Give VI the Names.

The submission papers made great ado about
the 626 names, appended to the call for the
Na;chez Union Meeting We subjoin from the
Natchez Free Trader, an exposure of the trick
resorted to in that affair.
We also publish demand made by the Angus
ia Constiiutionalist, for the names of a similar
call at Augusta If some of the people of some
of the large towns at the South have no more
spirit than to become the suburbs of Northern
cities in feeling, principle, interest," and trckey
We shall endeavour to let the planters and farm
ers understand them
SHAMEFUL FRAuD-When the Courier pub
lished list of above 500 persons in favor of a
meeting to approve of the adjustment bills, and
when that paper referred to the number of voters
in the county, and to the number who were alb
sent who favored those measures---we must con-
TESS that W" were surprised at the strength of
that party in this county. But when the meet
ing was held, and was much less than we or its
friends anticipated, we We're induced to inquire
how such difference should exist between the
list and the meeting!
| We were aware that the county had been dir
gently canrassed to get subscribers but we had
supposed that it would be fairly done. Let a
few facts show how far snch is the case
Boys of eleven and twelve years old are on
the list--we will mention Stephenson Archer
ind Stephenson w. Turpin, as of those ages
We see number Of other youths on the list
Strangers and tr ,nsient persons are on the list
We see Il number of names which we know MOTH
ing abont, and citizens Of Louisiana are on the
list. Now We are pleased to see little boys
and even transient persons take an interest in
(, the great questions of the day--but we object
to Adams county being judged by Il simulated
and made-up list.
| Here the matter is understood but this impo-
sition is intended for abroad. And we fell bound
to hold it up to the scorn which such trickery
deserves
PUBLISH THEIR NAMEs-A call is made in
the Chronicle d Sc1Ainel of Yesterday under
the head, "A Rally for the Union," of the
citizens of Richmond County, without respect
to political parties, who are opposed to resis-
lance to the late action of the United States
on the territorial and slavery questions" to
meet at the City Hall on Saturday, 18th inst
The editors Of the Chronicle d. Sentinel state
in paragraph referring to it, that this call is
serted "a, the suggestion Of many of our most
respectable and influential citizens; among ,ohou,
zoe are ET0tlNF0 10 announce are n1Pn OCcnpDino
prominent and distinguished position In BOTH
POLITICAL PARTIES"
If there any Democrats shedding promi
nent and distinguished positions" who have
had any thing to do with this call, we should
like to see their names in print Then zoe can
tell ,cho is aoho. WHO are they? Let them
come out with call over their own proper
names, and let the people Of the State know
who they are. Let the people Judge for them
selves on this subject, and not take the say 80
Of the editors of the Chronicle d Sentinel, that
they hold prominent and distinguished positions
This statement we consider is calculated to
make false impressions at distance. 1t cannot
here, where the facts are known.
We look upon it as doing injustice to the
Democrats of this county. We know of no
man of any prominence who is acting or will
ing to act with the Submission party of the
county in this movement The Wings of the
county are divided. But we believe the Demo.
Gratis are united almost to man against sub
mission and will act with the Southern Rights
Party, and vote for Southern Rights Delegates
