below and recommend II to the consider
alton ofthe Democracy of Yazoo. Oursi,
ter counties have nearly all appointed dol
egates to the Democratic Convention. and
do the Democratic party Of YazOo intend,o
be less active and efficient than theyl Ara
theywilling to be unrepresented on tina, m..
portant occasionl Let them awake from
their lethargy, appoint day for assemblino
and select delegates who will be faithful
their interest.
Mr.. Editor.--Meetings have been held in,
almost all the counties in the State, for the
purpose ofappointng delegates to the Dem.
ocratic convention to be held in Jackson on
the first Monday in July next. Yazoo, is
one of the counties which have not Der.
formed this important duty. No call has
yet been made for this purpose, although
the time for holding the State convention IS
near at hand. The importance Of a fIR
representation in the proposed convention
that the voice ofthe party in every part Of
the State may be heard, is evident to all.--
Our candidates for office at the November
election will look to every county in the
State for support, and it is necessary that
every democratic voter should have voice
in saying who those candidates should be.
The result of our efforts last November
leaves no doubt as to what the democrats
of Yazoos viii do on all similar occasions.
Whcnthe triumph Of those great fundamcn-
tai principles upon which is based the cor
ner stone Of all purely republican instiu.
tons, depends in any measure upon The
zeal of the Democracy Of our country, we
viii not fail to be indohtigable in our eff.
forts. 10 this we have solemnly pledged
ourselves, and that our plege may as sa.
credly be kcpt-.hat there may be found a.
nong usno lukcwarmaess, ncitherany dis
regard for the success of the principles, III
our representatives, it is highly important
hat we be heard in the selection Of those
who will look to us for our sufiages, who
are to be the guardians and representatives
't onr principles. Then why any further
lelay in calling a meeting Tor the above
purpose. Postponemont is an evil genius.
A DEMOCRAT.
