True Democrat. (Paulding, Miss.) 1845-18??, 1845-10-08

famous meeting OF the Democracy Of the
10th and 18th Wards of the city of New
York.
The discrimination and patriotic ardor
by which those proceedings are distin-
guished, do honor 10 the meeting, and are
in harmony with the invaluable PRINCIPLES
and past lives of those who composed il,
have read with great satisfaction, and do
not, in the least, doubt that they speak al.
so the sentiments of the Democracy of the
whole city.
Without more particular notice of the
contents of the Resolutions, IN respect 10
all of which my sentiments are we'll under
stood, | will content myself with a single
remark upon one only of the points they
embrace. 1t is well known that the pre-.
liminary steps taken by the late Admins
tration for the annexation of Texas, did
not, underline then existing circumstances,
meet with the appreciation of portions cf
the Democratic party Yet you are, in my
Judgment, quite rig Int III assuming that that
measure has been SO tar consumated under
the sanction of the constituted authorities
OF both Governments, as to render all far
Their agitation 9th question, or obstacles
TO its amicable completion by the citizens
OF either country, unwise and highly inex
pedient. To refrain from such a course
is not only in honorable consistency with
the justice and sincerity of the dissenting
opinions 10 which have alluded, but, I'm
der the circumstances, the performance of
a solemn duty on the part of those who
held them. 1t can scarcely be necessary
TO enlarge upon the extent TO which the
imperative nature of that duty would ba
increased, should our country be involved
in a war with Mexico in consequence Of
the adoption of authorized measures to car.
ry into full and fair effect the compact of
annexation. That no such consequences
may follow is, for many reasons, to be most
earnestly desired. But if the result be
otherwise, cannot permit myselfto doubt
that the Administration will, as it ought,
be supported in the prosecution of such
war by the hearts and hands of the whole
people. / am dear sir, very respect
fully and truly yours.

personal abuse and SANDER he has been heaping
upon US for the past two weeks by giving him
gentecL hrasAing We met him in public
crowd, and charged him with wifully publish

which we did, and after a short parley, he
dubbed his stick, and tod US TO help oursclf,
which we did, by putting some we'll aimed

US away, and stood beside US, until Adams took
a pop at us, at distance of not more than ten
or twelve fscl-the ball passing between our
legs At this, our friend turned us loose-the
pistol being empty-then it was we knew what
we were about. We foored the little Jug
sitting on him, with our thumb in his eye, we
felt perfectly at home, until the young genteeI

Our readers may now rest assured, that mas
much as we have not condescended to quarrel
heretofore through our paper, we will not in

The canvass is progressing finely Hon.
R. w. ROBERTS, JAcoD THOMPSON, and JET
FERsoN DAVIS, addressed the citizens of Jasper
county, at this place. on Friday last The old
veteran, Roberts, led Off and discussed the Ia
riff, Distribution Oregon and Texas questions,
with great ability, and Showed conclusivelv that
distribution and the new post Office law were
only machines to create a great vacuum to be
filled by an increased tariff or taxation, for is
only another name for taxation The old gen.
tleman is in fine health, and sustains himself
well as political debater-his plain and bold
manner OF address takes well with the people.
Hon. Jacob Thompson next arose, which Gre
ated glow of enthusiasm over the whole au-
dience, to see faithful public servant who had
been absent from his constituents of this section
ofthe State fol about six years, and give an &C.
count of his stewardship, and TO receive their
applause--saying as with one voice, swell done
thou good and faithful servant" 1t was truly
a sublime scene, not the less gratifying to him
than to confding constituency. He treated
the same subjects which Col Roberts did, in
mastery style. The Hon. Jefferson Davis ar
rived about the close of Mr. Thompsons re-
marks, and was introduced to the stand He
entertained the audience about Il minutes in a

YARBER'S Oaon STATEMENT.

Below we publish James G, Yarbers Ooca
certificate, written by himself and signed by
himself dnotby WILLIAMP. CHERRY
as was the certificate published in the Clarion
of last Saturday. Such was the haste of Cherry,
Sheriff of Jasper, to accomplish his fendish
purposes, that he signed Mr.. Yarbers name
wrong TO the certificate Mr.. Yarber shews
that he told US to to keep the money and pay
him interest on il, which he says we did, all to
balance, which we paid him in property. He
further exhoneratcs US from the foul imputaton
Of attempting to swindle him. We regret much
that it was not in our power TO pay him all in
cash-but in conclusion he says, that we would
have done so, lift had been in our power Our
conduct in this whole matter is such, that we
feel a conscious innocence in regard to it, and if
the public knew it, as i! occurred, they would
justify u.s. Six or seven years has elapsed since
the transaction occurred, and not one word of
complaint have we ever heard from any quar-
ter, until this effort to break us down.
OLIVER G. DEAsE.
Dear Sir: The first money that you col
lected on your return home you paid me some
money, and told you you could use the BAL
onsc by paying interest, for which you did and
concerning the last note Colonel Dease appears
positive that told him to 60 to my mother for
which have no recollection Of recollect
telling him thought it likely that | should 60
to my uncle's, and if did, / could collect it my
self-this conversation might have occurred on
some other time But as to the last note, do
not wish the public TO understand that he never
paid it He says he paid me fifty dollars which
was not credited on the last note, which made
him Deasc recolect on one Of our settlements,
Of which have no recollection at this time
The balance 'cas paid in property do not
wish the public TO believe Dease. intended TO
swinde mel believe If he had had the means
he would have paid the money when we settled
finally, instead Of property.

Col DeaSe:
Your note of this morning asking of us a
statement ofwhat we know, concerning JUDGE
MoUNGER's threat to cut off Sim Adams ears,
is before us. In reply we can only say, that
some time previous to the November Election
of ls4l, Judge Mounger was complaining of
what Adams had said against him, and remark.
