"LET THE People DE HEARD.-Many Of the
citizens of Caha@haS Ala, have signed a petit
lion TO the Governor Of that State, to call the
Legislature together, in view of the late ag-
g~ressIons upon Southern rights"
The above, paragraph is going the
rounds of the disunion press. The Pc
tition is similar to the one which was
circulated here some weeks since, and
which received a signature now and
then, about in spots. Cahawba is a lit
tie town on the Alabama river, about
half as large as Canton! OF course

One Of our democratic contemporaries,
in its loUe and zeal for the Irish, falls into
quite an error, when it asserts that upon
their arrival on our shores "they soon
become our largest land proprietors."
1t is a notorious fact, that the Irish are
not an agricultural people, and seldom
own or cultivate land. On the contrary,
they hang to the cities and towns, work
ing as day l%aborers; and those who have
a little capital, almost invariably invest
il in shop'keeping, &c. A pig sly, and
a little patch for "praties,' is about all
IN Irishman wants in the matter of land.
They are, however, generally honest,
industrious and thrifty Their pecu
liar social disposition, alone, renders
"the country" an unfit field for their
labors. The Germans are the only
foreigners who seek our shores, that fol-
low agricultural pursuits, as a general
thing. We say this to vindicate the
truth Of history" alone, and not TO dis.
parage the warm-hearted sons Of the
Emerald Ise. We would scorn to fawn
around and Aatter any class OF foreigners
for the sake Of political capital.

Pect hewill be able to give an account
Of himself, Ii has been minated that
on his arrival in Mississippi, he is to be
tetotally used up, failed, logged, and
famed out, by Quitman, Guion, Temp.
klns, and others OF the Secession stripe.
Well, they are fully able to do it-we
don't think! He whose cause is just,
is doubly armed" and Gen'l Foote will
return 10 his constituents with such a
consciousness Of having done his duty,
and with such, a PanoPly Of TRUTH and
RIGHT about him, that he will be irwin
chile in the arena Of debate, even though
there were a whole army in the field,
sled on by shallow Richmond"
We have heard ii suggested that the
Union men Of Madison county should
tender Gen'l Foote a Barbecue, at such
time as might suit his convenience, so
that every body could partake of the
" feast Of reason" that lie would serve
up to them, as we'll as q feast Of baked
meats, which is equally potent in bring
ing together the sovereign people. We
second the motion, heartily-and will
contribute the editors mite in getting
up the viands Who says " me too" ?
We have no doubt the thing can be done.

10 The Tieksburg Whig-By Morss's Lane:
NATCHEz, Oct. 4, 1850.
The Disunion meeting to-day was a perfect
failure. There were only two hundred persons
present, all told-three-fouIhs Of them Union
men. Quitman made a long and undressing
speech, during which the meeting thinned out
to seventv-6ve persons. Huston followed.
The other distinguished orators" were alb
sent--there was no enthusiasm whatever. No
resolutions were passed, Governor Quitman
dwelt upon the sacrifices political, Of %course,)
he was making in defending the South, as we'll
as nponthe services he rendered the country
in Mexico. His speech was full Of violent
defamation and references TO himself The
character Of HusIonss efforts you know. Ole
Adams county is no place for disunion.

ton ia more reliable, when it concerns Northern
than Southern members
The citations we have made are but examples
OF general effort now making through the North
ern press to bring the Northern Wing party to the
support of Gen. Taylors policy, as the mode OF
defeating the Union bill of the Senate. We fear
that the language heretofore held by the Republic
has had an unhappy influence, in seconding this
baneful attempt to prevent the restoration of har-
mony by an abuse of the Presidents recommen-
datons. But Southern representatives, of both
parties, have the power to avert the passage of the
California bill and we hope they will have the
irmness to use all constitutional means for that
purpose, so long as the Territory question is kept
back for agitation. If the Presidents platform
or mothing' shall really become the rallying cry
of the North, let the South determine to choose
"mothi14g no Caifornia-no appropriation bills
no army and no navy.
