"Freo Trader" II seems that the friends at
Vicksburg Of u certain Senatorial aspirant,
(lo.wit, DR.. Gwin,) are actively engaged
in intrigucs having for their end iho pros
tration Of Jefferson Davis, aud The getting
upof new convention. This small squad,
it is said, persuaded out and encourage the
independent candidate in that section of

THE WHIG CONVENTION. Up

for Congress, Mr.. Chiffon, of Vicksburg,
pronounced one Of the most bitter philipics
against him that il is possible TO conceive
'of, dsparaging him in every possible man.

and what was most strange, no one among
the delegates offered TO defend the gallant
Colonel, who has fought so many battles,

c., admitted, we learn that the attack was
just. Well may Col. B. exclaim save me

up 10 row without requesting tho pro-

"Every democratic paper in. with one
exception and all out of our State, have
pronounced the same opinion with our
solves, on the late letter Of Mr.. Walker.
: We insert, occasionally. some of the re-
marks Of contemporaries concerning it.'
Southern Reformcr.
This is about as near the truth, perhaps,
as il should ever be expected for the Re-
former to come. How near this is, may
be inferred from the fact that the Missis-
sippi Democrat, fernando Phenix, Ripley
Advertiser, Brandon Dsseminator, Dollar
Democrat, True Democrat, and Oxford
Organizer, with the Sentinel--eight demo-
cratic papers of our State, have all ex-
pressed themselves totally unsatislied with
Mr.. Walkers explanation Of the lost conf
mission business, and are, therefore, at d.
rect issue with the Reformer on this sub.
ect. II we had the same puerile vanity
the Reformer evinces for paradlng, in our
paper, every puff from cotemporary, we
could ill our paper with articles giving the
same views Of Mr.. Wolkcr's course with
US, and endorsing and approving our re-
marks concerning him.
The Bayou Sara Ledger, loo, one Of
the most able democratic papers in Louis
lana, has also, now that we have given SO
many Of the facts Of this business, hereto
fore concealed, come to the same conclu-
sions with u.s. and bitterly denounced Mr..
Walkers conduct.
The public will form their own opinions
Of the veraciiy Of the editor who, in the
face, and with the knowledge of all this,
would use the language above. Sent.
