The weekly American banner. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1855-18??, 1855-11-16

Yas,o County bears OF the palm ii the late

we feel confident that II the Presidential election
was coming of In sixty days Instead of twelve
mouths, the reaction in favor Of the American
cause Is so strong,we would carry the State by
an overwhelming majority. The frauds, the

ted our ticket by 226-and but for the rain which
bowed in torrents the two days ofthe 6lection, it
would lave been 350. there was much hard
work done. We had to contest every inch Of
ground with the Antics. If those counties that
helped give our defeat in the State { link they
could have done q well as we with the same kind
ofmaterial they are mistaken. Every county 10
the State is American, and the fault lies in some
cases in over confidence, and In others the want
Of energy. Thu old Democratic party was nm
scrupulous enough. and we are not one to pay
bottles, hypocritical compliments to . dead foe,
but the present Sag NIGHT party with which the
American party OF this State has to contend, know:

1t would be invidious to give praise to a few
where so many deserve it--and all cannot b,
mentioned, who have worked nobly for us dur
ing our late struggle. Our orators have don.
their duty, but some who have made no public
speeches, have done as much good as those tina

victory in this county, was all pulled together
We have had our trials too--and occasional,
painful in sights into the selfshness of human
nature. In the words of s.. Paul, we have ha,
trials bv land and by sea and MT few by falls

beef that made tneir broth from both sides of tn,
Border, and some went out from US altogethe
because they were not of us--but we ca ne through
} it all, and are now determined to maintain on
, ground. We call most earnestly on the mem
bers Of the American party throughout the State
not to disband, or be discouraged. We are vii
ling to own that the enemy we have to conten
with is powerful. not from principles, for it ha
none--it commits ell manner Of political sins i
the potent name Of Democracy. The peopl
want light and it is the mission Of the great A

Missionaries 10 the cause of patriotism, shout
