M1ssIssPr1-TrTH DISTRICT.


Giles M. HilIyer, Esq, editor Of the Natchez
Carrier. has been selected as the American
candidate for Congress in the Fifth Congressional
District Of Mississippi, by the nominating COM
mittee, to fill the place vacated by the declina-
ton Of the Hon. E. j. Goode.
When the American Convention met at Fass
Christian, the nomination was rendered to MT
Il. He refused to accept it, and urged the Sc
lection of another. As 1t was not Known posi-
lively whether Mr.. Goodies private business
would allow him to 60 to Congress, the Conyen-
t;on wisely determined to provide against the
contingency by appointing an alternate. The
cho;ce unanimously fell upon Mr.. Hillyer; and
be finally agreed to take the matter under con-
sideration.
Mr. Goode having, in very patriotic but de-
cided manner, declined the nomination, the
committee forthwith communicated with Mr..
Hillyer, and insisted upon his acceptance. He
did SO, in very handsome letter, the conclu-
sion Of which we subjoin:
accept then, gentlemen, the position thus assigned
by the Convention OF the American party OF this Dis
trictnot without great dstrust of my competency to
sustain the glorious in which are engaged but
with full determination at least to endeayor to perform
my whole duty and with trustfui hope, that, be the
Issue Of the contest what it may may be- enabled per-
sonaly to preserve throughout the confidence OF my
friends and the respect Of opponents and that when
the struggle over the American party may have seen
little in their candidate that has jeopardzed their t
umph and that political opponents shall nave no
cause to attribute either the use Of the tricks or
sratagens of political warfare the indulgence OF any
spirit Of personal dstracton or dennnoiation.
Our friend Hillyer is an able, eloquent, and
dignifsd speaker. The American cause is safe
in his hands, He will uphold its banner faith
fully and nobly; and that he, together with
the cause, will emerge VIGOROUSLY from the
canvass in November next, We have hardly the
shadow of doubt
AS Mr.. Hillyer will be compelled to pass
through the city several times, We presume, to
visit the lower portion of his District lying on
the Gulf coast, would it not be good policy on
the part of the Executive Committee to invite
him to sneak on some suitable occasion

HI'he Reign of Ruffianism,"

Under this head the sapient True Delta has seen lit to
assa by usnuaion the recently elected Judge of the
Second District Court. 1t says:
At the recent judicial election in this place for the
choice OF Judge fill the Judgment seat Of the Court Of
the Second District it is calledmany
citizens resident for twenty past
upon one pretext another the polls native
and ADOPTED alike though not OF course IN equal proper
TONS their right indicate their preferences for one
other OF the candidates who for some time to to dis
pense where or later the affairs Of
aost every citizen have to be adJudcated being rudey
nfedn
Now, the True Delta knows might have known that
this statement is utterly groundess and untrue It
knows-or 1t wiuly and perversey jgnorantthat no
election ever took place in New Orleans, at the polls Of
which there was quiet and ORDER and fairness, and
deeency than prevailed at the election alluded to- There
were no crowds around any of the preeincsthere was
no runkenness-there was no blaokguardsm there
no "rudsnism apparent anywhere throughout the day
On the contrary the election remarkable for the alb
sence of these usual concomitans The right Of citizens
to indicate their preferences for one or other OF the can
didatesh in no case restrained neither was their
right "rudey Questioned dsgraeefuily wckedly and
illegally deniedn know hundreds OF our most respecta
Bile citizens who establish the truth OF what have
said and honestly believe that the True Delta cannot
adduce one oa of proof in support Of its reckless asser
lions,
would seem that the True Del tas frequent sermons
about fairness and honesty of action and Of purpose
were all pretense and miserable Alterations when
1t permits itself thus causelessy to misstate facts.
Just at this time there peculiar wickedness and
want Of magnanimty in this statement The honorable
gentleman who has been chosen for the udgshp of the
Second District Court is about entering upon the duties
Of his Office His hands are therefore fettered Besides
such articles do good and are calculated to do
much harm
is wicked and unjust for public Journalist, at any
time to attempt to destroy the confidence of the people
in the Judiciary of the country and 1t is especially
wicked and unjust in this instance to attempt to throw
dstrust upon gentleman whose capacities and ability
are about being tried and thus to oresta public opinion
by gross and unfounded insinuations.
The character of Judge Morgan for learning and legal
requirements for high honor and answering integrity,
is known to host of apprscatvs and discriminating cit
liens of New Orleans, and may be known to the True
Delta if its editors will only take the pains to inquire
1t is not for me to defend Judge Morgan. He needs
no defence, personally professionally only felt 1t
duty to answer article the temper and spirit Of which
no good man can approve and which, uncontradicsed

TIE LOUISVILLE RIoTs.-The Committee on
Police of the Common Council of the city of
Louisville, appointed to examine into and as
certain the origin and cause of the recent riots,
lately made report to the Council on thu sub
ject, which was unanimously adopted. That
report expressly declares that the murderous
attacks which led to the fearful scenes that fol-
lowed were made by the foreigners upon the
Americans! We shall endeavor to find room for
portions Of the report to; morrow.
1t seems to us that proofs like these, sustained
by the numerous affidavits which have been
published, showing the origin of the difficulty,
should be sufficient to arrest the wholesale
charges of murder, arson and other crimes, now
indiscriminately made against the Americans
AL who do not hold to the belief that the word
native is equivalent to that of assassin will do
SO.
That judicial examination will show that
Americans were shot down first, there seems no
possibility Of doubt And that. in the over
whelming passion engendered thereby, they
vent too far afterwards, is equally free of ques-
ton. The main blame lies upon the first she'd
ders Of blood. Let them be found out and there
will be no difficulty in arriving at correct
judgment

The Louisville Courier, in speaking Of the late

One of the most melancholy circumstances connected

Of this is found in that juvenile senmentaty

The Louisville Courier, and all papers con-
curing in sentiment with it, should have
thought of these " bitter fruits before they
so,eed the seed. 1t i'll becomes the husbandman
to cast slurs upon crops of his own raising.
We, however, entertain no apprehensions Of

noble q one as wasever gathered from the moral
vineyard of nature; and while we firmly believe
that there are from million and half to two
millions of young men in the United States, be-

who will, as soon as they arrive at the legal
age-conae aohat nlay-compel the adoption Of
