ofrsod to assist the tribes of the North IN their
.ohhorv Of the South, complained to the people,

done them,
s. Then would they raise their voice, ana cry
"a Union. GLORIOUS UNION! SAVE
THE UNION !!
6, And all the people heardiL, and SAID "nere-
fore is this noise of the country beng IN an up
roar
? And Davis, Quitman, Brown, Featherston,
McWillie and Thompson, chiefs OF the tribe OF
Miss;ssinni. answered and said This day have
vour brethren of the Northern tribes done you
GREAT wrong by robbing you of all the Mexican
Inheritance; will ye suffer this wickedness?

/. Now it came to pass, that when the tribe of
Mississippi had consulted among themselves, con-
cerning this matter, that that portion, called Fed
eral Wings, friends of King Fillmore, joined them
selves to Foote, and shouted God save the Union
and his princes, Hal and Daniel!
2. Then the other portion, called Democrats and
State Rights Wings answered and said: How can
you submit to this great wrong and join the ene-
mics of your own tribes?
3. But they only cried the louder: the
UNION, the GLORIOUS UNION
4. And Foote, and those who follow him, con-
tnue to walk in all the sins of the Federal fathers
who departed from the landmarks of the ancient
patriarchs and woe be to those who are caught
in the snare of the destroyer of republicanism.
5. Now the rest of the acts of Foote, and his
treason that he wrought, are they not written in
the Book of the Chronicles of the nation?

!, ductor of that sheet to which was subscriber,
that it would be open to free discussion the reec-

Yours,

July Cd, under the caption, ''to our Patrons in
which you use the following language, as indica-
tive of the principles that will govern you while
conducting political ''sheet' devoted to the in
terest of the Union party of this county.
e "And we had as well briefly say at once, tc
prevent all cav, that we have throughout our lives
been governed by the political teachings of Wash
ngton, Madison, Jefferson, and the illustriouS
;, Jackson. We have been taught to believe tha
u the Constitution and avs of the United States
are the supreme law of the land, = = any
thing in the Constitution and laws of any State
the contrary notwithstanding" See art 6, sec
2 CON- Having thus been taught and looking t.
the Constitution the great charter of our Iber
> ties, and that obedience to the laws was the par
of every good citizen, and that resistance theret,
i was rebelious and disorganizing; therefore, guild
ed by the teachings of the great political apostle
/ named above, as well as our own convictions o
right and duty, we feel constrained to array our
selves on the side of the Union party in Mssis
sippi; we shall stand upon the platform of tina
party and do battle for its success to the best
e our poor ability recognizing obedience to the law
! as the SYNONYM Of union, and resistance as dsun
u ion"

of the United States are the supreme law of th
land you only assert what every one will concede
