GRENBACKERS And R4DIC4LS.

: Those not for us are against us
is an old truism, and whether this
be applied to religious, social oil
political relations the truth re,
mains the same. When the old
radical party was driven from pow.
er by the people of Mississippi
there remained none but the demo
cratic party as IA party, and all
went well for a time, but gradually
a few sOre.heads and defeated
aspirants for office became restless,
and feeling sure of their utter ina.
bility to get an Office through the
votes OF democrats, conceived the
idea of forming a new party. In
doing so, in order to make the
child appear as large and grand as
possible, it became necessary to
give it a hieh.Sounding name-a
name under which all men opposed
to democratic doctrille could enlist.
The child was brought forth with
much labor and it was chriStened
"National GreenDack "a very
big name, surely, and we might
say a very pretty name, too, as we
all have a peculiar fondncSS for the
name greenbacks; in fact there is
not a man in the whole range of
our acquaintance who would refuse
to accept any amount Of the ma
TONS greenbacks.
There is, however, one peculiari-
ty about this national greCnback
party which we do not admire. that
is their fondness for the association
OF the old members of the radical
party, which so ~ruthlessly plumber
ed and rIlaged our fair State when
thev were in power, and so long
as tie greenbackers associate with
such men they will be looked upon
with suspicion by the home rule
party OF Mississippi. This is not
only the sentiments of the DEMO
CRAT-STAR and the people of this
section, but also of all democratic
papers that come under our notice.
The following extract is taken from
an editorial in the Natchez Demo-
crat, Il very conservative paper:
Wherever the greenbacker is found there
will be found the fossil Notwithstanding
with him, discussing the chances Of orga-
ni2ing Il new party, and dividing the
chances with the dissatisfied democrat.
The very head of the greeuhack movement
in the State is that willy, oily -tongued old
radical, "Modest Mus" as he is used to
be called, and one OF the sharpcst, slrew-
dest and probably most INSCRIPTIONS of
the carpet-bag crew, who 50 long held the
State under the horrors of ignorant and
INSCRIPTIONS Radical rule. We must
confess III SOUNDS quetrly 10 us TO near
such names as those of Gen. West, Reu-
ben Davis, and Featherstone used in con
with that of Musgroye and other
Radicals whom they and all of the State
only a few years ago denounced as enemies
of the State and all its interests.
The Port Gibson ReveiUe has the
following to say upon this subject:
We are not surprised at Gen. West, and

IsssYs. Eiisors :--0n last Sunday, ! happened to
be at ST. Joseph's Church, and hearing inst a.
ter mass the colored Sunday School would be
organized, I thought that would stop awhile
aud see the performance. and was very much
gratIfied at the result.
Through the exersions and under the super
intendence Of Mrs. DR.. Sutton, the organization
has wonderfully improved and bids fair soon TO
eliminate in the greatest benefit 10 the colcred
people Of this congregation.
Mrs Sutton has also started library for the
benefit Of the colored congregation, and all those
in sympathy with the undertaking, who have
any good books that they can spare, would be
doing an act of charity TO present them to the
library.
Mrs. Sutton will be assisted in her arduous and
self-imposed duties By eight trustees, appointed
for that purpose, with William Thomas for Pres
ident and William Hall IS corresponding secre-
tary. These Ulcers were dressed on Sunday last
in handsome regalia, wearing badges ofofice, etc.
think that Mrs. Sutton deserves q great deal
of praise for her exertions in favor Of the colored
people and bespeak for her the sympathy and
assistance Of all who sympathize with the moral
and mental elevation Of this race in our midst.

doctrine, it would be advisable for GER
tain people known to Us all TO die in

buried there, and for their friends to be
present, and see that no stable manure
is used near their resting places. Wheth-
er the practice, so much in vogue in
Caroline county, has been introduced

where it joins on to Charles, your cor
