as to undertake to defend the record made

were under the disagreeable necessity OF dis
cussing men instead of measures, and none
could meet the Democrats in joint discus

Kee. Judge Stearns, and myself made few
speeches for Col. Wells, against Howe, the
friend of Ames, and for this Offense We were
called Democrats by Howe and others.
That was q falsehood too infamous for con-

The Democrats, at all times ready to use

seized upon this as a favorable time when our

the following letter, which was read during the
session of the House of Representatives., the
House adopted resolution, by vote of 7S

EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
Messrs Durant and Pryor:
Genttemen-1n reply to your suggestions, I
beg leave to say, that in consequence of the
election of last November, found myself con-
fronted with a hostile Legislature and en-
barrassed and bs fl ed in my endeavors to carry
out my plans for the welfare of my State and
of my party.
1 resolved, therefore, to resign my Office as
Governor of the State of Mississippi, but mean
while articles of impeachment were instituted
against me, and of course 1 could not and
would not retire from my position under the
lmputstion of any charge affecting my honor
or integrity.
For the reasons indicated 1 still desire to
csc tpe burdens which are compensated by no
publ usefulness, aud if the articles of i'm
peachment presented against me were dis
missed, should feel at liberty to carry out my
desire and purpose of resignation. am, very
truly, yours, ADLEBERT AMEs.
At O'Clock the Tmpeac achment Court assem-
oled, and Manager FeathertOn presented the
resolution, and ssked that Impeachment ar
ticles against Gov Ames he dismissed, which
WAS done. Mr. Dnrant, of Gov. Ames' council,
then read as follows:

Auditor lippiucott's ENpln nation.

We publish this morning in another
column, communication from Gen. &.
l.. Lippincott, auditor of public ac-
counts, in which he gives history OF our
railroad bond taxation. II will, we have
no doubt, be- read with interest by our
citizens. We were not at the meeting in
this city referred to by Gen. LippincOtt
at which the subject of the levy of local
bond taxes tor the city OF Cairo and
Alexander county, was discussed; but
we have been informed that some one as
serted at the meeting that Gen. lippin-
colt had wantonly levied in excess OF the
amount required to be raised. This as
scrtion, if made, did manifest injustice
to Gen. Lippncott, rs every one who
reads what he has written on the subjcc
will at once perceive. We are sure not
one of our citizens would do Gen. l.ippin-
colt the wrong to suspect that he exceed
al his duty and went outside OF The law
to put an unnecessary burden of taxation
upon this community. He could have
no good reason for doing such athing,
aud every one who knows him knows
that he il incapable OF purposely doing
any wrong act, either rs an officer or
man. Gen. Lippincotl is mistaken wher
he says upon information that certain OF
our citizens propose to tight the railroad
tax because it is in excess OF the amount
required by law to be raised. They
propose to light it because the rail-
road debt was made under u prom
Use by the State that II has not OF
served. In another column we briefly
discuss the question of the oppressivene'
of the railroad tax.
