a most violent assault upon GoYerno

b, Apart from the injustice done Governor


McNutt, the article displays a most enyious


and malignant intolerance, highly repre-
henslble in paper protesting to be demo-
; cratic. There are a set Of halEand-half
r politicians In this State-never to be de-


pended on when great democratic mea-


snres are at stake-with us one year and


on the nexi--whose merits and services


would not bear the test of an investigation


farther back than the late election. These


men, and their organ at Jackson, would


make "Texas" the test Of political prefer


ineni for the next forty years, were it in


Their power--using it as cloak to hide


their former political sins, and their present


political heresies. Like the "iack o. di. !
munis" to Simon Suggs, it is their main


hope in the game. But they will find that


their luckily hobby is not trumps" this
year that the people are not willing 10
forget and iorego all else, for a question
now seitledj and that they cannot secure
oblivion for their own sins, by unjustifable
and groundless assaults upon old and well
tried public servants. In good time we
shall fehearse some facts in the past poll
lical history of some of these aspirants, at
whose instigation, and for whose benefit, /
hese assaults are made.


AS to Gov. McNuti's course on the Tex
IS question, we can now state confidently.
'n the authority Of one who had opportu-
nlty OF knowing his sentiments, and who ,
heard him speak in the canvass, that he
has always been in favor Of the Annexation
'f Texas--was never welded to any par
icular form Of nnexaiion--never favored !
Benton's bill-and never considered the
assent Of Mexico necessary. He did not ,
ionounce and abuse Democrats who oppo.
Ied Tyler's treaty, because he believed
such an iniolerant and violent course cal +,
'ulated 10 delay, II not utterly to defeat, ;
he great measure Of annexation. We do
not believe that there is in the State more
sincere friend of Texas than Gov. McNutl,
and certainly no one who could give more
efficient aid to the measure if again before


he U. 5. Senate---the wholesale assertions
'f the Reiormer to the contrary notwlh.
standing. In all else that gives claims to !
he station, and to the confidence and CRATE.


ul remembrance Of true donocrats-in in ;
elect, in an Underwriting devotion to the
'ause, in important, neslimable services to
he party, and above all, as the leader and
pioneer of Mississippi democracy in the
most important aud glorious position ever !
assumed by sovereign Staie-in all these !
respects Governor McNuitsiands pre-emi-
nent above all competitors. e
