A meeting was called to know the mind
of the parish. M don’t see any oae’n

Mr. Sharp wasa man of consequence,

idea. “That would he a minister worth

-Sim—I hav« had tbe honor to receive/
to day, your note of the 25(1 v with that
of the 19ib just., informing me ef the
uroceedinga of .tbe late Whig Cooven'
uou.at Bakimore. by Aty name, aa a can
didate for the Vice Presidency, in as
sociation with that of Mr. Fjllmore fbF
the Presidency, has received the unani-
moos vole of tbe delegates comprising
tluit Convention.
Such a testimonial of public confidedke.
by distinguished and leading members of
a part *, upon which I bad no other ciaim
than that of fidelity to principles which
should be common to all parties when 7 ,
tke country is in .danger, is received
with, feelings, fer the expression of
which, I can find no adequate language.
I can only .say to you. Sir, in reply,'
that it has been my effort, through life,-
to follow tbe great lights to which we
are indebted for our happy form - of
government, and that there is no saeri-
fh-e which I am not willing to make in
order to maintain it in its original’
purity..
Tbe evil of the day is seetionalism,
and the country can tiud no repose until
this dangerou* spirit is rebuked by the
voiye of the people, animated as they’
were in the days- of Washington, by a'
holy love for the Yni>-n, and determin
ed to withhold thcit'confideuce from those
who do not ^regard its preservation as
the'paramount object of their lives.

Of all the pha-es-of proscription, this
is the nit^t-abominable and disgusting.
Nu Ptfet master, arhile discharging (he
duties of his -office^can contply with the
demands of this secret Democratic cir
cular without e**mmitiHSg prejury ; and;
bofrtote this Mississippi- Post Master
whs teo honest to {rerjure himself at the
tyratonicel dictation of hts party-man
agers', he is proscribed and -removed
firdmfhisvltice. 1 What will be the next
abomination resorted to by the unscru
pulous tricksters of the- Sham Democ
racy of the'present day ? It praaarib^d
Bnmsort, of New - York, because he
would' not appoint Preesmlets to the
subordinate offices in the New York
Custom House. It proscribed an hon
est Post'Master in Mississippi becanse
he- would not perjure himself tb contri
bute a portion of his small salary to tht
enormous Democratic corruption'fund
No m-*re hideons proscription than this
can be conceived.' Will the hnhese
people sustain such deep and damning
corruption? ‘We think not: TIhhis
ands and tens of thousands of hottest
Democrats will shriek with horror, and
seorn v and loathing, from any participa
tion in such abominable' viieness.—
