The people can now Judge of the sincerity OF
those blcar.eyed patriots, who fly of in tan
gents at the mere mention Of resisting attacks
upon the constitution, Mississippi has been .
strong democratic State, and there were many
wings who considered themselves very meri-
t%orious, and not appreciated. They thirsted
for office and fame, as the parched ground does
for rain-and forsooth, they have Indignantly
cast from their sleeves, as an incubus the old
name of wing and assumed that OF unionist-
and with blubbering lachrimals, beg the poo
pie for Office. A few months ago, the paper
from which the above extract is taken, had the
independence to call itself the "Southron,"-
alasl the temptations Of office were too strong
for human nature. The Southron hauled down
its name--it was going over to the Norih-it
was deserving the cause of the South, and It
could no longer claim to be a Southron. One
dark, dismal night, when the discordant ele-
ments were fiercely warning, and nature seem
ed TO have lost its authority, a committee OF
three gentlemen-tall and handsome, dressed
in sable cloths, save a spotlcss vest-might
have been seen in a certain room in Jackson,
in close and earnest conversation. Their ges-
lures were ominous, and their countenances
seemed indicative Ola most ponderous mental
weight. What, reader, do you think was the
the cause Of this silent conclaye! A very few
words will tell.

Col. h. Yes, u move for victory. Twelve
years and more, have winged their way, since
we good patriots had office. Office, office, bc
our watch.word, and victory will be our re-

Mai. C. There is something in the name
of wing, that CRATES harshly on the plebiar
ear, and stenches in his nose. Even since the
