A Specimen Of q GLORIOUS Union
Meeting"


At one OF the recent glorious Union Meet
ings," about which We hear so much talk now
a'day&, the subjeined resolution was adopted.
II was held at Rochester, New York. 1t will
be seen that this meeting has no rebuke for
the higher law" traitors Of the North. who
have brought the States 20 the verge Of d;sso-
luton, by multiplying the solemn compacts upon
which they became united and visits its se-
we're censure upon the defensive measures of
the assailed section
ResolraH, That We cannot too strongly re-
buke the sentiment, that the election Of a
President by constitutional majority having
views of public policy with which the ininor-
ty DO lot coincide would furnish Just cause
for the dissolution of the Union. We, on the
contrary, hold such sentiments to be disorgan-
izing and tratorous, odouS to all patriotic and
Union-loying men, and disgracef':l to the civili-
cation of the age and we hereby give to our
fellow-citizens East, West, North and South,
our most solemn pledge that whoever may be
elected President OF these United States, in
constitutional way, shall receive from US, in
the lawful discharge Of his duties, the same
willing obedience and energetic support which
we have given to each and all of his prcdeces-
sors and We hereby declare our firm and un
alerable purpose to sustain and protect him,
in the lawful discharge of those duties, from
all enemies within or without, at home or
abroad.
The New York Day Book copies the fore
going sparkling outburst of Northern conser :
vatism. and aptly says: an case then, that
the Abolitionists Of the North were able to
elect, by sectional vote, Phillips, Cheever,
Garrison or Fred Douglass to the next Presi-
dency, these Rochester Union gentlemen
would be quite ready to march upon the men
of the South who should object to having
such traitors administer the laws over them"

A Response from Maine.


We wish We could give uttcrance to all we
feel Of admiral on and gratitude for those true
hearted, and self-sacrificing spirits in the hot
beds of anti-slavery hnaticism, who, in de-
fiance Of the vitiated sentiment around them,
dareto greet with words of approval, the sound
doctrines, which are proclaimed by the DeInoc-
racy of the South, and to sustain her public
men who are the objects Of abolition vilifca-
the constitutional equality. Of the Southern
States. Among these choice spirits, we have
not overlooked our able cotemporary Of the
Belfast Maine Journal, who not only endorses
bold declarations of support for the Presidency,
ofthe men who have been designated as the first
choice of Mississippi and of Georgia. 1t says:
. GEORGIA AND MISSISSIPPI, AND THEIR FA-
voRITE SoSs-During the past few weeks
Democratic State Conventions have been held
in Georgia and Mississippi for the choice OF
delegates to the Charleston Convention. Each
ofthese Conventions voted 70 present the name
Of one of its most distinguished sons to that
convention for the nomination for the Presi-
dency. Who those gentlemen are, no one at
all acquainted, with the public sentiment in
those States need be informed-they are HON.
HOWELL COBB and HON. JEFFERSON
DAVIS-names honorable and honored in our
political annals. b 4azs
After the signal abilities displayed by both
these gentlemen, and the distinguished seryi-
ces rendered by them both in state and ma
tional capacity, it would not be strange if not
only their own immediate constituents but the
citizens of other states should pronounce
them worthy o. the highest honors of the re-
public. Should the choice of the democracy
Of either Of these states become the choice of
the democracy Of the Union, no sound national
democrat could suppress the conviction that it
had been worthily bestowed, and that under
such standard bearer the democratic banner
would triumph gloriously.

Abolition Maxims.

The Rev. Thcordore Parker, one of the
high priests of the Black Republican zealots,
in letter which is published in the Now York
Tribune, (Which more than any paper, is the
organ of the Black Republican party, cordially
approves the foray of Old Brown and his con-
lederates and proceeds to lay down the fol-
lowing cardinal tencts in the Black Republican
or Abolition creed:
/. A man held against his win as slave
has a natural right to kill every one who
seeks to prevent his enjoyment of liberty.
2. 1t may be natural duty of the slave to
develop this natural right in practical man
ner, and actually kill all those who seek to
prevent bis enjoyment of liberty.
g. The freeman has a natural right to help
the slaves recover their liberty, and in that en-
terprise to do for them all which they have a
right to do for themselves.
4. 1t may be natural duty for the freeman
to help the slaves to the enjoyment Of their
liberty, and as means to that end, to aid them
in killing all such as oppose their natural free
dom.
5. The performance of this duty is to be
controlled by the frceman's power and oppor-
tunity to help the slaves.

Veto Message.

4r The following is the message of the Cover
nor, assigning his reasons for Withholding his
assent to the bill incorporating the Monticello
Railroad Company:
ssisssq ExEcuTTvE CHAMBER, Dec. Is, 1853. i.
ssgsG Gentlemen Of tie Senate: Herewith return
to the Senate asbill to be entitled An act to
incorporatethe Monticello Railroad Company" !"
with my objections to its becoming law.
2 In section IL it is provided that the jury in
determining said damages shall take into con-
sideratien the benefit resulting to said owner.
Believing this provision conflicts with the 18th
section of the 1st article of the Constitution,
which declares that no persons property. shall
bs taken or applied to public use, without the
co7sent Of the Legislature, and without just
compensation being made therefor. |, there
fore, deem it my duty to return said bill to the
Senate for its consideration. fa.
The Constitution, in my opinion, contem-
plates compensation to be made in money
The compensation provided for in this bill is
the benefit resulting to the owners Of lands
from the construction Of the railroad. Re-
garding this provision as unjust to the owners
OF The property which is to be taken for the
benefit Of the Road. respectfully ask its re-
consideration before it becomes law.

transmitted by Governor Wickliffe to both
Houses Of the Louisiana Legislature

sippi be requested to grant aid to the New
Orleans, jackson and Great Northern Rail.

lie recommends the repeal of the law
which infiicts punishment and confinement
upon the slaves confined in the penitentiary.
He reviews the act passed by the last
Legislature to prevent the migration OF Tree
negroes from other States He is opposed to
the system of allowing slaves 10 hire Their
own time. @
lie recommends the passage OF stringent
law to prevent the sale of goods by sample or
otherwise by agents of Northern houses
He is in faysr of retaliating the hostility OF
the North by q system of licensing or special
taxation, and iufictng such discrimination on
Northern goods, when exposed for sale with
in the jurisdiction Of that State, rs viii amount
to an absolute prohibition, and thus make the
great commercial city of New Orleans the
largest importing, as she is now the largest
exporting city on the continent.
The Governor disapproves of legislation up
on the subject of our Federal Relations, and
saws that the Harper's Ferry disturbance is q
case in point as significantly indicating the
mode of warfare which the constantly accu.
mulating thousands Of the North propose to
wage upon us.
He recommends that the State Of Louisi-
and be prepared to meet her sister States ol
the South in convention, the complete reor-
ganixation of the militia of the State, and the
passage of a law providing ior the purchase
Of arms and providing armories for the pur-
pose of eqnipping our own men, and the pas
sage of laws encouraging domestic industry
and enterprise Of every description.

The North ard the Southern Trade.


The New York correspondent of the Char
lesion Mercury, in his letter Of January 8,
writes as below. There can be no doubt that
Northern tradcsmen are beginning to feel the
sions upon the South. But it is very much
to be feared that the South will be bat too
easily gullcd by the arts to which recourse is
had by the former, and which are described
in the suhjoined paragraphs. Like mischiev-
Gus urchins who make a loud noise to mode
rate the chastisement inflicted by the hand of
their teacher. these artful tradesmen will
doubtless make complaints of suffering, cut Of

to recover lost Southern trade. On. bnsiness

The Tragical Affair al vioksOurg.

We have copied below from the Vicksbrrg
Wing the following details of the laInentatlc
affair in that city which resulted in the death
Of w. D. Roy, Esq.
rs tribute fom the pen Of one political
opponent to another, the account is creditablo
alike to the head and the heart of its author:
From tie KeEsbuyy Brhiq.
DEATH OF Col. w. d. RoY.-It is our
painful duty this morning to announce the
death OF our senior contemporary of the Vicks-
burg Southern Sun, Coz. W. d. Roy, which
occurred on our streets yesterday morning, at
the hands of Mr. d. ]. Sheppard. 1t appear
cd from the testimony at the Coroner's in
yestigation, that as Col, Roy was crossing the
street between Mr.. Iillman's and Aiessrs.
hardaway & Whites, Mr. Sheppard stepped
up and Deliberately shot him, tile ball lodging
in the left breast, just above the heart. Col
10y drew. his pistol, but was unable TO use it:
before he could cock it he fell and Immediate
ly expired The Tistol was found by his side
swidhont cap being seafTsd Cre IrrTSI dis
charged. Mr.. Sheppard gave himself up, and
was lodged in Jail. !
Col. Roy was about thirty-fye years Of age,
and native OF Scotland, but for nearly all his
life resident of Mississippi, having been
brought here when quite young. lie has
been widely known as q newspaper publisher
and editor, in various portions of the State
The Sun was first started, VIC believe, by him
in kosciusko, Attala county; was afterwards
removed to Yazoo City, and thence to this
city. 1t has been located here for nearly three
years. Col. Roy is known By reputation
throughout the State, as political editor Of
ability and influence, though considered BY
some Of his friends as indiscreet and reckless.
During our association with him as city CO.
temporaries, we haze always found him open
hearted, amiable and obiigirg. In short, We
were personal friends, and time alone can OBJ
literate the recollection OF courtesics which
can be appreciated b. none save members of
the craft.
When citizen OF Attala, Col. Roy repre-
sented that comfy in the Mississippi Legsla-
ture. Since his residence here he has been
known as an active Democratic leader, and was
the candidate Of his party for the State SEN
ate at the last election. Last blarch he was
elected member of the Common Council of
the city of Vicl1sburg, which position he held
at the time OF his death. lie also held the Of
flee of Collector of Customs for the port Of
'ichsoaTE' 10 WHICH position nc was appoint
ed by President Buchanan. HIe leaves a
Young wife and two small children to mourn
the loss of husband and father.
OF the circumstances attending this sad az
fair tine public are probably well aware. 1t
was mere personal affair, growing out CT
financial matters connected with the Sun of
flee, Of which Mr. Sheppard had formerly
been book-keeper and cashier. Tie matter
will undergo investigation, and Until then yye
forbear further comment.

The Voice Of the People.

| In our columns this morning will be found
the proceedings of, alarge and spontaneous
meeting of citizens of Chickasaw county
| The spirit and tenor Of the resoluticns-the
strong array of names with which they are
connected-and the remarkable unanimity
that maj lsed their adoption, invest this demon
stration with more than ordinary importance.
1t shows that the people have become arous-
ed to the real condition of affairs--to the per-
lis which abolition agitation has brought upon
the Southland to the necessity of prompt
and efficient action for the preservation of the
rights and liberties which she cherishes. The
demonstration is no sudden fermentation of
the public mind, but it owes its existence to
the workings Of calm and sober reason. 1t is
the unrestrained utterance OF a sentiment
which peryades the Whole State, and which is
as deep and resistless as the current of the
mighty stream which courses along her west
ern borders.
In the proceedings of this meeting the Leg
islature win find everything to encouraged it in
the steps for State resistance to Black Repub-
lican dsspotism, initiated at the commence
ment Of the session. The people are in favor
Of preparing for the emergencies which those
measures contemplate. They are in favor of
an effective system of military organization.
They are in favor of the appropriation to pur-
chase arms to defend the assailed sovereignty
of the State. They are in favor of dissolving
the Union in the event of the election of a
Black Republican to the Presidency. They
are in favor Of meeting in Convention theoth-
er Southern States, and the union in south
ern confederacy of those that are not willing
to trust their destinies to the keeping Of the
fanatieal and depraved sectional majority
which essays war of determination upon
them under the sanctions Of law higher than
the Constitution.
Sustained by popular sentiment as unmls-
taxable as we feel it to be just and patriotic,
We cannot doubt for moment that the Leg
islature will perform its whole duty with
aIacrity. We have no hesitation in saying
that hesitating policy, milk-and- water,
compromising course, will fall below the STAN
dard Of public expectation and secure for its
authors verdict of popular condemnatiop.-
Let the voice Of patriotism as it comes swell
ing up from the hearts of the honest and fear
less masses be heard and needed
