Before close | think should
Write our Congressman a word.
Dear MIR. Cable, you and
Have IruveI'd through the mud together,
And kept unharmed our friendships lie,
Through every change Of Fortunes sky,
Her pleasant and her rainy weather.
Full fifteen times since FIRST we met,
Our New Years sun has risen and set
And time has cut ihe wrinkles now
Of julius Ceaser on your brow;
And proudly would 'old Ceaser claim
CompaniDnship with Cables name
HIS peer in pug nose and in fame
Both eloquent, aud learned, and brave,
Born to command, and skilled 10 rule,
One made the constituent slave,
The other makes him more-a fool
The Ceaser, an imperial crown,
His slaves made q I, refused 10 weari
The Cable put his fools cap "a,
And found il fued to a hair
Bat lel that pass. As | have said,
There's naugh., save aurels, on your head
And Time has changed your clustering hair,
And scauered snow.n flakes Ihickly there;
And our lives so far have been
As different as their different scene,-
Mine more renowned for rhymes Than riches,
Yours less for scholarship than speeches.
know that you modest know
That when you hear your merits praise.
Your checks quick bushes and 60
Like maidens' on their bridal days.
And il there be a fault 10 cloud
The brightness Of your clear good sense,
II is. and be the fact allowed,
Your only falling DGdence.
An smiub!e weakness-gven
To justify the sad reflection,
Tint IN this vale Of tears, not even
Cu6le is perCecton.-
A most romantic deleslaiion,
On power and place, and pay and ration.
True, "many flower" the poets sing,
" Is born 10 blush unsecn,"
But you, although you blush, are not
The dover the poets
In vain you wood u ower lot,
In vain you clipped your eagle wings;
TaIenls like yours not forgot
And buried wuh earhs common things.
An anxious district sought aOd found you.
In a bles1 day oijoy aud pride.
Sceptpred your nervous hand. and crowned you,
Her leglsIaiIons worthy guide.
With wha, delight the eyes of all
Gaze on you seated in your hall
The Congress halI-where authority
Consists ia two Words ma joriy.
Where on your legislative nose,
In coors of The rainbow, linger,
Like sunset hues on Alpine SHOWS,
The prlnl.marks of your Ihnmb and finger.
But soon, often twas before,
Your seat must be vacated,
Then TO be filed if possible,
l}y one more empty palrd.
And now dpur friend. before we part,
single question would ask;
You will not take il much to heart,
Nor deem the answering much task
Why did YOU to the Printer send
letter with your name,
For Governor and then pretend
That I'm another source il came
And now I've sung my New Years lay
My sweetest and my last:
hope you'll! live 10 heat me sng
When another year is past
wish you ALL both short and tall
Happy New Years Day
or fun and cake may all partako,
And drive dull care away.
The year that's past has been the last
That we have lived tn see,-
May she who nov has made her bow.
To US as pleasan! be.
I'm bidding you years farewell,
My patrons kind and true;
But III no. forget you, gen'ro ones,
ln The spree I'm going to
Take upon the "biIs'' and dimes
Which you give me for my rhymes.

The District Convention.

Mr. EDITOR I'm the last number ofyour paper,
see that you suggest the propriety of holding the
Democratic Convention for this Congressional Dis
trct at Pontotoc on the third Monday in April. The
place is appropriate and proper but April is too
1t seems to me that the former custom in the District
should be adhered June is early enough for the
Convention. In this opinion am sustained by that
OF a number of prominent Democrats, whom have
recently conversed with on the subject
If the Governor commits the adsurdity of requiring
the five members which the State is entitled, to be
elected by general ticket need not and ought not to
control have any influence with the State Dis
trct conventions. The State convention will have
the right to nominate the candidate to be voted
for by the Democracy of the whole State. 1t
properly have any thing to do with the District
ventons. Gov. Foote has right to repeal the law
distrcting the State. That law is and must be in
hope the District convention will not be held earli-
er than the month of June. Yours &c.
LLOYD SELBY.
The notice in the last Mssssippian that the State
convention would meet in May next, for the purpose OF
nominating State officers, member of Congress for
the State at large, and the entire delegation, should
the Governor order the election by the general ticket
system, didn't to to be given in spirit of die
tation, and very far from wishing to throw a
fire-brand into the democratic party-we for un-
ion, peace, and harmony
A novel question has been sprung on us, we admit
and although opinion is that the law of 1874, dis
tricting the State is not virtually otherwise repeal
ed; yet if the Governor should issue wrs of election
to the Sherhs of the respective counties, confess
ignorance to an better mode of redress than
go to the ballot-boxes and deposit our votes

practiced against the rights of the people OF the dis
ricts and they will strive to show that the wishes Of
the people have not been heard respected by dis
tant convention, composed of large majority of mem
beers, who reside in remote parts of the state, and
know nothing, and care less for our wants This VIII
be their hue and cry. AS party they are cautious
and to some extent cunning.-They never speak, or
move first, in relation to any measure-from the Pres
dentia nomination. to the lowest Office they keep s-
lent and only organise party when the review the
actions of our candidates weigh well the merits of
our platforms and if they by tortre or distressing
doube-visson discover aught to make capital of they
seize it with avidity--lke the vuure and aided by as
strong VISION and nostrl as is peculiar to this bird,
they pounce down upon the puterScent insgnifcance
of what fact really nothing, bat always shun the
living and eternal truths of our creed At time,
deprecating the frauds aud corruptons of the Conven
ton practice and making "a lodg'd hate against it,
the only basis OF their canvass, but when policy sug
rests to them to cool their corroding destrust, and
they think the world has forgotten their apostacy
find Them in solemn concave assembled the very he
roic defenders of what they formerly hated-conven-
tions.-Denocratic Flag.

The silence which the Democratic presses of the
State have maintained in relation this very impor-
tant feature of our party policy, has more than
impressed itself upon our mind. What has caused
this apathy, and islessness upon the part of MANY
OF the former supporters of this important provision
OF Democratic usage! Surely not its inutility, for
past experience has proved beyond doubt that the
Convention System is the surest and most direct rep
resentation OF the peoples wishes, and its selections
nave ever met with the encouragement of the entire
satisfaction of every voter in party Has nova
ton, the desire for the introduction of surer means
for ascertaning the wishes of the people of the re-
specve counties in this District, held in duress an ut
terance of their views upon this momentous subjects
We have in vain searched for a solution of their sic
lence, but we must content oursef with the coniec-
lures, somewhat like the following: The recommen-
daton of the Central Democratic State Committee
Tor call OF the state convention in May, taken in
connection with the failure of the Legislature during
its last regular and special session, to agree upon
plan of dstrcting the State under the last census
portionment and also, the probability of Gov. Foote
issuing writs of election for five members of Congress
for the state at large, may have produced the idea with
many, that the state convention may supersede the
necessity of district convention. In other words
since under the authority of Gov Foote, five members
OF Congress to be elected by general ticket then
the purpose for which District meets is thus far
destroyed by the prior Duty and action of the State
Convention.
Our views are different, and we will briefly unfold
them to readers and leave for subsequent occas-
ions elaborate justification or mention of them
and also, the various good reasons which impress us
to the stand. We concur in the idea of the State
Convention assembling first nominating state ticket
including member of Congress for the State at large
but referring the matter to the seperate district con-
ventions, who, their candidates will be. That the
state Convention should meet first is apparent for ma
ny reasons. 1t will lay down platform for the gov
ernance of the canvass-develope the issues, which
as party will sustan and define everything which
bears any relation to our cause But if this conven-
ton dominates candidates for Congress for the respec
tive districts the happy spirit of Wing opponents
will organize district conventions through
ont the stateendeavor to challenge the authority of
Gov Foote, 70 issue writs of general elections under
the existing aw-wil Glamour loud against the fraud
