The Woodville Republican., 1851-10-28
GEN. COOPER, in NatChez,

Of lhs slliisssof cur noble and distinguish
ed candidate ior the STATE Senate, to the
people Of Naiehsz. We commend is peru
cal;
In his Court-H Juse speech, Gen. Cooper
proved that The docIiBe called the State
Rights creed. was that Of Jefferson. Madisoa
and most Of the Revolutionary Fathers Of
our country; that they were embodied in the
fsmous Resolutions Of Virginia and Ken
tuciey, in 1855 and 1899 which were writ
ten by Jefferson and tina. these Resolutions
which en- body the States Rights creed, en-
tire, as well as the doctine Of the State seces-
sion, peaceabe, in certain contingencies,
were adopted in the State Senate OF Missis-
sippl in 1912, and reafirmed by an unani-
nous vote, wings aud all,-even Doctor
Metchaf,-the whig Senator from Adams
county then voting for them What now
was the reason for the whig cry Of disuni01t'
treason and secession towalds those who still
advocated the doctrine that the wings stood
up for in 1912, and even in the State Con-
vention Of 1882
Cen Cooper sarcasticaly alluded to the
whig and subussicn cry heard before the
September election for members oil the State
Convention; that the Uaios aoaS tn danger,
that IL muSt be sapea i, Wei, the wings say
ed the Union in September But what is
the matter now 50 shortly after7 The cry
now is that the Union must be SaUa again
IN Norembert
Who so blind as not to see that all this
cry is ruse, a hatla6ug--a scramble of the
wings to get into power; as, if they only
could get majority OF the Leg gslature cleo
ted from their party, they would elect a
whig President of the Senate and then as
two United States Senators were to be elec
ted Foote, if chosen Governor, would re-
sign, for the purpose of being elected again
as a U. ). Senator, together with a whig
colleague tor The uuexpired term oil Col jeff
Davis and then the wing President Of the
Senate would quietly step into the Cover
nor's chair vacated by Foote and thus the
crafty wings aided hy the weak Democrats
they had hoodwinked by the falacious cry
of Union, would have quiet possession Of
the three most important offices in the Gift
of the people of the State!
General Cooper threw all the responsible
ty ofthe plesent divided State of the country
on the so called compromise measures upon
the whig party. The Clayton Compromise
as it was called. would have amply satisfied
the South but that was defeated, after pas
sing the United States Senate, by eigh
southern whig members in the lower House
| The re-enactment of the Missouri Compro
mise, which would have satisfied the Soutt
was defeated by the cooperation in Con
gress of the Northern wings and free-soi
Democrats. The third attempt at Compro
mise, namely, Walkers amendment to tn
appropriation bill, on the last day of the ses
sion, and which would have satisfied th
South, was defeated by Seward, who, acl
ing under the influence of General Taylor
Ewing aud others. run in Websrer's amen
ment, re.aifirming the Mexican local law
in regard to slavery, which took the place {
Walkers, and defeated it Thus time wa
gained to run in California fraudulently, a
a free State.
| But that portion ofGeu. Cooper's speec
which drew down the loudest pIaudits We
in relation to Col. jeff Davis, our dfstingnis
ed candidate for the office of Governor. Ge
Cooper said, "At one of the most periot
moments on the field Of Buena Vista, whe
the First Mississippi Rifles were forced /
the overwhelming colums Of the Mexical
in full charge, TO fall by independent fie
when ne arly one-third of their plumbers ha
fallen unt Ter the Mexican FIRE; when the
could be seen no object on the plain, nj
even clunlp of trees for the regiment
rally upon, the eyes of the brave Mississip
Rifles fell upon the manly form Of their Co
mel, JEFF Davis, still in the saddle athous
severely wounded, and face to the foe,'
instantly the cry rang through the res
ment; Rally on TIC Colonel. Rally {
the Colonel. In less tirne than it takes
uarate the event, the regiment had rali'
on their Colonel and presented united fro
to the enemy"
Il Said General Cooper, democrats c.
jeff Davis though wounded, is still in !
, saddle; he is fixed and steady point {
which, with confidence, you may turn yo
eyes. OS7' LET US RALLY ON I'll
COLONEL! ~kl and again come to I
charge. All is not lost so long as ous 81
liant rider is in the saddle! ORALLY o
THE COLONEL" and the victory W
fyet be ours" (Ihanders Of appkanSe)
