Clarion correspondence on the
Situation.

- COUNTY, Miss August S. 1873.
EDITORS OF THE CLARION:
l am decidedly opposed to the nomination
of any Conservative or Democratic state
ticket (whether the Radicals split or mott.
and as the sureSt way to ensure this end. |
am opposed to the assembling of any State
Convention. Many who might agree with
NE in this policy, would reject the views on
which it is based. While believe it pro-
misses best for immediate partial success,
frankly confess that it is not the controlling
motive with me. l believe that the Demo-
cratic or Conservative organization In this
State ought to be temporarily, il not per-
manently, disbanded. | believe that in this
State, (if not in the nation.) il is useless
with our present organization to fight
longer against the Republican party--for
the State officers. The negro population in
the State Is Increasing much faster than the
white They remain now, and will continue
70 remain, solid unit for the Republican
party The white, on the contrary, are de-
sertlng, aud with constantly increasing
ratio going over to the Radical party. -Four
years ago. Aicorn received -v votes in -
county. Two years later there were pro-
Now there are, think, 500 white Radicals
in the territory that composed it,
The only hope for permanent relief. In
my opinion, lies in the complete disintegra-
ton of the present parties and the forma-
ton of new ones in which there will be
something like negroes on opposing sides,
and in which the Southern whites shall be
NO longer on one side, but in which they
shall differ as Of old. Nothing can bring
about this State of affairs so rapidly as an
abandonment of organized opposition to
the Republican party. In the meantime we
must endure as we may our present ills and
render them as tolerabIe as possible bv
sending our best men to the Legislature
from the white counties.
You may possibly not agree with me In
all my reasoning. l may be wrong anont
1t, but il is the calm conviction OF mnch
anxious thought. In any event, 90 with
and stand by my party. -

Terrific Arruignment of

From the Friar's Point Delta, Gov. AL
corn's Home Organ) August 9th.
We have opposed and shall continue to
oppose the nomination OF Gen. Ames as the
candidate OF the Republican party of Mis-
sissippi
possessed OF any of the prerequisites OF a
Statesman.
Second, Because we do not regard him as
citizen of Mississippi.
Holding the Judiciary Committee OF the
United States Senate in high respect: com
posed as it is Of some of the ablest lawyers
in America--the great lights of our party
ana our nation; we receive their sworn
verdict in this case, as conclusive in argu-
ment that Adelbert Ames is wanting in the
prerequisites of citizen of Mississippi.
Our interview with Gen. Ames. personal
" had at jackson, convinced US that his
pretended citizenship was fraud on the
people. The subtertuge to which he resOrted
when he was driven by public sentiment to
enter into bargain for a residence at
Natchez. We regarded as an Insult to the
intelligence of the Republican party of the
State-to the intelligence of the people of
the STATED
The fact that he has never remained ten
consecutive days in the city of Natchez in
his life; that altogether he has never spent
thirty days of his whole life in that city the
fact that he attempted the ruse OF bringing
his wife to his residence in NatcheZ: the
fact that she would not become party to
his fraud: the fact that he is a man of
property, and has that property invested in
the North. Grouping all these facts the
case is made as clear as sunshine, that Gen.
Ames is mere politician offortune, a mere
adventurer, who seeks an Office at the hands
of the Republican party OF this State, to
grant which, on their part, would bring the
party into contemplated to its final over
throw and result in the mis-government.

The Ohio Democracy.

The Democratic party, or what was
left of it, in the great central Western
State Of Ohio, is shivered into fragments.
The progressive wing uniting with the
Reform Republicans, have nominated
mixed ticket under the title of the Peo-
pies Party; and the Hunker wing have
held a Convention of their own and nomi-
mated ticket of straightouters headed
by fine old gentleman, Hon. William
Allen, who served in the u. S. Senate
from 1887 to 1S49, and has not been in
public life since Inasmuch as the
Grant Republicans have majority over
all the fragments combined, and the Re-
form Republicans thrown in, it does not
require a prophet to predict what the
result will be. The noteworthy feature
OF the whole matter is the sign it gives
forth of the decentralization and disband-
ment Of the Democratic party in the
third largest State in the Union.

Gen. Ames was never ''importuned by

official who had his own axe to grind,

nomination of Ames means dlscord, dissen

We have appropriated large space in
the present number to correspondents on
the political situation and kindred topics.
Our readers will understand that we are
not responsible for the views presented in
that form, any more than for the miscel-
lany under the head of Notes and Opin-
ion, which We are in the habit of copying
from our State exchanges for the infor-
nation of the public. We desire all
sides inside our own lines, to have hear

keep our readers posted in the move

1t is a strange sound that comes from
the Mighty East" through the Meridian
Mercury, that the Democracy in that
portion of the State do not desire State
ticket, nor a State canvass, nor even a
State Convention. 1t was proposed that
they should assemble in the very place
whence this expression goes forth in order
that their tagging spirits might catch fresh
inspiration from the Astounding Demo
cratic fervor supposed to be there. =
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1873-08-14


In addition to Gov. Alcorn's terrific
indictment of Ames, elsewhere copied,
it will be seen that his home organ falls
into the proposition Of the Floreyville
Star and the Seashore Republican to
throw aside both Ames and Powers Off
the latter be found unavailable and take
up Bruce, or some other colored man.
We merely reproduce the suggestion as
news. 1t is not our funeral:
But suppose it should turn out that by
reason OF the ISLANDERS and detractions of the
friends of Amcs, that Gov. Powers shall
prove unacceptable To the Republicans OF
the State. Can the friends OF Ames, after
their foul abuse, hope that Gov. Powers and
his friends will come To Ames? We think
not! In that event We stand ready 10 join
the Florey vile Star in the support of Col.
Bruce, or we will support Hon. FL. Revel !,
or Charles Caldwell, or Robert Gleed. or
DR.. SLringer. or Rev. DIR. b. p, Boulder, or
Col. ). j. Ireland, or any other intelligent
colored man of the State for the office of
Governor, or for any other office to which
he or they may be nominated! And when
Gov. Powers is found too weak to grappIe
with Ames, we stand ready to join our Re
publican friends in the fultillment for this
declaration. To join our political friends
in such selection OF the different State offices
as will leave the ring masters out altogether,
and thereby give to the people list Of cam
didates acceptable to, and entitled to the
confidence OF the masses.

A despatch from Corinth states that
DR.. R. T. Dunn, deputy United States
marshal, was assassinated in his bed on
the night OF the 10th. A gun, loaded
with buckshot, was fired through his
window, striking him in the head, killing
him instantly. There is no reason as
signed, nor clue to the perpetrator. The
evidence before the coroner only leafs to
vague suspicious. The whole people are
aroused and indignant. The deed is uni
versally regretted.

selves have done, each in his own sphere

facts were known, that our efforts would
not suffer in comparison with his. And
most assuredly our experience has not
justified his conclusion, that the blacks
with whom we have been thrown in
daily business contact, will not listen
to your (our) teaching" The reverse is
true. But this is putting finer point
upon the matters in question than we
like.
We are glad to have drawn this second
letter from the able and philosophical
writer. 1t has enabled US to disclaim
the animus and intent which he at
tributes TO our comments on his first
communication, and has afforded him
the opportunity, which he has improved,
more fully to reveal the plan of opera
ton which he proposes.
