(Column 3)

Excerpt: "The Jackson Mississippian, an intense Southern fire-eating journal, which is anxious the South should go out of the Union, recently put the query to the Memphis (Tenn) Enquirer, whether it was not in favor of Southern secession from the Union if a Republican should be elected President in 1860. The Enquirer responds 'that it subscribes to no such doctrines' as resisting the inauguration of a President constitutionally elected, and that it will resist it to the utmost, and it adds that until the Southern people are struck with judicial blindness, it can never take a deep hold upon the public mind. It assures the Mississippian that it and its friends will have a sharp time before they are able to dissolve the Union."
