The Democrat seems determined to find a
bill of indictment against US on every sentence
we utter. Weremarked that the ladies' who
favor the American party are highly adorned
with the virtue of modesty.' This, the Demo-
crat thinks, and very justly "either meant some-
thing or it did not. II itmeant nothing, then"
we were "guilty of using unneanins language,
or idle words at the least. Neighbor, athou
reasonsonest well.n Thus far, neither Plato,
nor Aristotle, Bacon, Whately or Mill, could
arrive at more just conclusions. If the language
we used meant nothing, then we used unmeaniHg
language. But lift meant any thing, then We
insinuated "that the ladies who favor the Demo
cratic cause are less highly adorned with modesty
than those who favorn our Gown peculiar dog

dicamepts he leaves us to explain our own Ian

First, we viii say that our language needs no
explanation, except to persons determined to
misunderstand it, and an explanation to them
seems useless. viii our neighbor deny that

not, then we may assure this as true. Is, then,

: A grand American demonstrations came off al
Benton on the goth and 2ist inst Early on the
morning Of the 10th, the citizens of Yazoo city
were reused from their slumbers by the scundsUf
cannon; and by 8 o'clock the process
sion was formed within few sniles of Benton,
under the command Of those sterling Americans,
G. Hellingsworth, Marshall, and A. C. Nye, as
sistant. A fine band Of music was 10 front, with
carriages and hofsemen forming the long line while
every where floated the Star Spangled Banner.
inst behind the music car, We noticed an eie-
CANT vehicle, fitted up in alnost tasteful manner,
designed, we understand, by our friend Charles
Pearcy;sit was called the !. Young America" In
front was the American Eagle, and behind
foated our beautiful Banner. . A prouder
procession could not have been formed, while
from the rear, ever and anon, sounded the roar of
artillery. At 10 o'clock the procession entered
Benton, and proceeded to the beautiful grounds
prepared for the concourse. There every thinG
was on d scale commensurate with the occasion
already the ground was occupied by multitude

Of course, for Longstreet Is against the Ameri-

! But our Vice chancellof, in his speech the

submit whether there Is not an equal improprie-
