Southern Rights Associations have been
formed in nearly every county in the State
Efficient public speakers have been actively en-
gagged in meeting the people and discussing the
question involved in the existing relations be.
tween the Federal State Governments. More
orless speeches have been made III every Coun-
ty in the State during the Spring Terms of the
Circuit Court. Nor have the efforts thus made
to awaken the people to a true sense of their
condition beeu made in vain. The masses are
becoming aroused to a sense of the injuries H..
licted upon them by the Federal Government
thc Free Soil Parliament ut Washington.
The first great effort that was made i'll Mis-
sisnally failed alude to the effort that was
made to unite the two great political par
ties in the State, and throu yhout the South, in
one organized and common system Of vndica-
ting the rights and avcnging the wrongs orthe
South, as indicated by the proceedings Of the
October Convention, and which led to the
meeting of the "Nashville Convention" say
that effort has proven to be a failure The
Wings as a party-particularly in Mississippi,
have proven traitors to their then pledges, and
to the country. The zeal of the leaders to sus-
tain and perpetuate their party triumph, which
they had, in an evil hour achieved, in the cleo
ton of Free Soil President and Cabinet, has
tfirinphed over their Judgment and honesty,
and their devotion to the rig hts fthe South
if any they had ;.and this good hour in the
opinion of your correspondent, two-thirds of the
Wings Of Mississippi are Fillmoreites and vile
Submssionists. Under the mask Of "Union'
or"Unon Party" they have sought to re organ
ize .and So to recruit their party from the Demo-
cratic rauks, as to enable them to CONTROL the
entire State elections They have already held
their State "Uuion" (alias Whig Convention,)
tosnominate candidates for the various State
Offices; and as bribery is familiar game with
them as a party, they have exercised much lib
crafty in that way towards their newly COIL
converted brethren. They have nominated the
little traitor, Foote for Governor, and General
Clark fol. Treasurer; both of whom have sluf-
tea from the Democratic party. ~ -.
g But no fears should be entertained by our
friends Of the South elsewhere, in reference to
Southern Rights in this State, in the coming
contest The Southern Rights ticket will GER
tainly prevail. and the State will as certainly
pursue an honorable course of resistance to
Free Soil Aggression. -4s,.. ,..s.:s.',
The gallant JEFF Davis, or the unfincbing
Qnitman, viii be the standardabearer Of the
Southern Rights party for Governor. Should
the State falter-should she back out from her
present position by the election Of a majority
OF Subnissionists to the Convention, the saliva.
ton of the South viii fall solely upon South
Carolina, But a result so .calamitous, a des-
tiny so degraded and runous to Mississippiis
scarcely possible-not at all probable. The
people are, becoming aroused, and whenever
Investigation is had by the masses, their con-
yictions are favorable to patriotic and manly
resistance to the usurpations and mal-adminls-
tration of,the Federal Government. Suitable
resistance tickets are being formed in every
County in the State, as we'll for the Convention
as for tho Legislature; and that the Southern
Rights party will have large majority in each
Of fthese bodies wchavc no doubt.
saButd have said that in the event that Mis-.
sissippi1shall falter in this struggle-a thing
scarcely possiblo-it is true the salvation ofthe
South will fall upon South Carolina l will
here so far digress, as to give the reasons why
/ have so said. The result of your late cleo
tionsfor members ofyour pending Convention,
and the demonstrations Of the popular will in
your State; made through the late Southern
Rights Convention at Charleston, prove con-
clasively, that efficient separate State action
can be had IN that State. The people Of that
State, always jealous of her rights, have been
trained for years past to appreciate and to de-
fehd them. The siren song of "Union," which
denagognes and traitors to the South are wont
to lisp in their hearing, cannot mislead the peo.
pie of the Palmetto State. The memory of a
Calhoun, and the burning eloquence of a Rhett,
asButler, Woodward, and Wallace, with
hundreds of other like patriots and statesmen
forbid it. South Carolina, then, can act-she
soM act In and through her separate action,
the question will be brought twill be forced
upon the other slaveholding States for their ac-
ton respectively South Carolina will lay the
foundation for secession, and the other slave.
holding States will be forced to build thereon,
to cooperate with South Carolina, or emanci-
pate their slaves. But few of the Southern
States can or will adopt the latter policy. BY
this means, then full operation of the South
ern States viii be obtained, the present Union
dissolved, and new and more perfect Union
and government of the Southern States form
cd, "laying its foundation on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their safe
ty and happiness" This done, and the South
ern States would rival the world in prosperity.
Relieved from the onerous burdens heretofore
