In the lss, Holly Springs Guard card over 'b'

iuie Of fairness. and go iosidious and unjust u
,s attack upon our esteemed fellow citizen
jobo w. 1bompson Esq who is sbseo, attend
ing 10 the duties Of his Office, that We feel II on
duty to expose u.
Mr. Boten complains that Mr.. Thomp'co has
procured his name to be printed on the tickets
OF both political parties. We do not know how
far this is irue-bu, OF one thing we are surc,--
Mr. Thompson has never appealed TO lei her
party for support on party grounds. lie rests
his pretenious for election entirely on the score
Of qualification, and appeals to the able aud i'm.
partial manner in which he has discharged the
duties Of the Office so far, as evidence OF his fl.
ness. Can MI Boren say as mucl Dues he
desire Mr.. Thompson TO run as the candidate of
one party, and let HIM run with both parties,--
That would be modest indeed. Now we see
no objections whatever to having the name of
any candidate who is running for an office, not
political, printed on the tickets of both parties.
II is constantly done, and no objections made to
it from any quarter The people know.who are
party candidates, and who are no,-and the
printing name on a ticket for an office which
is no. political, could not be considered BY any
man ofsense, as any evidence of a mans poli.

As 10 the TIshamingo tickets spoken of BY Mr..
loren, they were printed at this office and our
ubisher informs US that Mr.. Thompsons name
vas printed on them without any orders from
lr' Thompson, or any person acting in bis no.
alt. They were special tickets ordered bv
andldates for other offices and Mr.. Thompson.s
anne was printed on them, we sopposc, with
he expect alton that it would add strength to
hem-as 1t is well known that he (Mr. T.) will
Jet some nine ten,hs of all the votes boiled in
hat section of country.
