Beware Of the GuII-Catchcr.

A pupsr is being hawked about the streets
and through the county, for signers, calling
meeting TO be held in this place on the 4th Of
November next. The object Of the meeting
does not appear from the call, and set of
carefully drawn aud meaningless resolutions,
are taken along as a sort of n handmade, to be
exhibited for the purpose Of allaying the fears
of those who are unwilling to sign the paper
"bliudfold" We learn from the BUSTING GEN
teman who acts as ''maid of all work" in this
matter, & whose high privilege it is to cary the
paper around, that the resolutions are designed
to lay down broad platform upon which all
may stand and unto. Hence they simply de-
clare our grievances, and neither advise sub
mission or secession.
The real object of the meeting is thus con-
cealed. We are credtably informed, its main
object is to pass submission resolutions, and
others condemnatory of tho course of our gift
ed and vigilant Governor, in calling together
the Legislature. Many who believe the act
ors in this affair, are incapable Of playing such
a trick, are deceived, and under mistaken
view Of the true intent of the meeting, give il
their countenance and the influence Of their
names. To them it seems a very laudable object
to effects Union ofall parties, to declare anC
define fully our grievances, that the grea,
body ofthe people may be enlightened upon the
subject and then leave it to the extremes O
both parties, to keep up further agitation; tn,
one to advocate secession and the othG to urg,
submission.
The design we presume in getting long lis
of names is to publish them to the world, ii
connection with the proceedings Of the meet
ing, and thereby create false impression
abroad As the call and resolutions now stand
anybody, the fercest disunionists in the land
may sign them, without in the least cemprc
: missing his principles. He could only regre
that they were not sufficiently decided. Ho,
far the unsuspecting have been and may yet
Practced upon by this intended fraud, we can
not say or predict. We discharge our duty,

10 On the 2Ist of December ls4s, Mr.

preamble aud resolution 10 Congress, which
passed by vote Of % to 81:
Whereas, the traffic now prosecuted in

Of republican liberty among the nations OF

Resolved, That the committee Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia be instructed to report a
bill, as soon as practicable, prohibiting the
slave trade in said District"
1t created such an excitement among al
the Southern members, that the vote was
afterwards reconsidered. When the vote
was made in favor ofthe resolution and pre-
amble, The Picayune said:
This is such direct meddling with the
rights ofpropertY of the citizens Of the dis

with the rights of the States, that the South
must necessarily make issue on it. The
aggressive spirit Of Northern abolitionisn

CoNTEMPTIBLE sERvILITY.

The principles of the submission party,
as evinced by their acts and confessions, are
truly seryile and contemplate. They open
ly acknowledge that their rights are tramp>
led upon, their characters traduced, and their
equality denied by the abolition fanatics OF
the North, and consequently themselves in.
suited and disgraced.
They, instead of seeking such redress as
will efectually wipe out such disgrace, frisk
around, and drum up meetings, and pass vo.
citerous resolutions Of defiance against their
aggressOrs, and then with whining and sniv
cling serviity yield 20 their we'll merited infa
NOUS degradation.
Men who would thus publicly submit to
acknowledged insult and injury, would re-.
fuse to unite with the patriotic southern par
ty in defence of their own and their coun-
try's rights, for fear of being whipped into
submission by an arrogant majority, have
at least regard paramount to all other con-
siderations, for their dastardly carcasss.
Such men would desert the innocent and
defenceless in the hour Of peril-and they
are really more dangerous to the prosperity
and safety OF the South than their northern
cOadjutOrs.
We are fully aware however that there
are many hoHorable and patriotic mer
among that party, but they are evidently de-
ceived and decOyed into their ranks by the
false representations of treacherOus pOlitici
ans aud the low trickery Of petty partisans
who ere actuated either by cowardly fear o.
rabid party prejudices. And so long a
such cringing wretches are allowed to influ
ence the minds of Southern people, so lonI
will they be unable to protect their right
and privileges or to secure their pOsterit
from an impending calamity.
The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1850-10-24

we now say in conclusion Of these arti- |
cIes, that If the South submit to the uncon. |
stitutlonal wrongs which have been perpe- |
trated against them, to being deprived of
all our territories, to being ia a n5iHoritu,
and to holding their slave properly, hereaf-
ter by tenure Of Northern will, they
show an abiect scrvility, a patience under
oppression and a want Of the natural in
suncts os self preservation, which has new
or, at any time in she history Of the world
been shown by any people who were as
strong and powerful as VIC are.
If the South submit now. we must change
our opinions as to the social, political and
moral Influences Of slavery. = Wei have
fondly hoped that the institution of slavery
tile having an inferior caste to perform
the meEial and degrading Offices OF lile'
would give 10 the master race an elevation
Of character, and proud independence a
fearless front aud military strength, which
would for ever preclude the idea that they
could submit TO a secondary and lnterTo;
position.
