only through patriotic and un selfish union

First, That we cordially endorse and rati-
fy the State and county nominations made
by the convention of August lst. and Sept.
9th respectively, and pledge our most earn
est efforts to the trium phaHt election of each
and every candidate so nominated.
I'd. That division means an appeal to the
worst elements OF the Radical party to de-
termine the result in the approaching elec
tion, and NAV be ACCOMPLISHED "a sncress
fully by apathy and Indifference as by open
rupture; that neither personal grievance
or inordinate lust for office, will Justify Anv
coalition with our political enemies that
no other cause exist for an independent
movement in this county that those who
lend their names or influence to such a
scheme shall be treated as if in open and

and as disguised enemies of honest and good |
government.

In Lincoln and some other counties
/ Farmers Associations have been formed
with a view to demand a stipulated
price (say ID cents pound) for cotton
of the merchants in payment Of their ac-
counts. As our readers have already
been advised, the cause assigned for this
step is the stringency of the times, and
the alleged high prices charged by the
merchants for articles furnished during
the season. The farmers state that at
present prices, notwithstanding the reduc-
tion of taxes by the present State Ad-
ministration, their homesteads and all
they possess will be sold to satisfy mort
cages, deeds of trust, etc, ETC. We
have no apprehension that the movement
will be carried to any serious extremity
1t will no doubt result in arrangements
which Will in the end result favorably to
both parties, neither of whom are in a
condition to precipitate actual collisions.
IF it should result in a better under
standing, as we hope it will, between the
merchant and farmeF, a re-adjustment
of the lien laws and restriction of the
credit system more caution in the crea-
tion of debts; economy; and the habit of
the necessaries of life at home
the movement will be attended with no
permanent injury to either party. We
trust that all will act in spirit Of com
promise, and with prudence and moder
alton.

Cor. Memphis Appeal
On yesterday, according to previous ap.
pointment, Governor j. NJ. Stono addressed
large and enthusiastic assent lage OF the
sovereigns at city hall, in Corinth, Missis-
slppl. The governor was in excellent trim
and made telling and vigorous effort. In
deed, with practice, he promises to become
a most ell, ctive stumper. lie reviewed
the history of the State during carpetbag
rule, and showed by an array OF facts and
figures how the treasury had been robbed
by the harpies of the north. He drew a
striking picture of the reduction of eX-
penseS under Democratic rule, and
predicted the coming of the better time the
rosy dawn of which was already breaking.
Governor Stone advocated strict allegi-
ance to the party flag, and deprecated in
vigorous style the independent movement
cropping out over the State. Governor
Stone was frequently eheered throughout
his speech, and the evidences of welcome
on the part OF his old neighbors and friends
were both hearty and abundant.

THE HINDs COUNTY GAZETTE
amends our proposition that the United
States Government be induced to relin-
quish the lands belonging to it in this
State, for the purpose of building a rail
road from the center of railroad commu-
nication in the State to the seashore,
with the following suggestion:
The lands are useless to the General Gov
ernment, dead expense, and will ultimate
" be given away, if not stolen. Let the
Government provide by law Tor their dana
ton to any and all Railroad COM panies in
the State that may be built or that may ex-
tend their lines after a certain day, say
Jan. l, 1S7S--let the land be granted as the
railroad is fully constructed, mile by mile,
and at the rate, say, of $500 or 5000 acres
per mile. This is the proper and only prop
er disposition TO make Of these lands. The
Western lands have been devoted to rail-
roads--the few Southern lands that are left
may well be applied in the same wap.

DEMOCRATIC RULE.

In 1876, 6la mills on the dollar S6 30 on l ,O0t
In 1877, 9 800 Z" 1,00t
This is a reduction in 1877 FROM the
taxes of 1875 of 81 25 on the thousand
and from the taxes of 1874 $500 on the
thousand 1t must be borne in mind
that of the five dollars on the thousand
now levied, two dollars of the amount
is levied to pay the bonded debt of the
State. This debt was created under
Radical rule, and though it has to be
paid by the Democratic government.
cannot be properly charged to it. The
tax levied for the general expenses of the
State under Democratic rule is only three
dollars on the thousand, a difference be-
tween the Radical government Of 1875 of
S6. %, and of 1874, of $11.00 on the
thousand.
With such record as this, we have
too much faith in the patriotism and in
telligence of the people of Mississippi to
believe that they are prepared to e6-
change Democratic for an Independent,
or any other kind of government,
as such an end can only be ac
by the aid and assistance of
the voters and abettors of the defunct
Radical party.

into Republican newspaper office with

from the accounts which we personally
had from numerous citizens of the coun-

The lesson taught by Jefferson coun-
