fishing and hunting, will get along as usual
but the Mississippi Indians who to great
extent have turned their attention to agri-
culture, will not have the. first bushel Of corn

Mr.. De La vergne 70 the Editor Of the Times
Some days ago, the Times announced that
Hon. A. +. DE la Yergne, of LIE Seuer coun-
ty, was Republican. We had the pleasure
of meeting this gentleman a few days ago,
and he requested US to inform Mr.. Ncwson
that the assertion was incorrect; and, fur
thermorc, that (Mr. De La Vergne) had vo-
ted for every Democrat from jackson down
to Pierce, inclusive and that, God willing, q
ballot-box convenient and all things fitting
he would by one vote, help swell Buck and
Breck's majority in November next. re-
Ifthis is not sufficiently explicit, the Times
editor will have to apply personally to Mr.
~ We think that unnecessary. We will
only copy a note which Mr.. De La Yergne
sent to us last winter, and which was pub.
lished in the Times of 1aBaary IS. In that
note Mr.. De La Vergnc said:
"Althoueh am FREE SOILER---oppos-
ed to the extension Of Slacry IN ece,y form, and
Jeliere IL tie duty Of Congress to prolibit the in
PRODUCTION Of IL into the Territories by laso, see
nothing in that report that would cause one
to vote against it." s1ee
Again he says: SIS eHef ~
GAN the States and Territories she uld have
fundamental law, and this law hold should
prohibit the introduction of Slavery into the
Territories" .. fl seiE s4i E
Perhaps we were mistaken in saying that
Mr.. De La Vergne is a Republican, but il
the above is not Republican doctrine then
we don't know what is. In the coming cam
paign it behoovcs the Republicans of LIE Seuel
county to look well to it that wolves do moi
creep into sleeps clothing, and thereby OBJ
tain offices Of trust and emOlumeDt they de-
not deserve. "a FREE SOILER holding ar
Office under Pierce!" That Will do. Trot
out Mr. De La vergnc again, Mr.. Pioneer
and let us take a good look at him. Times
