For The Southern Standard


W. d. CHAPMAN, Esq. Dear Sir Doubtless
you have discovered very great desire on the
part of the Mississppian recently for speedy re-
organization of the Democratic party. That pa
per recommends that the Union as well as State
Rights Democrats should, under existing circum-
stances, once more assemble together in County
Meetings and appoint Delegates to a State Con-
vention to be held in Jackson on the 9th January
next, for the purpose of appointing State dele
cation to National Convention. Now sir. with
all due Difference to the Editors of that paper. I
humble individual, together with MANY 9th
ers, must beg leave to dissent. l have no wish
of playing the same game that the Hunkers and
Barnburners did on a certain occasion for it is
whispered about that those who may expect to
gain admttance into the Baltimore Convention
must come recommended by or at least get pass
port from Gen. Foote. l will Notwithstanding at
the same time admit that, for the great service
rendered the State Rights party during the late
exciting canvass through which we have Just
passed, that paper is at least entitled to be heard
Although as party have been defeated for
the present, yet those same wrongs of which we
SO much complained then are still staring us in
the face. | cannot, sir, from the lights before me-
see any reason for US to discontinue our connec-
ton with those " noble Wings who united with
the main body of the Democratic party in defence

SoNs OF TEMPERANCE HALL.
COLUMBUS, Dec. 10th 1851


According to appointment, Professor Craw-
ford met the audience assembled to hear his ad-
dress on Education. 1t was one of the most thrill
ling and interesting lectures on the subject, that
we have ever had the pleasure of listening to-
and should be heard by every intelligent per.
son. good citizen, and well wisher to the cause Of
Education-it especially claims the attention of
Teachers, Parents and Guardians of Children;
and we sincerely regret that owing 10 the exceed
ing severity of the weather. there were so few that
heard and were benefited by this powerful and
well directed effort of Professor Crawford.
So valuable and timely were his rcmarks, that it
was thought advisable they shouldbe repeated !;
accordingly, at meeting called Immediately af-
ter the address, Col. Baldwin, in the chair, and
W. S. Wiley, Secretary, the following resolutions
were adopted
RESOLVED, Isl. That Professor Crawford be re-
quested TO repeat the lecture, delivered by him in
the Temperance Hall. tonight, at such time as
may suit his convenience, so that all our citizens
can participate in ''feast of reason" which
has gratifed US much, and from which many
were prevented from attending, by the severity of
the weather.
| ResolUed, Cd, That committee of threebe ap-
pointed to wait on Professor Crawford, and ten
der him this request.
Resol0ed, 81, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the city papers.
| Rev. R. W. Broome, DIR. w. S. Wiley and
VIM. II. Vasser, were appointed committee TO
wait on Prof. Crawford, and on motion, the Rev.
P. p. Nicely, and W. E. Baldwin, were added
to that committee.

q Dear Union loving Democrats, great many
of whom discover are extremely anxious for the
reorganization to take place. For really, If may
be allowed the expression, | consider the material
composing the State Rights party now better than
lit formerly was What, | would ask could we
reasonably expect to gain by going into National
Convention For my part think 1t quite Tune
that this State as well as the whole South should
have learned wisdom. The North can make any
selection they please, in view of which would 1t
not be wise in US to stand off and let them man.
age to suit themselves, as they no doubt would do
even if we were represented and thus if possible
hold the balance of power. For my part have
no idea of committing myself If the nemina-
ton made is good one, there will be time enough
to give our hearty support, and if not, we can
then consult together and either vote for some one
else, or not, just as we may see proper In con-
cluson let me say | trust the State Rights Demo

and when he would intimate that we are inclined to
withhold his views from readers, he labors under
q very sad error. We simply remark that his COM
munication was withheld last week for the purpose of
accompanying it with some remarks of our own. But
being too unwel to do SOL were in hopes be in
condition to do so this week. We are now too up-
we'll to say what intended, and send it forth with
out remark. If the writer will call US he will ad-
nit his injustice.
