infamous barbarity to which poor man not able
to discharge pecunary obligation is liable at the
hands of soulless creditor, where the law for i'm.

ALABAMA POLITICS,


public meeting was lately held at Montsome-
ry, Alabama, for the purpose Of forming " South
ern Rights Union Club as an organization to OPP
pose the Southern Rights Clubs of Secessionists.
The club was formed and a constitution adopted,
the preamble of which sets forth that their object
is to oppose all factions parties whose object is
dissolution of the Federal Government for ex-
isting causes. The resolutions declare that I" as
the issue of union or dsunion is to be made before
the people of Alabama at the next general election,
it behooves US to prepare for the contest and tina,
they therefore adopt the resolutions of the Georgia
Convention platform.
The Mobile Register" doubts the propriety Of
this movement, under existing circumstances de-
MES that it is probable that the question Of union
or dsunion will be presented to the people of Ala.
bama any where at the ensuing election, in re-
spectacle or imposing form declares that the re.
cent action of the Southern State Rights Clubs, SO
far as they recommended secession, has proved
entirely aborive and stillborn that the people in
no county of the State will tolerate that issue, and
that the utraists will not dare make it.
