The VVhig Party Ia RIissLssippI


There is not nobler band Of true hearts
on the face Of the earth than the Wing party
in Mississippi They have galIantly With
stood more temptation and borne up against
a 6ercer and more deadly opposition than
any other portion Of the Wing party in the
Union. And this they have done without
one word Of encouragement or praise from
their brethren IN other states and under the
general and indiscriminate stigma of Repu.
diation, Of which they are as gulltless as the
angels in Heayen--in tie face of the most
lnsldlous appeals to their pecuniary inter-
ests, in times Of the greatest pecuniary en-
barrassment, and under trials as severe as
any to which their siFes were subjected 10
the darkest days Of the Revolution.
In every test, every ordeal, .hey have but
cast off little dfoss, while that which re-
NAMED was but The pure gold. Though,
by all odds, the heaviest tax payers. never
have they listened for an instant to the syreR
song of Reputation Of Public Debt: though,
by large amount, owing the heaviest debt,
never have they sustained the nefatious
schemes invented BY locofocos to Repudiate
Private Debt. Every stay law, every law
in aid Of debtors at the expense Of creditors,
every scheme for assisting debtors to cover
up their property, every and all kinds 81
political or Legislative knavery, has the
J Wing party in Mississippi strenuously OPP
posed, to the last gasp, in the face Of every
temptation.
These are things for the Wings of Mis-
sissippi to be proud of-for their posterit
j to point to with pride, after they, themselves
are laid ia their graves. It is picture Q
} the moral sublime unsurpassed in any ag
} or any country.-Who then, Of SO noble
