The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1875-12-08

The Vicksburg Herald copies a pars.
graph from the Okoloma, Mississippi,
States, in which Gen. b. q. Humphreys
is praised for brilliant speech made to
the remna,t of the Thirteenth Missis-
sippi (Confsderate) regiment. and says:
That's the ticket. Put Ames out, and
put Old Honesty in"
This exclamation, being translated into
a language understandable at the North,
means: "l.et Ames be impeached by the
"Democratic House Of the General As
"sembly of Mississippi, convicted by the
''Senate and ousted from the office Of
"Governor. aud then put Gen. Hum

We are not unaware of the fact that the
Herald is one Of the fiery journals of the
South-one of the ''touch and 60 OFF, pa

are the politicians Of the South, who act
with the Herald, to get up Oh high stills
and tower above ordinary humanity but

enabled, by an exercise of great self.dc-

the Herald and its friends do come to
this conclusion, they will, by their self
denial, by losing an opportunity 10

the land of Lamar, because We will not

peachmcnts for political oncnscs are not
often applau,lcd in this country, even
when circumstances seem 10 justify them.
The men who indulge in them find them
to bc something else than luxurIcs to be
desired, and are always engaged in de-
tense OF their patriotic action IN relation TO
them. This is a fact tho impeachcrs Of

will prove this with great force il the
Democrats Of Mississippi Get Ames out
OF his Office by the impeaching process.
From the moment the trial commences
the Democratic party will he put upon
the defensive. and all tue cloqucnce Of all
our orators and writers who wag Demo-
cratic tongues aud drive Democratic pens
will fail to convince the people Of the
North that the impeachment was not
prompted by the malicious spirit Of the
men who used to stArtle the country with
what was called ths rebel yell.
