The Union Meeting and the Delta.

We cheerfuly recommend to the several editors
ct the Delta not to shoot wildly as to make one
Of their articles of one day clash with those O
another. 1t is calculated to cause some suspicion
as to their sincerity. In their number of the 1911
instant we find the following

Considering the fact that the Delta has gne.
cially espoused the cause of Mr.. SouIe. this
sounds we'll; and all Of us can echo the sen.
lment. But after the meeting is ever-after as
true and good democrats as the editors of the
Delta, and as good wings as live, have united
in appointing a committee 10 arrange A preat
Union meeting, to which Senators Downs and
foote-triends of the aforesaid compromise, with
which the Delta is satisfied-were 10 be invited
we behold the following expressions in an arti-
Gle, the confused and muddy style of which il
not characteristic of the articles which ordinarily
appear IN the Delta's editorial columns:
But nadvebom editor, who teaches excathed,a has
ing gasng gr fnS de Of speaking and
sutuuohs ana organic law Of his country.''
We have no doubt this is true. If il were
| not, there Is no excuse for tile Delta, We con.
graduate them on having mastered life's hardest
| lesson" know myself" What the balance of
the article means, we have not been able to con-
celVe' IN our widest range of conjecture, unless,
peradVenture, it may signify that the Fugitive
slave bll does not operate to suit the SoulS
Clique. One sentence reads thus:
II we rejoice over the refusal of Congress to protect By
res why should we SbSdsfGoHgL rghts in the terrific
sgLSsatIgs protection Of important rights 10 The
What does this mean, but that Congress has
aohe holhlng to protect our rights, either in the
Territories or in the States Therefore the gov
eminent IS determined to crush the South, and is
not capable OF executing her own laws. Armies
and naUes bow down to the potency of the Deltas
wisdom and virtue How strangely the sentence
reads along side of some written but the day be-
fore. Listen! " No one here proposes dtsu3,ioa
on account ofthe Compromise Blu"
Then what mean these fumigations, because the
crescent has dared to commend the spirit of the
Territorial bills, which leave slavery free to po
10 the Territories or not and has said that the
constitution recognizes slaves property to every
species OF which it affords ample protection. If
the Constitution does not "spread its powerful |
arm over It's own territory, its own citizens |
and their property, American Independence was
achieved IN vain, and the world must 90 to the |
ooions oil the Delta for bills of rights and con-
sutuhon OF government.
we doubt very much, however whether thew are
m earnest They are probably writing to fiji nm
their paper with one thing to-day and another TO-
morrow so as to catch somebody, or stand the
chance, out OF such variety of sentiment of haviny
correctly proPhecied that the COW would eat mn
he grindstone." vat up
