Democratic party, of the election
Of Col. Manning 10 Congress, from
this district, ii behooves every
democrat and conservative man in
the county to contribute all In his
power to this end.
While it is true thai the prospects
are very good for the democrats to
have control of the next congress
by O majority Of 10 or -, provided
proper management and energy,
with a good degree of zeal should
be put forth by democrats and con.
serYatives in all the districts in the
United States, where elections are
to be held this fall; nevertheless it
is conceded by the very best au-
thorlty on this subject, that owing
to mistakes and bad management
some of the se,0istricts may be
lost to the misunderstanding pos
sibly a bare majority of ONE. In
this event-how very important
that ANY GIVEN district may be car.
ried by the democracy? Then, my
felloW-citizens, let us see to it that
Tippah shall greet her sister coun-
ties of tho End Miss. district, with
the full strength Of the democratic
and conservative party of the coun-
ty for our gallant standard bearer,
Col. Van Il. Manning, at the cleo
ton in November next.
Suppose when the next Congress
meets and the vote is taken for
Speaker when all the districts have
voted except the End Miss, result
ing in a tic between the democrat
ic and republican candidates, and
then this district is called, and Gen.
Chalmers responds, II give the de-
Gliding vote tor the nominee Of the
Radical caucus"-Keifer the mos
obnoxious Of all the Radicals.
