THE DENT MOVEMENT IN MISSIS
SIPPI.

SlPPl.
From the N Y. Times.
The Mississippi friends of Judge Lewis
Dent are at liberty to nominate him for
Governor if they choose, and Judge Lewis
Dent is at liberty to accept the nomination if
he think proper. But when the former call
themselves National Republicans" and their
convention National Republican Conven-
tion, and when the latter accepts the nomi-
nation as the act of the Republicans of the
State, they are jointly and severally parties
to fraud The object of those who have
made this nomination is to defeat the genu-
inc Republicans in the approaching contest,
and a spurious Republican ticket is CON
sidered the best means of accomplishing it.
This is what the Dent movement in Missis-
sippi really means.
There are circumstances in which ''radi-
cal" and conservative" Republicans may
honestly differ. Virginia furnished an ex-
ample. The section of the party that nomi-
mated Wells assumed position favorable to
the retention of the proscriptive provisions
OF the new Constitution; the more liberal Re-
publicans rallied under Walker. Both were
Republicans to the extent of desiring the re-
storation of the State in conformity with the
requirements of Congress, but they repre-
sented, respectively opposing opinions as to
the policy to be pursued to render reconstruc-
tion just safe, and satisfactory. With the
Republican party thus divided, the balance OF
power rested with the Democrats, who on this
occasion proved themselves reasonable and
conciliatory.
If the condition of affairs in Mississippi
were similar in any essential respect the eX-
perience of parties in Virginia would probably
be repeated A second Republican ticket
would then be ineligible if not unavoidable
But there is no analogy between the two
cases. The Republicans of Mississippi are
unit in principle The proscriptive policy
has ceased to vex and divide them. line
whole party stands on broad and generous
grounds deprecating as unwise the imposl
tion OF the test oath or disabilities IN any
form, and favoring the rejection of so muci
of the proposed Constitution as gives then
sanction. General amnesty and universe
suffrage is the maxim proclaimed by the
regular party, of which Mr.. Alcorn, resi-
dent planter, will almost certainly be tn
