The Salvation Of the UniOn--The reduction Of
the price of Cake and Beer.

the price of Cake and Beer.
On Tuesday last it sternly and solemnly resolv
ed we suppose, preserve the Union of the States,
and the poet hath said that there is some good in
every thing is supposed that there is to be reduc
ton the price of cake and beer hencefoh and forever
more. Whether this reduction is to grow out of the
salvation of the Union or is cast into the common
fund of humbug a sop, time will develope At all
events, a proposition is solemnly made to organize
party in Lowndes county the barren premises that
the Union is to be preserved. This proposition sup
poses that Union party is necessary to prevent dsso
luton and it carries the friends of such organization
up to the point of proclaimng to the world that they
willing taey to submit and quietly acquiesce an in
jury and erong that they openly acknowledge Singular
is this proposition it becomes anomalous when it is
announced that substantial objection can be urged
against conservative position which looks to indie
pendence at home respect abroad and the certain pre-
servaon of the Union. 1t is right inherent in every
citizen question the action of government Ifthere
shall be injury wrong inflicted if pal pabe and
openly confessed discrimination against section for
the advancement of another section of the conederacy
receives the sanction of government, it is right that
plain would readily yield to question the justice
of the action of that government. people who do
not deny that injustice has been done, and ready
permit their mouths to be closed by party organization
against lawful demand for redress for their interests
basey, nay, wantony sacrificed, ready to soop to
receire the yohe preparing for them. tbs impossible
believe that Mississippi will tolerate any organization
utterly abhorent to its previous chivarc bearing.
In fact it is believed that organization cannot be
made that promu gates the monstrous doctrines that
republicans forbidden to demand redress for injury
and foul wrong.
We listened patiently and attentvely to the speech
delivered in this city Tuesday last by the Vicechan
cellor of this district He presented series of
uons to meeting of citizens, the scope and tenor of
which, if correctly understood, demanded Submissive
quiescence in the late action of Congress final ad
juStment of the question Of Slavery 1t is not intended
to review the learned and eloquent speech of our friend
the chancellor, and Junior contemporary of the Column
bus Democrat. His friends have saved that labor
by their comments and, this not the case are
not vain enough to hazard character journalist
in controversy constitutional law with the Vice
Chancellor of the State of Mississippi. By means.
The fact is it has bothered others having law
formation to square his position that the STAKEHOLDER
protected in the enjoyment Of his property the
territories of Nelo Merco and Utah these are the ex-
press words uttered by the Judge with certain other
admissions made in the of that brilliant burst of
eoquence and very subdued satire, where he said that
the protection not exactly what he would like,
and would not therefore oppose those who demanded
more" This is kind but the doubt is, who the
Judge satirizing, his own, or another party
| Clay, Webster Crittenden and we might mention
Toombs and Stephens and would do so but that they
are not great men, have agreed to disagree with our
FRIEND the Judge constitutional question 1t is of
no Importance, however. The only earthly difficulty
preventing most happy adjustment of this open ques-
ton of constitutional law that surely exists between
Judge Dickinson and the gentlemen named, now that
the Judge has decided against them, in law parance
reversed their opinion is whether the decision of the
chancellor shall take precedence not 1t is not del
lcate that we utter an opinion against the chancellor
decislon because it possibly might unhinge compro-
mise between the Judge and those gentlemen, which
ought in good faith, to be regarded final 1t is i'm
portant to say however, not for the information of the
chancellor for it presumed that he is of the
fact that majority in Congress sustain Clay and Web
ster in their opinions, and that the provso excluding
slavery not insisted because the object intended
to be attained was practically reached in another form
as efficient less dangerous, but odous because it
suPposes the people of the South be wretchedy ig-
of their rights under this conederacy 1t not
dscourteous to say, and we say in most kind spirit
that we hope there are lawyers in city who have
not attained the exalted legal emnence of friend
the Judge, who capable of defending the compro-
mise measures more successfully than they by the
chancellor on Tuesday last. ii
Chancellor Dickinson announced that he was in for
the work. and that he would shrink from no labor ne
cessary to defend the late action of Congress in regard
to the compromise measures and that he would de-
fend the policy quietly submitting to them as final
We understand this to be opposed to organizing any
party on other than positive acquesng premises.
Not satisfied with this position believing that the COM
promise measures unjust, feel authorized to
der to chancellor Dickinson opportunity to meet and
debate those measures before the public Gentlemen
whom Judge Dickinson will recognize capable of
rendering debate interesting and profitable will meet
him any where, at such time he may Designate 1t
is intended to get the facts before the people, and in
the opinion of many intelligent gentlemen, no better
method is presented than debating the question before
them fit should suit the chancellor to discuss this
question before the people, satisfied that he will
find several able gentlemen ready to enter the list by
leaving his consent at this Office There is gascon-
ade in this, and we beg gentlemen to understand it.
There has arisen in the circle of the submission
lists question of fearful Importance, and that party
is famous for important issues may be feared that
other division will take place between them, and that
new party will spring up here It is open and a
fearful question, involving interests enough to divide
