Our Ticket.

Our Ticket.
The reader will see that the State Rights Union par
v in Iowndes has nominated its candidates for the
November convention. The meeting making the
was large and respectable, and believe
every portion of the county represented. Col ].
Gmer was called to the chair and explained the OBJ
iects of the meeting full report of the action of the
meeting will be found in another column of the Stan
dard.
We really deem it almost unnecessary to do more
than simply announce the names of the State Rights
Union candidates to insure for the action of the meet
ing universal assent and cordial appreciation. The
candidates are gentlemen well known and highly es-
teemed in this community by all classes; they are
identified in interest and feeling with our people, and
they stand as high in the confidence of their fellow
citizens as any gentlemen. Two ofthem have been
bonored with public trusts and the other gentleman
has on two occasions been singled out from host OF
able and Jealous men the champion and standard
bearer of large and enthusiastic party existing in our
State heretofore Col G. H. Young is well known
as gentleman of talent and character; w. L. Harris
has lived in this community for fifteen years to but
little purpose fhe has failed make for himself rep
utation for ability and probity that will command for
his opinions respect ]. NJ. Wynne, is well known as
clear hedGed ana SdgdtOuS gentleman, "
his public trusts possessing business qualifications of
high order beloved for his many noble qualities, and
perfectly sound upon the pending issues Of the day
With such ticket success is not Doubtful is sure
As to opposition to this ticket that is out of the ques
ton. The Union party was organized in this county
on an issue raised by contemplate set of dema-
gogues as ever infested any State-that issue, Union
or Disunon never had an existence that is, there
,I,JJ ,,,rt1ri ,,tI
the effort of Union missionaries to drive or force men
into dsunon positions announce disunion senti-
ments has most signally failed. Is w. L. Harris a
disunionist Let those who assert it remember he in
public speech said he had but reply to make to
all such slanderers, and that reply monosyabic
You lie Is Col Young disunionist, or is Jim Wynne
a dsunionist they are, we hope some friend to
the Union will prove them, & they will getthe
vote of Southern Rights 1t folly to talk about
such men being disunionsts and that charge will be
made against them only by base political hacks for
purpose base prompted the lying tongue tC
wag Why this division in our community then =
The Union party was formed to put down disunon,
thing having no existence, and if there is regularly
organized dsunon party here, it is very evident thai
a Union party is worthless our nelghbor OF the
Republican stated it the other day. In fact WI
are told that one of the Union leaders has said tina
Col Young gave expression to sentiments that he Gh
Union LEADER fully endorsed and that he was no bet
ter Union man than Col Young-not so good because
Col. Young was far the best taker. Ifths is So it i
difficult to conceive the existence ola necessity for
division among our people The policy of the Soutl
is surely of divisions into parties questions in
volvng the very existence of slavery and still less i
it a wise policy to raise up immaterial issues among
ourselves when there stands enemy slavery eve
ready to take advantage of divisions. The party
then proximatng the greatest good and at the leas
hazard, is surely the party most worthy of support
The Southern Rights party propose specific measures
neither hazardous unconstitutional and all pretend
even those who oppose that they much desire tn
consummation of our policy Why not act with Il
then Disunion cannot deter you, for we are not dis
unionists.
But there is no of talking-our ticket will b
elected. 1t has no books reviews, pamphlets, news
paper articles and any amount of Inconsistencies an
political somersets to explain and defend The fact
the race in this county matters stand, will
too tame and insped-amost uncomfortable, and wer
it not obligated otherwise, could suspend the Stan
dard until fall, and spend the months at Coor
er's wells, or Prewetts springs.
