In the other Districts, the issues as to Southern
Rights have not been made as distinctly as in
South Alabama. The people have generally ad

In the sixth, or Huntsville District no issue was
made as to the Compromise Measures, or the ques
ton of State action. Both the candidates were
Onion men, both Democrats, and both in favor
of abiding by the Compromise.
In conclusion we may remark that the words
"Union men" and "Union party have very
different Specification in the interior from whatthey
have here in Mobile. With us they indicate the
friends and justifers of the Compromise Meas

the opponents of those Measures. Had this class

the issue turned solely upon that point, we hav
no doubt every District in the State would hay
shown itself as strongly in favor of Southern Right

TO THE BALLOT-BOX,

This will be the last issue that will reach our coun-
try readers before they will be called upon to cast their
votes for delegate to the Convention Let no man
he regards the future peace and pepetuty of the Un-
ion remain away from the polls Duty to that Con-
stitution which all desire to preserve-Duty to
that Union you would closely unite-Duty to the
Sate-Duty to the South and her glorious institutions
Duty to the Republican principles of your Revol1-
tonary sires to yourselves and your poserty nyokes
you to the discharge of your whole duty. Remember
fellow-citzens that treason is steathy in its ap-
proach. Its steps cautious and prudently made.
1t conceals itself behind masked batteries and su-
gars its arguments. 1t appeals to the popular caprice
to abandon right after another and thus are men,
well as States, rendered defenceess This cry of
Union, Glorious Union-what is it What is the
Union worth if our rights denied to us in it Ifit
is converted into engine of oppression ought it to
be preserved There is a Union party in Ireland
There is Union party in Poland There is Union
party in Hungary Ireland is the slave of England
Poland the vassa of Russia, and Hungary is bleeding
at every pore from the ruthless thrusts inflicted by her
iron-hearted MASTER Austria. Felow-citzens, there
is Union party in Cuba A party that would contin-
ue the connection between the queen of the Antilles
as Cuba is called, and old Spain. Beware of these
sestyled Union parties The liberties of the people
are in danger when party springs up with openly
avowed object but that of defending the legislative ag
greSstons on the constitutional rights of the People

to compete with slave labor, you would be compelled
to COMPETE WITH FREE NEGRO LABOR, and
who does not know that free Negro labor could be pro-
curded-ah commanded for the means necessary to
barely sustain fe Free negro labor could be had for
Two Three -Four dollars per month, and we ask the
poor man if he desires to come in competition with
this sort of labor. Emancpate the slaves and this is
the of things that must exist But what will be-
come of the mechanical class Their condition in all
branches will be than the day aborer, for this
reason. The negro will drive all opposition away by
cheapenng labor, and the trades union and mechan-
cal associations must fail for the lack of that honor and
community of interest which belong to and uphold and
sustain them now. AS mechanic then we oppose all
schemes tending to emancipation, and this pro-
ect which acquiesces in refusal by the general gov
ernment to recognize and protect slave property in the
territories and which admits the right of Congress to
abolish slavery in the federal districts just such pro-
iect as Southern men will endeavor to repudate in
very short time. Like the Missouri compromise it is
gift from the South and promise from the North
the former to be used against the South and the latter
will be forgotten the slavery be disturbed
in any other way.
v We have said that the whole scheme of adjustment
tends strengthen the federal government against the
institution of slavery 1t fixes the action of govern
ment slavery by denying that it is responsible to
as to any other property In short it claims the right
to egisate abolish but not to protect it. 1t has said
that it will not protect it, and this properly construed
means this 1t shall perish for the lack Of protection
has said it shall not extend its present limits, and this
properly construed, this, You shall enlancipat
your Negroes Is this untrue? No. Slavery is doom
led unless the South resist the encroachments of the
: North.
The Northern statesmen under the doctrine of non
intervention explained by Cass have given govern
ments to New Mexico and Utah, and this is proof con
that they intended to produce the very necess
e ty of which speak, to wit to force the Southern
planter to emancpate his slaves. If the South acqui
in this doctrine the North has gained subsan
tia victory slavery 1t has succeeded in raising
party in the South under the preence of preserv
ing the Union and the adjustment but the real objec
of this Union party to wheedle the South into acqu
y esceing The dissolution of the Unoni the bugbea
with which the timd frightened, and the associa
/ tions and love of the Past appealed to win
destruction those who take the word of others as tn
rule of action. Fellowctzens, beware of those VIII
o sing the song of Union, Glorious Union. This Unio
l. is in peril, great, imminent peril but from thos
l. who demand constitutional rights, but from thos
who desire you to yield obedience to wrong, inustc
and outrage. No people lost their liberty with
out having those in their midst who advised and cour
Y selled submission to wrong and Injustice.

To tie Proprietors Of Southern Standard:
Gentlemen number of your last paper has
just been handed me which contains the following,
under its editorial accounts of discussion between
the Convention Candidates, in Columbus, on the
18th, inst.
''He (Mr. Harris, turned Mr.. Cobb's jokes
and arguments both against him, and then chal-
Ienged Mr.. Coob, or any of his associates, to dis
cuss the question of protection to slave property
the Territories of New Mexico, and Utah. No
one accepted tie challenge, and this may be regard
ed as acknowledgement by the Submission party
in this county that no protection by law exists in
these territories for slave property
beg to say that listened attentively to the re-
marks of Mr.. Harris, on the occasion referred to,
and if any such challenge was peremptorily given,
especially with view to elicit an answer at that
time, did not hear it. Indeed, it would have ap-
peared somewhat strange, if, (after had, during
the previous week, met Mr.. Harris, and discussed
hss very question with him no less than seuen times
that gentleman, at the very close of our canvass
and when he had the closing reply, should have
thrown out such a challenge you represent in
the Standard of the 10th. 1t is not in charac-
ter with Mr.. Harris to make such challenge under
such circumstances, nor is it my disposition to re-
fuse challenge for debate from opponent of his
standing and ability. | conclude then, that you
account In this one respect, may not have been so
guarded as to be far from unintentional msrep-
resentation of myself; but if such wos your un-
derstanding, and if that challenge is endorsed by
either of my talented and accomplished opponents
inform you, sirs, that the same will be accepted
by me. shall be prepared to defend the Union
party on this question, whenever the e'friends Of
protection (as you say) shall notify me that
their advocate" is ready to make good the chal-
Ienge by laying down his argument.
At the same time, l wish it to be distinctly I'm.
derstood that while accepting the challenge as be-
ing apparently thrown out by authority have nc
intention to be considered as thus attempting to
connecte either OF the honorable gentlemen who op-
pose the Union ticket with such challenge. Nv
only object is to guard myself and my cause from
any wrong and improper inference liable to be
drawn from your article, and to show that do moi
so distrust my known position as regards the Com
promise bills as to shrink, at this late period o.
the canvass, from discussion of their merits,
Very Respectfully,
JOSEPH B. COBB.

Col. Jos. B. Cobb, and the Standard.


B. Cobb one the submission candidates for the con-
vention 1t will be perceived that he intimates that
we may have done him injustice in the matter to
which our attention has been directed by him. We
have only to say that unconscious of it, and it
will be at once admitted by those who read the note
below from w L. Harris Esq, that our notice of the
language used the occasion fully authorized US to
throw forward the declaration that challenge for dis
cussion was rendered. and not accepted Hes stat
ed distinctly that he "woud divide time'' with any
gentleman, and discuss the point in debate. Was it
accepted Mr.. Cobb may not have been in the house
at the time the language used to which we refer.
gentleman stated that Mr. Cobb not in the house
period during the speech OF Mr. Harris, and 1t
may be possible that the language referred to by us
NAV have been uttered while Mr. Cobb was absent.
We can Col Cobb that it is not our intention
to misrepresent any gentleman-we have never in
dulged in that of warfare-we have left that to
our opponents five betrayed into giving express
ion either to opinions language calculated to do in
justice wrong any one it has been our proverbia
practice at once fully and distinctly therefor
This practice shall abandon. We will fur.
ther remark that no personal unknd feeling has ever
marked our course toward Col. Cobb-on the contra.
ry have ever entertained for him the kndiest feel
ings and while have reviewed his political writ
ings, and spoke ofha political positions with freedom
and in poor way, pointed jest at his expense we
have separated the from the politician, and aimee
. at the candidate through the reviewer.
We say to Col. Cobb now, we stated to his friend
after examining his communication that if he still in
cnes to the opinion that have misrepresented him
he appeal with entire confidence to to do hin
ample Justice whenever he shall satisfy that hav
erred With these remarks, we submit the whole is
sue to an intelligent community.
