THE IrAWAMRA DELEGATION.

The Senator from this county and two of the
Representatives. VIM. Beene and James c. Kinds,
are arnigued in the "Aberdeen Independent OF the
2sth utno by writer under the signature of
"Epaninondas.
II the writer has correctly stated the facts, the
charge OF disappearing the wishes of the people
Of the county, is clearly established
II seems that two public meetings had been held
in the county short time before the delegation left
home for the seat of Goyernment-one at Richmond
and the other at Fulton. All Of the arraigned dele
gates attended the Fulton meeting and one of them
was present at the Richmond meeting No other
meetings were held in the county.
At Richmond, by the unanimous vote of a large
assembly OF tbs citizens, resolutions were passed
opposed to the call of tie Legislature, and approve
ng in de:ded terms the course of Gen. Foot, on the
adjustments bin. The meeting at Eaton, was also
numerousy attended, the :" great questions of the
day" fully discussed and the meeting adjourned with
out adopting resolutions--each party claiming the
majority in the house, but the noise and confusion
so great that the Chairman was unable to make
count.
If be the fact, as stated by "Epaminondas,' that
the meeting at Fulton was eQnally divided, and that
TIL meeting at Richmond was attended by iour-ffths
Of the citizens of that section of the county. and
the resolutions. after free discussion, unanimously
adopted the delegation richly deserve the severe cas-
tgation which has been administered 10 them.
These gentlemen were active and unrelenting in
their efforts in the Legislature to censure Senator
Foote, for what they regarded dereiction Of duty,
with the fullest conviction upon them, il "Epami
nondas " be correct that they were violating The
confidence reposed in them by their abused and in
suited constituents They were guilty of the So ne
offence for which they were attempting to disgrace
Foote; and thus by the terms of the resolutions of
censure which they voted for have recorded the ver
dict Of their own condemnation.
Mr.. Kinds, Of Itawamba, will be recollected by
the readers Of the Journals OF the House, was con-
spic,ous leader of the Quitman party, but we doubt
exceedingly whether he will cut 50 prominent figure
when called before his constituents, and particularly
the Richmond division, 70 DO weighed in the ballan'
ces which they have prepared for him.

snow since March, 1912 It commenced early in

LEV OUR FRIENDS SPEAK OUT.

In the last number Of the Democrat. we publish.
ed the card of Perkins, Warren l. Co., merchants
of NewYork, contradicting, in plain terms, the
charge that they were abolition'stS The terms of
denial are worthy of notice. II is not general de-
NAL but meets the accusation at every point, and in
all shapes They are not satisfied with saying that
the charge ID false, and they are not aboltionisis
but the language is that they have no leaning to-
wards or any sympathy with the abotonjSts; that
neither Of the firm is noW, or ever cas, an aboli-
tionsts.
These gentlemen have taken their positions like
men they have spoken out or the South, and spoken
boldly Their language is not addressed to the South
alone but will be read by the North! also, We ask
not for the motive, it is enough that in the midst Of
the aboliionists, they have declared against them,
and in favor of the Constitution and law. Had Il
been possible that the denial would have been limit
ed in It's circulation 10 the South it might have been
said that they were false and hypocntcal, in assume
ing ground in harmony with Southern interes, and
prejudice, to promote selfish purpose.
That the inm,didte object to be effected by the
card Of Perkins, Warren e. Co., is good aGnding
Nth Southern merchants is not to be denied; but
we are justified also in these deductions; first it is
the interest of the merchants and manufacturers OF
the free States to retain the trade and custom OF the
South; and secondly, that fanaticism. with all its
boldness and rancour, will b firmly met in it's
strcnghOlds by feeling noe less powerful bat more
extensive and povading all the industrious classes

Who wearly splash through the mIrc
Alas or.the cattle all NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
