The daily true Democrat., 1861-03-14

metal of which some of the opposition po- liticians are composed, their misrepresen- tations and fabrications are astonishing to men of honesty and decency.
 Our citizens were told that in South Carolina, if man had less than ten negroes he could not vote; if ten he has eleven; If hundred, hundred and one votes, one for each negro and one for himself. That the negro tax was $16 per head, and that poor man had to pay $40 just for permission to live there. That Mississippi's taxes were twenty-two times greater than before. That Jeff. Davis was President toreuer; that we would never get to vote for another; that monarchy would soon be established in the South, and only man that owned negroes allowed to vote for anything; that poor men would be taxed to death, and that rich ones, although having to pay $4O,Ooo forced contributions, would speculate upon the poorer, and were told yesterday by one cockeyed orator of the opposition, that no man or set of men can transfer his allegl- ance from the United States government, (meaning 1 suppose the foul, filthy aboli- tion administration to another, that, that act can only be done by "each individual signing away his allegiance under his own sign manual"
 This man, who has been denounced by his own party as hair-brain, fit for straight jacket, who himself said he could only see one side of question, who has declared that he would not go under Jeff. Davis, but is willing, wishes and strives to stay under Lincoln, who stated immediate ly after reading Lincoln's address that q contained straigM out coercion, yet leads a few honest, but ignorant men by the nose. He said it contained coercion, yet when it was inquiringly asserted in his presence, that, that doctrine was not contained in 1t did not dare to announce the same there for fear of loosing his position with them, or being convicted of falsehood on the other hand.
 What think you of another, who upon the reading of the message, said they were ready to meet black republicans and seces- sionists How? In what manner? The glorious old democratic party, which up to this time has successfully battled against the aggressions of the North, but now in all the hopelessness of despair intends to as- sert her rights upon her own soil, even if need be by the the aid of the God of battles, is now told that we, the opposition, sthe combinations of odds and ends, the frag- ment of all parties that we can baffle the schemes of the northern enemies and con trol the will and wish of the southern peo- people Iris the variest nonsense.
 But the greatest traitorism is, that of those who say they will raise the standard of rebellion, and if Missouri does not secede and this State does, that they will join to her, unless the ordinance is submitted, and they the great mighty Ioms can take a "pass" at it, so anxious are they to get under black republican rule. None but traitors to the southern feeling, interest and country, can and will do this. must confess that I don't believe a word of it. 1 don't think from my personal knowledge of the men who have uttered those senti- ments, that they would even attempt it, I am with them like they are about Lin coin and coercion.
 It is rumored that R. w. Mecklin, t- tied Hon. by courtesy, as also Cockeye, has said it. The former, although 1 learn, pledged to come home from the General Assembly and go for convention, and here stating to some, that he was such, did, I am told by an individual, tell him, if no more, to vote no convention. Such are our politicians, such compose the true town clique that are leading the masses by the nose.
 In haste, c.
