The Port Gibson reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 185?-1857, 1853-07-27

1he able and sagaciOus Miles, the courtly
Lake, the chiyalric Starke, the astute john
ston, the downright Adams. the federal
iandell, and the imperturbable Yerger con-
stituted Wing phalanx which bore down all
opposition. And the mongrel men, the no
party men, the independent men, and the anti
caucus men, the Foote- Clark Democratic
wing men, are now roofing about like
true-blue little Wing pigs, and no mistake.
They "squealed" like all wrath, but they
had to come it, and We have the true-blue
ticket above given.
On Tuesday the nominations were made all
at once. Mr.. johnson announced that he
adjourned the evening previous very sadly,
but he said there had been a compromise.
That compromise meant where one man gave
up something and anoti er side yielded some
other thing to attain common end; that
while every thing did not suit, yet for the
wing cause there was a compromise. The
Rev. Mcdowell, who was very "low down
IN his notions on Monday, was put mp for
Treasurer. Mr.. Foote also turned up for
Attorney General. He said it was "liying
Ia dying sacrifice to ruin him, but he
wanted to toat the Democratic party on
hearse in November. lie is a likely young
man, has fne eyes and wears immense shirt
o1lars.
This is what the Convention did do. They
did not endorse Henry S. Foote. They did
not endorse the Rev. VIM Clark, but threw
him overheard. Poor old General We
have not the slightest ill-will towards him, nor
would we harm him in any way With his
own best friends, we can only mourn his hu-
initiating position, on Monday, and regret
that he should throw himself upon those who
are alien to all the principles he once so
warmly espoused. They did not adopt Gen.
Pierce or his inaugural They denounced
him, and opened the war on his Administra-
tiOn. They raised the Wing Banner. and
opened the fight which they hope to result in
the elevation Of Wing PRINCIPLES in the person
of Mr. Everett, in 1856.
The nominees were then duly called 10 the
stand, to accept the honor conferred upon
them. The Hon. Francis NJ. Rogers first ap-
peared. We were very much disappointed.
His speech was a rare failure, and rare for its
extent and completeness. But still the Judge
is UerY handsome, and his bow is magnificent.
It is the very poetry of motion" :" but alas
his mouth wouldn't ego off" He, however,
will, doubtless, do better hereafter but if he
don't, we are afraid that we viii have to class
him with Bulwer's pet-AIr. Ferdinand Fitz-
roy. Ills sponsors tried him at every thing,
and he failed, and finally they voted him "too
handsome for any thing" and sent him to
Coventry.
Mr. Russell, the snorting canvasser
for Scott, lately Independent and now Wing
nominee for Auditor, we suppose has conclu-
ded not te sell out, and to run on. He acted

could not sell their principles at their own
price or at any body elses. Perhaps so.-

side, would not make Dams estate, in politi-
cal principles, "go off,"
Mr.. Foote very coyly agreed to be the At
torney, but said he was just going out to let
the people know Frank " was a candidate.
lie said " Frank was some among the
boys. that he called them Bill and Tom, and
it got a heap Of votes in the Chickasaw coun-
try. lie then looked grandly at the Conyen-
ton for some moments, and-sat down.
In our next issue we shall lay before the
people the whole action of the Convention
We have now before us Wing ticket cut
and out, with Wing principles inscribed on
its folds. The path before the Democracy Is
now plain. Every man must be at his post.
We have an old-fashioned Bank, Bond, Wing
and Democratic fight before US. Let the old
line of Democracy rally, and the day is ours
by ten thousand majority. With an exultant
sense of coming triumph, we enter upon the
battle. Let our candidate take the field.
The way is now clear. Ifw carry the day,
our victory is complete If We are beaten,
we will know who did it, and our glorious
Democracy, which ever rises under disaster,
will know their enemy, and be better pre-
pared for the future which awaits US.
