would most earnestly impress upon the Ameri-

and tortoise; they started for race: the hare

the race, and the tortoise crspt up to the goal
before him. The ticket we present for your
support. ID good one. The gentlemen who
compose Il. are modest American citizens, and
would not thank their Supporters to make heroes
OF them, ad oapiandum cuigus And though we
have no doubt that We have many Village Ham,
dens and mute iuglorious Millions among Us, we
have great antipathy to the biographies of
living worthless. One Of the seven wise men of
Greece, said that no mans life ought to be called
happy till he was dead; later Sayan has Civ

written while he lives. Especially Of polti-
cian;in these stirring times who knows how great
men are going to turn out! Those who composed
the Tsp and Ty songs Of 40 and named children
JOHN TYLER, changed the boys names and sung
the songs on the other sides of their mouths,
before year was out. We do not make heroes
Of our candidates. But we hope no American
will withhold his vote from their support for that
reason. II 10 useless for the luke warm to say
that il il not political election. Everybody
knows that the Sag NIGHTS are united to a man

say that il they carry the the election in Yazoo
City, the County is lost to the Americans. And
we tell you, the vote of Yaxoo County last

the Democracy. This County has the glory of
sending Mr.. Lake to Congress, and as Mr.
Brooke said in his speech in the State House mt
the American Convention, though the Democ-

1.-THE Americans here or anywhere else, think
to gain strength by yielding part of their princi-
pie, they are mistaken. The American party
was based on opposition to foreigners holding
any political or municipal Offices; not that some
of the foreigners are not good citizens and wor'
thy Of trust but this was, and is the issue between
Us and the Sag NIGHTS. Our principles are good
they are patriotic. they are just, and no loss, nc
perls from open opposition or covert foes ,shoule
make US desert them. We say with the immor

give my heart and hand to this measure"
