The Greenbrier Meeting

Public attention will be attracted by the re-
markable resolutions adopted at late meeting
of the citizens of Greenbrer, The purport OF
tn Sc resolves is, that they pledge all who par-
cipated in the meeting. to vote against any con-
stituton which does not recognise the white basis
of representation, and, moreover, tender to the
people of the East the alternative Of the aUhite ba-
sis, or friendly and constitutional separation.
Meetings have been held in some other counties
of Trans-Alleghany Virginia, but, as we have
not seen their proceedings, we are unable to say
whether the Greenbrier resolutions are peculiar
to themselves.
A good deal has been said in the Convention
about making the first threat We desire now to
note the fact, that in no Eastern county have the
citizens in public meeting, declared such sentl-
ment as that if the mixed basis be not engratted
upon the new constitution, they desire the division
of the State. So far as popular declarations are
concerned, it is questionable that the first threat
of separation has proceeded from the Vest
Whether such threats as that of the Greenbrier
resolutions should suffice TO deter Eastern menu
bers of the Convention from putting the mixed
basis into the constitution, is question which they
must determine for themselves. Our own doc
trine is that it can never be wrong to do right,
and, if the mixed basis be founded in justice, the
fear that the Trans-Alleghany region will aban-
don the State, ought never to swerve firm men
from their position.

about two years ago, by passing through Richmond to

Disu,lion Policy in Mississippi.

The evident unwingness of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis to commit himself positively to the advo-
cacy of Disunion, has caused us to watch with
some interest every indication of the purposes of
the party in Mississippi, of which he and Gen.
Qutman are leaders. This party, in that State,
call themselves the Southern Rights party. They
denounce the Compromise measures and all their
advocates, and Gen. Foote in particular. But
whether they are for dissolving the Union out.
right, it has been quite difficult to Judge.
In the last received number of the Jackson
Mississppian, the principal organ of the party in
question, we find something like a programme OF
its policy Having discussed and condemned, as
we will show in another article, the Richmond En-
quirers plan of commercial non-intercourse with
the Northern States, the Missssppian speaks as
follows:
We shall not be suspected Of any alectation when
declare reverence for the Constitutional Union
which our fathers have handed down to u.s. We love
every Star its ample folds, every link in its golden
CHAIN We have felt, with the dec pest pain, the shocks
of the successive blow which have sundered the rel
gous link the chain, which have considered
the strongest The commercial is the next in strength.
We value each link more as one stronger than Itself
those which remain. The North broke the first.
1t must be that the rest shall oow-if it must be
that TO rest the point, when are TO hold the
North we do the rest OF mankind, "enemies 10 war;
let this necessity come from the same Quarter Let the
OF the disunonist rest those who deliberately
refuse our rights as equals in the Union But be-
fore that sad alternative let Virginia and all
the South in Southern Congress demand OF the
North equitable dUision of the territories md the
protectonot property in the sdaea recognition
Of our equality guarantees for its preservation and
non'nterterence aoith private concerns. Should
this be refused US in manner that shall show it to be
the deliberate will OF her people, will then be found
defending whatever the Southern States shall resolve
to do. And when Virginia will thus unite with Missis-
| sppi, We will not cav at the right OF the Richmond
Enquirer to direct citizens where they shall edu-
| cate their
Although Southern Congress is thus recon,
mended as the proper mode of regaining those
Southern rights which the Mssissippan's party
is organized to uphold, we are not aware that any
provision has been made for the representation OF
Mississippi in such a body, The issue between
her two Senators, in their expected popular can
vass, is likely to be the proprety of taking part in
Congress which has been ignored by every
Southern State except South Carolina. The late
resolution of Virginia will be material aid to the
arguments of Gen. Foote, and we cannot doubt
that he will be sustained
The Southern Rights party are to hold q
State Convention ON the 10th of June to nominate
| candidates for the State offices.
