Mr.. TEBo :-Considers dissatisfaction ex-
lists amoug my demoey- .eighbors on account
of the nomination OF rrson Davis as one Of
the Democratic candid es for congress, and no
little blame is altache 10 the delegates from
this county 10 the LAT, convention for the pa
they acted in procu, ng his nomination, with
his famous anii-Br' e Bill letter staring them
in the face. No believe hat ttro thirds
Of the people Of ne county are in favor OF
this important E, and il is 10 be deeply
regretted tha trong opposition TO il has
been mamie quarter where We expect
ed better thing I'd that our delegates have
become access 10 The present confusion in
the democraiicl anks occasioned blythe impru-
dence Of Mr.. M Wis. The wishe Of the people
/ nor their inter sts have been consulted, and il
will te worse lhan folly 10 expect them 70 vote
for d man Sc stiIe to measure in which they
are so deep Interested, and which, ifnot sue.
cessful, vii ause The rtyva! ofinsolvent banks
with ali their attendant evils.
From lie lights before u, We cannot fail 70
recognize u Mr Davis letter (he may no, be
a party himseli) deep laid and well concerted
/ plan of,hc ank democrats and wings Of Yicks-
burg TO destroy the Briscoe Bill and save The
Banks. Before the meeting Of the convention
il was pretty generally conceded that Mr.. Da-
Wis would be nominated in order, there ore, 10
procure his influence and the weight Of his
name against The measure, the mongrel demo-
cratS already alluded TO, addressed annony.
NOUS communication TO him through the col
umns of the Vlcksburg Sentinel, calling upon
him to make known his opinions on the subject.
Had il been addressed 10 any other man, save
Mr.. Davis, il wo uld have received no attention,
coming as il did from erson apparently un-
known, but it is to be presumed that he did
know the writer, for il is unusual for public |
men 10 address their letters to nobody knows
whom. The letter was Immediately seized BY I
,be friends OF the banks az so much capital,
and its author became subject for whig praise
and support, to which he is perfectly welcomes
do not envy him. The Democrats. good easy
souls, say we mustn't refuse to vote for Mr..
DAVIS, because a whig might be elected. Now
am not disposed to vote for whig, but | am
unwilling to support any man for congress il
il must be done on the ruins Of the Briscoe Bill.
Mr.. Davis made the issue, and ] hope he will
be satisfied with the result, which will not be
very fauering to his anticipatons, if the De-
m6crscy in other parts Of the State view his op-
position to the Brscoe Bill in the aspect that
we do.
The Vicksburg Sentinel, Mr.. Davis organ,
which has heretofore been distin gushed for its |
independence, and which was warm and able I
advocate Of this important and popular nea-
sure, now throws cold water upon il BY obser- I
wing silence. IT'S true communication oc-
casonalIy appears in its columns on the sub I
ject, but the editor plays mum. The Southern
Reformer, too, to which we looked for support, T
is as quiet as the tombs. The Mipsissippian,
also, begins 10 lag, and viii, no doubt, soon
follow in the wake Of the Sentinel, and Refor-
mer Though last, not least, the Natchez |
Free Trader is becoming indifferent. These |
signs convince me that an attempt will be made
to prevent the agitation Of the subject by the
Democratic party, lest i should interfere with
the election Of Davis, but as before remarked /
as he has presented the alternative, he ought to |
be satisfied with the result.
Mr.. Davis has the recommendation OF the /
Democratic conventiont and az much conf I
dence as have heretofore reposed in the wis
dom and patriotism of these kind Of caucuses, |
feel it incumbent upon me as an Independent |
voter, to protest against the election Of n indi-
Vidual who is opposed to measure SO well cal |
culated to rid the people of system which has
go long Preyed upon the vitals Of their prosperi
ty and happiness with impunity. Ii has been |
urged that Mr.. Davis election to congress has
no bearing upon This question. In reply to this /
trIHlng excuse, it can be said with truth. that il
does not follow that as a candidate for public |
favor, his opinions cannot have their due weight |
and intiuence-in fact they have had too much
already, TOR our good-they have already crea-
ted suhcIent coafusiOn, and for all that know |
ne may have more OF the same sort in store for
us, and 1t isa duty we owe 10 ourselves and |
our children, to prepare for their reception Le,
US then, Mr.. Editor, exhort the friends Of The
BrIscOe Bill, TO meet in convention for tba nrr.
