c. We refer our readers to the card of the
Rev. Thomas D. Ozanne, Rector of ST. Phillips
church, Kirkwood, Madison county. Mr.. Ozanne
has settled at Kirkwood in orderto establish
school and perform other duties, having charge of
the Parish. The reputation Of this gentleman
a scholar has been well known and deservedly
appreciated in Kentucky and elsewhere. His
ability is admitted, not only as a teacher Of the
branches of Classical and English education,
but from all We can learn from the best authority
his qualifications as a moral discinIenarian are
unsurpassed. The religious education of our
children is matter of the highest consideration
It has been too much neglected in our Colleges
and institutions of learning Wherever the
moral training of our youth is left to themselves
they seldom fail 10 embrace misguided views Of
republican privileges at the expense of christian
principle. It affords us pleasure to recommend
Mr.. Ozanne as one of the best of men, capable
of remedying this evil We would advise pa
rents under like advantages in the South who
contemplate sending THAR children North to ed.
ucate them, to keep them at home. They would
learn more, make better citizens, live longer and
secure greater share of happiness to themsel YES
their kindred and the yoyld. When we koU
schools at home, let us send our children to them
It will amount comparatively 20 no separation
they will be in reach of attentions, the wan
OF which frequently renders both parent AM
child unhappy-and often produces disappoint
meRt on both sides in reference to their educa
ton, to be regretted for once, and that for life

rival Of Col. Fremont at Washington, from
England, where he has been incarceraied on &C
count of the debls contracted by him, IN order
to equip the men with whom he made the CON
quest Of California Il IS stated that Col Ere

stramenis for the purpose Of pfosecut'og the
survey Of The Central Route, for railroad to he
Pacific. lie proposes TO start IN November, and
thus to test the practcability Of the route during
the season of SHOWS. 1t IS also understood that
Col Fremont undertakes this survey without aid
from the Government. He has the means and
if he uses them In this undertaking. IL will give
him an additional claim to the gratitude Of The
whole country
The Yazoo Democrat., 1853-07-20
Thanks.

The editors and printers at the Office of the
Democrat take :his opportunity to express their
hartiest thanks to their kind friend Mrs. N. for
those excellen: "sangarees," which were sent TO
our Office on Thursday last accompanied by y
plate of nice pound cake and peaches. Our
devil poor fellow, was deprived of the glass
intended for HIM. b. an unmercifnl fever; but it
was drank to "John's speedful recovery.
Editors may talk about the "beautiful bo
qnets," "baskets of plums," ETC., ETC., which they
receive, but the unexpected arrival of half doz-
en- glasses Of delicious Medarie sangarees. with
ice, and big plateful OF pound cake and peaches
about twelve o'clock H., when the theremome.
ter is looming up into the nineties, is a treat
worth Dragging about.
The fact that editors stuck away in their clut
tered sanctum, and printers rattling among their
old black type, are remembered By kind and wor-
thy ladies'. who are under no obligations to them
Is indeed cheering to their unavoidably dry and
sad hearts. The relative value Of these little
evidences Of regard are not trifling-but of price
less value.

Os- Friend Chapman, you pity your ''Yazoo
friends" do you and for what? You aud our
se,ses agree upon every point touched in your
article o.f last week, headed ''Selishuess seems
to be the rnling spirit of the day." save one
that is in referene TO the State Rights party be
inc willing to receive Ire Tnion men into com
munion with US. Is there a2y ofen ques'ioo
before the people,-uhere an apph,-~ation t''n De
made, upon which the two wings of the narty
do not agree? Are the compromise measures
not settled, settled forever? Is it not better to
save the party from utter ruin, and secure its
glorious triumph, where there is no sacrifice OF
principle, BY the mere sacrifice of personal pref
erence, than to contend for merely abstract
principle, that can be as we'll carried when it
shall become practical question. and obstinate
ly refuse 10 unite with those who differ with us
upon that particular subject? The success oi
these principles would, in this way, be much
surer than By allowing our "common enemy" to
get the ascendency and paralyze US forever? We
are always willing to lay aside preferences and
prejudices for the good of the party, when we
can do so honestly and consistently. And we
see nothing but prejudice in the way of the un-
ion of the entire democratic party at this time.
If you pity your ''Yazoo friends" for desiring the
unity of the party, and for their willingness to
strike hands" with the Union democracy, then
pity on,--and while you are plying US. rernem-
Der that we not only pity, but regret the appa-
rent blindness of our Columbus friend. Nearly
|every State Rights paper in the State agrees with
us upon this subject If this was your opinion
about coalition, why did you participate in the
Jackson Convention, which you knew would be
Icomposed Of both wings of the party, and which
you had good reason to think would divide The
spoils :" We are sorry to see you striking q
blow at the harmony of the party, by showing a
hatred for one branch of it-"indeed, we are.
But friend Chapman. it seems impossible fol
you to see things in the same light that Others
do. In another article we have shown how
badly you were mistaken about the extent and
condition of the SO called 'Chichasaw rebellion

S. S. PRENTlss.

The new Yazoo and Vicksburg packet, IS. S,
orentiss," arrived here on last Fri1sy. She IS
ust what she was intended to be--the fastest,
most comfortable, and strongest if not Tie hand
soonest boat that has ever foated on the wateSs
of the yazoo. Her cabin is well furnished
rooms are large, spring mattresses, lie preservers
and every thing complete. Capt. P. G. Wallis,
who commands the Prentss. is well known and
deservedly popular. To make long story Short
the PrentiSs suits our notions of model packet
better than any other steamer that has ever tied
a cable at this wharf. If any one doubts the cor
rectness of our Judgement let him take trip TO
Vicksburg on her, and all his doubts will vanish.
She makes her debut on her future stage Of action
to-day-taking the place Of the faithful Camp
bell" which retires in very good credit-never
having taken the life of single passenger. May
the same good fortune attend the Prem tiss

the POutOtOc Convention.

The great g noise and confusion of the Chick
asaw rebels, about the gathering together of
mighty hosts on the 4th of July inst, turned
out to be all gas. Thirteen delegates reported
themselves upon that mighty and momentous
occasion. Even the Barbecue and Bran Dance
given on the occasion, could not entice the peo-
pie to join the Reuben army, to fight the chill
dren of g King Caucus" When they had gath
cred together, it was ascertained that the coun-
ties of Pontotoc. Monroe, Chickasaw and TIA
wanda had furnished, i'll all. thirteen delegates
or, rather they furnished themselves. When
Phean and the twelve apostles of Rueben had
assembled together in that dark and dreary clos
ct of old King Caucus where SO many mod
est aspirants have been ' slaughtered, and where
the Aberdeen Lamb" was stripped of his false
robe, they declared to the world ard the rest OF
mankind" that they did not think the object OF
the convention had been understood by the good
people of Chickasaw. Seeing that their number
was small and weak, they refused to make war
upon the State ticket, and conten;ed themselves
b. setting forth few complaints against the old
rules and regulations of the - King No action
in reference to the candidates was taken After
having passed few resolutions setting forth q
number of changes which BY them were thought
necessary in reference 10 the present convention
system, they separated one from another, and
went into the four quarters of . Chickasaw.'-
Thus the mighty storm, which was expected te
blow King Caucus and his army not only !" int
the middle Of next week" but g into the middle
\ Of eternity" has passed, and nobody hurt, save
the rebels themselves. The gas in Rueben's bal.
loon has been exhausted. and it isaew confident.
ly expected that he will lay down 5 implement.
of war. including the bloody jack-knile and re.
tire to the shades OF Monroe. never again to de.
clare war without cause or provocation.

WIG STATE TIcKET

The Whig State Convention met at Jackson
on the llth inst, and put out a clean, out and
out whig ticket. The mongrel concern of Foote,
Palmer & Co., was kicked out, very unceremo-
niouslyat that. The softs were rebnked for their
love Of the Union Democncy-the old whig
banner flung to the breeze, no favors asked of the
glorious patriots of 81. Not a single Union
democrat left on the ticket The leaders Of the
old coon party that to be pig and puppy
would only show their old dough face as plain
as Henry S. Foote's defeat is now depicted on
The pages IF sorrow. But behind the screen
hangs mistery. The whig ticket, as nomina-
ted BY the convention. stands as follows: For
Govem9r, f. NJ. Rogers; Secretary of State J.
A. Horne Auditor. Daniel r. Russell; State
Treasurer, Joseph Mcdowell Attorney General.
Ge orge II. Foote; aud for Congressman from the
State at large. A. B. Bradford. Since the adj
jparnment OF the convention, the Flag Of he
Union states that Parson Mcdowell declines be
ing candidate for the Treasurer. AS the con
vention provided no way of filling vacancies, we
presume the card will be worked by Foote, Pal
mer 6CCo., Jas to run Clark We should not BE-
Surprised il tbe fact that Mcdowell would no
accept yyas known TO the cenxention--ora por
tion Of least, and an understanding that tht
whig convention should show clean hand tC
! ''outsiders;' while trap was set to catch Unior
Democrats. The Flag has run up the name o
Daniel McLaurn. who will probably decline
but not until the most of the whig press of tht
State have hoisted the name OF Gen. Wm Clark
the present incumbent. Finally, not being abl'
to get any whig to accept, they will go in fol
Clark and call upon the Union Democrats TO fl.
to the rescue Already the Caution Citizen ha
done this very thing We thought it YER
strange if the Flag clique were going to enter
convention, '.the smell of which reached +
heaven, desert their mongrel ticket take up tn
"once cherished but now hateful name of Wig
: and finally desert the sdear Union Democrats
Their game is deception. but as usual, crac
is left in the wall, and the plot discovered befor
it has been put into execution. If we have nc
discovered the true secret now, close observatio
will find +" screw loose somewhere.
In reference 10 the whig ticket, we shall onl
say at present. that. let ii be as good as coul
have been made, we have got a better one. and
d--h sight faster one one that will come out fro
ten TO fifteen thousand stakes ahead, as certai
as time.

OC7- The Vicksburg SVhig and the other fed

they may growl about his "Frecsoil appoint

graphs from the New Hampshire Patriot, and tie
speeches of Mr.. Cooley. etc. etc, TO prove that
be has sacrificed the interest of the party to pro-
mote his own ambitious views but the people
can see, and judge of the Presidents sell'-his
wisdom, his ambition. and his honesty, as well
as the enemy press, or the disappointed dema-
gogue. As long as the whig party complain
bitterly Of Gen. Pierce and his administration,
it may be taken for granted that all is right -
But let them once commence prasing the Presi
dent aud we may well be alarmed. Look at
them, now praising and defending Foote, Davis
& Co.; and why? because they are distracting
the democratic party, and cutting about as many
rustic capers as a baboon on a grape-vine.-
Let us hear from you III all your clamor and
plainis--so long as YOU are heard grumOling,
the democracy may rest assured that their cause
is prosperous, that they uniting stronger and
stronger. and that their prosperity is dealing
death strokes to whiggery.
