our opponents deny it?
And the candidates Of what is termed the
re-organized democracy in Mississippi are
to be supported by our fellow-citizens. in
order to give strength and life and vitality
to an organization. such as we have des-
cribed, composed Of every discordant ma
terial, having in view nothing in common
but the spoils Of Office and the plumber of
the treasury, and held together by no polit-
ical affinity, save the powerful desire of par
ty ascendency. The idea with the leaders,
who control and manage this organization,
is, that the more ignorant people will fall
into ranks, without thinking Of the nature
or caring for the result of the contest, and
that they viii aid in their own destruction
by electing men to the highest Office Of the
State, who seek these Offices avowedly 10
bolster up the sinking fortunes of the Pre-
sident, his freesoil allies, and his national
organization.
Away, however, with an idea that would
thus degrade the high character Of the peo-
pie Of Mississippi. They aiA think and act
for themselves. They viii mark out and
pursue their own proud and proper course,
and leave it to time and results TO vindicate
its correctness. In an hour Of peril. when
the dark clouds OF disunion were threaten
ing to burst upon her, her patriot sons look
ed the danger calmly in the face, stood I'M
moved amid Che war Of fearful elements,
and at the ballot box declared the will ofthe
sovereign people, and hushed the roaring Of
the angry tempest The hour approaches
for her sons to act with the same decision,
with the same patriotism. with the same
fearless and unfaltering devotion to Il hat
{; dear to us rs citizens Of the Sol. !. and
members of tie great American Union.

we cand1lly confess tEatit excites our fears
and arouses our apprehensions when we see
the very men that rallied the disunion hosts
two years ago, now put forward for almost
every important Office in the State, and hear
the cry that s,,.h men mus be sus.ained IN
order TO Uphold The Prcsideat in his policy
