KEERDs-We have heard story about lady
who, on seeing a pack of playing cards on her
centre table, put them in her poe Set to get them
out of the way for the tme-beng, but who forgot
all about them, went down street. and while con-
versing on the redemption of souls with her cler-
gyman, thoughtlessy pulled ont four bowers in
company with her pocket handkerchef-but as
we agreed not to say anything about it, it wouldn't
be right for US to do it. The most annoying thing
about it was, the clergyman hadn't the gallantry
to pick the cards up Exchange

COL. NJ. D. HAYNEs-FoR TREASURER.


To the Editor of the oxford Mercury:
l see with pleasure that the name of Col.
HAYNES, of Yazoo County, is generally
spoken of as the next State Treasurer, and
be has already been recommended by several
County meetings for that important position.
There is but little doubt that he will be
nominated without opposition to guard our
public Treasury; and more competent and
worthy man could not be chosen for that
responsible post.
The writer of this has known Col. H. for
many years, for he once lived short time
in this County, where he now has many
friends who know his strict integrity, and
inhexibe devotion to the principles of the
Democratic party. He has always been an
active Democrat of the States Right school,
and done good service for his party; and
such men we should reward when we have
an opportunity. Col H. possesses all thS
private qualifications for the Office, as he is
a fine business man, and comes fully up to
Mr.. JEFFERsoN's test---he is honest, capable,
and faithful to the public trust. These are
all the qualifications of good officer, and
such one we want and | believe will get.
A FRIEND.

Ny heart is vanquished, and am sore distressed
Dying Cupid lodged his shaft deep in my breast

Since L" "Benton's" eye ye can no longer please.

Thy envenomed words have won for thee thy fate
Letter NJ. no longer shalt thou mar my name
Thy presence serves but in purposes of blame
And thou, oh blue eyed gander go, drOop thy

Some lonely puddle, where they'll meier be found
Where they fall shall ever be unhalowed ground.

GRE SlONAL DISTRICT OF TIE STATE

FELLOW CITIZENS: 1t is known, presume, to
most of you, that have heretofore deliberately
and Internationally declined allowing to be re-
cognized as a candidate to represent this District
in the National Legislature 1t is still my ear
nest desire that some other individual should be
selected by tie friends Of ldw and orier and the
supporters ofMe ConItituti0n and Of the Union, as
their standard bearer in the political campaign
now commencing No man who knows me can
suspect ME of desiring to occupy seat in Con-
gress on grounds Of a merely personal character.
The cause of the Opposition, though, in Missis
sippi and elsewhere, is dear to my heart and no
man is willing to exert himself more actively, or
make greater sacrifices of every kind to further
this cause. Meanwhile. find myself nominated
by large popular assvInblage in the county of
Yazoo as n candidate for Cungl ess, in manner,
MS conceive, to demand my prompt and cordial
acqaeSceRce. |, therefore, announce myself as
candidate, and shall remain in the field, until l
shall ascertain that some other gentleman, con-
curing with me in sentiment, and apparently
available, is willing to relieve me from the duties
and responsibilities incident to the position which
| have assumed.
| will, in few days, declare the principles
upon which expect to conduct the canvass.
need not say that in consenting to have my name
used as a candidate, it is not my desire to autci-
pate or to preclude nomination by the Opposi-
ton Convention, expected to assemble in few
weeks in the city of Jackson though it is proper
for me 10 say, that whilst | am incapable of do
ing anything to distract the counsels of the ORpo-
sjtioR in this District or divide its strength will
not be a candidate for conventional nomination.
must run, if at all, as an Independent candidate,
upon my own individual merits, such as tley may
be-aS the TOHtmee dl0ne Of PRIMARY assemblies Of
tie people,
have the honor to be- very respectfully and
cordially, your friend and fellow citizen.
