Trick Exposed.
eSced.

The submission or Union party leaders everywhere
are STOPPING to most contemplate trick to mlslead q
deceive the People They assert that the Southern
Rights Union party refused to submit the issues pend
ing to the People, and prove this they assert that the
Southern Rights party in the Legislature when the
Convention bill was pending before that body, voted
down proposition submitting the issues to the Peo-
ple Not satisfied with this, they connect with it an
assertion utterly devoid of truth They assert that
the State Rights Union party is Disunion party and
they declare that the whole object fthat party is to
mislead the People and force Mississippi out of the
Union. Nothing can be more contemplate, and We
are surprised that sensible will attempt to mis-
lead the People when, if they reflect but moment,
would be satisfied that they were digging pit into
which the People are sure to hurl them. The People
being informed of the true ISSUE and those leaders
and candidates who lie in order to obtain votes will find
that "honesty is the best policy But is this States
Rights Union Disunion Party? That is question
we shall settle definitely here.
We say it is not Disunion party and here is the
way we prove it. The People are not for Disunion-
the Submission men, leaders and candidates say that
they are not, and now we ask, how can the States
Rights party be Disunion party when the action of
that party to be submitted to the People for their
approval or dsapproval. 1t is the Submission party
that fears the PeopR-fit is not, why does it make is
sues that are fase-why attempt to deceive and mis-
lead the People The party leaders of the Submiss
ion in Mississippi satisfied that unless
they lie the States Rights party do,on that they can
succeed They have set out then to raise many
false Issues possible mslead the People if they
can and thus betray the State the hands of that
party defending the aggressons of the Northern Abo
litionists the rights and institutions ofthe South
A pamphlet has made its appearance in this county
far enough to be able to show that is misuamed and
say that it does not present the True Issue. If we
catch the authors object it to show that the true is
is Union Disunion and he has presented just SO
much of the history of the ssue as will convey that
impression Now if the author of this sTrue Issue'
desired to present the issue truly why did he suppress
two important facts Why did he fail to give the
18th Resolution of the June Conventon--heha has COM
mented on the action of that Convention but sup
pressed the fact that that Convention solemnly de-
clared itself opposed to the exercise of the Right OF
! Secession Secession then is not the ISSUE not
withstandng the evident impression that the author
of this True issue pamphlet has attempted to convey
But prove still further that secession or disunion
the concealed object of the States Rights party the au-
the impression it appears to us, that the States
Rights party will smugge Mississippi ont of the Union
# 1T If this impression is not intended to be con-
veyed, why very material clause ofthat bill sup
pressed! Read the condensed view of that bill as pre-
sented by the author of the "True Issue"
"And who by their votes for the Convention Bill af
ter stating that Congress its last session was con-
troled by dominent majority, regardless of the con-
stltutona rights of the South, assert that whereas
is proper that sovereign State should promptly re-
sort to the most efficient for the maintenance
of its constitutional rights &c. have declared among
other things that the convention when it meets shall
proceed to consider the then existing relations between
the Government of the United States, and the Gov
eminent of the State of Mississippi to devse and car
ry into effect the of redress for the past AMI
obtain security for the FUTURE and to adopt such measure
tor indicating the sovereignty Of the State and the pro
lection of its institutions, shall appear to them tc
be demanded &C."
The action of the Convention is a subject of specu
laton, and it is impossible for any man to say what
will be with certainty. We do know however thai
if the States Rights party trumphs, that neither dis
union nor secession will follow its action. To place
the facts before the People, and show them that the
party defending the Rights of the South desire to
ceal nothing from them-that it neither garbles pub
he documents nor suppresses material facts we pre-
sent one clause of the Convention bill, and would re-
mark that the whole bill stands in the columns of the
Standard, and will be kept there until the election
Sec. T. And be 1t further enacted "That the acts OF
convention proposed to be held by this act before
they become binding this State, shall be submitted
to the people at the ballot box for their approval OF
dlsapproval at such time and in such manner as the
convention may determine
Has Col Billups, Capt Barksdale, Messrs. Crusoe
Jack Seals mentioned the fact contained in the
above causehave they ever told the people that the
action OF the Convention be presented to then
; for their APPROVAL or DISAPPROVAL at the
IBALLOTBOX! We have never heard them. no,
have we seen man who has heard them, and whv il
1t SO They never fail to attempt to prove that the
States Rights party ought not to be trusted but they
fail to say that the States Rights party do not sup
press historical facts in order to make up false issue
What men of Lowndes, do you think of party tina,
forced to practice such adro tricks in order to Obtain
your votes Isit trustworthy party
We warn our friends in other counties against this
pamphlet entitled the "True Issue, not so much fo,
what 1t contains, for what adroity suppresses
