c. 1--WE hope the editor of the Yazoo Dem
ocrat will continue bis quotations from the
Whig, as thereby some hard headed Democrats
who so blinded to their own true interests
as rot to take our paper will get a morsel of
truth occasionally. which perhaps they may
with the blessing of Providence, sift out of the
chaff the Democrat is filled with, to their profit
and edificduon."
Our neighbor of The Whig throws out tile
above bdner in such way that we cannot re-
fuse to comply, to certain extent. We have
been giving few ''morsels of truth occasion
ally from that paper, and to crafty its editor, we
give a couple more ''small morsels" of-weil,
we will not say what. In the Whig of week
before last we find the following:
'.He (Gov Fooie) yielded to the wishes of
those no desired him to lead the Union hosts
Tin 81 he accepted the position assigned him,
the MEMBERS Of the CONVENTION PLEDG-
ING The PARTY TO return him to the place he
resigned "a seat in the United States Senate.)
In last weeks issue we find the following:
We DID NOT SAY caucus or CONVEN-
TION promised to return him to The Senate
Bat we say. and ii is known to be true by hun
drcds of people in the State. that the Union dem
ocrats and whigs-prominent men OF both the
old political parties-pIedged their honor as gen
tlpnen never to desert the fearless champion
of the Union cause, till he was returned to the
seat he LEFT to save their cause and our common
country"

Comment is unnecessary.

A BoND CONFERENCE.-THE avoid the Bond is
sue in the present important canvass, the whig
press and some il not all the whig candidates for
the Legislature, propose that the next Legisla
ture shall not take any definite action as 10 The
payment or non ayment of the Union Bank
Bonds, not even to the satisfaction of The judg
ment lately obtained against the State upon one
of those Bonas,--bnt that the Legislature shall
call Convention for the express purpose Of act
Ing upon that subject. Now, we ask the tax
payers of Mississippi if they willing to call
convention to do that which properly belongs
to the Legislature, and which must meet at any
rate, at the cost of at least $4,000, when the
Treasury is already empty, and must be repien-
ished at the expense of burthensome tax with
out any unnecessary expenditure of fifty or sixty
thousand dollars,--and all, too, to allow a party
which is known as the Bond paying party, to
evade and dodge the issue, that they may get con-
troll of the next Legislature, by electing their can
didates upon other less important issues? 1t
seems to us that neither the love of party or men
viii cause them to do SO.
The truth is. upon the next Legislature will
desolve the necessity of making an appropria-
ton for the payment of part of the Union
Bank BoAds--which will be taniamount to pay
ing them all. for it will be an acknowledgment
of their constitutfnnality--or TO openly declare
to the world that Mississippi viii not pay those
Bends, because Of their anconstitutionality

proof in this case. If Gov. Foote .sdenies it

6harp Shooting.

A rife shooting match came OF near Troy
Iast week, between NJ Williamson, of New
York. and n. LeSis, Of Troy. The match
was 500, offered by NT. Williamson, the
challenger, and won by Mr.. Lewis. The
distance was forty rods. each having twenty
shots. Plain globe sights were used. Mr..
Lewis string (reeLoning the distance Of each
ball from The center) measured SO inches
and Mr.. Williamson's 6l. Mr.. Lewis's
shots averaged only one to one and hall
inches from the center point Mr.. William
son was considered the best marksman in
the State prior to shooting with Mr.. Lewis.
But few bets we're made before the shooting
commenced, but after Mr.. Lewis fourth shot
offers of five to one were made on him, but
Rone taken.
Mr.. Lewis has won several matches
within the last three years amounting in all
to over $1,000. Mr.. Williamson used a
rifle made in New Haven. Connecticut, and
Mr.. Lewis one of his own manufacture
Altogether the shooting was considered the
best even done in these parts. Six hundred
