From the Soutkroa.
They can't deny the ( old DOcuments.'
I'VE have nothing to say Of the extracts which
the Southron. with such relish, parades before
It's readers, taken from Tie old aies Of the Mis-
sissippian -MississiPpian. Sept 20, l849.
That is just what we expected. We know
that you and your nominee would have s moth
ingto say,' but, five are not greatlymistaken,
the people will have something 10 say on the
subject, that will tell on a count OF the vote in
November next.
What do those extracts J show4 Why, that
Gen. Quitman WIS
A supporter Of John Quincy Adams in 1894;
His supporter and committeeman in 1898
The opponent Of Gen Jackson in 1924,
His bitter opponent in 1928,
The decided and active opposer of : all tl
measures Of his administration-that is to say,
The enemy Of all those great measures on
which the prosperity and glory Of the country
have, as you pretend, rested;
He opposed Jackson because he opposed tho
old United States Bank;
He opposed Jackson because he opposed in
ternal Improvements;
He opposed Jackson because he opposed a
distribution Of the proceeds Of the public lands;
He opposed Jackson because he opposed
Notification;
He opposed jackson because no issued the
Specie Circular and opposed the State Bank
System;
de opposed jackson because he advocated
pre- omption aud cheap lands to the actual set.

He opposed, in word, as you said In 1886,
and are compelled to admit now, all the meas
urss Of Gen. Jackson's Administration =!
When you are thus, by constraint of Old
Documents compelled TO admit that your pre-
sent nominee is answerable for these great sins
against your own democracy, who could have
supposed you 10 possess the hardihood Of
attempting to gull the people by such a sham
as may be seen 10 the folio wing extract, which
we take from that same article in the Missis-
sipPian Of Sept. 90, 1849?
"It, in the course of a long career, he [Quit-
mani has not at all times squared his course By
that Of The Missssippian, we yet have the proud
satisfaction to know, that he is the choice Of
the whole democratic party Of the State. We
know that such men as Roger and Elder and
Fox and Barton and Joe Matthews, accord 10
him their most hearty support--and when we
are found battling side by side with such steady
champions OF the good old cause, we feel and
Snow that we are right"
Isnot that the very s~ublimity Of CANNON?
When Il il shown that Gen. Quitman tl0ice
advocated the election of Adams, what does
that amount toa When itsis proved that he
thee times opposed the election Of jackson,
and utterly opposed all the measures of his
administrati6n-the overthrow Of the United
States Bank, Of internal improvements, disiri-
button, notification, the State Bank syltem,
monopoly Of public lands, &C., what is the an
Do they admit that Quitman was no
democrat? Oh no! But they say all this goes
to prove that he has not at all times squared
his course by that Of the Mississippian'! HE
may have beeni say they, a very good demo-
crat, and yet have had d little fracas with the
Mississippian, and it is quite certain that he'll
