been. so perseyerIng made to thrust an on
/ probrious epithet as upon that of the State
RIGHTS. In the Ranae of all that is reasona-
bic how often yet shall we have to repuai-
I ate the charge of oar party being Disunion-
j lists? When will tla Misguided or willful-

that our aim and Efforts have been, and VIII
continue to be directed IN course which
has for It's object tie perpetuation of the
Union? Over and over again have we
made this statemeats and eontradieted the
foul slander -heaE eron Us, and yet the
cry of suniae u 10 10 the
ears of the Republic, to our injury, without
truth or foundation. The quacks of the
past, as well as of the present day, can
youch for the fact, that however great the
humbug, only keep it well before the pub
lic-stick it regularly before their eyes
advertise it-assert its truth-be blind to
and shout out all reasoning, and the guilt
bility of our people viii e9entually be
reached, and twisted to some useful pur-
pose. The PARIS pill quackery: Jacob
Townsend's Sarsaparilla, the famous South
Sea bubble, and host of other such fan
fslronading might be quoted in Illustration
of the principle. And thus it is with the
Submissionists; every one who agrees not
with their platform, must be a Disunionist-
they proclaim it-they assert it and reason
with as much gravity as If they believed
what they wrote. Doubtless they consider,
that as
! "a words enough to raise mankind to kill
so words enough to spread distraction a.
noRgst our ranks, and ruin the brightest
prospects of hitherto an all-powerful party
! Up to the present period we have remained
united through all circumstances and victo-
rY has been our reward Hitherto our
phalanx has remained unbroken through
many hard contest with our opponents,
and we trust there are few amongst US now
who will be alarmed and severed from their
allegianosNby false cry from the enemy.
The Submissionists know full well that if
once doubt can be raised, another doubt
will follow, easier still the next, till they
have worn themselves into beaten tract,
and trust viii no more dwell with US. They
know that their only chance of victory is by
a division of our ranks, and they therefore
clothe their deceptive tricks in the garb oi
the Union They dare not fight us in
the open sunlight of honor and justice, but
| they resort to subtilty and falsehood as a
means to their selfish ends.
We again feel called upon 70 thrust back
uposl the ss-satlao.s ho say we are Disunion-
lists, the falsehood they have generated
We utterly and solemnly deny their asser-
tons, and at once raise our cry for the UN-
/ ION OF THE STATES AND THE
+ SOUTHERN RIGHTS.
J 1t was with regret we observed the \. o.
/ True Delta to have fallen into the error
Ipropagated by our dishonest opponents
/ But it was with stll more regret that we
observed the editor of that paper bitter in
his expressions and observance Of no very
great regard for truth or justice. No boast
is here vauntingly made that the people are
/ in favor of a Southern confederacy, or that
they are ri pc for secession. What we want
/ is justice, and if our claims be well founded
we shall gain justice, but if they are not,
why then let the proof to the contrary be
shown. In Mississippi no "ottempt has
been made by syeophants, to hutter round
Gen. Quitman to raise platform to be bap-
tized with his name.'' But a people whose
hearts are with the General, first by their
sympathy towards him, showed their hatred
of his wrong Ioers and prosecutors, and
next they placed him at thehead of a pow
erful State Rights party, because they
could repose trust In his plain dealing and
honor, and because he had never deceived
and cheated them. If the Generals sup
porters were as the true Delta says, ''syco-
plants, y why the term applies to a great
majority of the people of the State, whose
common sense can lead them to smile at the
ignorance ofthe sage who penned the article.
/ Argument can supply no reason why the
term 'disunion" should be applied to US
Are the chartists of England because they
seek for the ''fve points to be denounced
as traitors seeking to break up the unity ol
the Island; or were the anti-corn law men
'.disunionists" when they sought to gain
the repeal Of an unjust law?
Good God has it arrived at point in
the history of this Republic that men can
not differ in opinion: that men cannot seek
to gain that which they feel they are enti-
tied to, without running headlong to con
clusion before rational and peaceable dis
eussion have taken place. And yet this i
the kind of reasoning that the submission
lists indulge in against us. They seem tc
