The Yazoo Democrat. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1858-18??, 1860-01-21

We sSiced in our last issue an article Of the
Vicksburg Wing upon ''Tbe Union and Slavery"
and attempted to show the consequences that
would flow from such doctrines as were therein
set forth. In reply, the Wing says we misrepre-
scented his positions If we did so, we certainly
did not intend it. We have great respect for
that old and well established paper. We say in
all candor that there is no paper in the State that
shows more enterprise in catering to the taste
of its patrons, and that will do more to furnish
the public with the current events of, the day,
than the Vicksburg Wing But while we say
this, candor compels US also to say that so far as
the political opinions enunciated in its columns
are concerned, they meet with the unqualified
disapprobation Of great majority of what is
called the "Opposition party" Il in political
discussion with an Opposition man one should
quote what the Vicksburg Wing says, the reply is,
instanter ave don't hold ourselves responsible
for that papers political doctrines it does not
represent our sentiments. 1t is true we patronize
the paper because it fun nishes the freshest news
and keeps us posted up on current events, but we
are not in anywise responsible for the political
sentiments expressed by it," Thus has the
opinions promuga ed by that paper been over
and often Indignantly repulated Andy would
ask, what Southern born man that has warm
and brave heart beating in his bosom would not
repadiate the idea that we are dependent on the
grace and mercy Of the North for our very exist
ence? The Wing seems to think we should de.
pend on the North for protection under the con-
stitution. Yes, they would give US " such pro-
lection rs the vultures give to lambs, covering
and devOuring them" The true Southern man
would prefer to depend upon his own good right
arm and brave heart for protection, than to come
with Bonded knee in suppliant tones to plead with
the united North" for our constitutional rights.
better example has been left us by our fathers.
England was a great and powerful government,
and when it encroached upon the rights of the
colonies they 6rst petitioned, then demonstrated,
and finally drew the sword and threw the scab-
bard away, and bravely fought for and won the
liberties Of the country, and we would be de
graded sons of worthy sires if we would not be
willing to do..the same. The Wing publishes to
the world, 4" Dissolve the American Union, and
destroy the Union of the States, and the death
encouraging to the fanatical disunionist of the
North for the death -knell Of slavery is what they
want to sound, and that quickly. We have some
hopes of the Editor of the Wing, and think he
may possibly be like many in our revolutionary
struggle. who counselled against brave and
manly course, but when the struggle for "ife,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness come on,
were found on the right side.
ORGANIZATION OF THE HoUsE.-No Speaker
elected yet. and the probability of an Orgnniza-
ton of the House is as remote as ever Nearly
two months have been spent in the fruitless con
test. The Democrats are firm in their resistance
Of the election of Sherman. We hope they will
hold out as faithful to the last. The organiza-
ton of the House is not worth the sacrifice or
compromise of n single principle of Southern
rights and Southern honor, and rather than this
should occur, we would prefer that the Seth
Congress should expire by limitation of law, with
out being organized
From the Washington correspondence of the
New Orleans Picayune, we take the following
statement Of the present aspect of affairs in the
House
The hopes that we should obtain an organiza-
ton this week are much impaired by to-days de-
veOpments The House, after three ballots,
were discouraged, and adjourned at an early
hour.
The Republicans do not, they say, care straw
whether there be an organization or not. They
leave that to the responsibility of the Admins
traton ard its friends The Democrats will not
consider themselves responsible for the delay Of
business because they are in a minority. The
Southern OppositiOnists come here irritated by
conflict with the Administration in the canvass,
and will not 90 for an Administration Demo rat
though their sectional interest will prevent them
from supporting Republican.
The House must be extricated from its diff
Guilty, but how OF when it is to be done cannotnow
be fUreseen.
