Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1852-03-06

ter, approving what th2 whole South then denoun-
ced, startling, fearful prognostic, of the depth
and extent of the reasonable desertion of the
rights of the States and the interests of the South,
which exists in our very midst
Even the Webster construction OF General Jack
sons neutrality-suspicious. by himself, and
never adopted by his friends--is now seized upon
bv these miserable tools of Foote and federal de-
mocracy at the North, and consolidation whggery
every where, and the names of Andrew Jackson
and Democracy converted to their use, and worn
as mask to deceive and entrap the Democracy
of principle into the belief that the doctrines of
the Southern Rights party, are not the Jefferso-
MAN State Rights doctrines of '98 and 90 but
that Andrew Jackson Don6lson and Daniel Web
ser, are better expounders of the written opinions
of the old Hero than Andrew Jackson himself.
Associated with General Jackson in the dark
est hour of his Presidential service !! A Tom
cat about his freside or an humble spaniel per-
mitted the to recline his lazy length beneath his
hospitable roof! A lounging urchin upon unmer-
tied favor associated with Presidential ser
vice. !! Having fed on the bounty of his bene-
factor and the public crib so long without the hon
est toll which makes sweet the poor mans rest
he does not know how to live in the absence of both
his patron and the public favor, and hence hsvan-
ity, his importunate desire to rally Numbers under
the name of democracy, while the triumph of Alb
clifton, freesoi federalism and the destruction of
the rights of the States are the sacrifcia offerings
to be made to the Molach of his avarice, the Pub
lie Printing, the organship.
Fora type of mortality like this, politically black
with his own abolition rocivities-gangrene with
the infection Of Federalism and consolidation, and
rejected by the operation of natural causes as I'M
sound by the great body of the southern democra-
cy, to attempt to lecture them upon ''the duty of
the Democracy" is stretch of arrogance and i'm
pudence we had scarcely expected from the over
grown vanity of this liberated pet of the late own
er of the Hermitage.
For our part when we need advice--we should
prefer it from purer, ADLER, more disinterested
source The principles of Jeffersonan Democra-
cy are obvious to all, they need exposition at
this day-their steady firm support constitutes the
true duty of every genuine disciple of the faith
He who in the of democracy would counsel
an abandonment of those principles for party
triumph, is dastardly wretch in whose soul turks
and hes d traitors purpose. The man or the set
of men-who can consent to give a listening ear to
the corrupt proposal because a party to the vile
conspiracy and ever-doubting, deserves felon' S
doom. We speak boldly-perhaps harshly be it
so we have compliments for open deserters-
no respect for trators-nothing but execration for
the man who proposes to barter principles for
peace and place-to buy truce with vital error
by J1ryiag tie differences between vice and virtue
Let the honest independent press boldly speak
what they must know and feel and the response
OF honest people will seal and sanction their
effort in the cause of truth.
Freemen of Mississippi awaken from your slum-
Der! Arise for before another decade shall roll
! its fleeing hours over you-by the same down
ward progress of events which has converted
Southern democrats into Webster federalists, the
reverend propogator of the foulest of human error
will find his open advocates and supporters IN your
midst. Some " Flag Of the Union" or "Wash
ington Union" or Union of motely colors as wei
as motley principles, will avow its dark purpose
by the approval of the doctrines of Giddings him
self.
