Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-02-12

on one DAY! UT II posslDle, Is II al all pro-
bable,tha one foruth of them would do so?
But in the Beat Meetings euery democrat
may meet, and it is almost certain that four
fifIhs Of them ,piu meet, and interchange
their views, predictions, &c. Now we
all know that if Beat Meetings are held,
and delegates instructed and appointed to
the County Convention, those delegates
will feel the responsibility of their duties,
and will speak out and bring forward their
preferences; whereas if the delegates are
not sent from the various beats, but all left
10 Mass Convention, one fourth part of
the people will not be represented, as all
will be managed by little clique of the
most selfesteeming, forward and officious
,could-6e politicians, who are always TO be
found at the county seat. | wish it to be
fully understood that sincerely admire
and duly appreciate the talents, wisdom
and tact of many of our town politicians,
but do say that the bone and sinew of
the country, the honest, unwavering ard
intelligent farmers should and MUST have
a hand in our nominations and voice in
our councils. "A Democrat" says "that
such q thing as political representation
should never exist, except where there is a
clear necessity for it." This caps the cli-
max of your correspondents ideas OF pol
tics! No political representation! why
we might search the county from Lewis
Creek 10 the Yazoo, from Abatuponbogue
TO Furnegusha, and not find true demo-
Graf who would make such an assertion.
Hays Creek is an unfortunate location for
man with such sentiments; no democrat
there with such views, know. But he
intimates that if there was a clear neces-
sity for it, it might be tolerated, but he says
"no such necessity exists" Our county
but disenthralled last November, from the
trammels of whigery by small majority
and the "sy old coons" using every exer.
ton to gain the ascendancy they so lately
lost, and yet says "a Democrat" "there
is no necessity for political representa-
ton" "Ah, believe me, my dear country
democrats there is no fear of the wings
making any effort, and if they do, ne will
manage every thing in most satisfactory
manner in our t0Un meeting, which will
keep all safe" lam compelled to be thus
pointed in regard to your correspondent,
for who could withhold when they see him
openly asserting ''that not only the policy,
but even the justice of nominating candi.
dates for mere county officers is exceed
ingly questionable" There's the rub,
these county offices were pinching his
nerves aft the time. Alas that a county
office should be such a bed of thorns to
your correspondent, that after making
such plunging and regeneration he was
obliged 10 let the scat out OF the bag
at last! Leaving sight Of his Indifference
and diSintereStedneSS about county Offices,
think seriously that it is both just and po-
liic TO nominate responsible and honora-
bic men 10 fill them. AS remarked in an
other column of your spirited paper, every
county with wing majority has its offices
supplied with none but wings, and the
democratic counties are but too apathetic
IN regard to them. We are not aware OIL
the powerful party influence exercised on
the county, by wing holding response
bic county office. I do hope, therefore
that every beat in the county will have q
meeting, consider the merits Of the vari
GUS candidates, and concentrate their whole
support to the most eligible, the most pop
uLdr and the most deserving. also trus
that there will be nothing but mutual for
bearance and unanimity, so thatall self.in
telests and predictions will be thrown
aside, if necessary, for the good of thu
cause. / am certain | but give uttcranct
