Death Struggles Of Federalism -AudaciOuS st.
tempt at Foreign Dictation in this C0untyl

The Federal Submissionists of this county have
grown desperate, with defeat staring item in the
face. They know that the people have repudiated
their doctrines with loathing and disgust-their
speakers beaten at all points, have been utterly
oyerthrown, refuted and routed--horse, foot
and dragons. Public sentiment bears them down.
They, therefore, make bold attempt just on the
eve of the election, to whip and force the people
of Lowndes into submission, by the most BARE
FACED FOREIGN DICTATION.
Not content with sending for the deserter Foote,
and Freeman, the reoreant yankee, to dragoon our
citizens, they have, as care credibly informed,
dispatched special runners--one to Huntsville for
that inglorious deserter from southern ranks Jere
Clemens, and another to Montgomery for the arch
federalist, parson Hiliard,
Now the present is simply county election, to
obtain the wiU Of Loacndes. The issues have al.
ready been made up, fully discussed by the can
didates and the opinions of the people maturey
formed. Is there reliance placed in the intelli
gence of our citizens? Are men to be imported
from other States to instruct them in their duties
1t is imperious dictation---t is daring interfer
ence with the freedom of the 5a7zot-Jor Have
observation-disclosures no speaking men in this place.
or do they distrust their ability? Are we so ig-
norant and illiterate at home, that men must be
brought by special messengers, from remote parts
of Alabama, to dictate to people, and tell them
how to vote ? Where is the sanctity of the cleo
tive franchise Are the free men of Lowndes so
tame and spiritless that they will submit to this
inyidious coercion from abroad? On what kind of
meat hath Alabama fed, that she should bestride
us like huge Colossus, and imperiously say to us,
Vote thou for Mis man or for that?
Fellow Ctizens-we are Mssissippions. Let
us cast the vote of free Mississippians. We want
no Alabama dictation; and, least of all, that which
comes Uoated aciA federal Submission and inglo-
rioas desertion
Voters of Lowndes, this. foreign dictation is a
sarcasm on your iateltigehce--on imputatioa- on
your honor-o fling at your Just pride-an intcr1ey

After dinner Mr.. VIM. J.. Harris assembled the
stand. From what we have been told by ludicous
friends who heard hinl-by gentlemen whose judg-
ment and veraeity both, we have the utmost con-
fdenc-we have been led honestly to doubt wheth-
er his speech, taken as a whole, was ever surpass-
ed in the United States. We are aware that this
is strong language, and has the appearance of an
exaggerated compliment. But, Judging from its
effect, the only safe way to estimate speech,sit
viii be found that we have not said one word more
lin its favor than in sober reason it will be found
to warrant
He first appealed to his wbis friends-showing
them plainly where he stood in 1872, and that
he occupied the very same ground to-day Ne
then took up the Compromise measures; the sub
! iect of our rights and wrongs-arrayed a mass of
incontroyertable facts proving, beyond any
doubt that the Constitution had been broken, and.
our rights not only disregarded, but tramped up
lonl
But the most effective part of this great speech
was, in telling his audience what measures he
would support tif elected to the Convention We
cannot, of course, attempt to follow him; but We
may be permitted to remark that he showed the
= impolicy of our submission Union friends going
there at such time as this, TO do nothing And
emphatically asked, after holding up IN the light
of truth, the many wrongs we have suffered, rs
THIS a time to do nothing 20 He then showed
that all the acts of that convention would go tor
pie.
In this connexon, as to what he would propose
: in Convention if elected as member of that bo-
, dy he was lead to speak of South Carolina. and
: her condition. He was not for goading her on to
o1desperation- was not for leaving her unfriend
! ed and unadyised He not for making her
feelthat in the wide world she stood frendless and
alonei He would take her by the hand and ad-
: wise her against the preparation of acts which
might be the result of despair. He spoke other
d revolutionary herocs-of her SACRIFICES and her
d suferinGs in the times which tTied the souls OF

We, as before remarked. cannot, and will not

Our State Legislature has passed
en- act calling Convention of the
people; aud ordered an election for
Delegatestob be held on the 2nd Mon
day in February next. The election
District Of Pendloton is entitled to
send eight delegates, of whom, we
suppose, four will be elected from
Anderson and four from Pickens Dis
trict. And as it is very important to
secure concert and harmony of ac-
ton among our people, and to con-
centrate upon four candidates who
will be acceptable to the country
centrally, as delegates to the said
convention from this part of the cleo
ticn Districi, we deem it necessary
that a general meeting of the people
ehould be called to select and nomi.
nate such candidates, and to that
end, the people of the District are
hereby invited 10 assemble at Pick
ensC. III. on the third Monday Of
TINS month, for the purpose of agree
ing on some suitable persons, who
shall run, in connection with the four
