told She never will permit tyrant TO make his
footprints upon her SOIL without her placing before
her sons her coat of arms and showing them thus
their sres did. Yes sir the genius Of liberty win
put her heel upon the tyrants neck, and write
over it, !" Sic semper tyrannis."
My political orthodoxy has never been questioned
till since my advent into Mississippi, and thank
my God that by none here save the fre-eaters."
And now that my three score years and quarter
have been given me to see the triumph Of my
principles, it seems that the shadow upon the dial
of life has run back farther than that upon Ahaz
and this old stick feels like Aaron's rod, ready TO
bud again. God bless the American people Oh,
He has 80 signaly blessed them already by per-
hitting their political enemies be led by sedu-
cling spirits to believe lie and be politically lost.
For Sam has cleared the way, and on the fourth
Thursday Of May; they'll see that Shiloh has
come"
How thankful would be to be in the Old Do
minon to cast my vote for such public servants as
Flournoy Beale, and Patton--the noblest work
of God, honest men. The two last 1 have had the
honor to know well, and have known them long.
To have such men for public servants may well
make the suffragans of Virginia exult in patriotic
pride. But when we look at the other side Of the
picture, and see brothers recommending brothers
to dip daggers in others blood, we are ready to
ask for mercy for them. They are in darkness,
because they hate their brothers, and know not
what they do. How it sorrowed my old heart to
see that party rancor in the bosom of William +.
Richie should find Judgment long enough to
prompt a blow at a fathers ashes, through the
person of so good man James Madison Hill
Beale. Oil Father of Mercies! forgive him, he
William +. Ritchie) knew not what he did
The Americans of Mississippi are ready to shout
with their brethren East, West, North, and South,
that Sam has been here, too, making the rough
ways smooth for the coming Of Shiloh, when the
sceptre is to depart from Judah" But ever and
anon give us cheering bugle note from the
Organ, for here the battle will be hottest and
hardest fought-every Paixhan-gun orator in the
ranks of the fire eaters, down to the little pistol
caliber and road politician will be loaded to the
muzzle with fasehood and fury against the Ameri-
organization but it won't all avail for, mark
it, the potential arm of Sam will lay them low.
But think not unkindly of Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Pierce-it's struggle for the plank-especially SO
with the former--in Mississippi All but our
brothers, that are yet in darkness admit that this
administration is the most imbecile and weak since
the organization of the government.
Poor Pierce, If he had carried out the Compro-
mise measures Of 1850, the American heart would
not have been SO upheaved with indignation and
modification at his acts As it is only the benef-
Charles OF executive patronage, and those who
the collar Of party fcalty, as Gurth. the born
thrall of Cedric the Saxon" did for the spoils the
high priests and young high priests of these latter
day saints in the Democratic faith, are all that are
sustaining the present administration. But for
JEFF. Davis it would be kicked out Of Mississippi,
and he can't save it. but win sink with it. for he has
not yet crushed the Union Democrats
AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
