"Clnton Is the most talented, the most eloquent,
the most gifted man In the state OF Mississippi
He Is, wherever he goes, building up prodigious
reputation. He Is the second Prentiss of Missis-
sippi, and l predict that, before this campaign
closes, his reputation win be national He has
met nearly all the distinguished anti American
speakers and demolished them Clinton is young,
brave as jackson, and very handsome. He is said
by many TO resemble Prentiss in person, and he is
little il any, inferior to him in all the elements Of
oratory."

HImportsnt from Washingtsn.
The Washington correspondent Of the New

declared to-day that Gov. Reader should be
sustained, let the consequences be what they
may. "--Dm6uqwe Express. ..s--.- =
This is, Of course, the tactics since the Vir-
GINA election is passed. Janus now puts on
bis Northern face; and by his clownish antics
thinks TO awaken the plaudits of that portion
Of the National audience north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Virginia has elected a broken
winded Wing renegade as Democratic Gov
ernor; and now for Pennsylvania Ohio, New
York, dc. Reeder shall be sustained, let the
consequences be what they may. "Dave Atch-
ison the boon companion, politically and
socially. Of Pierce and Douglas-the border
brigand chief of Missouri; elevated less than
two years ago to the Office of Tice President
OF the United States by che patronage and in
huence of this same Pierce and Douglas Ad-
mnistration, is now an 8. arch demagogue "a
" Know-Nothing," (see st. Paul Democrat of
Tuesday, and the President says Reeder shall
be sustained Valiant President, let us see you
sustain him. As celebrated character in Ro-
man history once remarked to menial,--
I" Slave! why didst thou not do the deed, and
then come and tell me it was done-not that
you could have done it," .....,..
No sensible man at the North will be deceiv-
ed by any such irresponsible pledge. Reeder
is powerless The Legislature of Kan as, cleo
ted by armed cut-throats from Missouri, will
establish Slavery in that Territory, even over
the Governors veto. The only safe Northern
ground is to strike home at the root of the evil.
The people of the North must see that the game
be checkmated at all hazards. The fact should
be kept in view, that the chief organ of Pierce
the Washington Union---boldly sided with
the Mlssourians before the Virginia election.
We have shown this fact in these columns by
quoting one of the Unions articles at length
Let us not be deceived by. the shallow. irres.
ponsible prating of an imbecile President,
whose name is acommon by-word in connection
with duplicity and deception. even in the
mouths of men of his party in Minnesota, who
publicly express themselves his admirers.
The day has come when the North must look
out for herself--when good and practical men
of all former party associations must prepare
to stand by her principles and future veal.
With an Administration which is bound hand and
foot and delivered over to the Slave oligarchy,
the North can have no sympathy. The motto
is. "Down with them aud with all their base
attempts to enchain the Free North in eternal
bondage!"
