THE SOUTHERN RIGHTS AID
DRESS.

80 DRESS.
The "Flag Of the Union" indulgss in
.png criticism upon the Address Of the Soulh
ern Rights Association of,his county. The
Flag asks, 'In the event Of these additional
guarantees" (asksd BY lho Asssciation)
being denied, how. and by whom is disunion
10 bo brought aboutl' By reference to the
columns ofthe Flag, twill be ssen that the
following platform. put forth by the submit.
,ion party Of Mississippi, is kept standing
at the head Of ils columns:
Resolved, That, whilst we acquesce in
the late enaclments Of the late session ol
Congress, and feel strong attachment and
vene ration for tho Union established by our
loreiathers, still we declare that violations OF
our rights may occur which would amount
10 ''intolorab!e oppression, and would justify
q resort 10 measures II resislance-among
which are the following:
/, The Interference by Congressional
IpgiSlalOn with the institution Of slavery in
the States
}, Interference in the trade in slaves be-
tween The States.
3, The abolition by Congress Of slavery
in the District Of Columbia.
4. The refusal by Congress TO admit
new State into the Union the ground Of
her lOIerating slavery within her limits.
5lh, The passage of any law by Com
RrsSS prohibiting slavery in any Of :hO Tel
litories,
6, The repeal Of the Fugitive Slave Law,
or the refusal by the General Government
to enforce the constitutional provision for the
reclamation Of Fugitive slaves. But that
We are now and at all times opposed to any
agilatiOns, by conventions or otherwise, o.
these questions, reServing the mode and
measure of redress until the injury shall be
inflicted.
Now the guarantees we demand, are tha'
these 'inlOlerablo expressions" which
"would justify aresOrt to measures Of resis>
ahce," .hal mol "occur." The conclusion
ls as c ear as that two aud two make tu.,

repeal Of the Fugitive slave law or the refu-
sal Of the general government to enforce IL
-'disuniOn will stalk abroad in the land"
The submIssiOnists, or UhiOn men par excel
ence, bya "rssoft 70 measures of resist
anee. must inevitably occasion dissolution
nf the Union; unless, aswe are more than
half inclined to believe, their "measures Of
resistance" will consis; in marching up
the bill, and very bravelY marching down
again." t.shers are. not so uncharitahle as
we are, the SCUM rights association of his
county, is nOt-and they really are credu,
