IMPORTED VOTERS!

lMFUHl ED vUIEhD.
CITIZENS OF YAZO0 BEwAREil!
We were surprised and disgusted to see 50 ma
ny strange faces Of Foreign Usage appearing on
our streets and talking about sVoting for De
mocracy." Let every freeman remember thatour
liberties depend upouthe inviolability Of the bal
lot box. Let them watch the. polls and permit
no man to vote who is not entitled to the right.
Many Irishmen we understand from reliable au-
thority have been imported in the County. Many
are engaged pulling Corn-digging bitches
working on roads. &C., &C., for the purpose Of
retaining them here in order that they may cast
Illegal votes. Shame upon party that win
resort to such base means Scorn upon the
white livered American who could consent for The
sake Of party, to pollute the ballot. box. Honest
men Of all parties will rise en- masse to strike
down the outrage. Let every American be at
The polls Let us not sleep without Sentinels nor
march without scout.
The attempt to impose this outrage Of perhaps
more than 200 illegal votes upnn the people Of
Yazoo win be hurled back with indignation by
Americans.

The late arrivals from the Isthmus bring cnee

ct from the highest to che lowest candidate.
The Citizen an American paper says:
The next mail will bear to our breathren in the
East and our brethren in the South, the glorious
tidings of the triumphant success of the American
party in California. Here our opponents cannot
deny that that we have gained great victory
that here we have routed the hosts of the enemy,
who had in their own hands the weapons of Off
cial power strengthened in four years service,
and for whose Generals and leaders, the national
administration has recently exhibited such new.
found love-. The result Of the California elections
will do more toward strengthening and rendering
firm the bond which unites the American party
in the Atlantic States that any event which could
have taken place. Occupying as we do eminent
y national position, undisturbed as we are by
the sectional difference which agitate and divide
the people Of the Atlantic States, our success
here willshow to them the policy of union, and
unltednnes OF action, the power which agitate and
divide the psople of the Atlantic States. our sue

and unitedness Of action, the power which the
great American party can WELD against its enc

Strength of the great principle underlying our or

hearts of our people.

Noticing Mr.. Berrien's letter, the Chicago
Democratic Press says: aWe may rest assured
that Mr.. Berrien's fears are not painfully excl
ted on account of the peril in which our anoble
system Of government" is placed by the influx
Of Foreigners. HE fears the rivalry Of free with
slave labor. He sees that an overshaeowiDg
North has grown up through the all-conquering
activity offree heads and hands. and That overy
foreigner who lands upon our shores isa fresh
ally in the noble work ofbuilding up fourishins
communities Of freemen.p
The Chicago Democrat unlike his brethrenin
the South, takes the true ground. EVERY
FOREIGNER WHO LANDS UPON OUR
SHORES Is A FRESH ALLY or THE
FREESoILERS.

Amendments to the Constitution.

1t is made the duty Of the Sheriff, to
furnish the Returning officers with copies Of the
statutes which propose amendments Of the Con-
stution: and the duty Of the returning officers to
ask the voter whether he votes for or against
each of the amendments. Yet the voter should
think and decide before hand on these important
questions, both 10 save time at the polls and to
vote understandingIy, instead OF guessing at his
decision, aud probably guessing wrong.

party prejudice aud political excitement, in judi

nable system OF Swapping votes which frequently
causes many or all offices to be filed by persons
who really are not the choice of the people and
to prevent many other abuses for which cannot

such men from the bench, and if the unlearned

The prize for watch the warrior, poet. and or

which win follow him to the grave, where all

Are Wo 10 have War with Spain.

From the language Of the Washington
Union Of The 7lh inst, We are Of the
opinion that the Cabinet at Washington
ad dpTehends that our difficulties with the
Cuban authorities may involve us in a
war with Spain 10 very short time
IL so, we hope that there will be ample
preparation made to meet IT. the irst
onset. as becomes the occasion. A pro-
ITacled war at our expense will be Who'll
ly unnecessary. Cuba in our possession
aud Spain could give US very little tToub'
lie. Without it, we should be placed Ia
the same category we were in, while in
the war with Mexico. Had our army
pushed TO the city of Mexico and taken
possession OF the capitol, the war would
from that hour have been at an end, so
far as fighting was concerned. with
Cuba in our possession. we would COM
mand the whole Gulf, and all other ma
vies would be driven from il except our
own, and there would really be an end
Of the war. While Cuba is in the pos
session of any European Government,
we shall never have peace for our com
merce in the Gulf,
IL takes no prophetic eye ID see this
aud the sooner an end is put to the tur.
moil, insults aud diplomacy in that Is
| land, the better. i! there is an occasion
for war, no time should be lost in meet
| ing il, and not all hours unnecessary de-
lay in taking possession Of that Island
Without it, we might have trouble en-
ough, and a ptotracIed wal. With il
we would not be assailed with impunity
and no European Government could stand
protracIed war or this side OF the At.
Ilsntic, and more especially Spain. Gu
ba in our possession, and negotiations
would be easy, without il our Govern
ment could not honorably negotiate al
all, She would be in worse fix than
the allied nations before Sebastopol
with peace Congress at Vienna.
II we are about getting into wal
with Spain, and surely there are reasons
enough for it, let us not diff into it b!
degrees, as though it were necessit!
With US but let the work be done as by
lthunderbolt, when not expected, and the
contes st will be brief and BRILLIANT
