"NoscITuR A socIIs.n

We have seen in some Virginia, and in other
southern papers, protesting to be democratic,
quotations from the National Era, the aboli-
ton organ, and original publisher Of Uncle
Toms Cabin, published in this city. These
quotations have been made to prove that the
attempt to "crush out" the national demo
Gratis of New York, by committing the admin
istration to the fortunes of the softs, was right
proper and praiseworthy.
An abolition journal quoted as authority in
the south! Quoted by papers protesting to be
democratic! Win the. honest masses of the
south tolerate such an enormity? We appeal
to them to rouse themselves from their leth-
argy-to rebuke the papers that would thus
degrade them and their party. Has it come
to this, that the insane rawlings Of an abolition
journal, are to be copied and endorsed by south
ern papers? The south will soon find out the
game that is playing. When abolition sheets
condemn the "hardsH and endorse the "softs,'
the question between the two divisions is made
manifest enough. When abolition papers ex-
tol the "softs'' of New York, can the south
longer doubt that these soits are themselves
freesoilers and her bitterest enemies? We say
to the south, "awake, arise, or be forever
fallen.r
A True View of the New York Question.
That sterling democratic paper, the Daily
Enquirer, published at Evansville, Indiana,
speaking of the recent election in New York,
makes the following pertinent and forcible re-
marks:
The success of the hards'' of New York has
settled. the question as to which faction pre-
dominates in that State. With all the patron
age, all the influence of party organization
swayed by unprincipled leaders brought to
bear against them, it is now certain that the
true democratic party has outvoted the Van
Burentes. If this be the result in New York,
what will it not be in this conservative State
OF Indiana and what in the south? What will
IT be IN the middle States, which are so much
devoted to the Union by their geographical po-
sition and their antecedents? Who can doubt
that a vast majority of the democratic party is
in favor of that wing which has never swerved?
Who is to act the part of reader now and read
men out of the party? 1t would be curious
anomaly certainly for minority to say that
majority We're not democrats? 1t would be a
wonderful triumph of clique and scheming if
those who predominant in numbers, in talents,
and IN purity should be banished by half do
zen traitors! Let the freesoilers wait a while
longer-let them prove by acts their repentance
and we will be willing for them to return But
they must not expect for some years to occupy
the high places in the synagogue-the com
moners bench is their place now They must
find out that "Jordan is hard road to travel"
before they can resume all the privileges Of the
righteous.

Mr.. Muse, tEle Secession Candidate
for Secretary or state.

It has been said that the caucus system
throws to the surface the scum or socfei,
This is exemplifed in the case Of the PR
sent secession candidate for Secretary Of
State. Except that he comes before the peo-
pie heralded by that most corrupt system,
he would not receive five hundred votes in
Mississippi; but we suppose, in accordance
with tie usage Of that party, he will receive
its entire support. Public opinion and pub
lie action-the privilege Of thought and
reason, has been surrendered to the tyran-
nous behest of King Caucus, and men whesc
characters stand blackened and begrimed IN
the eyes of the.moral and the virtuous, whcu
backed by the caucus system, receive TIC
votes OF freemen for Office.
w II. Muse is a candidate for Secretary
of State and we believe be will get the vote
OF his party though he only merits the scorn
and contempt Of every gentleman in the
land. When the charge was first made that
Muse HAD ATTACHED his MOTHERS PROPHET
FOR BOARD, DURING A VISIT TO His
HOUSE, we did not believe that human
nature could have fallen so low-becomc so
stepped in the depths of degradation. We
believed the charge could be so explained
as TO save him from the scorn and contempt
of all men. By Muses. oaon confession tie
charge Is truei He admitted in his speech
at CarrOlton, that part Of the debt on which
the attachment was founded, was for board.
Yet, we predict that thus man, so lost to all
shame, to all the natural impulses Of nature,
to all sense of honor, love, filial affection,--
ibis monster, who should be branded with
burning scorn, and hung as high as Hannah
upon the gibbet of public contempt, will re-
ceiye hearty support at the hands Of the
secession party Canton Citizen.

who stood by the Union in the perilous days

pie and the embodiment Of that principle.
Gen. Foote stood amid sea Of upturned
faces densely packed about the stand
Mighty pOwer-tliat Of eloquenee. That

by the rivers side-now in laughter, now
with scorn, now with contempt, now with
patriotism, at the speakers various moods,

Perhaps it was the place glorious old Tish
oming with her 1900 Union majority-the
large assemblage, OF the responsibility as
the advocate Of an holy and just cause-be

Like the rushing Of an impetuous river
came an irresistible flow of argument that
broke down The bulwarks Of prejudice. the
cob-webs of sophistry, and carried convic-
ton to the minds of all in strains Of elo-
quence that took the heart BY storm. For
two hours he held the audience smell bound

YOU are hereby cited to be and appear be-

there to show cause, if any you can, why
an order should not be made for the sale of the

MoRE CnAHaEs. We are authorized to
state upon the testimony Of a reliable gem
tleman from Tishomingo.t that ". H. Tyson,
candidate for State Senator in that county,
formerly opposed to Gov. FoOte, has ceased
his opposition and pledged himself, if elect
ed, to vote for Foote for u S. Senator. Mr.
Wood, Of Desoto county, nominated by the
State Rigs party for the Legislature upon
condition that he would 60 into Legislative
Caucus, has reconsidered the matter and
Withdrawn from the ticket. It is impossi-
bic for Us to conceive how any man, not
blinded BY prejudice or self cOnceit. can any
longer doubt the Overwhelming triumph of
Foote and the Union party

The accounts of the progress Of his can
vass are most cheering. The vast differ
ence between him and his competitor is SO
manifest,-he is so far the superior Of Mr..
Singleton in mind and information as a de-
batter, -that scarcely doubt need be en-
tertained Of his election. Mississippi stands
peculiarly in need of such representative
at this time She wants representative
who will expose, in bold and mastery
manner, the corruptions that boil and bub
bic in the public stew at the Federal City.
One, who, when he takes his seat, will rank
with the first intellects of that body, or the
land His ability no one can doubt, his de-
votion to the interests Of the State no one
can question, his patriotism has been proven
in other fields than those merely political;
the honorable scars on his body, his man
gled hand, are living witnesses of his pat
riotism and his devotion to his country and
its honor. That same patriotism which
shone so brightly on the field Of battle, will
shine as fair in the National Councils, the
same quickness of perception and sound
judgment, achick 8aved tie Mississippi Reg
imept at Monterey, will mark his action while
in Congress. But for his quickness Of per-
ceptiOn, and good judgment. at Monterrey,
the Mississippi Regiment would have been
destroyed. If he had no other claim but
this, to the sulfrages of his fellow-citizens,
it shouldsentitle him to their warm and gem
erous support. We appeal to the Union
men of this District, of this county,-come
up strongly and manfully in his behalf; let
not the whispers of his opponents, or objec-
tons of personal nature, magnifed and
distorted by lying rumor until they bear no
semblance of truth, prevent you from Civ
ing him your vote. We tell you, Union men
of Madison, if you do your duty you can
elect him, land he viii serve you as faithfully,
as boldly and as truly as he has ever done
in any station in which he has been placed
TO our Wing friends we would say, in times
past he has battled for your cause, diligently,
hfully and bold, without the prospect of
fee or reward,-for those principles which |
be and you believed would most rebound
to the prosperity of the country,--and will
you not now come up most cheerfully to Ills
support? To the Union Democrats, we tell
them in his own language, the old issues
are passed by, buried and forgotten; he
plants himself on the principles of the Pre-
sident's Inaugural Address, which is not
of by any Of the party opposed
to him,-and gives his heart and hand to
the cause Of the gallant leader Of the Union
party Of the State We feel assured you
viii give him your support, as your breth-
rem in the Eastern part Of the District are
doing. There, the Union party are as firm /
y united as in 185l,--as firm of purpose
determined Of action-with hearts resolv !.
ed and hands prepared, to adhere to and
stand By the men and measures Of that par
ty whose platform Of principles was-The
Union and Consultation of our fathers.
