Our t~elegnphic correspondent 10 new
Orleans. sent US. yesterday at half PM ) O.
clock. a Geographic despatch which reacn'
"a New Orleans from Boston early IN the
day. The news is most important ana
well calculated to startle and alarm the
whole country. The open resistance oil a
law founded on so plain a provision o: the
Constitution. as the Fugitive Slave bill Is
IS an event Pregnant with the most unhappy
omens. The State Of Vermont has, by a
legislative act, uullifed the law, while New
York is every day expected to do the same
thing. We are told that the President has
assured the country that he would sustain
and enforce the Compromise bill at all haz-
ards, yet he has not uttered a wore" or taken
one solitary step against the proceedings OF
those States. We think it is high time the
people of the South should arouse TO a Just
sense of their position, and make one firm
and united strike to snatch our Liberties and
constitution from the ruin into which the
North is casting them. Wing and demo-
crat should no longer be remembered but
as freemen, whose every interest is at stake
we should unite and demand justice at all
hazards.
While the North is engaged in multiplying
the Only act of the adjustment bill, that
is in anywise favorable to the South, we
grieve to find among ourselves those who
are ready to denounce the friends OF the
Constitution as d%isunionists and resisters,
while they say not one word against the
Northern people. BY every consideration
Of patriotism and every tie of brotherhood,
we appeal to the people of Wilkinson coun-
ty, to bury all membranes of former po'
litical distinctions, and discountenance any
movement that is calculated to encourage
the North in her unholy crusade against oul
rights, our honor, and our lives.
On this day, the anniversary of the birth o
the father of his countryside Immortal
WaShingtOn-there is announced to be hol
den a meeting-the supposed objects o
which are 10 debate the ate compromise
bills of Congress.-We yield to no man il
love and feaIty to the Union, but i'll our hear
and to God, we hope that the people ma!
not be led into measures which are too un
erringIy leading us to destruction. We ques
ton not the motives of any who hold thl
meeting-but we fear that party attach
ment is running riot with the better reason g
some of our southern friends.
We hope that every resolution or sentimen
that is uttered to-day, which has for its OF
ject the pursuasion of the people, that thei
rights and country are safe, may be vote
down; and the North be thus taught tina
the South is not only awake 10 its interests
but also to her suicidal ~course.--Far is
from us to create alarm. or in any mamie
interfere with a peaceable meeting OF thos
who stand opposed to us on the great que'
ton of the day but as a son OF MISSISSIPPI
who is proud of the State of his birth, an
who is still more proud of being an America
freeman, we deem IL to be our duty, 10 wal
the people in time, against entering into az
organization, that is calculated to lmbold(
the North in her aggressions upon us.
: the people of Wilkinson county heed US, "
clam no merit, but that of apprlsng the
e of such facts as concern them indeed; II o
i voice is disregarded, we are satisfied that v
have discharged our duty.
