no the Patrons of the Democrat.

With this number of the Democrat my con-
nection ceases. The motive which prompts my
withdrawal arises from no difference of political
opinion or personal feeling between myself and
former partner. but from desire solely to en-
gage in other business. Sincerely grateful for
the increased patronage given TO the Democrat. l
trust the same iberality may still be continued to
its present proprietors.
My interest has heen transferred to A. S. Per-
kins, Esq, whose answering zeal in the demo
cratic cause will no doubt effectuate much good

THE CRors.-The planters report that the cot
ton crop is being injured to some extent IN this
county by rust, worms and some rot. Ac-
counts from Alabama and South Carolina, re-
port the boll-worm as being very destructive,
and some estimates are put down as low as hall
crop. There is some complaint in nearly all
parts of the cotton growing country.
Other crops were never better, throughout the
whole of the United States. Our latest reports
from Europe, represent the harvest as very good.
Little or no potatoe rot in Ireland. Cotton has
advanced, as will be seen by our telegraphic
news
The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-09-08

CO Cotton is coming in quite briskly, and
business is beginning to revive. Notwithstand-
ing the river is low, we have no doubt shippers
will be able to get off their cotton in good sea-
son. There are now three boats in this river,
and more expected soon. The steamer Mann
moth Cave, Capt. P. C. Wallis, is making her
tri-weekly trips from this place to Vicksburg.-
She leaves Yazoo City every Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday at II NJ, and leaves Vicksburg
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at same hour.
The Volant, Capt. Brown, is making weekly
trips from Vicksburg to Greenwood, passing this
place on her upward trip every Wednesday
morning, and on her downward, every Saturday
morning.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-09-08

The Vicksburg Wing continues at the head of
its columns 9 The Contrast" in which is gwen
what purports to be an extract from speech Of
Gen. Pierce at New Boston on the 2nd of Janu-
airy, 1852. This has been repeatedly proven to
be false report by more than hundred respec-
table witnesses. We thought this was suffl-
cient to cause the editor to haul down the SLAM
der. But we were mistaken. Gen. Pierce has
written a letter, in which he pronounces the re
port an "entire Misrepresentation" We had
not the slightest doubt that it would disappear
after this letter. But the Wing has said the
horse was fifteen feet high, and he means to
stick TO az.
The extract is put in contrast with one taken
from Gen. Scott's speech to the Mississippi del
egation, which the Wing should take down for
the sake of the man, whose cause he is advoca-
ting. We have frequently heard bullies upon
the street say they were dead for their friend or
dead against their enemy, but we never before
heard Of candidate for the presidency or for
any other respectable Office say he was dead for
the constitution or that he was dead for or
against any particular measure or principle
We have no doubt Scott said it, for the style is
very much like his considering" letter While
upon this subject, we would ask the Whig why
Scott has not come out over his own sigma ,ure
and denied the statement made by Senator Wade,
that she (Seott) would suffer his right arm torn
from his body before he would lend it to the
support of slavery" Ii this is not done very
soon, zee too shall have CONTRAST at the
head Of our columns.

OE~ The political discussion that was to have
come off on Wednesday last at this place. be-
tween Gen. Miles and Hon. o. r. Singleton
failed to take place on account of the severe ill
ness of Mrs Singleton Many of our good cit
liens were disappointed on account of this fail
ure. Quite crowd came in from the country
to hear these champions of their respective par
ties. Many of us are anxious to know what a
very able and ingenious whig orator can say in
defence of the nominee of the freesoll wing
of the whig party" and what he can say against
Gen. Pierce. We know what the whig presses
say against him, but they resort to such contemp-
tible SANDER, and tell so many palpable false
hoods, and are as often convicted of them, that
we don't look upon their attacks as having much
force. Now we know that most of the whig
orators will not descend to such vile means to
make votes. Gen. Miles, we believe, is among
this number, and we think it would tax his in
genuity to the utmost to furnish a plausible rea-
son. why southern man should vote for Scott
in preference to Pierce. We hope at some fu-
ture day, Miles and Singleton will make il con
venient to fill their appointment in this county.
They VIII have crowd to hear them whenever
they come.

the II tn inst, at which the Hon. G. W. l..
Smith, 7. J. Wharton, D. C. Glenn, Col. jeff.
Davis, E. Barksdale Esq. and others, are expected
to make speeches. Those who don't know how
our neighbors at Benton get up anything of

and those who do know, we have no doubt will
attend if possible. Besides, it is seldom we
have the privilege in Yazoo of hearing addresses
from such orators as Davis, Smith, and the 9TH

are invited to attend.
c. We are Informed that there will be
Democratic Barbecue at Richland, on the 10Th

democrats of that place, with whom we have
the pleasure an acquaintance, that they will also
give one that will display spirit of true denaoc

0~r The following extract is the conclusion
of long article the political prospects of the
country, by the Herald Of the Union, Webster
paper, published in New York City 1t treats
of the superior patriotism and wisdom of the
democratic party, and the obstruction of the whig
party by sectionalism. Also of the ncorruph
BILE character, and lofty position Of Gen. Pierce,
as Union candidate
$50 far. as the Herald Of The Ua2on is concerned
we wish to give very definitely Sx Enthusiastically
our opinion on this subject This paper was
moi set up to defend the South. Her rights are
based upon what we still hope will prove to be
the immortal tablets of the Constitution. She
needs no arguments, she needs no fayors. She
never asks for them. She only wants common
Justice. But when northern men have fought
year in and year out for her legal, her constitu-
ton guaranteed rights, and find that she
takes the linch-pin out of the team, all we have
to say, is 90 ahead. Drive where youlike, but
don't take me in for passenger. If you are base
enough to take Gen. Scott, take care Of your
slavery, take Gaze of your houses, your homes,
your wives, your children. Don't ask me 10
stand by you when fate brings the hour.
In the heat of composition we have SAID this.
but more in sorrow than in anger. Hear then fol
a moment, friends brothers, countrymen. You
know General Scott is only General. Let his
laurels remain where they have been placed.
We will be the last to snatch them from his
brow; but have you Wings descended so low
that you do not dare to risk the issue upon civ
ic merit? Must you cloud up the ballot-box
with the sulphurous blasts Of gunpowder
Must you all-decency men, you all piety people
choose a military peacock to represent you, un-
der the contemnble plea that you are not strong
enough to put the greatest man you or your par
ty ever had or ever will have into the presiden-
tial chair /? Will you, men Of the South, when you

CO. It is quite cheering to hear our citizens
who have been north this summer, and are now
returning home, giving accounts of the pros
poets of democracy and the election of Pierce
and King. The northern papers they bring with
them are not less encouraging There are offers,
almost without number, of bets that Scott will
not carry five States in the Union-but none to
take them up. The wings claim Vermont and
Maryland for Scott, and some of them are bold
enough to bet on them. Better be cautious how
you bet on Marylandl Sosay those who ha We

GEN. PIERcE AND THE ENGLISH JouRNA1s.-
Some of the Wing presses are very indignant be-
cause some Of the English papers speak in high
terms of Gen. Pierce, and they pretend to be-
iieve, from this fact that he will favor British
interest to the injury of our own. BY parity
Of reasoning, what may we expect of General
Scott, should the people get beside themselves
and elect him to the presidency? Why, the no
torious English abolition missionary. George
Thompson has publicly declared his preference
for Scott, because he thinks his election would
enable him to renew with greater force and more
success, his attacks upon Southern institutions.
Now if the preferences of the British people
were matter OF any consequence to US, we
should prefer that our candidate should have the
good opinion of the intelligent journalist of that
country, than the friendship of those who would
SOW the seeds of discord and destruction broad
cast in our land
