THE Starkyille Ledger publishes
a series Of resolutions passed by the
Democratic club Of that town, among
which we find the following:
"3rd. That we feel doubly gratifed
at the nomination from the fact that
Robert Lowry is a native Of Missis-
sippi and should he become her
Chief Magistrate, he will be the first
Of quite a long line Of Governors
who was born and reared upon her
soil"
Unless the Brandon Republican
the home organ OF Gen. Lowry is
making one Of its crude attacks''
upon our next Governor, the resolu-
tionabove is quoted a little too pre-
vio1s. Col Frantz says:
"GeR Lowryls a native Of Ches-
terrified District, s. g. In bis boy
hood he came to Raleigh, Smith
county, and lived With his uncle.
Judge Lowry. After remaining there
several years he removed to Brandon,
where, with The exception of few
years, he has continuously resided
la January 1860 he commenced the
practice Of law, and except when in
the army has devoted himself to that
professiOn."
