The Yazoo Democrat., 1853-07-20


0-s- The Yazoo Democrat still asserts tha
/" Chapman Of the Standard" is no peace maker,
and that his course is calculated 70 do the reg
uar ticket, and the party generally, more harm
than open opposition to 1t" We know that our
Hazoo friends err, sadly err and that if they could
but appreciate one half of the difficulties By
which, as party we are surrounded. they would
applaud discretion that has saved the ticket in
part IN three counties, and the influences of
which is working favorably in the disaffecied
sections. We are beginning to see the fruits of
our labor--our kind words have reached the I'M
derstandings of men, and we now know person
ally that the work of consolidation Is quietly
going on, and that our efforts are being seconded
by men OF intelligence all around and about u.s.
Columb@S Standard. Julg 9th
0-s- AS might have been expected, Chapman
takes to himself the credit, in main, of having
checked the Chickasaw Rebellion, and now asks
to be applauded for ga discretion that has saved
the ticket in part IN three counties" We are
not sure that this is not ell due our friend Chap
man, but we must beg liberty to think different
| ly. Chapman some tmes-an1 we might say
often strikes the nail upon the head,7 though
/ we do not think be struck the Chlckasaw Gener-
/ al and his Cbickasaw rebels on the head-Tather
lick a-head 1t is we'll known that Chapman
left Jackson upon the adjournment Of the May
Convention, declaring hostility to the " floating
portion of the ticket and from that time on,
we have seen nothing in The Standard calculated
to discourage the Davis faction--on the contra
1 ry, every thing to encourage them. Let-us
quote from the Standard of about the first o.
June: reading as follows:
The disaffecton is deep and radical. and the
names OF men now floating upon the surface o
the troubled waters, are but as feathers, they on
ly indicate by their motions the angry swell o
indignation lying among the masses-among tn
people"
This was never contradicted until after th
meeting of the Pontotoc Convention, the char
acter Of which proved one of two things: tina
there never was such g deep and radical disai
; fection, or that the discouragement with whie
the disafIeced met from all sections of Estate
/, North as well as South, pointed out to them
complete routing Of horse, foot and dragoon.
II their disaffection was so great, upon tn
grounds of having injustice and wanton disres
pect shown them by the Convention, what hs
: turned up to satisfy them? Nota point has bee
4 yielded, not an Acknowledgements made, whs
we ask has affected so great a change. if indee
:, there has been any, among the masses, save ii
SleFn resistance Oh the great OOdy o. LIE ueTnt
cratic press Chapman warned the Souther
and Eastern democrats to " listen in time to II
l. language of soberness and reason. and no! be d
d luded By the belief that The hostility Is eu4nescen
;; or that less than full recognition Of az thot
t right and inapartia Hy Just wia be submitted t.
A. We again ask what demand has been recognize
,e and acceeded 10 Then how could the Standa
It have effected this change-acknowled ging, as
J did, the justice of the complaints. Extrae
e from The Monroe Democrat, the chief organ
is the disaffacted, are given to prove that g wor
II of kindness would have availed." But the e
i tracts given. only show that the STANDARD agre,
n IA sentiment ard feeling with the Democrat
!, Let us see what the Democrat thought about =
= Cancellation, though In the first article quot
/ by The Standard. it says " Rut, alas hope as
1t fed-our efforts at reconciliation have prov
is fruitless." y y 1--WE ask for nc compromis
lgl We will accept none. The day Of probate
~ with our Southern brethren has now passed,
= &c. &c. In the second article quoted, the Mo
Id roe Democrat aays: . We shall ask for nothi
g. but what is righ,, and shall submit to nothi
Sc that is wrong" Now what was it they ask
I'd for, and what did they get? They asked
lg change of Floating candidate, and m2ny ati
things, and what did they get? But we
done. Chapman. we love you as democlat
ck dislike nothing but little error in judgment
is so think your Yazoo friends.
