The Ten Commandments.
From the Aberdeen Examiner.
Give us Gen. Humphreys for Governor;
Col. X. o. Reynolds for Lieut. Governor
Col. j. NJ. Store for secretary OF oeaeg
Col. C.. Z. Hooker for Attorney-GeneTai
Col. w. II. MeCardle for Auditor, ana Col
Kinloch FaIconer for Treasurer, or any
other six men possessing equal hoiu uPob
upon the affections of the people OF ooth the
white and black counties, and equally cal
culated to arouse the enthusiasm OF the
MISSES, and we can poll heavier vote IMAM
we did in 1868.
From the Pascagoula Star.
We take it for granted that Ames viii re-
ceive the nomination. If elected, lac VIII
then 90 10 the Senate. and the contingent
colored Governor Ia carpet Dag2eFl VIII
then step in. Will there be bolt and q
division in that party? There may be u
tie Democrats put no ticket in the field IL
they do No! Between Ames and a Demo
cratic ticket. What's chance?
See the Article from the Grenada Sentinel,
We lay il before you, ponder II Wen. Cnere
sense in il. But even the t'antidote Whlch
he offers-to keep out of the hght-and
which all along we have considered our oest
policy, will require us 10 help EoWeFs, OF
some other Radical, 10 beat Ames, ana TINS
still leaves the State under Radical rule.
T Iere be only one other course TO pur-
sue and the trouble here to be encountered
is to find true representative men among
the colored people OF the State with whom
10 deal. outside of the carpet Dagger ne
oroes. who are leagued with the white car
t,ef -baogers. and who are entirely ION the
make Iadiffr rent to the welfare OF the
state 1t is To eBdeaVor To convince the
masses Of the 90 ored people Of the State
h i We accord II EN- lie ly, "a lily and with,
ont reservation, their pontical rights ana
can We. now, at once ani forever, induce
the colored people OF The State - believe
the truth that there are no differences be-
tween us The past issues are dead and
buried. aud are not to be brought into the
canvass That we accept "tho situation,
recognize the demands of the law, are not
lispOsed TO withhold from them one iota OF
their political rights; and that we desire, in
all earnestnesS, 10 unite with them in an
honest effort 10 build up our broken-down
fortunes, and to arrest the State in her
course TO bankruptcy and financial ruin, to
which she is Fastening. If this CAN be
done. OF which we are by no means SAN
vuine let the Democratic party come up To
the mark take the bull by the horns, and
put colored man-as truly representa-
tive man of the colored people of the State
as can be obtaiued-at the head OF their
ticket, and followed by contingent
white s'Governor," enter the field.
Either this, or to assist a Republican ticket
against Ames, or Ames, which means ruin,
inevitable, irreCrievable ruin and destruc-
ton.
Well may we exclaim in the depth of de-
spair, Men aud brethren, what shall we do
to be saved! 2"
From the Grenada Sentinel.
Let us keep out of the field, aud let the
contest, which is bound to rage with Intense
ferocity, be inside of the Republican party.
But this can only be done by the Democrats
and Conservatives keeping out of the field !;
once you place candidate there, you unite
the RpublicanS-as unit they are iuVin-
chile in Mississippi. These are the plain
facts, unpalatable though they be. and we
write them down regardless of what eX-
tremistS on our side OF the question may
cav. feeling that time will bear us out. Let
us then reason together. Let us take the
example of Tennessee, Virginia and Ar
kansas. Each one these states was re-
deemed by the Democrats allowing the
fight to be inside the Republican party
This is no Dent movement, but simply the
adoption of a plan that has proved success
fuI every time il has been tried. viii Mis-
sissppi take warning from Louisiana and
Dian after the otlIc" states mentioned? If
She will, delveIance is at hand; ii not,
worse than the fate of Louisiana awaits her
there will be the same difference brtween
that unfortunate State and Mississippi that
there is between Kellogg and an Ames.
From the Paulding Messenger.
Several of the Democratic papers of the
State are advocating the "no-ticket"
policy. We think you are unE necessarily
fast. gentleman, rs there are yet three
months intervening between this and the
election. and no man can tell what daV
may bring forth. We do not think this
Question is yet ready for discussion mas
much as we have not among us Statesmen
OF sufficient foresight To tell just lct0t aoiLL
be he attitude Of oGLtrS after Llte 27Lh OT Au-
gfist. Don't be too hasty, let US he patient
and "see what we shall STE" in reference TO
this State ticket and in the meantime we
should go ahead and effect thorough county
organizations, take the necessary steps to
insure the election OF good men to county
offices, and especially reliable and efficient
men to the Legislature.
tl From the Natchez Democrat.
We are convinced that among the evils
which might happen To Mississippi the tri-
umph of Il Bourbon Democratic ticket would
not be by any means the least; and. since
we neither own nor acknowledge allegiance
TO any party, we felt il to be our duty TO say
that such is our conviction.
From the Brandon Republican.
1t is a matter of sincere regret that our
people should cultivate Discussions, and
magnify petty political differences to the
material interest of the country. We are
on the eve of campaign that seals our fate
for veal or woe for four long wears, and il
would seem that the suffering from misruIe
oppression and corruption has been suffi
Gent to inspire any thinking man with a
TO throw off the yoke of tv-
ranny, and establish in its stead freedom
peace, good will and prosperity.
