the peculiar interest
Of that portion of the Union, known as the
Mississippi Valley. 1t is contended by
those presses who are most efficient in ad-
vocating the exPediency of the proposed
convention, that our national legislature
have neglectedthe rights of the west, while
it has nurtured the interests of the east
composing the Atlantic States-and that a
change Of policy should be demanded.

HOLMES CoUNTY.-We have every rea'
son to believe that the sterling and unwa-
vering democracy of Holmes county in
tend to make decisive and vigorous effort
in the coming election. They have AOmi-
mated ticket for the Legislature, worthy
the suffrages of the people, and union, har-
mony and action we believe will ensure
its triumph. Let them engrave upon their
banner the principles of STATE POLICY for
which they contend-the passage Of "the
great ANTI-BANK measure" the original
Briscoe Bill-and an amendment to the
forever hereafter prohibiting
The chartering of banks, and the PEOPLE
without respect of party, will rally to itsres-
cue.

that one of them was present when il oc-

they were advised so to act, but for reasons

In THE F1ELD.-We have seen it stated
that Gen. Quitman, one of the candidates
for senatorial honors. has began to address
the people. There is nothing objectiona.
BILE in this course-every one who aspires
to Office no matter how exalted, should min
gle when necessary with the people, and
declare the measures Of public policy he
wilfendeavor to promote if elected. When
a candidate declares it " undignifed" to APP
pear before the people, they should teach
him that they are the source Of power, and
that he is unworthy of their sufrages.
