In another column will be found the bill introduced by Hon. D. B. Seal of Hancock, to reorganize the Fifth Congressional District. We cannot speak for other counties named in the bill, but so far as our own immediate county of Hinds is concerned, we are entirely satisfied with the bill of Mr. Seal. The paramount consideration in legislating on this subject, should be to make sure of Democratic representation; and secondly, reference should be had to geographical convenience and identity of local interests. Dispose of Hinds as you may, tie her on to the Fourth District, or lash her to the Sixth, wherever the flag of the Democratic-Conservative party floats, she will be there with her four thousand majority.
