oECESSlON'-I mere are TWO par
Ties in the South, Secessionists and
Submissionists-a party composed of
mon i'll whose loyal hearts the love of
liberty is a stronger and warmer feel
ing than love for their Northern
brethren, and who are therefore de
termmed to defend and maintain the
best of those rights which God was
good enough to give to their fathers;
and party who esteem more highly
what they are pleased to call "the
recollecticns of the past" than they
do the independence of the present,
or the hopes of the future, and who
are therefore prepared meekly 10
submit to any bmthens which their
Northern brethren," in the fulness
wisdom and in the plentitude ofpow-
er, may see fit TO impose. TO the
first of these rites belong the great
mass of our Southern people, to the
latter O. small minority, but, small as
is this party, it has lis divisions, being
sub-divided into two parts, one of
which plainly and frankly acknow-
ledges itself ready for submission,
and the other, while it has grown
hoarse in denouncing Northern aq-
gression, denounces at the same time
the very thought of disunion, having
found, it would seem, other means of
redress. These men complain bitter
ly when they are called submission
lists, indeed they denounce the sub
misslomsts III more unmitigated terms
than do the seceders or disunionists
themselves, and having given to their
little squad the more uphonous SUD-
'1quet of ''ConServatiue," name for
which, by the by, we never had any
particular liking, since it was the ia
vorite of British tories, claim, poor
infatuated creatures, to be the living
and breathing embodiment of all and
singular the moderation and wisdom
and patriotism of the South.
These men we call and believe to
be at heart submissionists, and sub
inissionists loo of the very worst and
most dangerous class, because they
may impose upon week but well
meaning people; we believe them to
be at heart submissionists because
the schemes of redress which they
urge are absolutely so absurd and so
utterly impracticable that ITO sane
man could possibly advocate them
earnestly and without a disposition
TO deceive.
The first and most prominent meas
ure of redress these patriots advo-
cate 1--WE have heard others miste-
ously spoken of but not definitely is
what they call "non-intercourse."
NO more, according TO these dream
ers OF dreams more strangely CHM
sercal than any which ever foated
through the brain of the wandering
master of Rosenante, is there to be
any intercourse either for profit or
pleasure between the South and the
North. Our fashionable mothers are
to parade their daughters no more on
the Northern marts matrimonial; the
bellies OF the South are to dance and
slmper away the season at Saratoga
no more, and no more are their
charms to turn the head or pierce
the heart of any Yankee exquisite,
and even the good women who love
their husbands and stay at home are
10 adorn their comely persons in
Northern calico no more, for no more
are our merchants to he seen in Phil
adelphia or New York or Boston
bartering for Northern manufactures.
All social intercourse between the
two sections is forever to be cut of.
ilhe loomes of Lowell and Patterson
are TO stop because our Southern
planters are not going to sell their
cotton to'Yankeos any more. The
wheat and petatoe-felds of Illinois
and Indiana are TO become waste
places in the earth, and there is to be
"a very hog jubilee in Ohio because
