Union Bank Bonds.

Col. ]. D. Cobb, who heads the Wing legislative
ticket in this county, stated in of his speeches.
that the Union Bank Bonds constituted AN HONEST AND
CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT AGAINST THE STATE OF M1ss1s-
srrr1 and that he UOted to pay them while member of
the legislature.
If the debt is honest and constitutional which we
deny, he ought to favor its payment. If he cannot
pay 1t now, he ought to be willing to recognize it and
make provision to meet it hereafter. Believing it to
be an honest and constitutional debt if the proposition
is made in the next Legislature to recognize it as
Such he will be compelled in preserving his conssten
cy, TO vote for it. In view of the decisions of the
Courts against the State, effort will be made in the
next legislature, to vndcae her honor and integrity
And how By declaring the Bonds fraudulent and
unconstitutional and setting forth the reasons that i'm
pei the people to reject them This much is due to
he nuioabte Of the constitution and the rights of the
people, and the people will expect and require their
representatives to speak and act boldly. Col Cobb
believes that they not fraudulent nor unconstitu-
ona, but that they honest and Constitutional and
hence, he could not if elected Join with the friends
the people, declaring them fraudulent and unconsti
tutional.

that their position the Union Bank Bond question is

fused to do, and still refuse. Come answer now
and let us understand you fully Doyou not believe
that the Union Bank Bonds are honest and constitu

them and make provision for their payment hereafter
Donot refuse to answer and say that you misun

Position of Parties.
politics.

There are only two political organizations in
this State. The one sustains President Pierce
and co-operates with the national organization that
rallies around his administration. The other OPP
poses the President and refuses to act with the ma
tional organization of his party friends. The
former is the democratic, while the latter is the
wing organization,
The true friends of the President are found in
the democratic ranks while his open enemies and
pretended friends, are banded together in the OPP
position columns. The effect of Stale organiza-
ton is always felt in national contests. Destroy
Che State and to that extent, the National organi-
glon is weakened. The preservation of the
greater depends upon the success and entirety OF
the smaller organization third party must
weaken the two already existing. The foun lation
ola Union parry in this State would be sectional,
and in proportion to its strength necessarily dan
yerous to the union of the States.
such party would weaken the administration,
by drawing to it some of the friends the regular
democratic organization. Such party was form
ed in 81 to stop the slavery agitation, and the ba
sis Of settlement was acquiescence in the compro
mise
Acquiesee was incorporated into the democrat
ic platform and there is no distinctive creed upoI
which Union party be based. There is NJ
sense in forming Union party in '5l-declarln3
that the compromise shall be a final settlement o
the slavery question, and in 53-trying to form
another Union party, for the purpose Of keep
ing up tie agitation IN reference to the same sub
ject The attempts only made by designing dem
agogues to get into office. Whoever depends 70
his election upon a distinctive Union organization
will be left at home to enjoy the sweets of Privat
life. No such can, or does at this time, exist i
this State.
