The Yazoo Democrat., 1853-08-31

The Wing seems to think Governor Foote is
not the man 10 be silenced bv Gov Brown. or
any other democrat,-says that 8 Gov. Brown
would as soon shoulder his own poIiticical coffin
and beat a dead march to his own Secession
stained grave, as to travel the State and discuss
politics with Gov. Foote. The Wing makes
sport of our saying that Gov. Brown had so used
up Foote in debate that he sat dunn .fonudered,
and inimates that we are not telling facts. Read
the following extract from report Of a discuss
ion which took place in Greensboro during the
present canvass,--and the correctness of which
has never been denied by Foote or his friends,
though it has been published nearly all over the
State.-and then say neighbor, whether Foote
has not been dum-founiered by Gov. Brown.
The Governors determination plainly is to
t" rule or ruin" the Democratic party and his
policy 10 ruin it, now that he has ascertaIned be-
yond all controversy that he cannot rule it. is TO
divide it. In illustration o. his divide-and con-
quer' policy. in relation TO Democracy. we must
be permitted to sketch a scene which took place
between him and Governor Brown, ot Green's
boro,' Chickasaw county, in one of theirl late dis
cussons Gov. B. had selected for review in his
speech that portion of the Brooke & Botter's let
Ter which pronounced the rumor that he, Gov.
Fooie said it was the duty of the two wings of
| he Democrats now TO unite, for the purpose of
: fighting Whiegery," TO be "base calumny and
SANDER" when Gov. Foote arose and enquiredif il
/ Gov. Brown inleded to comment upon hat por-
ZION of the letter as proving that he, Gov. Foote
did not desire the union of the Democratic party2
| Gov Brown.-"Certainly do
Gov. Foote-ssThe letter does not so state. /"
Gov B.-Then, If the letter does not explic-
ltely state the fact, ask the gentleman if ne is
in favor OF union of the Democratic party, for
the purpose of fighting Whiggery?"
Gov answer. J
! Gov BIB Gov. Foote will now declare
himself in favor of union of the Democratic
party, or authorise me so to declare for him, for
the purpose of opposing the Wing party and
whig principles, pledge myself TO decline the
canvass and go home. | further pledge myself.
not even to finish the speech which | am now
making, nor will consent 20 have my name
used for The office of u. S. Senator now, or be-
fore The Legislature tits approaching session
nor before any legislative caucus or convention.
Gov. (silent.)
Gov. B.-ssIf Gov. Foote desires the union OF
| the Democratic patty, to oppose Whlgger he has
but so TO declare, and the thig is done for what
ever slight detection which may stilLexist in the
! party. arising out of the contest of 81, hold
Gov. Foote responsible. Will he now declare
tor the union of the Democratic party for the
object assigned, or viii he not 2"
Gov. (obstinately silent.
Gov. Brown then went on, after Gov. Foote
had read To lhe audience. the whole of The Brook
and Botter's letter, TO a review of such parts of
il as he deemed expeuience 10 show up His Ex-
cellencys divide and-eonquer policy, which was
done in manner too plainly to be mistaken :;
AMI his desertioE 10 the Wing standard which
| demonstrate 100 irrefutably to be questioned by
any impartial hearer."
