b
eerer we have ever met with says
the Memphis Enquirer, is Daniel K.
Russell, Union candidate for Auditor
of Mississippi. We heard him ad-
dress the multitude at fernando
some weeks ago, and with such in
finite good humor and effect, that
we shall be much mistaken if his
ten minutes speech there does not
turn him out as many hundred votes.
Russell's plan OF electioneering is to
deal with the 'sovereigns' with the
most blunt frankness iscarding ev-
cry particle of blarneying humbug.-
The North Mississippi Union sketch

capital sketch of the spirit of his
speeches, though not UP TO the orig
inal, either in dignity or bOnhommie
of manner, We give it however, as
affording some idea of his sway' of
getting along.

Crockett says, the politest man he
ever saw, when he asked man to
drink, turned his back, so that he
might drink as much as lie pleased.

a chance to drink twice if he wishes,

man, but the best electione erer-you
ought to see me shaking hands with
the variations, the pump handle, and

candidates wish instruction they
must call on me.
