This paM fe an exact reprint of «iv of the editorial page of the Democratic paper published, at Okolona, Chickasaw County, Mississippi, September 10, 1879. The name of the paper is "The Southern States." It is as true to Southern Democracy as the needle to the pole.

Hon. Otho R. Singleton.

Representative Otho R. Singleton addressed a large and lively audience at Melver Hall, this city, on the Ist. Round after round and peal after peal «f applause punctuated the many, strong, unanswerable points of his speech. His utterances were calm, logical, regent, and illustrated with anecdotes that poked the boys under the ribs and made teem roar with laughter. Mr. Singleton is a candidate for U. S. Benator, and has long experience in public life, his unflinching fidelity, his high, unquestioned integrity and the ssaaterful grasp of his genius would make him a most royal representative of our people iu the upper House. The States wishes there were two Senators to be elected isl 1880, instead of one. A special telegram to the Cincinnati Enquirer says:—There is good authority for the statement that Lamar Justifies the act of Barksdale in killing Dixon, who was the independent candidate for Sheriff of Yazoo county, Miss. At first the Senator refused to speak upon tee sutyeet to any person, but, since receiving the full particulars of the unfortunate trugHty, he is said to Justify Barksdale’s action p» the ground teat Dixon Induced m the most violent lanjniaro some of the lady members of Barksdale's family.

They say that ws are incapable of self-government; They call us Savages, Barbarians, Zolas, Bashi Bazooka, tec., tec., tee.; 1 They threaten to tramp down nere on a Death-mission like that of 1801, and they swear that “thb nkxt tob” they will not leave a man u nkilled, a bouse unburned, or a grass-blade growing in the whole, wide sweep of the South. Mississippi is the pet aversion—the particular antipathy,—of these Btalwart scoundrels. She forever was. We hope to high Heaven that she forever will be. Tbeir hatred glorifies our grand, progressive State; and the more they hate her the brighter become the sparks and flash of her crown-jewels. Mississippi is as far above her detainers as the stars above the dirt, and they may curse and condemn her until they are dead and damned, but they will never dim one ray of the immortal splendor that circles her imperial brow. Our people do not want the love of the •cabby mud-rills who are howling in our tracks to-day. We would despise ourselves if we had it,—would think that, perhaps, we had some slimy trait of character hi common with our trad ace rB.

We tell them to their teeth, Now, Here, In the midst of their heathenish threats and hellish oaths, That Missistippians thall rule Mittu fWv That the Radical party shall never have the upper hand again in the administration of this State; That notwithstanding the negroes have the majority they shall never have the might) THAT EVERY COUNTY WILL BE* COME A YAZOO AND EVERY PATRIOT A BARKSDALE BEFORE WE WILL SUBMIT TO AFRICAN SUPREMACY. The Yankees may send hither a herd es Blacklegs in bine; We may see the grim gleam of their bayeaeM at eur polls, And hear the tramp—tramp—tramp of their pirate Mldtecy ia Mr streets. No matter. These Federal felons will do the hid* ding of our people as they did it in 1875 and 1876; They will stand hoekand let ns alone; Or they will rue it, right then and there, on the spot, without parley or postponement.
