A word to wings and Union DEM
crffa.


Gratis.
The price Of good government is eternal
Isigienee; and as it is well worth it no man.
who values bis liberty should be found want
ing in vigilance IN such canYass,as the
present. This is contest between Conser-
yatism on the one hand, and Radicalism on
the other between the Secessionists who
are supporting McRae. and the Union men
who support Judge Rogers. There is no
avoiding this issue, however The Secession
its may seek to shield themselves under the
mantle Of Democracy But two years ago,
McRac and the mass ofhis present support
ers were open and ayowed Seeessionists,
which IS but another name for Revolution
and Disunion,
They have never, on any occasion since,
renowned or repudiated single principle
they then put forth, Finding, however, that
they and their principles were obnoxious to
the people, they now seek to obtain power
by proclaiming themselves Democrats "a
party name which they repudiated in their
zeal for Secession and Disunion; and only
now avail themselves of it TO obtain power.
That accomplished, they viii claim il as a
triumph of Secession and Disunion, a direct
approval, by the people of Mississippi, of
their fayorite scheme. Let the people re-
| fleet and besadmonished, ere they commit
themselves TO the support Of such men and
such measures.
| Opposed 10 these men and thesemeasures,
| is Hon F. NJ. RocERs, whose sterling pat
riolisn and unyielding devotion to Conser-
yatism and The Union. are familiar to every
intelligent mind in Mississippi. lie stands
forth now, as he has ever done. the uneom-
promising friend Of the Constitution and
the Union. and the yigilant and jealous op-
ponent Of the mad schemes of the Seces-
sionists.-He has never faltered in his OPP
position to such measures; and the Conser-
yative men owe it to themselves, their prin-
eiples and their country, to give him cor
dial and hearty support-to elevate him to
the Executive Chair of Mississippi.
To the Wings and Union Democrats we
would say, that vigilance, ENERGY and bold
ness in the present contest should character
ize our course. All the information we get
from abroad, is cheering; and though the
Secessionists have changed their name, to
bring back 10 their aid Union Democrats,
whose efortsjn years past, gave them sue
cess, We have every confidence that Union
Democrats viii refuse TO act with those who
repudiate them as Democrats, and whom
they were compelled in 81, to quit and bat
Etle against, TO save their county We think,
true and genuine STATE Rights Wings, who
were acting with them, with high motives
of miseonceiyed patriotism, viii not now
follow them into the democratic ranks. Such.
we believe. will be found with us in the
support of our distinguished candidate,
against him who has been the virulent de
famer of our ancient and konored principles
and men.
We repeat then, be vigilant- perform
your duty, your whole duty, TO yourselves,
your principles, and your country.

Our little town was thrown into quite a fever

port that a man had died 'among u.s. of yel-

fever among us or not, is anxiously asked by
everybody one meets. We believe It is now

On the contrary, the place is as healthy as it
ever has been at this. season OF the year. Our
citizens who have marched up the hill" viii

The Temperance Movements Of tic


We can oppose no scheme for the suppress
sion of intemperance that we believe to be
practicable We believe that in this cause
might is right. There can be no valid objec-
tions to any measure Of moral suasion or Of
Legislative Inhibition, saw such as are based
upon its impfacticability 81 premature introduce
ton. That drunkness is in itself the greatest
evil existing ii the world, and the sousce Of the
larger portion Of all other evils, we firmly be-
lieye; that it's victims should be by persuasion
and compulsion restrained in their career, we
as firmly believe; and that the privileges Of all
who minister to the drunkards Appetite by yend-
ing the liquid that destroys him, should at once
be revoked, is with us equally matter of belief.
We have only to ask, can you accomplish these
things! If SO, God speed you in the work!
The friends of Temperance in Mississippi
are contemplating vigorous and decided move
ment. We hope that they may survey the field
with circumspection, that they may rightly es-
innate their own numerical power and that oil
their opponents, and that no false or premature
movement shall be permitted to disparage theiI
cause. To act efficiently, they must act wise.
" and together; first unanimously agreeing
amongst themselves what they can do, and then
performing it with all their might, with lltheir
souls, and with all their strength. IL they can
enact the Maine Law let them do it without fail
Iif they cannot, let them have the Holmes -coun-
ty law, or some law similar. La orr opinon
the Maine Law will yet live upon the statute
books Of our State. Its enactment is no dnbi-
Gus event The time alone lies concealed in
the future II is our earnest prayer that that
time may be near. But neor.or far, it will AZ.
rive and surround US with its blessings. Let
US be steadfast in our hopes, and comtant in
our efforts Let US also take courage from tie
experience Of others. The Maine lev has
