The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1852-04-15

The following from the Dallas Gazette. ia
sent us by member of the Southern Rights
party, "who does not re-organize," with a re.
quest TO publish
MIR. fANCEY AND THE "RE-oRGANIZERsr-
Since the meeting of the S. uthern Rights con-
ventlon on the 4th ult., the State Guard. Mobile
Register, and Montgomery Advertiser and Ga
zefte, have each had brick to throw at Mr..
Yancey. The first impugns his motives in ad
vocalng the separate organization of the South
ern Rights party. The other two, less bold
content themselves for the present with publish,
ing notices Of his position calculated to throw
him into rdcule with their readers. This NAV
be right enough in free country, and as. Mr..
Yancey does not object, it may be asked what
business is it of ours? None, 80 far az he os
a private individual is concerned With the
matter IN this respect we have nothing to do. II
is his province to defend himself and we have
no wish to intrude into it. But in their course
toward MIR. Yancey these papers have higher
purpose to secure than the mere injury of on
individual. 1t is not to destroy the man, but
his party through him they desire; and in this
respect 1t IS our right and duty to notice it, and
to expose their object
When the attack first appeared in the Gunrd
we expressed the suspicion that some of ourDsn.
ocratic friends were disposed to give orr mr.
ty. through Mr.. Yancey, a secret stab. It struck
US then that with some of them the hour had mr..
rived when the head Of Southern Rights must
roll. The party had refused to affiliate with the
"unterrified," and without its utilization or co.
operation they well knew the Democracy had
little hope OF carrying the State To suffer
separate organization kept up, therefore, was
out OF the question. But how prevent it? To
attack it openly, beside looking awkward on the
part OF quondam Sire eaters" might excite
discussion, and thus increase rather than dimin.
18Th its strength. TO misrepresent the senti.
ments OF the party might produce the same re-
suit. There was but one way to reach the end.
with anything like certainty, and that was by
indirection. An attack upon its influential lead.
ers was an attack upon the party without seem
ing to be such, and if successful. would as eff.
fectually destroy the party The plan was
consequently adopted. This was our idea then.
Subsequent events but 20 to strengthen the
suspicion. Last week the ReaSster's onslauph
appeared, surprising even that of the Guard
IN Its capaclty for mischief, and this had barely
reached Montgomery before it was republished
IN the Advertiser and Gazette Now we saw
there Is some design in all this, and that
design aims more at the injury of the Southern
Rights party than Mr.. Yancey as one of it's
u'Vo1 Hiuthlai UcmDerS. Had the Southern
Rights party in its convention determined to
dIsband' or had it recommended cooperation
with the Democracy, Mr.. Yancey might have
assumed what position he pleased without fear
OF assault from any of the "unterrified." Not
one OF them would have cared to impugn his
motives, or rdcule his position. That incon-
tisiency which they are now SO ready to detect
IN HIM would have passed unnoticed, and those
feelings OF revenge which prompt him to en-.
deavor to unite his party with the constitutional
unlonIsts for the defeat of the Democracy.
would still have lain an abortion in the womb
of the Guard 1t is because of the opposition
OF the Southern Rights party to that consistency
which would preserve the rights of the South
by afliliation with Northern Freesoilers. that he
has become mark for the arrows of the "reor.
ganzed' "'rhis is the head and front of his
olrendipg;" and it is a grievous sim Those
seven principles which John Randolph spoke
are depending upon the union of the entire
Democracy, and he who does aught to prevent
their preservation sins beyond forgiveness
