The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1857-07-08

meeting held, a few days ago. in Houston coun-
ty which bear the true stamp. The resolutions
adopted emphatically declare that the Amerl-
cans Of Georgia ..are not in the market to be
sold to the democratic party" and will not act
with any party, or set Of men, who are hostile
to and oppose the American movement. That
I the $4,000 true Americans in the empire
State ofthe South, y should neither give up MOI
cease in their efforts for their country and the
good Of their native land, merely to crafty the
leaders Of the democracy, which party, although
at this time in the majority, we are assured by
one of their fayorite leaders, Mr.. Stephens, are
dying with the dry rot for "the want o.
principles" Wishing to avoid that disease, and
the death it leads to, the Americans of Geor.
gia, will form no political alliance with party
thus afflicted, and recommend all good and true
men to withdraw from it for their own safety
and their country's good. Nothing but the
food which is dispensed to its leaders from the
public crib is even now keeping the organisa-
ton alive; when that is exhausted it will die
They declare, ''that party which denies that
congress has the power under the constitution
to make appropriations for carrying out works
of internal Improvement by the general govern
ment, and yet make large appropriations to en-
able private spectators to carry out doubtful
speculations, to build railroads across Central
America, to lay Geographic wire across the
Atlantic ocean, and to erect telegraph poles from
the Mississippi to the Pacific ocean; which de-
clares that the general government has no right
to vote money to improve the navigation of the
southern and western rivers, and yet cheerful
y vote millions upon millions Of dollars of the
public money 10 improve northern rivers and
creeks, to dredge and deepen northern harbors,
to build breakwaters in northern lakes for the
exclusive protection of northern vessels and
commerce, and to erect lighthouses and bea-
cons along the entire length of our Atlantic sea
coast for the benefit of northern ship owners
and northern underwriters-are not entitled to
the confidence of true southerners, and should
cease to receive their support That in moth
ing have the southern leaders Of the democracy
acted with more deception, ethan upon the qucs-
ton of slavery--last year, pending the presi-
idential election, they assured the people of the
south that, under the Kansas act, Kansas would
assured)y come into the Union as a slave State,
and most certainly if Mr.. Buchanan should be
elected president. Now, the election being
over, and Mr. Buchanan president, they say that
the "'laws Of soil, climate and population will
prevent Kansas from coming in as slave State
That she will come in as an anti-slavery State
and that Mr. Buchanan, who, if eected was to
bring it in as slave State, has no control over
the matter-can't do it! Such deception on
the part of men il private life, would doom them
to disgrace in any intelligent community; and
such should be the fate of a political party thus
acting with too confding people, having the
right to act and think for themselves
The meeting passed resolutions declaring that
he Americans should nominate candidate for
governor and candidates for congress, and both
branches of the Legislature in every county in
he State; and announce that they are deter
mined to stand by their native land and their
in the hour of need as well as in
Rat of prosperity, and wilnevcr leave off their
abors until victory crowns their banner.

1t is now said that the military expedition to
jtah, which has been so much talked Of lately.
I'll! not take up its line ofmarch from fort Lea
enworth until the middle ofthis month, or the
st of August, and as it will take sixty DAYS to
each Great Salt Lake city, and the SHOWS in
hat region set in as early as October, there will
lther be no expedition at all, or else great suf
srng among the troops. The St. Louis Re-
ubllcan thinks that such an emergency was
ontemplated by thegoyernment, as it has ad-
ertised for the delivery of 1000 head Of cattle
the point of destination of the army: but if
Ids that should not these supplies arrive in
me what would the soldiers do? They would I
Their have to levy upon the mormons forcibly, t
: depend upon their voluntary succor. Under G
lch circumstances we should not be surprised ]
hear that there will be no military expedition /
Utah this season. S
