THE CLARION is generous enough to
admit the defeat of the Democracy in
North Carolina, and attributes the blame
to the bad leaders of the Democratic
party --Prairie News.
No sir. THE CLARION says no such

feat of the Convention was not Dem
ocratic defeat.

INSULTS RESENTED. We learn from
friend that while the Utica anti Radical

Vaught's Old Field, in Copiah county, on
Friday, 9th lust, some Radicals on the
roadside insulted and began to abuse the
colored members of the club, who were
at the head of the procession. The in

but it is generally believed that no more
professions of that sort will be tainted in
that neighborhood.
