county was nominated at Jackson for
Governor by the Soreheads, Radicals
and Grecnbackers ofthat State. King
is wealthy man, and has heretofore
acted with the Democratic party. But
having got the gubernatorial bee in
his hair, he has undertaken the leader
ship of the incongruous bands in
Mississippi opposed to the Democracy
Old fashioned Radicalism smells so
foul in the nostrils of the country
that it is very likely Kings following
will endeavor to represent themselves
as exclusively Greenbackers and In
dependents. But the fact cannot be
disguised that all the old Radical
plunderers are in their ranks and are
stalking their hopes on Kings election.
For the purpose disappearing King
and his ticket the Mississippi Republi-
can has been revived and has alIeady
begun bowling in the old Radical
fashion. The first number Of that
delectable sheet denounced present
Administration of the State as a vile
usurpation declared that the present
Legislature could make no laws enti-
tied to obedience; that the judiciary
can make no adjudication between
individuals, and that the executive
officers are mere trespassers without
authority, etc.
In short, the programme as laid
down by Mr.. Kings chief organ, is
most recklessly and criminaIIy reyolu-
tionarv. Wemake the following ex-
tract from it, that our readers may see
that the Radical spirit of revolution
and disorder, not vet dead, is para
ding again under the banners OF the
Greenbackers and independents of
Mississippi. Says the Republican {:
The existing State government is
OF purely revolutionary and violent
origin. limo sense is it government
of the people or for the people. On
the contrary, itisa deliberately formed
conspiracy on the part Of a closely conf
pacted minority, torepress the popular
will and to hold on to power in spite
oft. All its pretended legislation has
been directed to this end. and its exec
utive and judicial departments have
been filled and administered with a
view to the same corrupt design. In
this view of the well known and
admitted facts, our so-called State
government becomes naked usurpa-
ton its pretended legislatures can
enact no laws entitled to the obedience
Of the citizen its corruptly appointed
judiciary can make no final adjudica
ton of rights as between individuals
its executive officers, when they under
take to carry any of its behests into
effect are mere trespassers, and the
!. certificates and other authorization:
of it's ministerial officers import NJ
verify. In short, having no sucl
government as the supreme law of the
land guarantees to US, we have NJ
government at all
Pie time has passed when sucl
revolutionary schemes as those utter
ances portend can be regarded will

terial interests are now on a solid basi
