Political parties learn very slowly the les

and seem to be acting wisely and discreetly,
but with the return of anything that has
the appearance of success, or that seems
like restoration of popular confidence, it
quickly repeats the story of Jeshurun's

characteristic, in greater or les degree, of
both parties; but, as the Tribune has often
heretofore pointed out, and as the history

cracy has oftener illustrated it, and oftener
earned defeat thereby. The spells of the

Reo-gpni1a.ion Movement

From the Ripley Adveftiser.l
According to previous appoin tment,
On Saturday last, there was meeting
composed of quite respectable number
Of our leading and most substantial cit
liens from all portions of the county, for
the purpose of taking steps looking TO a
thorough organization of the Democratic
Conservative party. Hon. W. A. Boyd
was elected as Chairman of the meeting,
and Capt T. B. Winston as Secretary
Thus organized the meeting proceeded to
business upon its subject being explained
by the Chairman. Able and interesting
speeches were delivered by Capt. Thos.
Spight, Col. d. B. Wright, Col. w. c.
Falkner, and Capt. Francis A. Wolf,
in the order in which their names appear.
A committee of five, one from each
Police District, was appointed TO draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting. The committee retired and
soon thereafter reported a series of reso-
buttons, which were unanimously adopted,
and which substantially favored the organ
ization of the Democratic Conservative
party and recommended that Conven-
ton be held at Ripley some time in Sep
TENDER next for the purpose Of pOmina-
ting a candidate for State Senator,
with the concurrence of Benton and
Union, and also to nominate a represen-
tative for this county in the Legislature.

Sensible Ideas OF Col Lamar ON the Sub

Vicksburg Herald.


In writing at a late hour Thursday
night, we failed to express accurately,
the views of Col. Lamar in regard to the
calling of Convention As the organ
ization of the party has been confided to
a committee of gentlemen from every
quarter of the State, representing every
shade of political opinion, and as that
COMMITTEES is to meet on the 18th instant
while he favors an early and thorough
organization or the party, he thinks the
form of that organization should Re left
exclusively to the members of the Com
mittee. Believing that they will reflect
the views of the people in every part of
Mississippi, Col. Lamar thinks the ques-
ton of Convention or no Convention
should be RENTED to their unbiased de-
cision, and that any conclusion reached
by them, will produce entire harmony
among our people, and give assurance of
a signal triumph in November.
