THE WIG TICKET.


We notice, with unalloyed pleasure,
tho spirit with which the Wing press
thro ughout the State has responded TO
the recommendation Of candidates made
by the Wing meeting at Jackson, on the
9th instant. The ticket thus presented
to the Wings Of Mississippi is composed
Of men of whom every Wing may well
be- proud-of men possessing high order
Of talents-great personal popularity
Of unimpeachable regulations for honesty
and integrity-some Of them Of pro.
found legal learning, and others gifted
with the most rare and brilliant powers
Of eloquence.
Our candidate for Governor, General
PATRICK HENRY, is one OF those no.
BILE sons Of the soil who always command
the respect and admiration o! their fell
low citizens. He is engaged in the bust
ness Of filling the earth in Madison
county. He is frank and atfable in his
manners, and his whole bearing denotes
the heightened, honorable gentleman
He possesses, in an eminent degree, those
rare gifts Of eloquence and persuasion,
which, when combined with righteous
cause, exercise so great an influence over
the minds Of rejecting men: over the
minds Of those who only wish to be con.
rinctd, in order to do right. He is identi-
fed in interest and feeling with the agri-
culture Of our State; he is unobjectiona.
Bile, both personally and politically; he
is sound, TO the very core, on every
question both OF State and Federal poll.
tics-and should, and will receive the
undivided and hearty support Of the
Wings Of Mississippi, and Of all who
are opposed to the abominable doctrine OF
Reputation, no matter whether it tends to
invalidate private contracts, or to dis,
grace the plighted faith Of a sovereign
State.
Judge DANIEL MAYES, Of Minds, is
presented as a candidate for Attorney
General. OF his qualifications for the
office il would be work of supereroga-
ton TO speak. His reputation as juris,
and his profound learning as lawyer,
is not confined within the narrow limits
Of any one State--it is co-exte nsive with
the whole southwest. He should re-.
ceive the SURFACES, not only OF his polti.
cal friends, but of all who desire 10 see
our high judicial Offices filled by men
who will re1ec dignity upon the stations
they occupy, and lustre upon our State
judiciary.
Our candidate for Secretary Of State,
JOHN L. TORREY, Of Claiborne Q, is re.
presented as young gentleman of abili-
Ity and high.Standing, and every way
competent to fill, with credit TO himself
and the State, the Office to which he has
been recommended, as a candidate, by his
political brethren,
Noone was more gratifed at the So
lection Of candidate for Auditor of
Public Accounts, than ourself. Dr.. JOHN
H. WILLIAMS, of Octibbeha, 10 a gen
tleman of great worth, influence and bu
siness habits. As an evidence of the
high estimation in which he is held by
The community in whose midst no resides
we will state that he is at present mem.
Der Of our State Senate, from Octibbeha
and Chickasaw, having been chosen owe =
his democratic competitor by handsome
maiority--although the district is, and
was, strongly democratic-on account of
his personal qualifications and moral
worth. The people of the State would
honor, as we'll as benefit themselves, in
electing such man over the present in
cumhcnt.
For State Treasurer, Gen. JOSEPH p.
