A Life Picture Dt MUdCBu hUSdIH'
The Primitive Republican made its appearance in
our sanctum on Thursday last, considerably enlarged
in proportions and decidedly improved typographical
-it is really an honor to the craft rejecting credit
upon our Young friend TIMBERLAKE, the foreman We
wish the Primitive and its accomplished, amiable ed
tor. F. G. BALDWIN, a long and successful career.
Courtesy prompts US to notice the "Expository Do
son' ofthe Primitive, touching the Union party. As
Inner of Positions the Primitive justly ranks high
or than anypaper within our knowledge. As "a sketch
err our friend is in newspaperdom what Hogarth was
in the lover-ten-t housandom-unapproacha HE'S
natural artist of rare merit His conceptions are as
true as his execution is artistic he has an eye that
oroups the beautiful in position" and a hand that
traces the ideal of his fancy with precision wond
erfI as it is effective The merit ceases not here In
the realities Opposition where the groesque and the
ideal meet he possesses genius as lofty and exc
cuon as distinct as ever did any of Eve and then
there is an irresistible selcomplacent, funprovokng
attitude assigned in his sketches both for the charact

Union party by the Primitive How true to the life:

We thankthe Primitire FOR the picture above
Lowndes county has been distinguished for the indie
pendence Of her people and her politicians. When the
question of disHRion secession first broached in
State, series of resolutions were adopted in Co
lumbus, which mild. but firm and correct. Since
then, many have supposed that Wings and Democrats
in that county really desired to encourage and give
countenance to disunion doctrines That true South
erner and talented Wing, w L. Harris. has often
been referred to disunion artator; but we have
felt that he wronged- and that the only object he
had in view the independence of the South. We
do not mean by this that he desired dsunon or seces
sion, but that he wished Southern industry and enerU
to compete with the pauper labor of Great Britain and
the skill Of the North Eastern States. No community
or country can be entirely independent without the
means of supplying all their wants at homeand there
Is no State IN the Union more deficient in this respect
than Mississippi. We have wealth enough: inteli-
gence and energy enough; and lift only be proper
y directed, we will not have to rely upon Ohio for our
pork; Indiana for corn; Missouri and Virginia for
our tobacco and flour; Kentucky for our bagging and
rope and Lowell for the fabrics manufactured out of
the productions of our soil; but will have manu-
factories in State to furnish negroes with cloth
ing, and our soil, climate, &c. will produce all the veg
etable and animal substances necessary for US. But
these are mere trusms and have depressed from our
d purpose We ony intend to allude the good advice
In the 9th resolution adopted by the different meetings
IN Lowndes county, and to express regret that the po
teal or party feeling which it embodes, should have
to be copied with the useful Mr. Harris has partic
pated freely in the meetings and glad to see the
conservative spirit which prevails.-V iciSburq WHO
