The "LEoNIDAs'' LETTER. Efforts have been

the letter containing that remarkable and classic
preston "Gen. Dockery is of frmness of

"Leonidas'' who should turn up, but the redoubt-

have received many gratifying assurances from va
rous parts of tie State, of the of the Demo
/ cratic State Rights ticket. - = ~

his canvass commences. Brown has just completed
a triumphant tour, and those who have heard him
say that he is fairly outdoing himself. HE Will be
returned to Congress by larger majotlty than ever
before. Jefferson Davis will soon commence filling
his appointments in the Northern counues, ana the
people will turn out by thousands to near MIN. they
will greet him with banners and music, and better
than all, with hearts beating win grauIude for his
| services in their cause.
| From the numerous letters on our table, we can
make room for the following extracts only.
Our old friend A. J. McC. OF Shongalo sends US a
| list of SO subscribers, and says:
- The prospects of our party in this section are
good and frightening. We will roll back the msts
of combined Whiggery, Freesoilism and Fede ra-
lism."
A leading Democrat of North Mississippi writes
I" The cause of Southern Rights is not losing any,
thing in this county by discussion, but on the in
crease if we are wofully deceived by the signs of
the times. We are looking for old Chaputepec with
a good degree of anxiety in Lafayette; and do
dread the visit of the little slippery politician with
him.
: The question is settled 1 think now in the minds
of the people, but party drill will give Foote thou
sands of votes which he could possibly get under
other circumstances AS he passed through this
town he enquired for the whig office-went there
sent for clever whig lawyer who is host with
wings, and went his way rejocing-telling some
marvellous tales about Thompson-how badly
he was to be beaten, &c., &c. Now, you need not
believe word he says. His wish was father to the
thought" There's no danger off, Jake"-why does
this Democratic U. S. Senator go the wings for
counsel? Why does he want his Democratic col
leagues beaten Why does he assail Democrats all
over the State He got it while he up here
Does he say anything about Barton and the Well
diggerl We and hear the gallant hero
Of Beuna Vista, jeff Davis-send him up this way.
We people of Lafayette will give him cordial
greeting.''
Several friends in Scott ordering the paper, append
to their letter the following:
1.-THE cause is advancing in this county. The
State Rights party feel their strength renewed day
by day. and are encouraged to persevere in cause
which is founded in truth and justice. Our associa-
ton meets the 3rd Saturday in each month"; &c.

Mr.. Stany said at Goldsboro', and doubtless also
in other places throughout the District, that, if he
was in Georgia, he would sustain and vote for Mr..
Cobb for Governor. 1t turns out that Mr.. Cobb in
Georgia occupies pretty much the same position that
Col. Ruffn does in the 9th Congressional District,
and believes in the -ighl Of State to secede from the
Union. We find in the Columbus Enquirer the fol-
lowing statement of his position:
"According to the views pretended views of
opponents there is but thing that is worth
talking about and that is the abstract, naked right of
secession. This right Mr.. Cobb admitted, and in
express terms avOwed that when State in its SOW
ereign capacity and by its regular constituted and con-
stitutona agents took its course the Federal GoOern-
anent had legal constitutional authority TO control
such State by force. Is this federal doctrine! He
was opposed, however, to disunion, secession and
agitation and commended that the Union could only
be maintained by compromise, Cancellation, and mu-
tual Affection"
Mr.. Stany is thus placed in the position of avow-
ing his willingness to support one who believes in
the right of secession that is, s. Secessonist and
Dsunionist." Thus is another of Mr.. Stanly's prin-
cipal props knocked away from his platform
