Iron THE wooDvILLE REPUBLICAN.

M. Editor II appears 10 NE that there
IS great misapprehension existing as to the
position held by Governor Quitman, in rela-
ton to secession, in his message to the call
ed session of our Legislature. 1t has been
said that he advocates in that message I'M
meaiate separate State secession. Those
who assert this only give another evidence
to the fact that the opinions Of a polit-
ical Antagonist are apt to be Judged hastily,
ezlfavagantly, and. to his prejudice. 1t Is
to be presumed, from the position and fame
Of Cen Quitman that he possesses, at least,
the oydtaaJy prudence and foresight grant
ed TO mankind out the immediate separate
secession Of the State Of Mississippi pre-
scnts Itself to crery one as being in a higher
degree imptudent-therefore those who,
without due examination, and for the pur-
pose Of injuring him, attribute this opinion
to Gen. Quitman, do the correctness of tIeir
hearts and minds, great injury, in our opin.
ion, rightly, of every thinking man. Fol
had their soIicitudc for the truth led them
to examine they would have found thai
Gov. Quitman not only does not express
himself in favor of the immediate scperatC
secession of the State Of Mississippi, but he
does not ever advocate the iDla2cliute aHa
unanimous secession Of all the "agrjerca
StatcS."
Gen. Quitman gives his individual opin
ion on the subject OF secession, as he says
" freely, frankly, and without reserve" H(
says: DUFoREr.

in violation of the constitution of the Uni,

citizens from aiding aud assisting in taking

repealed, but still stands in full force in that
State. See The proof as follows:

propriety or fairness can any one who re-
CARDS truth ais sacred, say OF even imagine
from what is expressly declared in the above
sections, hat the convention can do anything
except that which is therein plainly ex.

to assert from the last section of the act

this convention can or will have any bind
