THE PRESlDENCY--HENRY CLAY
"We perceive that the Wing papers
have commenced making suggestions as
to the proper candidate of the Wing parry
for the Presidential chair in l848. Gen,
Barrow, of the Nashville Banner, proposes
the name Of John J. Criltenden, and nro.
nounces deserved euIogy upon the ser.
vices, character and ability Of Mr. Crit
tenden. The Pulaski Courier HOSTS the
name Of John Bell, of Tennessee.
We have no objection to the names of
these gentlemen as connected with the
canvass of l848, but we think it rather
early 10 discuss The question, and more -
over, we cannot forget that Henry Clay u, u,
yet lives" IN
The foregoing quotation we take from
the Vicksburg Wing. We agree with
that paper as TO the Improperly of dis.
c1ssng this matter at so early a period;
especially in our own State. In l847, ia
the people CT Mississippi will be called on on
to elect four Congressman, (by Districts. me
Governor, Auditor, etc. The result OF uh
this election will have its bearing and cor
influence on the Presidential canvass in d c
1913 Would it not be better then. for anf
