there are no such pauIes known or recog-
nized IN Mississippi. For instance, ~ thIs
county there are two candidates before Us
one for the Senate and the other for the
Lower House Of the Legislature OF Missis-

and mean to aid in accomplishing their de-

Is it possible for any man Of Intelligence

to calculate on succeeding in carrying the
majority of votes of free people by such
balderdash as this Suppose it was true
that there was really no democratic party IN
this State, or any other State. what would
the real friends OF the Union have TO depend
upon, for its preservation! OF the thirty

"How potent for saving the Union will
be the whig party in the approaching Con-
gress! Eighty five in two hundred and
thirty-thres is the full measure of their
strength for the Unton. If this be the
only Union party in the country, pray what
is to become of the country! What a sad
number Of disunionists fills the land If the
Union and Constitution, and every thing
good and valuable i'll our institutions, rests
upon their shoulders, how deplorable is the
predicament ofall OF them. jus now What
grand inducements does the puissant plight
for good, of the whg party, hold out to the
friends Of the Union to join their ranks
What mighty attractions do they present to
the lovers of peace and harmony of quiet
and safety, among old men-of social pro-
gress, State honor, national dignity, and
American supremacy, among young men--
to fraternise with them.
A party under whose imbecile aud pIcd-
ding administration OF affairs, the Confeder-

Union party A squad OF eihty-fve in the

The Wing says "in this county there
are two Candidates before us, one for the
/ Senate and the other for the Lower House
of the Legislature Of Mississippi, nominated
! by the States Rights party" In our last,
| We stated that both Cols. Gordon aud Coop
er, conceded the settlement of the Com
] promise question by the September election
e Even if they did not so coneede, the
e imputation that the Wing throws out that
Col. Gordon ever was a disunion-ist
has been positively denied by that gen
tleman on more than one OCCASION. Ii
j.. looks little strange tina: such men as Cor
:, don and Coopor-who like McGregor, are
heather born-who have made their fame
;, or their fortune in our midst, should be
:. charged by the Editor of the IVsikiaSo,

Union than he IS.
We extract from the note of speecl
reported by us in our paper of the 2sth o
: January last, delivered by Col. Gordon he
e fore very large meeting of the citizens o
this county, held in Woodville, on the 2Is
of that month:
o Col. Gordon concluded the speaking, I'll,
I was no disusiOaist, and did not believe thert
was one present---if there was he wished t.
look him in the face THIS meeting fea,

: like disunion in this speech, made by Col
5 Gordon more than six months before his no
ID miuation ios the legislature Does il no
a. show sentiments directly the opposite Of dis
