Who are the FederaIjStS 2

It is those who deny the right of State to Withdraw
from the Union The States Rights party IN Missis-
sppi contend that State may withdraw from the I'M
ion, and that power resides III the general Govern
ment to force or coerce it back again The Union or
more properly the old Fct party deny the right, and
insist that the poveent is legally bound to exercise
coerceive authority and force the seeding State back
AGAIN. To prove that the present Union is only
vya of the old federal doctrine under teachers we
give one resolution from the Union platform, showing
its proclivity to coercion.
g. That the friends of the Union are the friends of
peacethe friends of the safety prosperity and happ
ness of the people of Miss. and resolved with
the assistance of Almighty God to preserve that Union
because we believe that therein shall preserve to
ourselves the inestimable blessings of Civil and Re-
ligious liberty bequeathed to by fore-fahers
and as Americans duly appreciating the advantages
of the Union, we hold ourselves ready at all times to
respond to the call of our common country and peril
our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor in its de-
fence. ,

Bansian, published at Carrollton, Pickens county:
FAM1NE-The long continued drought, unparal-
eled in this section, has put beyond all controyer-
sy, the fact that absolute suffering if not absolute

their daily bread, is the little crop they planted in
the spring, and which day by day they have seen
blasted and whitening beneath the scorching rain
less sky. Many ofthese viii not make corn enough
for seed, nor cotton enough to buy their bread
until Christmas famine stairs them IN the face,
and abiect destruction threatens their wives and
children.
To remedy this suffering which will most surely
exist, something must be done, and we know that
something will be done. We have already heard
several suggestions some propose voluntary con-
tributon, or special tax others Relief Assocl-
ation The prime object of all should be, ana
doubtless will be, to procure supply of corn on
such terms and under such restrictions as VIII Tor
bid speculation, and will relieve the greatest de-
gree of suffering at the least cost.
To secure this object, we propose thata meet
no of all persons interested in this subject, be held
in this place on the 3rd Saturday in August. we
suggest this day in order to give ample time
for all persons to be apprised ofthe meeting ano
request all ministers of the gospel to give this no
tice publicity from the pulpit, and urge their peo
pie to participate in the meeting
