from Mr.. J. D. WILLIAMS, OF the Southern Re
puBlie, a newspaper published at Columbus,
Miss. The Republic is published daily and
weekly, and the object Of Mr.. WILLIAMS visit
to Memphis is to make the acquaintance Of
our merchants and business men generally,
who have a disposition to cultivate the trade
which is coming to this city from the section
Of country bordering on the Mobile and Ohis
railroad. His paper affords an excellent medi-
i'm for advertising, and we commend it to all
who may desire to avail themselves Of the ad-
vantages Of its columns.
z The Union press Of the border slave
States are In one respect acting a very disin-
genuous part. They are seeking to impress
the popular mind with the erroneous idea that a
pertensciou "a st~abbornness in resisting secession
will bring back the seeded States into their
former alliance with the LIScoLS republic.
The Unionists have doubtless been seduced
into this belief, more because the "wish is
father to the thought " than owing to the ex-
istsDce OF facts that 20 to corroborate its truth.
They well know that no compromise Of what
ever character will now induce the brave men
OF The South to relinquish the white mans gov
ernment which they have reared for the pur-
pose Of taking refuge in a mongrsl free negro
republic frem whose lettering ruins they just
made their escape. The advocates Of "Union'
with Blaek-Re opponents Of
accession" from abolitionism, may as well dis
card this vain dslusion once for all, and cease
their cunning arguments and impotsnt appeals
to popular passion, which are based upon it
From the speech originally made BY HOWELL
CoBR, in taking the chair as President Of the
Southern Compensation the more o~rseulsr
utterance Of JEFFERSON DAVIS, 10 his inaugu-
raj GRAFTON at Montgomery-from the reaction
as svideHeed Ia the sentiments Of men who were
formerly the ardent lovers Of The old Federal
Union, from the opinions Of The southern
press, and the more potent and significant voice
o. the people where they have chosen TO speak,
We draw an array Of "prOof as strong as holy
writ,o which conspirss 10 repsl a thought 60
b~aseless, and a hope 30 wild. The eountry may
as well understand BOW that the Union is per
naneaay dissolved, and no reunion can ever
take place unless it be a Union with The Cen
fedsrats States under the totally unobjsetion-
able and Southern Constitution which they
have constructed. The Union party should be
candid enough to acknowledge this fact If they
can afford to sacrifice 50 much political capital
