The Union contemplated by our constilu-
ton was designed to secure State harmony.
But instead Of this much desired object we
see one halfOf the States engaged in COM
hitting spoliations upon the Others. The
great danger which our loreathers appre,
hended, was that State pride would prevail
over federal and that the State sovereigntieD
would by degrees make dangerous inroads
upon the Prerogatives of Congress; the re-
verse however is the case. It was thought
by the trainers of the constitution, that mer
would be elected upon questions Of State
policy mainly "instead Of that men are cleo
ted generally, even to the most trivial off,
ces of State, according to their Fedora
politics, and that is consolidation.
Thus the progress of consolidation la.
been so great, as atlength to result in q co.
alition of halfthe States having majority o
the population, TO Cypress the other half
and through the influence Of parties in Fed
eral politics, to obtain in such an attemp
the support Of a portion Of the Representa,
lives, aud people of the victim States.-2Re

THE MEETING.

Well! the joint meeting Of Southern
Rights men and of Submissionists has pas
sed, and we will give an account of it
which all will acknowledge is candid and
fair. The meeting was large, the discuss
ion protracted and the strong resolutions of
the committee were lost by eight votes.
This result is easily accounted for. The
vote was taken at late hour when many
of the advocates of Southern rights from
the county had left for home. Some Of
them had been assured, to our certain
knowledge, shat the probability was the
discussion would continue so late that the
meeting would adjourn to future day,
when she vote would be taken. Our naQ1-
ortiz here iR tie Cery stronghold Of tie
oDpoSition qcaS erident and deciSice until
it was destroyed by the causes mentioned.
We know, 700, of several members Of the
meeting who in the "noise and confusion
did not vote understandingly. Yet the in
significant majority of eight alone signal
lied the struggle of the submissionists
here in their very strong hold, and
they retired from the hall in haste without
attempting to pass the resolutions favorable
to the odious compromise, and then the
meeting adjourned without eFecting any
thing.
A large majority of the substantial men
of Yazoo, Wings and Democrats, are with
us, true as steel. In the ranks of Southern
Rights men, we are proud to number sucl
firm ard unhnching wings as Harris, Gus
ack, Quackenboss, the Pughs and other.
we might mention. One of these gentle
men was president of the Rough ant
Ready Club during the last Presidential
contest, the late wing candidate for Secre
tary Of State, and another is one Of the
most popular club orators in the Wing
ranks. But IN the present contest, whig
and democrats in the South, are casting
party far from them, and coming up like
patriots to the rescue.
At O'Clock a meeting Of Southern
Rights men was held. We refer to thei
proceedings in another column. The,
breathe the spirit that animated the patriot
of the revolution. The Southern men o
Yazoo send greeting to their brethrei
througout the South! These resolution
speak their sentiments and with them the
will sink OF swim. Let the Abolitlonist
take heed. The fire is kindled in the hos
ON of an outraged people; and woe to thos
who brought the country to its present di;
tracted state.

Z. .wHsas LIES THE RESPONSIBILITY


"The Yazoo Democrat describes the
South as completely ovetstocked with ne.
grOes, as prevented by the action Of Con-
gress from moving slavery foot from where
it is, and as 'hemmed in with this danger
Gus element ofru;n, and no prospect Of Civ
ing it an outlet;" it also wishes to know,
what will be the finale? '-NGtchcz Cour.
The Democrat described" no such thing;
and the base attempt to thus pervert our
meaning, is in perfect keeping with the
Yankee Editor Ofthe Courier.
We spoke only of the future; and assn
ming as present the time when, by the natu-
raj increase of the negroes, and their emi.
gra ion from the States that will soon be
free, the South would be "overs,ocked' with
them, and "hemmed IN by the action OF
Congress" slavery would then prove dan
gerous element of ruin, and to use the Ian
guage Of our article, we would have to but
cher the slaves or be butchered by them.
Il is impossible for the Courier or the South
to get rid OF this finale dy laisehoods, or
by unfair and garbled extracts from cotem-
pOraries. After the man of straw thus Gre"
aTed is demolished by valiant Giles, the
"fnale" still looks as full iu the face, and
we hope the Courier will have the airnes.
and holiness to return its gaze, for which
purpose the Editor Of the "Free Trader
will kindly loan him pair Of spectacles.
AS to the action of Congress, we pre-
sumo the Courier will not deny, but that the
action of the people ofCalifornia was infor
NAL and illegal, and therefore void; ant
could only be made legal, or of any binding
force, by the action Of Congress, in waving
all informally, Congress thereby becoming
responsible for the wholestransaction.

d. WALKER,

Tln the United Kingdom of Great
Britain; Ireland and Scotland, it is estima-
ted, that there is one in every five of the
population who are paupers-more or less
dependant upon public or private charity
for their daily bread. This wretched con-
dition Of SO large portion of the popula-
ton, must have its source in the govern,
ment under which they live. Nothing
surely can be found to justify it in the soil
or climate. The one is fertile almost be.
yond comparison, and the other naturally
salubrious and healthy. While the loca-
ton of the Kingdom is so happy, as to con-
stitute it the centre of the commercial
world. In fact, every thing, aside from its
government, conspires to make it one OF
the most happy and comfortable abodes OF
man, any where to be found Oh the broad
green earth. Yet in its midst onc-Jffth oil
the whole population are beggars-and live
furnishing, in rags for the comforts and
necessaries of life. Why is this so-where
is the evil? If in the government where
can we see it?-Greenuikke Spy.
Think ofit! one-Jfftb of the entire popu.
lation of Great Britain are beggars! The
condition OF our slaves prevent them from
being placed in this lamen:able state
The slick faced, well fed and well clothed
negro, is infinitely better off than that oS the
English pauper. Strange sort of philan.
thropy that can overlook SO much misery
at home and select our Southern slave al
fit subjects Of so much comeniseration.
