the return of this gentleman
from the Baltimore National Democratic
Convention, the Baton Rouge Gazette
After an absence of a month or more,

sary to say that the Major was one of
the leading Democrats named by the
Donaldsonville Convention to represent

the first choice of the Democracy of
this section of the State in 1856, and
now that he gives evidence of four years.

1Tcket-We copy the following from
the Aberdeen Miss Conservative.
AS unanimity and harmony of action
are the essential steps toward success,
and as we desire to see the true and
national Democracy, the old body
guard of the Constitution, triumph in
the approaching struggle, we most
heartily respond to call that has been
made in the columns of the Corinth
True Democrat, that the party meet in
Convention, at Holly Springs on the
Both inst, where each district can be
represented, and make nominations fer
the State at large and the Districts at
the same time. Let, then, the national
Democracy of Mississippi meet in
Convention at Holly Springs, on the
goth inst, and let an electoral ticket
be chosen that will roll up the accus-
toned majority of the State for the
true, national and Constitutional ticket,
Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel V.
Johnson.
The friends of Douglas and johnson,
in Noxubee county, Miss, have called
q meeting to take steps for County and
State organizations of the party. The
meeting is to be held on the 18th inst.
