Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1846-12-02

II ne,
I have beSHfS S,1ed to adopt John Young
as their candidate Tor Governor, and they
carried him into the chair--lhey put Mr..
Gardiner on their ticket as a candidate for
LIT. Governor, and he is elected.
But the anti rent vote for Young would
BY no means have been so strong as il is,
had il not been for the extraordinary ac-
tivi,y OF the wing emissaries who were
charged with expanding the enormous
sums collected from the manufacturers in
different parts of the Union, and concen-
trnted upon the Stale of New York.
| Their munitions of war were transported
| hither 10 make the attack upon this strong
h Id Of Democracy. The battle has been
fought within the anli.rent entertainments,
but it has been ught with the guns of tho
protectionists, served by proteclionist en-.
gineers. No sort Of exerlion was omitted
TO excite the preiudces of all in whose
minds leyen OF ant rent prejudice exist
cd against Governor Wright as their cue
my, and every effort was made 10 bring
them to the polls with votes for Young IN
their hands. The whig organization APP
pears 10 have been remarkably perfect,
and 10 have embraced the nnli-rent party
ia its very comprehensive arrangements.
II our State politics had been put in
such train that we could have met this
anli-rent question in The country with one
OF higher and more general importance
If with The contest which We have been
raging with the protecIonists, our own
politicians had taken such decided ground
that the free trade queslon--lho question
whether the farmer should be allowed the
market Of The world for his produce, in
stead OF confined market al home, and
low prices--could have been as II deserv-
ed to be, the topic most in sight and most
discussed, the vote for the democratic can
didate would have been far greater. The
farmer would have seen how the essential
interests OF their own great class were in
volved 10 this election, and would have
lhronged TO the polls 10 vote for Wright.
As the case now stands, we have lost the
State on an issue which is false one as
between The two great political parties.
| That in some of the counties men who
call themselves democrats, either treache-
rousIy stood aoof or aided the enemy,
there can be no sort Of dubt. We should
not wonder at all il some Of these men
had an understanding with the projections
lists, and had given their quiet but eliectu-
al aid to the wing candidate. 1t is not
easy to explain the falling oil in some oil
the strong democratic counties, where the
anti.rent question was not raised, on any
other suppositiou. The result ia these
counties cannot be ascribed TO any un-
popularity Of Mr.. Wright. We scarcely
ever knew candidate so tenderly han
/ died by his opponents. lie has been beat
en- without a word said against him by his
worst enemies--beaten IN spite OF the
high general respect and admiration with
) which the people regard him.
| We shall soon know whether the major.
, ity which we might have given Mr.. Wright
4 in this CITY if The people had not been TO-
! PEELED from voting by our bad city nomi
, nations, would have elected him in spite
4 Of the prolertionisls and the anti renters
|. Ten thousand democrats or more, absentet
!. themselves from the polls. II we had pu
respectable men on the Tammany ticket
J.. his majority in this city might easily have
!. been twelve thousand.
/. The call for reform Of our method o
Q making party nominations TO elect officer
!. must be obeyed. It's abuses, we hope
If have reached their highest point; the pub
8, lie Indignation is strongly aroused, and !
n expressed in the most decided manner
n There arc thousands who do not meal
l. hereafter to countenance, 10 the most dis
.. tant manner, such dIsgraceiuI proceeding
ID a. IN The election which has just iahel
W place, have gone by the name Of regula
=, nominations. Men York Post.
