look 10 him 10 furbish up his armor for the
still distant but coming fight"
Ii is not too early, certainly, for the un,
terrified whig-democracy of Mississippi to
devote . passing moment to our approaching
state election. Notwithstanding the day is
far of, il becomes as 10 commence in sea-
son with our preparations, in order that ell
things may be. in perfect readiness by the
day upon which the battle is 10 be fought,
and the victory lost or won.
The convention system we have ever op.
posed; and, we fondly trust, il is, except
when absolutely necessary, forever abandon
ed by the wing party Of Mississippi. Such
a system, in state, is contrary to the spirit
OF WhiggeTY; and the sooner it is abolished,
the sooner will the people consider them
selves competent to ''dO their own voting"
instead Of Obeying the mandates of party drill
and petty shutting and corruption
Than Patrick Henry, Of Madison county,
we know Of no one more suitable for the
campaign Of ls47. There are many worthy
wings in the state, whose names haze been
hOnorOrably mentioned in connection with
the candidacy for the gubanalorial chair; but
we conceive none of them combine in his
own character, life and manners, more of
the honorable elements Of popularity, than
Gen. H. His career in early life and his
native energy Of mind, his unspotted inlegri-
lIy, his disinclinatiOgsto the life Of polit
lcian, his suavidity Of manner, his unconqer-
able love Of principle, his fearlessness, his
rare argumenlatiVe powers and vigorous i'm
aginatlon, all combine to mark him as man
that with him as our leader in AZ, patent
democracy in Mississippi might be nailed tO
the counter like base coin.
If Gen. Henry will but consent to become
the candidate, we do not doubt hut that eV'
ery whig in the state will be rejoiced, anC
that he will receive cheerful, cordial, anC
an efficient support Being emphatcally I
= man of the people, and fit representative
Of the character and characteristics of thu
mass of the people of Mississippi, he coulC
as the candidate of the wing party 70
% Tour gubanatorial chair make troops Of friend
among all classes and conditions.
We do most sincerely hope that the PEG
r, pie OF Mississippi will have the opportunity
Is at our next election, of casting their vote
,r in favor of Gen. Fl, and elevating him TO tn
n chief Office of the state. He is worthy {
the distinction, an will reflect honor upo
