OUR STATE TICKET.

The Convention. after some trouble and con.
fusion, finally got to business, and fixed upon
very good men as party nominees for the next
election. John j. Pettus is known throughout
the State as a polished elegant gentleman and
an able man. Messrs. Bart and Webb have been
consistent aud efficient Democrats in this State for
many years and displayed sound practical sense
while representing their respective districts in
our State Senate Col. NJ. D. Haynes is well
known to our readers, and needs ne laudatiou TO
secure his cordial support wherever he is known.
1t is an able ticket throughout, and whatever may
have been our personal predictions, we place
the names ut our masthead and pledge unwayer
ing support to the party nominees. Let the
Democracy of Mississippi not sleep because the
"Opposition' happens to be merely no opposition
at ALL but buckle on their armor and work for the
determination of their foes. Let the great prin-
ciples of Democracy be yet further spread until
Mississippi shall speak out as one man, undivided,
unanimous.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The following platform was adopted by the
State Convention, without dissenting voice
Resolced, That we re-announce as the basis
of party action the platform of principles laid
down by the Democratic party at the National
Convention of 1856; and hold that the doc
tnne of non-ntervention with the institution
of slavery in States, Territories, or District of
Columbia, does not nor was it intended to
conflict with the assertion of the power of Con
gress to protect the property of the citizens of
the several States who may choose to settle
in the Territories, which are the common prop
erty Of all the States.
Resolged, That in the language of the Su
prsmO Court of the United States, that "the
right Of property in slaves is distinctly and
expressly affirmed in the Constitution "-and
"the only power over it conferred upon Con
gress, is the power coupled with the duty of
guarding and protecting the owners in their
rights" is thus declared
Resolved, That Mississippi will stand by her
sister Slave-hoding States in insisting upon
the enforcement by all the departments Of the
federal government Of their constitutional
rights rs thus exponnded by the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
Resolred, That in the event of the election
Of Black Republican candidate for the Presi
dency,b by the sutfrages of one portion of the
Union only, to rulo over the whole United
States, upon the avowed purpose of that organ
ization, Mississippi will regard it as declara
ton of hostility, and will hold herself in readi
ness, separately or in concert, to cooperate
with her sister States of the South in whatever
measures they may deem necessary for the
maintenance Of their rights as co-equal mem
hers of the oonfaderocv
Resolved, That We feel it incumbent upon
the Democracy of Mississippi again to declare
that the acquisition Of Cuba by the United
States is u commercial and political necessity,
aud that we will hail with pic Assure every prop
er measure that looks to its accomplishment;
and further, we can never consent to its ap
propria'inn by any foreign power.
ResoIred, That we endorse, in the main, the
policy Of the present Administration,

OF, had deemed that gift of mime
That little gift-possessed the power
To claim one single thought Of thine,
Or priced would be for one short hour,
Thou hadst not marked the gathering tear"
Unbidden, from its fountain start
As some sweet hope, or memory dear,
Would rise to mock my lonely heart.
Yet, had it language to express
What lip or eye might well conceal,
All that the heart would fain confess,
It's truthful emblem could reveal.
81 hue for thee"-no melting tone
These words could breathe more tenderly,
When silently it maketh known
The faithful hearts true constancy.
Then keep it for the emblem's sake,
And haply at some lonely hour
Some gentle mem'ry it may wake,
Like perfume from some faded flower;
Yes, keep it, and when coming years
Their lights and shadows round thee cast,
Amid their sunshine and their teqis,
1t may recall the happy past. CEDAR.

TIE GUN.POWDER PLOT.

The sleepers of our quiet village were
startled yesterday morning about twenty five
minutes to / O'Clock, by terrible explosion,
which Jared houses and ratified windows for
quarter of mile around 1t was discov.
cred that the Court House had been blown
open with gun powder, in an attempt posi-
bly, to examine and secure the contents of
the Sheriff Is vault
The vault led out of the Sheriffs office
under the stone stairway-this vault was
about eight feet deep aud three and half
vide and in it, built around with solid
masonry, were two iron safes, nothing Ct
them visible but the doors the first one was
comparatively useless, the second one was
good aud generally contained what money
vas in the hands Of the officer Tbs was
the place, evidently, where tie powder and
the match were appIied-ond what is strau,
ger still, the inside of this safe, the good
one, shows signs, aud the manner of the
explosion, induces the belief il every mind
that the powder was placed in the inside d
it. The vault door, a strong iron one, was
'Ha'Hh uOHiC uInldnCCi luz EIN6t5 snapped
and the door itself almost bent double. Thi.
door was locked and bolted at the moment
of tue explosion the bolts showing the fact
as they now appear, and the safe must ali
have been locked, for We hear that it con.
tanned from $4,000 to $4,000.
The room of the Probate Clerk and the
Shonff's office, as well as the two Jury
rooms up stairs, are in state of most inter
estlng confusion. They are untenable. Mr.
Coburn and Mr.. Miller, artists, who occupied
Tor the summer, tue Jury rooms, were in
their bed in the southwest room at the time
of the explosion, and although the east wal
OF the room was torn into atoms, they, VIC
are happy to say, were uDinjured some per.
sons who arrived early kindly assisted them
down by means of ladder.
How this thing was done, and what could
have been the motive of the internal fiend
who dill it, is question in every mouth
with none to answer it. After he had
secured the money, if he got any, he mus
have had great hatred to Claiborne county
to blow down her Court House.
1t will cost the county $4,000 at least tc
repair the damages done to the building
and the probability is that the whole build,
ing will have to come down. - Port Gibson

tead, our talented fellow-t ownsman, who is know
and prominent in this county, we regret to say
made no application for admission into the Dem
ocratic Church. He merely preferred just now to
affiliate with that party pro tenn. rather than to
join the Opposition, and thereby give indirect
aid to Free Sellers. The Wings logic is this: "a
Mr.. Armistead' proposes to temporarily vote with
the Democratic party for the purpose of defeating
the Free Soil party-thereforc, "a Mr. Armis-

aud the conclusion: "a Mr.. Partridge" proposes
to temporarily vote with the Free Soil party for
the purpose of defeating the Democratic party

encounter, we propose to wager a well bound copy
Of Prentciana that "a Mr.. Partridge" will always

The yicksbuyg Wing sis authorized md re-

candidate for Congress in this District. The Gov
crnor left on Sunday on business trip to Tennes.
SEQ, but requested US to say he wOu(u address n
letter to his friends setting forth the reasons for
his course, which to US appears singular enough"
The only thing astonishing in the above is that
the Wing should think the Governors course
singular" Have We not been trumpetpg it
into the Wings ears for 10 these many days,
that no state of facts, circumstances questions or
parties, could exist without Foote'S taking every
side thereof! He at first deliberately and uucon
ditionaly declines becoming candidate fer
Congress He shortly thereafter concludes to
become candidate for Congress because the call
of "a large popular assemblGge in Yazoo county
nine persoHs-was "imperatire." He now, yer!
shortly thereafter, concludes, notwithstanding his
recent opinion that said call was such to demand
hs prompt and cordial acquiescence" that he icili
not become candidate for Congress. JUST like
him. He occupies every conceivable position,
and involves himself, as usual in every possible
inconsistency upon the question as 10 whether or
not he will become candidate FOR Congress We
look upon it now us very doubtful indeed wheth-
err the immaculate Governor will or will not ye.
be Singleton's opponent The chances are about
equal that he viii be off and on again several
fines before he finally resolves, and the chance,
are six for his running and a hall. dozen for his
not running. Well, we had rather see him beaten
than our friend Col. Partridge. He is older, less
sensitive, and consequently better adapted to de-
feat.
