If it be true, as reported, that Bishop jim
Lynch has bOlted from the carpet-bag pro-
lscriptionists and faithfully embraced thu
cause of the Conservative Republicans, his
election TO Congress from this district, ant
by an overwhelming majority, may be re.
garded as a certainty. y
From the Brandon Republican.
We know this much about the matter
| Walker WAS recognized as Conservative
| Repu blican, and whipped out the whole
crew of carpet-ba thieves in the old Domin-
ON, just as Dent Is going TO do in Mississippi
+ l From the Natchez Democrat
The policy of opposition to Radiealism is
settled, the platform is enunciated. There
is no longera respectable amount of oppo-
sition to the policy or the platform, The
| policy to be pursued is exactly similar to
that by which the Virginians recently over
| wheimed their enemies and placed their no
bic old State beyond the calamitous power
of Radicalism. Ii Is to nominate none but
he
State or Congressional offices, thus depriv-
ing the Congressional party in power of the
most remote pretext for further exclusion
of the State after we shall have gained the
victory. To the legislature we may nomi-
nate good m IN of all shades of opposition to
Radicalism, and so likewise for County and
District offices, il the election shall extend
to them. The platform is clear and distinct.
In the language of General Grant, it is such
constitution and laws as will effectually
secure the civil and political rights of ali
persons. 1t is universal amnesty. and equal
rights before the law, without distinction
OF race, color. or previous condition. Upon
this commanding ground, moved with sim
cere desire to restore civil law and secure
the rights of Mississippi in the Union, the
people OF Mississippi will enter the canvass.
From the FayeGte Jefferson Co.. Chronicle.
ID. C. Kearns, Ames' Probate Clerk says.
that Gen. Grant has no right to force his
relatives upon the people OF Mississippi
against.their WISH" Wait until after the
election and see if it is against their will.
From the Columbus Sentinel.
With Judge Dent as candidate for Gov
ernor, and proper man for Lieutenant Gov
ernor-not "reber' or a dyed-in-t he-wool
Democrat: or what is worse, an 'Old line
Whig," as such, the 'sNational Union Re
publican Party" of the State of Mississippi,
can carry its ticket, without a doubt, by
from forty to sixty thousand majority
few malcontents of the first named parties,
if we can use the plural, Notwithstanding.
From the Columbus Index.
If the Democracy Is strong enough to
make a canvass and carry the State it should
boldly put its ticket in the field; if unable
to do this it should not embarrass the Con-
sentative Republicans in the canvass they
propose to make in defense of the disfran-
chised and wronged citizens of the State.
Let the Conservatives make their ticket,
and let us give them an honest support, nei-
ther attempting to over-reach them in the
canvass, nor claiming the result of the cleo
ton afterwards as a democratic victory.
We owe this to the Republicans who are
lighting for us, we owe 1t to ourselves; it is
the condition upon which our services are
asked-the absolute essential of success.
From the Liberty (Amite county, Advocate
1t is therefore fixed fact that Judge Dent
brother-in-law of the President, will be the
candidate of the Union Republican Party
for Governor of Mississippi aud will have
the support of the Administration. If so,
his election is certain. So mote it be-.
From the Crystal Springs Herald
Must we submit to this fair sample of the
radical constitution or get rid of them by
licans. Ii the people are disUhited it will
give the Radicals the victory, If we are uni
ted it will give the Conservatives the victo- |
ry. The time has come when it would be |
impossible to vote down the whole constitu- |
ton, but, as the elections in Virginia have |
decidedly proved, We may be able to carry |
the State with the Constitution Endorsed by |
the Conservative Republicans.
The brightest lights of our nation have |
chalked out this policy, as being now our |
best course to pursue. including our noble |

From the Scooba (Kemper county, Spectator |
No amount of political sophistry or pra-
ting abstracts will be held excusable for /
neutral .passiveness in the great conflict /
which is to determine peoples destiny.

this contest upon grounds of consistent po-
litical sequence alone, must be prepared to

masses of his countIymen,
The Conservative Republican party while
protesting attachment to the National Re-
publican party, have exhibited frank and
generous sympathy for our people, and by
declarations have foreshadow-
ed policy that must in speedy ultimation,
restore our hampered rights and reinvest
1ur people with privileges of equal partici-
patton in State and National affairs and that
will bring the blessings of peace, justice
and prosperity upon our once prosperous
and proud commonwealth.
Forming no part OF the Conservative Re
publican party, and reviewing the question
rom a conservative stand point, we deem it
10 part of our business to suggest plans or
lictate policy for that party, presuming its
,wn membership fully ca pabIe of managing
Is organization and its policy.
Should the Conservative Republican par

Is promulgated policy. there is no question
