1t was true, the Wing party of Mississippi

The above is an extract from speech OF Judge
Rogers, the Scott Wing candidate for Governor
delivered at Greensboro, just before his nomlna-

ton that nominated him adopted in their platform
the Scott Wing resolutions of the wing national

Incident of the Senatorial canvass.

At Greensboro Gen. Foote met Governor Brown.
During Gov. Browns speech he took occasion to
criticise the celebrated Brooke d Botters letter of
Gen. Foote, Gen. F., interrupted the speaker bv
remarking, that the gentleman seems to infer that
he, Foote, was not in favor of the unity of the
democratic party. "Are you in favor of the unity
of the democratic party, do you wish and desire to
see the two wings of the democratic party united
for the purpose fopposing their common enemies,
the whigs?''
Gen Foote arose, and began to expatate upon
the compromise, and to talk promiscuously Gov
Brown remarked to the crowd, that the gentleman
was evading answer. ''Gov. Foote'' said he
Il put to you the categorical question. Do YOU
desire to see the democratic party unite for the
purpose of6ghtn9 their common opponents?" Gen.
Foote a0as silent! ''You, SIR continued Gov
Brown, 'have it in your power to produce har-
mony in the democratic rank-one word from you,
one scratch your pen, will settle all this difficulty
will you give that word? Give it, and | quite
the this instant pledge yourself to act for
the purpose Of restoring harmony in the democrat
ic party, and l quit the field [ will go home and
remain there. Y ca. sir, pledge yourself to this
course, and | will not be a candidate before the
Legislature, and | will give my written pledge moi
to receive the election at the hands of the Legisa
ture if offered me-" Gen. Foote aoas silent!
Gov Brown called upon him to be democrat
it was all he asked of him, 'be true to the faitl
and you will be true to yourself and do no harm tC
me, or any democrat y
We do not pretend to give the very words 0
either speaker, but We hare given the substance o
the remarks. Gov. Brown in Holly Springs hear
ing that Foote had said he would stand no chance
with Brown before the Legislative caucus, declared
that if democrat aUas to be elected, his only wisl
was to see the man most acceptable to the demo
cratic party, the choice of that party, the senator
and that as Gen. Foote seemed to fear him, of al
men, before the democratic members of the Legls
lature, that if Gen. Foote would give his consen
to abide by the long established usages and princi
Piles of the party, he, Brown, would sign write
agreement, pedging himself to retire from the can
vass and to refuse the election if it should be ten
dered him by the Legislature.
: We have few comments to offer at this time
Gen. Foote's position place him in the ranks c
the now organized whig party--he looks to ther
for support and for sympathy, they are in part e9
tending both.-Erchange.
