The Yazoo Democrat., 1851-07-09

'twixt the monkey and his master.
We are still looking out.
The Monroe Democrat of the 18th ult., In
reporting the ditcussion between Genl. Foote
and Mr.. Phelan at Aberdeen, says that Genl
Foote in reply referred = Col. Jefferson Davis
US cut-throat. We were unprepared for
such language even from Gen'I Foote. We
know that it must be hardfor him to keep his
temper when disappointments thicken so fast
around him. He expected to have an easy
time Of it, from his boasts in tie Senate, and in
the northern cities which he recently visited.
But he is met at every turn, and his incon-
sissencies served up before the people by
some able champion of the south, whenever be
attempts to speak. He finds that the people
understand this matter, and can not be gulled
by his false cry Of .sUnion." But notwfth-
standiug this, we looked for some satisfactory
explanation of the change. The Aberdeen
Independent makes faint attempt at deni-

cnPies high position--a Senator ofMississ-
ippi in lhe Congress Of the United States, to
apply such an epithet as cut-throat to brotl.-

in arms the world knows and appreciates; is

The following is from the Monroe Demo

who was present az the speaking could have
understood Gen. Foote ia any other way.
Since the above was written, we have re-
