aSces We can most c7rdialiy sgrss 10 Al TIA,
IS urgsl By Memo Judge Posey. II Tot
~norinated bow VII At 10 distant day b cal
ed upon BY an s~PPrscating constituency, TO
serve them IN The pubic councils ofthe county,
aud no one can Be- selected more worthy Of
public confidence or more abe to advance the
Interest," q those he represents, than Judge
StanboPe Posey. Of Wilkinson county.
But when we ssw one put forward BY
Others, then We felt Old wakinsen must speaks
out and give to The publie sumo idea Of the
estimation in which the Judge SHIELD =, home
ard show also that, ve are not slow in appre-
eating merit, even though 8 prophet Is not
without honor, &c. Though it is cut Of Judge
POseys sphere to take an active part in politics
yet bis qualifications for seat in Congress.
none will sttsrnPt to deny, this viii be readily
conceded even ~ his opponents, and unless
We sadly mistake public opinion the day for
testing the matter IS not far distant
We are also pleased to see the compliment
sry remarks Of the Free Trader, in reference to
the following communication but we think
the conclusion Of those remarks NAV lear a
double meaning, and create erroneous impress
sions. The Free Trader in referring to Judge
Posey's claims, and drawing its beau ideal of
aCcngress man, says: "let US rather find some
one connected with the soil by BIRTH, familiar
with our wants from his participation in our
interests, capable and full Of enthusiasm, DC"
The following communication states truly that
Judge Posey is intimately connected with the
soil by birth, being a native of this county
and we can truly say that no one is more fam.
thar with the wants Of the people, or more en-.
thusias,ic in the advancement and prosperity
of his native state.
COMMUNICATED
MESsRs. BRIDEwELL AND SHoEmAKER.-In
comDon with other Democratic editors in
Ais portion Of our State, you have hoisted the
name Of Gen. Robert Stanton, of Adams. to
represent this district in Congress in case Gov.
Brown is not a candidate for reelection, or to
represent the State at large If Governor Brown
should still hold his place.
Among the many gentlemen in the dis
qualified to fll a seat in Congress with
credit and ability allow me TO call your atten-
ton to one whose name, so far as | know, has
never been mentioned in connection with il,
but whose nomination, more than that of any
man, would enlist the enthusiastic sup
port OF Jefferson county. | allude to the Hon.
Stanhope Posey Of Wilkinson. Judge Posey
presided in our Circuit Courts in this Jul
dicial District for several years past, in a man
ner creditable alike to bis legal attainments,
his intellectual capacity, and his qualities as a
gentleman. He is a native of Wilkinson coun-
ty, where in early life he built up for himself
a reputation which soon extended itself abroad.
and his career in the Offices of honor which
has held, has marked him as one of the
greatest ~favorites wherever he is
known. He has filed no station in public or
private life that he has not adorned.
he belongs to that gallant band of Demo-
rats who fought so long in Wilkinson a.
gainst hopeless odds, and have at last achiev-
I'd a victory. No truer or frmer Democrat
ives than stanhope Posey. 1t may be OBJ
ected that he has mot served his party" to the
'xtent that others have done. The station
has occupied forbade his mingling in the
neat Of party strife. To have engaged in what
$ known as party service would have been to
soiled the ermine with which he was in
rested, and which he has preserved 50 spotless.
Ills purity, his talents, his suavitys Of manner
md mis- high integrity have endeared him to
he people, and eminently qualify him to stand
y the side of Jefferson Davis, representing
Mississippi in the national councils. MEMO.
