Rldiculing Poor Men who are Loyal to
the South.

A great deal has been published by the Bell
Douglas and Douglas-B press, in ridicule Of
Mr.. breckenridge, because he is man Of
small means and owns but few slaves, while
MRS. Bell owns great many and Mr.. Bell
enjoys the income from their labor. Below.
however is an extract from letter 10 the N.
o. Courier, from Alexandra, La, about Doug
las barbecue, at which Pierre Soule smoke.
and where, it seems, he ridiculed non-slaye-
Dlders who assert the rights of the South.
The writer says Of SouIe:
He also stated that the chief supporters Of
protection in the territories were MANY who
were not slave owners, and in connection there
with told an anecdote to ridicule and bnrles-
que all poor men who were not able to own
slaves. 1t would be too lengthy to follOv
him through all his dramatic oration. 80 we
leave him to cometO Major Heron, who hon
ored the assembly with his presence.
1t has come to pretty pass, when nom
Shareholders Of the South are to be ridiculed
by such men as Pierre SouIe, the lieutenant
general Of Douglas in the SOuth-Douglas,
who buta few days since, was received, at
Elmira, N. Y, by the Wide AtOGke Republi-
cans Of that place, who acted as his escort.
When we remember that the Wide Aspakss
are the Ossa0attGnsie BroiOns Of the Republi-
can party, the significance Of the compliment
of an escort by them Of Douglas is most
manifest.
The truest sons of the South have always
been her poor men, who being poor are yet
s0hite men and animated by as patriotic q spirit
as the richest in the land. Who have fought
the battles ofthe country, against the British ?
Whose blood was most freely shed in MexicOf
Was it not that of our poor young men p
Then why doubt the loyalty of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge because he is poor
Let the people reflect on the injustice Of this
charge. There is no crime in being poor
The men of the South who own no negroes,
or only few, have always shown themselves
ready to defend our institutions. Mr.. Breck-
inridge. himself went to Mexico, as soldierl
And what credit is there to Mr.. Bell, in his
having the use of hundreds of slaves? They
belong to his wife. He got the use of them
by marriage. He has made no fortune for
himself And shall he be elevated because he
married rich, and Mr.. Breckenridge be depre-
ciated because he did not =? Let the shriekers
answer these questions.

Gen. Ruben Davis and tho Election Of
Black Republican to the Presi-
dency.

Tho bold and faithful Representative n
Congress from the End District, in the course
Of recent speech at Houston, indicated what
he thought to be the duty of Mississippi in
the event of the election Of Lincoln. We
copy the following extract from a graphic
sketch of his speech, which we find in the Hous
ton Petrol:
Mr.. Davis boldly, and in language that
brought tears to many eyes, appealed to his
constituents to resist-to meet the issue Ike
men-and he further told them, if they IN
structed him to resist Lincoln at Washington,
HE WOULD DO IT, and they must be there to
back him. The shouts Of applause that fol-
lowed this declaration answered him, They
would be there Mr.. Davis further declared
that if the people of Mississippi submitted to
Lincoln, he would leave Washington five days
before his Inauguration, that his eyes might
never behold the degradation Of the South
lie pictured the inhmy Of submission to
party that would treat US as bondsmen and
slaves and when he proclaimed resistance to
that party, even to bloodshed,' the people
hailed it with fierce delighr-such as the
war-horse feels when he snufs the scent Of
the battle afar ofE"-HouStoR PetreI.

The Oppositionlsts Going Farther than
Yancey in Advocating Disunion.

The Democratic party, under the lead O
Breckenridge and Lane, is charged with beine
disunion party, because it is willing to haz
zard all in the maintenance Of the constitu.
tional rights of the South. 1t is charged with
being disunion party, because some of its
leading men have declared their unwilling.
ness to quietly submit to Black Republican
administration, which declares its object to be
ment not to carry out the object for which it
was formed, the protection of life, liberty and
property but to destroy the rights of fifteen
States Of this Union. The cry ofdisunion has
been made the raw head and bloody bones"
of the canvass, for the purpose ofiatmidating,
and thereby preventing, Southern men from
| standing up for their equal rights under the
constitution.
A few days ago we thre9s bshell into
the Opposition camp BY pGpisfssg the res6iu.
ton of Mr. Smedes and the amendment of Mr..
Lake to the resolutions on federal relations
introduced into our Legislature last winter.
The Hon. VIM. c. Smedes declared, in that
resolution, that the Black Republican party
was IAN organization at war with the Just and
equal rights of the slaveholding States" and
that the election of its candidate for the Pre-
sidency, though according to the forms of the
Constitution, would be in violation Of its spirit;
and be calculated to drive the Southern States
into open and direct hostility to the Govern
ment." The amendment offered by the Hon.
W. A. Lake went further, and declared that
the election of such candidate to the Presi-
dency "would be just ground for the South
ern States to take counsel for their separa-
ton, safety and protection" These declara-
tions Of principle were supported by the OPP
position members of the last Mississippi Legis-
lature. Yet the Opposition speakers and edi
tors (and some of them the very
men who sanctioned the position of Messrs.
Smedes and Lake, charge that the Democra-
tic party is a disunion party because, they
say, it occupies the very position which
we have shown they occupied less than twelve
