tendance was the consequence. There will
be full Conservative vote polled at the
next election in Montgomery.

COUNTY, Miss, August, 1863.
EDIToRs or TIE CLARION:
What aught to be done In the present
emergency is the absorbing topic. have
distinct ideas which l will attempt to pre-
sent.
We tried the "Dent movement" That
was meant by us in good faith as conces-
sion to Grant; it was crushed out bv
Grants treachery. We then tried the
Greeley movement. That failed because
the Cincinnati nominations and platform
were endorsed at Baltimore. LII the Balti-
nominations, but TO leave every mem Der OF
the party perfectly free to choose between
Grant and Greeley, the result. in my Opin-
ION, would have been very different. The
attempt To transfer the Democrats in solid,
To Greeley, had two disastrous effects. The
first was To create feeling of indifference
which eliminated In a feeling of resent
meut so far as the Democrats were con-
eerned. And then, as to the Republicans
they felt that it was an attempt on the parr
Of the Democrats to swallow the Liberals
The result was mainly from these two
causes that AFTER Baltimore the fortunes Of
Greeley waned, and we suffered, not only
ignominious, but most terrible, and dlsas-
trons defeat.
Shall we learn nothing from experience
1 take it for granted that no sane man will
advise or advocate repetition of any one
OF these past experiments. Then whatP II
seems to me there are hut two expedients
LETT. One is to nominate a straigbtout
Democratic ticket; and the other Is TO ma Ike
no nominations at all. To the first Z am
utterly opposed. l would az soon undertake
TO float milestone across the MississIpni
river as to carry a Democratic ticket, pure
and simple, to Victory In this State. The
thing sinks before you get 1t launched.
| know that and fa.
others of less note, have a dreamy idea tina
some sort of a ticket can be cobbled up, thar
will offer chance for success. / do no
think so, and therefore, as at present ad
vised, will take no stock in any uehi
ticket.
The truth is that we, and all who favol
reform, are serving the simple purpose o
hoops to keep the Radical tub from falling
to pieces. The Radical party is now in
state of disintegration. Withdraw tn,
binding force which we supply and in TIVE
years it will fall to pieces of its own rotten
ness.
You will be at no loss to see that nv dis
tlnct judgment Is, that we ought to put NJ
ticket in the field. 1t is my further iudg
ment, that we ought to give the malcon
tents to understand If you undertake TO ruI
tickets of your, own, you must not rely OF
us for support.
am perfectly confident, If we Withdraw

WEST JACKSON ALIvE.-For SONG

w EST JAGkSDN ALIN E--E or som 2
time past there has been considerable talk
in West Jackson about offering such induce
ments to Hope Fire Company, No. 3, as will
get that efficient fire Organization to re-
move to the thriE ing little city across the
creek. The talk has now assumed a bust
ness shape. We have in our office plan
for two splendid eisterns. each TO hold 3d.
800 gallons OF water. 1t is proposed that
the railroad companies shall build the els
terms, and we understand that the officers
of the companies speak iavorably OF the pro-
position. On the part OF the citizens an
engine house is to be built and presented TO
Hope Fire Company, No. 3, provided they
move over and occupy it. Alderman John
Nelson is at the helm of the undertake NJ,
and is backed by the most Influential cltI-
zens OF West Jackson. The known energy
of John Nelson, and the public spirit OF
those who are interested, Indicate that there
will be no failure In the matter. We under
stand that the Hope Company, who are ever
wiling to put their labor in case of fire
where it will do the most good, are pleased
with the plan, and have deferred improving
their engine house for the present, until

winter or not. There is one thing certain,
West Jackson is determined To be able To
protect her.eif from tire, and nos have to
look to the East for succor much longer.
We would advise those who are interesting
themselves ia the undertaking 10 push it
forward without delay. Their portion OF
the city is growing rapidly, and they need
fire CONF any nearer than Fast jackson.
The Hope is well equipped and willing 10
move; neither of the other companies are
willing to move west. The engine
house of the Hope requires fitting up
before winter, and they intenu tol
have the work done this fail. After
this work is done (Which they have deferred
for the presenO they could not be induced
to move, and then West jackson would
have to do without Il company, or organize
aud equip one as well a> bund an engine
house.
