--UTTERLy RoUTgD-THR SoUTH VICTORIOUS.
We have glorious news from Talladega. The
submissonists, and unionists par ercellence, of
that county, had appointed the 18th instant for
general rally Of their forces at the Court House;
they had been summoned from the highways
and byways-a universal drumming up had been
carried on for some days previous to the meet
ing, and their movements ON that day seemed
to indicate apparent confidence in Their success.
wen, the time arrived, and the people with it
they Hooked in from all quarters-the meeting
was organized according to previous arrange

But it was pill they did not like to swallow

parts This was quickly done !; and it was found
to contain quack nostrums from some political
medicatir, that free people were not in the
habit OF having administered to them. The old
family physician was present, and was consulted
as to the nature Of the medicine which had been
prescribed-he ut once pronounced the whole
thing humbug, and wrote prescription which
was ut once taken down by the people, which
restored the body of the meeting to health and
vigor. True, the disciples of the quaeks made
some wry faces and exhibited some qualms of the
stomach, but their noses were held, and in spite
Of little sputtering they were made to swallow,

proceed: Gen. J. T. Bradford then offered set
OF resolutions breathing true devotion to the
Union, the Constitution and the South, of which
the following are a. fair specimen, 1--WE regret that
we have not room for the whole Of them) which
were substituted and adopted by an overwhelin-
ing majority. Well done, patriots of Talladega.
We glory in being fellow-citizens of such noble
fellows. We respond to the call of our friends
of the Watchtowcr-one hundred guns for Tai
Iadega!
Resolved, That the Union is the mere creature
of the Constitution that those who knowingly
and wilfully violate or destroy the Constitution,
ought to be regarded as the enemies of the Union,
whatever may be their motives or their profas-
sions; that those who adhere strictly to the
Constitution, are really the friends of the
Union, however much they may be denounced
as "traitors, ultras, factionists, nuiiers or dis
unionists"
Resolred, That the North does offer to Violate
the Constitution and to destroy to great tx
tent, the benefits and protection which it guar
antees to the South. That thereby the North
is putting the Constitution and the Union II,
danger, and forcing upon the South the neces-
sity Of giving up either the North or the C0nsti-
tuition. That the South cannot allow the North
to destroy the Constitution, but the South is
determined TO preserre that Coastilution and tD
lire under il. And if the North is determined
not to regard the Constitution and our rights as
therein guaranteed, we will give up the North
and hold fast to that Constitution which was
designed by our revolutionary sires, under the
blessings of Heaven, to be to us and all their
descendants, "a pillar Of cloud by day, and IL
pillar of fire by night ,'
Resolved, That we are willing, rs long MS cur
lives la t, to live in the Union even with Abol-
tionsts, provided they riH adhere strictly, stet4-
fastly and in good faith, 10 The Constitution Tut
we have no snch devotion 10 Union with Abo-
litionists, which is perverted by them and which
is used by them rs a mere pretext under which
they proceed to destroy the Constitution and
our political equality, and to subject us to their
foul domination, and finally to degrade us to a
level with the negro race.
Resolved, That Texas claims the same boun-

sovereign right, duly defined by her law of limits
of 1886, That she has uniformly since 1896.
claimed the same and no other boundary-that
with this boundary her independence was recog-
nized by the United States and other nations
long before her annexation to the United States:
that if the effort is made to wrest any portion of
her territory from her, by the army Of the United
States, the cause of Texas will Be the cause of
the entire South.-Adrertiser aud State Gazette,
