The Yazoo Democrat., 1845-11-12

THE RESULT IN YAzoo.-The democ-
racy in this county have achieved signal
triumph. The most sanguine could not
have anticipated victory more complete
lis true we have much to regret in the re-
suit of the senatorial canvass for Yazoo and
Madisor--yet, when it is remembered the
wings have heavy majority in the district
that they rallied with all their mightto the
support of their candidate--that the meas
ure which Judge Battaile boldly and regard
less of consequences made the main issue
in the contest, was misre9resented and its
intentions enormously stated SO as to i'm
pose upon the honest credulity of the un-
suspeuting-when he had such heavy odds
to contend against, and still greatly reduced
the whig vote, there is much which affords
encouragement for the future, and nothing
at which to deSpond.
It is true Judge Battaile has been defeat
ed by the heavy vote Of the opposite party
which was arrayed against him, yet he
made fearful inroads upon its strength. He
deserves, and doubtless receives the thanks
of the entire democratic party. During the
canvass he gallantly and ably defended the
cause of right and justice, and attracted the
admiration of his fellow citizens in other
sections Of the State, besides his own.--
And we here venture to assert without say
ing anything disparaging to the exertions OF
others, that he has done more to shed light
upon the subject of the Briscoe Bill, and
expound the principles which it embraces,
than any other man in the State.

THE PREss.-"In America the press
when united is omnipotent." Such is the
language ofan elegant and learned British
historian in reference to the immense pow
er and influence the American press is ca.
pable Of welding. Although the express
sion is somewhat over-wrought, yet its past
history in our country proves that it cor.
rectly conveys some idea Of its potent sway
over the popular mind and the destinies Of
of the nation. DO the conductors Of pub
lie journals properly appreciate, and act
strictly with reference to this important
fact Are they fully aware, although
many of the papers which they control DO
not circulate beyond the limits of their i'm
mediate vicinity, yet they constitute parts
of that mighty whole which is regarded in
other nations as an engine of power real.
" "omnipotent ~ Do they remember that
taken in body they constitute in great
degree the standard by which is measured
the virtue, honor and intelligence of the
American people, the mirror which proper.
| ly reflects their sentiments and opinions 7
Besides these great incentives to correct
tone Of dignity and morality which the
newspaper press should breathe, in local
point of view, they occupy a Critical and
important position, being generally regard.
ed as the exponent of the doctrines fpecu.
liar sects, parties or denominations. These
then should form weighty motives for them
to assume an exalted and elevated position,
ascending above the degraded level of mere
partizan organs, the dwelling echoes Of
ambitious and designing demagogues. In
stead of setting an example SO destructive
of Justice, and the public good they should
advocate with becoming CANDoR AND FAIR.
NESS the PRINCIPLES to which they are de-.
voted, aud instead of being an ignis fatuus
to mislead and misdirect the public mind,
they should prove lights by which men and
measures can be correctly scaned by the
public eye. It is true that the LIBERTY oF
TIE PRESS is an admirable feature in our
government, and forms pillar in our ma.
donal structure which adds much to its
strength and its beauty, privilege which
eonduces to the glory Of the American
name, but what can it avail if il is fettered
by the chains Of party, Pent up by narrow
limits, deprived Of its spirit Of Independence
The Yazoo Democrat., 1845-11-12

"SLAvEs-AMENDMENT."-W haveno
doubt but that a large majority Of the voters
of Mississippi (ntering from the returns al
ready received) lave decided in favor Of
the proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton, in relation to the introduction of slaves
into this State. 1t is we'll known that as
the Constitution now stands the introduce
ton of Slaves has been prohibited since Il c
year 1888 as merchandise, and that this
section of the Constitution is proposed to be
amended by the substitution of the follow
ing
"SEc. 2. The Legislature shall have,
and are hereby vested with power to pass
such laws regulating or prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of slaves into this state as may
be deemed proper and e4pedient."

THE WING TICKEr.-From all ac-
count Capt. P. B. Stake of Lowndcs is
running somewhat head ofhis ticket. His
courtesy towards his opponents during the
'anvass, his dignifed bearing, and gentle
manly manners have won for him "troops
Of friends" even in the democratic ranks.

"TExAs MAY BE PUT OUT AGAIN !"-
\ Convention of Wings recently Assem-.
bled at Worcester, Massachusetts among
Jther things, resolved--that inasmuch as
there is no binding force of the late meas
lre of annexation that, as Texas by the
action of Congress has been put into the
Union in violation of the Constitution, and
to secure it from the consequences of this
violation, TEXAS NAY BE PUT OUT

use in reference to a measure which so
greatly adds to the glory of their country,

And kiss the hand that beats him

Must toe the mark that others chalk,
And cringe to all that meet him.

Too much morality you have
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch or wizard tales,
With slip-shod ghosts, with fins and scales

To Tzadore, of P

There's beauty in the evening sky,
As the last tnts of daylight flee;
Then fancy radient mounts on high,
To wean her thoughts of poetry.
There's beauty in the summer flowers
And in the Autumn's mellow shades,
When crimson sunset gilds the hours,
And throws sad glory DER the glades.
There's beauty in the mornings glow,
Tinging, with roseate hues, the sea;
But, oh , such beauty earth ne'er knew
As lives, sweet lzadore, in thee.
Thy form, thine eyes, the silver ring
OF thy sweet voice upon my ear,
Thy auburn curls, which thou dost fling,
In glit'ring waves upon the air
They came before me like dream
or lovlines., uncalthly far;
And as watch the hazel beam
OF those dark orbs, now smiling there,
A wish that thou might'st ever be
The brilliant picture now thou art,
Is floating up to Heaven for thee,
To guard from flight thy merry heart.
