WHIG CANDIDATE FOR GovERNoR.-
The Wing press Of the State have, with a
few exceptions. expressed their preference
for either Col Isaac n. Davis. of Pamela,
or Col. Thomas Coopwood, of Monroe, as
the candidate ofthe whig party for Cover
nor. Neytt our own talented. noble and
gallant townsman, Gen'l A. B. Bradford,
who could not be indnced by Lis friends to
let his name be used in connection wi
this important office, Col. Davis, is our
choice. We have had the pleasure Of Col
DIS acquaintance for several years, and
know of no whig in Mississippi whose tai
ents have been more constantly employed
In defence Of Wh:g principles. He was
one of our gallant standard bearers last fall
and for his uniiring zeal and ability, 10 de
fence Of that great, iIustrious and patriotic
citizen. HENRY CLAY, deserves the lasting
gratitude ofevery wing in the State. How
ever, if Col Coopwood is the choice of Z
majority Of the whig press ofthe State, a.
i the choice now devolves on them. Eo pres.
in Mississippi will be more jealous and un
