Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1851-08-02


unable to say whether Mr. Jordan will accept-in
all probability he will. AS the vacancy made
by the withdrawal of Capt w. w. Vaughan is
filed shall place the ticket at the head of our col
umns with appropriate comments.
0-We see by the papers that Col. R. Davis of
Monroe is in the field. He has out list of appoint
ments through Itawamba, Tishamingo, extending ov-
some half dozen more places He is an able and
jealous man. and will exercise powerful influence in
those counties He has hosts of friends and acquan-
in that REGION this, together with the power
his argument will revoutionize public opinion.
OFWe understand that one of the submission can
didates in Noxubee county, G. H. Foote Esqr., has
deemed it essential to his success suppose to ape
the habits of his iusrious name-sake, the hon. H. S.
Foote. And that in obedience to the native propen-
sty of the man. he snarls and barks the Standard
and its editor. We understand that he has intimated
determination to notice that "drty Sheet" the Stan
dard and its editor, in appropriate place We are
pleased to hear it; and will only remark that we
shall be on hand-certain.
GIVE assure our friends at home and abroad,
that the work goes bravey. From every corner of
old Lowndes we are receiving the most cheering news
daily and the of State Rights is rapidly spread
ing in our own midst. Lowndes is safe for Southern
Rights by large majority-note it.
We say to our friends be actve-work-spread the
facts and let man be begniled into the belief that
the issue is "Union or Disunon.' The issue is -
Tame submission injustice and outrage Or Consti-
tutional resistance within the Union That is the is
sue before the people.
0rThe Noxubee Beacon, in answer to our enquiry
whether State had the right withdraw or secede
from the Union, responds thus
eve do not believe that.a State constitutional
~ secede."
Of course the editor of the Beacon is not only a
sharp wag but wit into the bargain. We have new
contended that the right to secede was constitu-
tion0l right We hold the right as reserved, and the
very fact of the nonexstence of delegated power to
State back into the Union, is proof conclu-
sive that it is not unconstitutional to secede or with
draw from the Union flour query negatived in di-
rect terms shall know where to place our friend of
the Beacon and we viii endeavor to show the differ
ence between peaceable secession and passive ODE
dience to usurpation on reserved rights.

0SFThe joint appointments between Gems. Quit
man and Foote, have been broken up. The causes
leading to the disruption explained by Gen. Quit
man in cardwe publish to-day. Of the causes we
have nothing to say-they being personal-but we do
regret the disruption, because it hoped that the
canvass would have been narrowed down the simple
and legitimate issues before the people, by the cand
dates travelling together The separation leaves the
door open to those it is to misrepreset
and deceive, and even now they busy spreading
tales wholly devoid of truth. We say to the people,
beware of these men-they attempt to deceive you in
order to get your votesthey suppress the truth and
make false and immaterial issues
No usx,
nents for Gen. Quitman and we hope Che people will
turn out enmass and hear him. If he bellies the re-
coro or the low trckery of the demagogue to
deceive or mlsead you don't roe him. If his cause
the cause OF error if he advocates the aggressons
OF the North, and defends the reesol abolition action
OF the late Congress, he is unworthy your support
Come out and hear him, and then decide That is the
Wa5 10 be Intormed--judge for yourselves
