IL the effort to throw doubt upon
the truth of some parts of the first
chapter of THE COMETS biographical
sketch of him the Veteran of the
Mercury accuses THE COMET of at
tempting to raise up new conserva-
tive party and to lead it in opposition
to the old Simon Pure Democracy.
As usual the Veteran is very vide of
the mark THE COMET does no: plume
itself as a leader in the first place; it
is not trying to raise up a new style of
party in the second place; it don't
want TO create any diversions or flank
movements in the third place. I'm
like the Mercury THE COMET has
never tried to win glory by spittingon
u emOcratic-C onservative platforms.
What it has labored for and will con-
tinue to labor for, however, is to hold
the old Democratic Ship Of Mississippi
in the hands of its legitimate and 4
proper pilots, and TO put down every /
of turbulent, or cranky, or
mutineers.
TIE COMET believes in moderation
and conservatism and good faith and
and don't fall in line with
stAlwartism or Bourbonism. Conse-
quently it generally differs with the
Lamars Sentinel, the Okolona States,
and other sxtreme or unpracticable
organs.

cane in the hands of Senator Gibbs of
Yazoo. Strange to say, the sympa-
thies OF the Senate were with Col.
Gibbs in the encounter. In fact, Col.
Gibbs was put up to the commission
of the outrage by the other Senators,
and acted simply as their representa-
tive. The Cane was a gold headed
one, of course, and had inscribed on it
words of respect and friendship for
the most distinguished and active

in their body. The speech of Col.
Gibbs In presenting the cane, was in
