The stale senator hip.

Speaking cf the State Senator
ship in connection with the candi.
dacy of Henderson, OF Jackson, and
harris, of Poinselt, together with
the tacit understanding that the
office was to be filed IN turn by the
counties forming the district, the
Jacksonport ReraH says:
"It looks greedy and illiberal
now for Jackson and Polnsett to be
claiming the senatorship under these
circumstances and these features
are aggravated by thc fact that both
in Jackson and Poinsett the oppo.
sllion to the clam OF Mississippi
comes from former Incnmbents OF
the office, which Mississippi helped
to elect. We are for fair play, and
while We might prefer Il senator
from our own county, yet IN justice
to our SISTER county oi Mississippi,
We think IT clearly the duty OF the
convention to endorse the choice
of that county-John Il. Driver
as good man rs can be found in
the three counties
There is ring Of the genuine
mcttlc ia the above, which brcathcs
and cvinccs n spirit of fairness,
which we hope to see fully and sub
stantially endorsed by the people
Of the district at the polls, at the
coming election. 1t was n point,
strenuously urged, in the last cam
paign by our venerable friend Capt.
Harms, in MI his speeches in this
county, that Mississippi would be
entitled to the next Senator, and
promised his support, If the people
would stand by hlm. They did so,
and he was elected. Now lot him

of the Arkansas Supreme Court,
under the rulirgs OF Chief Justice

as n iurst, he regarded English rs

Watch and DC sober.

There are some changes IN pub
he opinion that even q blind man
can see, and changes for the better
at that. Anybody can see that the
thinking part of the community
have at last walked up to the fact
that man ought to be put IN office
for the sake Of the people, and not
for the sake of the man. The ques-
ton Eow il, if we eject the man,
can he serve the people with abih-
ty and integrity2 is it TO the inter
est OF the people to elect him ? Is he
the right man for the place? The
candidate may be a good fellow,
popular and kind hearted, but is he
untitled for the place ? If he is un-
fitted tor IT, and below his opponent
in ability and qualifications, are we
to put him in office SIMPLY 10 please
HIM We think that candidates will,
IN the approaching election, find
that qualifications and capacity for
usefulness, the main test with the
people. We want men who can
actually think and act for the pub
lie welfare. The sour mash politi-
clan, we take it, will find his charm
broken ia the election, and Il capac,
ity to guzzle whisky all day Will
not be first class recommendation,
even with the men who drink it
themselves. In fact, there are very
few men in tins county at the pres
ent time, willing TO sell their ballots

and no man worthy OF the sacred
trust viii barter IT away for whisky.

our citizens, White and colored, will
unite, and denounce aud discourage
every attempt to debanch the poo,

should remember, that in choosing
his officers, he is entrusting his life,
liberty and property TO the keep

years, and that it is the highest and

resume their sovereignty, and de-
eide upon the future otthe country,

We have been informed ola reli-
gious minister Of this place having
made the effort to induce candidates
TO enter into written agreement
not to use whlskey among the yot-
ers in the approaching canvass.
Some were willing, while others
refused. There can be but one
motive, and that disreputable one,
for a candidate TO put the bottle to
the mouth OF The voter. He wants
to corrupt him, degrade hun and
reduce HIM to the level Of a bribe,
paid in whiskcy. Lettho thinking,
intelligent men and women of the
county reflect upon this awful fact
that Il soul, mind and body destroy
ing agency is regarded by candi-
dates as too potent engine in car
rying elections TO be given mp, even
when appealed to by Il minister of
religion in the interest of society.
If every good and patriotic citizen,
white and colored, will make up his
mind to dcnounce and discourage
this species Of bribery among the
people, VIC will have a sober clec-
ton, and men will be elected on
thelrmerits, and not because Of their
protuse libcrality in dispensing
cheap whisky. If candidates are
afraid to agree to do right, the peo-
pie can bring them to their senses
by sitting down on the man that
trys to brlbe them with whisky.
What the minister could not effect,
the people can, and we believe will
eiiectually accomplish.
