States Rights Union Meeting.

A meeting of the citizens of Columbus who are
opposed to the compromise measures, who approve
of the objects of the States Rights Union -4ssoci-
alton of Lowndes county will be held this evening
Saturday at candle light in the Court house, to
form an Association for the town of Columbus
to cooperate with the county association,
William L. Harris, ESQ., will address the meet
ing. He especially invites his wing friends, who
co-operated with and supported him--both in the
Presidential election, against the doctrines of Gen
Cass in 1348 and in the succeeding COMPRESSION
al election, to come and hear him. He has talk
for his old friends. He would be glad to see all
who may be disposed to seek truth, right, justice
He has neither the time the inclination to wran-
gle on the streets, or to loaf around the store
doors with that class Of politicians who figure from
day to day in the Misrepresentation of the senti-
ments and opinions of better men. He has, there
fore selected Saturday evening to address those
who may honor him with their presence, prepar-
atory to a series of lectures carefully prepared
from authority on the rights of the States and the
powers of the Government which he designs to
deliver, with the view to aiding those whose pur-
suits have not led them to the study of Constitu-
tional Law.
He will establish by authority, in the course of
his lectures, the following propositions
1. That the Constitution of the United States
was formed and ratified by the People of the seq
eroI States in their separate sovereign character as
States and not by the People of the United States,
as constituting zone notion'
2. That the right to judge, in the last resort,
of questions of political power, arising between
State and the government of the United States,
has not been delegated to either department of the
Federal Government, and is therefore reserved to
each State for itself.
8. That the Government of the United States,
while it may coerce individuals, cannot, by force
of arms, compel sovereign State to obey its man
date. Such power was not only not granted but
distinctly refused by the States when they formed
their constitutional Union.

Having no political aspirations greatly nrefering
the walks of private hfe and feeling deep interest in
the welfare of our country were it at all probable that
could render better service to the State or be more
available than Others should not feel at liberty to de-
