Clarion-Ledger clipping

J. Aaron Moore figured prominently in the Alcorn-Ames wrangle in the Senate. It was the boast of Alcorn that he took the martyr to Meridian in the late canvass. He said: "I took him to Meridian with me and showed him to the people. I made the point in my speech of having Mr. Aaron Moore there." It was to this grand entry that Aaron referred in the conclusion of the following letter which we have copied from the Gazette:
