Our pledge and its Fulfilment.
We solemnly promised our readers that we would prove that "Robert J. Walker was a tool in the hands of his party for the purpose of intentionally deceiving the people." The redemption of that pledge is in this day's paper, and we respectfully ask our readers to examine it carefully, and decide whether we have redeemed our promise to their entire satisfaction. Any candid man who thinks we have not we would be glad to hear him say so, for we intend much fairness and candor on this subject.
We remind our readers that this is not a question relating merely to Mr. Walker- very far from it. It is the Senate of the United States which we look at. And it is for the people to say whether Mississippi shall be represented there by this man of all principles, or by the trustworthy, talented, honest and upright statesman and orator, S. S. PRENTISS.
