the Legislature will call for them. Until such

Brooke are trespassers, and Gov. Stone will be
justified in ordering him to attend to his o,on

thing let him send Col Brooke to the Indian
Territory. His presence in Mississippi is not
needed, and should not be tolerated

THE SPIRIT OF THE LATE MISSISSIPPI CAMPAIGN.
tAberdeen Examiner, July 26, 1851
God gave the victory to a people who were
contending for liberation from the bssest thral-
dom ever endured by civilized race; and who
would have been justified in swinging up their
oppressors as food for the buzyards to the 5ouqhs

Ii the negroes of Pike County desire to con-
tinue the amicable relations now existing be-
tween them and the whites, to have their
rights respected, and to prosper, let them prove
it by organizing Democratic clubs and by yot-
ing for Tilden and Hendricks.
A SUGGESTIVE "MARGIN'-INTlMIpATIo MADE
EASY.
On the 9Th of July last the United States
G-and Jury, sitting at Oxford, Miss, made its
report, stating, among other things, that "the
fraud, intimidation and violence perpetrated at
the last election is without parallel in the an
nails of history" but also pointing out some of
the defects in the National Election law, and
their failure to find indictments in conse
quence. Reviewing this report the Meridian
(Miss) Mercury is led to say:
The lesson we draw for our benefit from
this report and action of this packed Jury is,
that there Is quite margin for Intimidation be-
t,oeen as and the boundaries of the tam and ,ce
can govern ourselUes accordingEy."
