"The mountain labored, and mouse is born. "
After months of severe labor the Vicksburg Wing
gave issue to the following State ticket on last
Wednesday morning, some time between midnight
and day:
For Governor-H. W. WALTER, Of Marshall Co.
For Secretary Of State--H. II. SourHwoRTH, Of
Sunfower
For Auditor--A. L REYNOLDS, of Tishomingo
For 7reasurT--JosEPH REAGAN, of Claiborne.
Says the Wing, in reference to the ticket;
"The banner which We uufur is OPPOSITION TO
THE DEMOCRACY; and we invoke every conserva-
tive patriot in the State to put on his armor and
fight under its broad folds even though he may
be conyi nced inevitable defeat wi be the sure
result
"Invoked as we have been from various parts Of
the State, to suggest ticket for the support Of
those who will not and cannot sustain OF submit
without struggle to the domination of the De-
mocracy-impelled by our own convictions of
what is right and just, we have determined to put
forth ticket Of good and true men, for whom all
those who oppose the mad designs of the Democ-
racy may vote, if they will. We have no authority
to put forth this ticket 1t is done of our own free
will and accord at the urgent request of good and
hUO AHOh III uil pdIIo VI tue II is lHS
we mean TO poe for, TO ,Ors for, to battle for until
the contest is closed"
The Wing calls on the conservative, the law
abiding, the patriotic from the Tennessee line to
the seacoast-all who are opposed to revolution,
bloodshed, disorder, INSTRUMENTATION, violence and
dishonesty" to advocate and support its ticket
This class Population might possibly hearken to
the call and advice of the Wing, if it did not see
another ticket presented with John j. Pettus at its
head, which it likes better-much better. The
best thing that we see about the Wings ticket, is
the neat mechanical manner in which he sets up
and displays it. 1t really looks nice bat it has an
ominous form-it resembles somewhat the shape
of coffin.
1t occurs 10 us that if the Wing is at all friendly
to the gentlemen composing its ticket, it should
not have put them up as mark to be shot at,
without their consent to the sacrifice being first
had and obtained. Placed in predicament of
this kind, no honor or glory is to be gained and
it is not safe to say that nothing will be lost We

Judge, and received some two dozen votes out of

hereafter be spoken of as the man who made "a
small experiment"

the prospects of any man. Nor will the other

VALEDIcTORY.

With the Issue next before the last my connection
with the Yazoo Democrat virtually ceased, but
absence. unexpected and unavoidable, delayed my
parting remarks until now. In taking my de
parture from Yazoo county, have but little to
say. Twelve months ago | assumed the editorial
chair of this paper, with the expressed intention
ofadvocating purely Democratic principles. How
ever small the talent have brought to bear upon
the work, lsthink no one can question the fact
that my promises have been to the letter fulfilled.
Fully impressed by sense of the danger impend-
ing over the section | love- derived from the
threatening indications and colossal proportions
OF the abolition sentiment at the North, | have
also advocated a union of Southern interests. and
an undivided, prompt and determined resistance
to sectional encroachment. In closing my edito-
rial career in this State, take occasion finally to
reiterate my entire belief in the vital Importance
OF speedy and full national recognition of State
rights and State sovereignty The tendencies of
our Government to absolutism through sectional
power are becoming distinct and alarming, and
should meet with an instantaneous check-if not
from the national Democracy, then from the
Southern people; otherwise, our future is a
gloomy and chaotic picture, and the freedom of
posterity most difficult enigma.
II would have been my pleasure to have remain
ed longer in Yazoo, among her whole souled and
hospitable citizens, engaged in the advocacy of
the glorious principles just indicated, had not my
private interest imperiously demanded removal
to more remunerative field of labor In &C.
cordance with my wishes and necessity, have
been honored by the tender of position in the
State of Arkansas which l could not feel justified
IL refusing. Therefore, it shall be my business
and pleasure henceforth to speak through the
estate Rights Democrat" those sentiments which
have hitherto found an organ in the "YazOo
Democrat" Meantime it affords me much satis
fiction to state that the last will in future be the
exponent of the same principles that have advo-
Gated, and be subject to the editorial conduct of
gentleman more fully competent than myself for
their proper expression,
The publishing department will continue under
the supervision of Mr. II. P Garrison, who is now
sole proprietor, and who will exercise his utmost
skill in giving satisfaction to tie public In view
OF these facts, congratulate the Democracy Of
Yazoo county that they can lose nothing in the
typographical appearance of the Democrat, and
must gain by the change in its editorial depart
ment Nothing now remains for me to do except
to record my best wishes for the success of the
paper and the party of this county, and to recon.
mend vigilance and concerted action to the latter
The Democratic party of Yazoo is hound to be
triumphant in future contests-may it be elor-
ously and Overwhelmingly so.

SPEECH OF COL. PErrUs.

This gentleman, according to appointment
addressed the citizens of Yazoo county in this CITY
on Wednesday last. Want of room forbids more
than passing alluson to his speech The posi-.
uon of Col. Pettus on the paramount political
questions of the day is so generally known and
approved that we will not attempt to sketch it.
On the sectional question, he is for resistance to
further aggression. He would favor a cessation
OF trade with the North, and other milder meas
ures Of resistance, and if that failed to stay the
tide of abolitionism, he would, rs last resort
interpose with force and arms. He denounced
the squatter sovereignty heresy of Douglas and
his followers, and claimed it to be the duty of
Congress to interpose adequate protection to
slavery in the Territories, in default of territorial
legislation to that effect In short, his speecb
was replete with sound Democratic States rights
doctrine, and gave unqualified satisfaction to every
Democrat present In future issue we NAV give
more extended notice of our Governor that Is to
be.

THE REAaoN why.


Speculation has been busy in the endeavor to
ascertain the true cause of the disparity Of the
Democratic vote of Kentucky in the late election
with that Of last year, when the State voted
Democratic by $4,000 majority
The most plausible cause yet given, that We
have seen, is contained in the Louisville Courier
|of a late date and is as follows
We may add, that If the Democracy of the
State had everywhere followed our advice, we
should have carried the State by at least twenty
FIVE thousand majority. As it was, the 0pposi.
ton were permitted to use the true Democratic
thunder Of protection, and with it they have
secured five Congressman and reduced the major
ity for Magoffin to less than 1000. These things
should teach the Democracy of Kentucky lesson
not soon to be forgotten. Revill, a straight-out
Leoompton Democrat, carried the State last year
by l4,OO0 majority, but the Democracy, in at
tempting to conciliate mere squad of noisy
anti Lecompton, anti-protection, squatter SOW
eregnty, Douglas followers have lost to the party
hve or six thousand votes, and carried the State
only by about,o 900. So much for pandeling to
the good, or rather bad will of our Douglas neigh
Dor of the Louisville Democrat and his Wilmot-
proviso, Missouri restriction, Abolition con-
tederates of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who is
nothing but free-nigger wolf in Democratic
sleeps clothing
We do not know what sort Of advice the Courier
usually gives. But in this instance we think its
teachings were wise and true to the letter. The
opposition did use Democratic thunder. and were
quietly permitted to do it, much to our loss aud
greatly to their advantage.
The Yazoo Democrat. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1858-18??, 1859-09-03

Elated with their success in the late Congress.
ional elections, the Opposition are talking with
an overweening pertinacity of elechng Speaker
of the next House of Representatives The Lou
isville Journal-the oracle of this party-is out in
favor of Tom Corwin, of Ohio, as its first and
Emerson Ethridge, of Tennessee, as it's second
choice for that high and important Office. The
Journal calls upon what it styles the ''conserva-
tive element in the next House, to unite on Corwin
or Ethridge for Speaker. The New York Tribune
claims Ethridge as an ally of Black Republicanism
and the Journal comedies the claim to be well
founded, by CHASING him with Corwin.
Of course no Opposition member will vote for a
Democrat for Speaker, as opposition to Democracy
is the foundation Of the organization of that party
But the Opposition will not have strength of
themselves to elect Speaker. How then? Will
the Republicans and Abolitionists come 10 their
assistance Will the stronger come to the weaker
Not at all, The mountain will not come to Ma
homet, so Mahomet must go to the mountain. 1t
is easy to divine the result of such an incestuous
union. The stronger will predominant over the
weaker, and Black Republican Speaker will be
the issue of it.
