TIE IkEX NOTE.
From the Canton Mail


We have but two live active, political or
CARNATIONS in the State at this time, the
Conservative Republicans and the Ultra
Radicals or Bitter Enders. The Democratic
party though not dead IS sleeping quietly as
An infant i'm its cradle. 1t is time that sleep
should be broken. The Conservative Re
publicaus should not be expected to fight the
battle against prescription uuaided. The
battle is as much ours as theirs. The prin-
ciples enunciated by their platform are not
Objectionable to the great majority of the
white population of the State,an it becomes
the duty of the educated and well informed
whites to show to the colored citizens that
It'll as much to their interests as ours that
the principles of that party prevail in the
canvass. The Democratic party must merge
for the nonce with the anti-proscriptionist
Republicans. This is our only hope to drive
from power and place the hated thieves and
outlaws who now darken many of our public
stations and who will, ere long, if not
checked in their wild career, destroy the
peace, unity of the State, and with it the last
vestige of the mere shadow of prosperity
and happiness now enjoyed by us.
The attitude of the political parties in
Mississippi ana Virginia is exactly the same.
Throughout the recent canvass in the latter
State the Democrats were not known as a
separate party, but gave in their adhesion to
the Conservative wing of the Republican
party. They though it best to war against
the test oath, DISTINGUISHING faction under
the banner of the moderate Republicans
This is the policy sound sense dictates to the
Democrats of Mississippi. We shall enter
the canvass heart and soul withthe Conserv-
alive Republicans, not merely giving them
a wordy encouragement, but throwing into
the scales our best energies and earnest la
bOrs.

The XVIII Amendment is objected to,
not because it forbids the denial of suf-

insurance Company-such as the st. Louis
Mutual. We saw yesterday in the hands of
Mr.. Charles w. Ashford, the special agent OF
said Company for this portion of the State,
a sight draft on New York for the sum of
s.. $50 II in favor of Mrs. Emily j. Sherard,
of Raymond. Her husband, VIM. Sherard,
took out policy for $1,000 Dec. 18th, 1867,
and died on the 18th of May last. The total
amount paid by him on this policy was only
SS3 10. After deducting three premium
notes given by Mr.. Sherard, and allowing
ing dividends, his widow gets nearly TWEEN
ty-nine hundred dollars. One such fact as
this presents an unanswerable argument in
favor of the wisdom of life insurance
Messrs. Lonsdale & Otis, No. 10 Madison
street, Memphis, are the General Agents OF
the st. Louis Mutual, for West Tennessee,
Mississippi, Arkansas, and North Alabama
