JACKSON, August Is 1872.
EDITOR VICKsBURG HERALD:- The little
ripple of excitement occasiOned by the as
sembly of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee in this city last Thursday has sub
sided, and lre tired denizens Of the capital left
in our mortal state of summer dullnes.
1t has Locked out since the adjournment
of the Committee, that a props sition was
submitted in that body for The disbaRdmeIt
II the Democratic party! The Clarion,
which was published on Thursday the l4th
the day the Committee met, contained sew
eral articles which were not understood by
the unnitiated at the time, bat, read by the
liqht Of the proposition lohtch it is nos1 kJt0WH
Wds U0ted dorm by the committee, those articles
assume q sugqesttre aud sinister SigAifcGnce.
If it is said, a leader so long trusted as has
been the senior editor of the Clarion, is
not to be relied on in our present trying
emergency, it behoOves the people, OF exer-
else more than their usual caution in select
ing agents to represent chem in the approach
ing State Convention, ami this caution, l
trust you, Mr.. Editor, will lose no time in
inn ressing upon our people throughout the
State. In every county they should be
urged to select as delegates only men of un-
questionable courage, honesty and fidelity.
The patriots who cast lingering and re-
gretful glances at the flesh pots" which
once sent up their nostrils such savorv and
refreshing odors. are the style of gentlemen
who are signing for the distandment of the
Democratic party. having losL all cOnCrOI
of the party, which alone stands as the
break-water against the angry waves OF
Radicalsm, these gentlemen fancy that a
new party, and new deal, may bring them
once more prominently TO the front, in the
enjoy ment of lucrative and honorable Off
ces. 1t is not worth while to inquire
whether any political revolution can restore
vitality to those who sigh for fresh fields
and pastures green; but it Is of the first
consequence that the people of Mississippi,
the men who do not propose to sell out or
sell boldly over to the enemy, that they ex
ercise extraordinary vigilance in selecting
men to represent them at the Meridian con-
vention next month.
From what l gathered IN the title inter
course had eoith the members or the Executive
Committee. | arrived at the cor clusion &c
&c. 1t was not my purpose, however, to
write you long letter. My only object is
to sound the alarm and let you arouse TO d
sense of their danger the people OF.
MISSISSIPPI.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1873-08-28

give the convention Of 1868 to the adj
venturers, and which powerfully contrib
uted to the inauguration Of the Carpet
bag regime in 1869, displayed them
selves with fatal potency. Disaiiection
in the Democratic ranks secured a ma
iority rs large as forty thousand for
Grant. Whatever else Mr.. Greeley may
have bce,r he had been Reconstruction
ist, aad was pledged against re-opening
the questions settled by the Constitution
al Amendments and this was enough TO
kill him in the estimation Of the class
whose convictions Of duty mo doubt hon
estly entertained) have never permitted
them to acquiese in this policy.
These are the real causes, frankly
stated, of the divisions which have so
often and fatally manifested themselves
in the ranks Of those who have comprised
the party of opposition to Radical mis-
rule. Whittier they are tending, and
what consequences they must inevitably
produce, if neither one side nor the other
will yield It's convictions, are matters 70
he calmly considered
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1873-08-28

While IL is desired that ev,rv county in
the State shall be rerrpSent-tl. The people
are urged 10 be careful in he selection of
delegates. Those opposed To- being s,.li TO
the enemy will d. vel TO keen bofh eyes
open A ward TO the wise Is sufliri, mt
Vicksburg Herald.
We don't see the occasion for ali this
fume and rant, knowing wiuks and sly
inuendo. Are men to be charged with
"selling OUT because they don't happen
to square their ideas by the opinions of
the writer Of the above paragraph? Did
not the members of the Executive Com
mittee themselves differ in nearly equal
proportions about the plan of campaign,
and recognize this difference among the
people by passing a resolution advising
them 10 hold a State Convention :" for
g the purpose of putting State ticket in
81 the field, or adopting such other course
g as may Be decided uponf"
Judge Morgan, of DeSoto, member
of the Committee and friend of the
nomination policy, in publication ex-
planning the action of the Committee,
says:
We called a convention of the people OF
the State opposed to the ideas aud ilolicy
represented by AmeS. to meet at Meridian
on the 18th day OF Septem Der neXt. 10 con-
slider the situation, and adopt such course as
might be deemed best for The public t5eltdre-
The suggester of the E'selling out"
idea voted for the resolution himself, for
aught we know or care. Certainly its
distinguished mover, Gen. Walthall,
pre-supposed that such difference did
honestly exist, and provided way for
its reconcilement by the people among
themselves in a calm, deliterative spirit
through their county meetings. We hap
pen to know that while he believed if a
State ticket was nominated it should con-
sist of honest, home Mississippians, who
will arouse the enthusiasm of the masses,
he preferred reserving his own decision
on the subject until after the adversary
has revealed his plans.
Now our advice to the opposers of
RadlcallSm Is, without regard to what
Fussy-Buzzies may say, if they desire to
have voice " in adopting such course
" as may be deemed best for the public
welfare" to meet in their primary as
semblages and declare their will. If
they want to disband the Democratic
party as State organization for the
reasons set forth in Col. Calhoon's reso-
buttons, let them say so. If they prefer
to abstain from nominating under what
ever circumstances may exist at the
time, let them say so. Oh if they want a
State ticket iii the field, whether the
Radical factions are at war with each
other or not, let them say that and no
gentleman will question the privilege of
all to have their own opinion, nor i'm
pugn the motives of another for not see
ing the situation as he does.

An UnfnfIhfuI Steward.

1t is well known that the Mississippi
delegation at Baltimore were compelled to
cast the vote Of the State against plat
form which they otherwise warmly APP
sisted on examining into it, and down their
threats, resolution indirectly reproach-
ing the memories of the noble dead and
glorious living of the Confederacy-
resolution which, though gratifying to
the self pride of the North, could have
no effect in the South but causelessly to
wound the sensibilities of her people.
Prominent among the demagogues who
manifested a keen relish for the resolu-
ton was S. j. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
ex-chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Executive Committee, and present
chairman of the Executive Committee of
the remains of the Democratic party of
that State. He has recently issued an
address in the latter capacity to the
people, and, singularly enough, in sum-
ming up the crimes that demand punish
ment, has omitted mention of the most
stupendous of them all-the Salary Steal
1t turns out that this High Priest of a
once glorious party, is himself a Salary
Grabber, and is as deep in the mre as
the worst of the Congressional plumber
ers. 1t has furnished an Administration
paper occasion to say what follows:
Mr.. Randall has put forth a flaming ad-
dress to the Democratic remains in Penn
sylvania, calling upon them to arise and
overthrow the wicked Radicals. He groaDs
over the fearful corruption OF Washington,
and walls over Louisiana. Indeed he can
not say too much about Louisiana, for it /.
his stronghold. But not a word do we find
about that eliminating outrage in the way
of Radical corruption-the back-pay steal
not one reproachfuI word. As that was
about the worst thing done by the last Con
grcss. we are naturally surprised at Mr..
Randall'S silence until we recall certain
facts. The record shows that the Hon. Sam
Randall was one of Buffers steadfast allies
in the putting through of that famous bill.
No party setting itself up as party
Of reform, will command the respect of
the masses which selects such corrup-
tionists as Randall for its oracles. Its
professions will deserve to be regarded rs
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.

a Fraud Exposed.

The communication in the Vicksbnrg
Herald signed Mississippi" and sent
with flourish to the press elsewhere by
its author on its errand of misrepresenta-
ton, is a fraud. To make the covert
stab at US more efectual, he represents
himself to be " denizen" Of this city,
which is false. There are no Conserva-
tive citizens of this town who would say
the things about US which the writer
manufactures to his own order and puts
into their mouths. Nor is this forgery
all. The author evidently seeks TO mis-
lead the public as to his identity IN
speaking of what has {" leaked Olt since
the adjournment Of the Erectdire Committee"
and of what he had gathered in his " lit
tie intercourse with the members. WIN
it not surprise the members II 1t
should turn out to be true that the author
himself is one of their number-that his
sslittle intercourse" was 10 the secret de
alterations Of the body-and that he, the
selfsame individual, is the leaky
vessel" through whom matter which came
before it and was not authorized to be
published, was brawied,
Read the card Of Col. Calhoon, the
mover of the resolutions. He efectually
nails to the counter the insinuation that
we we're privy to their production, or
that the matter contained in the number
of THE CLARION mentioned, had refer
ence to, or intentional bearing upon,
them. The truth is, THE CLARION Of
that date, by the light Of which the Pro-
team correspondent has read several
articles" which he has styled as of g sim
ister significance" because they did not
bappen to accord with his notions-had
been printed before we knew Of the ex-
istence Of the resolutions, or Of the views
of their author. We will add that Col.
| Calhoon, who moved them, is one Of the
rising young men Of the times, on whose
shoulders the responsibilities OF the COM
monwealth Will fall when fossils who are
tagging superfous on the stage and fuss
inc and fretting their brief hour away
sans everything but their capacity TO
vent their disappoIntm'nta and to make
a miserable noise, shall have passed away
forever and been forgotten. He has a
head of his own, which is always level,
and a heart which is always courageous.
He is a conspicuous and prosperous men,
Der of the bar, who had not come upon
the stage TO enjoy lucrative office" be-
fore the war. He has never held one
since, except in the line Of his profession,
and then by the unbought sufrages Of a
patriotic and intelligent constituency,
who honored him for his courage in the
field and his civic virtues at the forum.
Our contemporaries who have been de-
ceived by the imposture are requested IN
fairness to Col. Calhoon, and to our
selves, to publish his card, and this arti-
! Gle.

a yenomOus Vyet-Nur>c.

Nothing within our knowledge is com
parable to the trepidation of the "Ieaky
vessel Of the Executive Committee at the
introduction of Col. Calhoon's resolutions
and the vixen's unfounded suspicion that
The CLARION (for which she has special
tondness) had something to do with their
production. The Times and the Pilot
are agitated by our Question of Num-
bers, but their agitation does not equal
hers. The resolutions, and her fond de-
fusion that she had made pint on
THE CLARION, have plunged her, head
over heels, into loquacity set her to
sending fussy missives to the press under
false eolors, and with immense typograph-
zeal display, headed ''To the Rescue :"
thrown her into spasms and created fears
that she will fret and fume her grimy
life clear away. The absurdness of her
present antics, is, that she never claimed
to be a Democrat in the better DAYS Of
the party. On the contrary, she ex-
hausted whatever gifts she possessed in
abusing it; and now, in her sere and
yellow leaf, she is seized with a strange
hallucination that nothing except her
silly babbfng will preserve it. The old
party outlived her abuse. We ques-
ton if it can survive the venerable ca
daver's wet-nursing.
