The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1872-08-15

! EDITORS CLARION A communication
appeared in your issue Of last Tuesday
under the above caption, and signed "NortI
mississippi. which deserves and will doubt
less command the hearty concurrence o
every Conservative, Democrat, and ever,
Liberal Republican, in a word. of ever
supporter of Greeley and Brown. not II
/ NORTH Mississippi only, bat Throughout
the State. The name and fame of the un.
rivalled orator alluded To by ..North Mis-
sissipri" Is as warmly cherished amid thu
pine hills Of East Mississippi, upon oul
Southern sea-eoast, and the ailuviaI District
bordering upon the Mississippi river. as in
| ms own loved home in Oxford. The rea-
| sons assigned in the communication OF
NORTH Mississippi" would be sufficient to
justify departure for policy which has
heretofore been recommended and pursued.
viz: Of nominating and electing to office
only those who. at the time of their election.
labored under no disabilities. The disabil-
tiles under which Col. Lamar labors will
form no obstacle to his admission to a seat
IN Congress, even if the political complex
ION OF that body remain as at present. That
assurance has been given from a response
BILE source, and without intimation ON his
part, or that of his friends, and only awaits
his consent to be accomplished. a consent
that he could not withhold when the people
shall again demand his services. Ofcourse
there would be no room to doubt that " ith
the election of Greeley and Brown-already
foregone conclusion, the remnant of the
foul blot cast upon the eseutcheon of the
fr0VnFnRnanf nv fho
most distinguished statesmen, brilliant ora
tors and immaculate gentlemen OF the South
ern States would be the first act of the in
coming administration. So that in any
event, a very brief interval will elapse
between the assembling of the next Con-
gress and the passage of an act by which
his disabilities could be removed and he
allowed to take his seat.
As the first district is the only one in the
State in which, under the infamous and
perjurious gerrymandering which was adop-
ted in the organization of the Districts, in
which the opposition to the present imbecile
and corrupt administration have hope of
success, the representation from that dis
triet may be justly considered as the repre-
sentation of the Conservative masses in all
pal - VI TIC ObctlCs IHuCCd5 iOOhlIiR Ottb OfcT
all the Southern States where can man be
found who would be so likely to stand forth
on the floor of the National Legislature as
the recognized leader and champion of the
party and the policy which will bear honest
old Horace Greeley into the Presidential
chair on the 4th March next, as the silver
tongued orator of the South, L. Q. G. Lamar,
who, since the death of the illustrious
Prentiss, has never had peer or a rival
amongst us?
Let the people of the whole State rise in
their majesty and without waiting for n
response from him proclaim him their
chosen standard-bearer. The writer, feel
ing that in this communication he reflects
the sentiments and feelings of the support
ers of Greeley and Brown all over the
State, subscribes himself not North, South,
East or West Mississippi, but
MISSISSIPPI.
