But few more weeks and you viii be cali
cd upon to exercise one Of the highest priv
lileges known to freemen, the right Of cast
ing your votes for the men Of your choice
It behoOges you then, TO be active and yigi'
lent from now until The election. Work,
work. should now be the order Of the day
with the Wings and Union Democrats q
Mississippi And they may depend upon
&c. there is work to be done, il they intend
/ to carry The State. It is admitted BY oul
opponents. that parties are. nearly equal ir
! this State: if so, it is manifest that 9 very
slight difference in the degree Of vigilance
and activity used in the present contest viii
decide The struggle in favor Of the most
vigilance and the most activity. The work
to be done by the Wings and Union Demo-
Gratis of Mississippi in order to ensure them
one of the most decisive and glorious VIC
tories they have ever achieved, is very sim
pie in its character.
Take the necessary steps before the day
Of election. in each county, to make it alb
solutely certain that evcry Wing and Union
Democrat, The state Of whose health does
not positively forbid it. win be at the polls.
Provide for this beforehand, and see that it
is done.
Ascertain between now and the election,
whether any erroneous impression has been
made on the mind Of any Wing or Union
Democrat, by means of Misrepresentation,
and remove II by stating the truth as it is.
If these things be done, it is our opinion
that Judge Rooms viii beat his opponent
not less than thousand votes, and, may be,
a good many more.
And is it not due to him, due to them
selves. to the high position they hold, and
due to the best interests of the country.
that the UNIoN Men of Mississippi should,
at this important coniuncture. turn out in
their fullest strength. and make the highest
effort of which they are capable? Such an
effort, we repeat. is all that is wanting to
enable them to sweep the State--to over
throw the enemy, horse, foot and dragons, :
and to teach the insolent organs Of Seces-
sion that they do not intend to be conquer
ed, much less to be '.humbled and Sub
|jugated.
To work, then, Whig&and Union Demo
crats--to work! You have abundance of
time to make up for any past gupineness
liz Jon viii but avail yourselves Of it. You
have ample opportunity for arranging any
misunderstanding or wrong constructions
| upon important questions among your friends
beat the Secession candidates in every
county and district in the State. Let that
be the word and the work.
We would also urge upon our friends to
beware Of swapping woes. It is griey-
Gus wrong to the common cause. It is an
act Of the grossest injustice to the Wing
and Union candidates thus snapped Off It
is not honorable, furthermore, in wing to
vote for democratic candidate Ia consiaerG-
ton Of a democratic vote for some other
wing candidate for some other place. Take.
for instance, the cases Of Judge Rogers and
Col. McClung. They are candidates. at
the solicitation and by the recommendation
of the Wings Of the State, and Of this Con-
gressional District, through regularly hold
|en Conventions Is IL honorable. then, af-
ter. inuiting them out, to swap them off !?
Why. if this business of swapping should
become prevalent, it will infalliBly break up
any party that adopts il: for what man,
however popular and deserving. and with
whatsoever unaninity nominated, win ael
cept the nomination, IL he may be snapped
away after being induced by persuasion and
solicitation to present himself as q candi-
date? Here are Col. McClung and Judge
Rogers, on The track, brought oil and placed
there By the Wings and Union men Of this
Congressional District. and Of the State,
and undergoing al the faligues and prisa-
lions Of a laborious canvass. Would It be
honorable. then. We put 4 70 the conscience
