What is the Remedy Of the Submission Party


Can any body tell +! What do the submission party
propose ! Can any guess We will try our
hand at guessing-remember we only guess, and sure
ly there is no harm in that.
Well, we guess that the Submission party will ac-
quiesce in series ofmeasures they pronounce unjust
We guess that they will declare that they will break
up this "Gorious Unon, if the North repeats or mod
iies the fugitive slave law. We guess that they will
declare that they will break up this "Glorious Union
because the Northern people exercise constitutional
right in modifying repeating law. We guess
that this submission party will declare Foote voted all
right that he did not dsobey instructions and that he
is true Union man-and yet, while they declare that
they dspeased with the adjustment they will still
honor the glorious little instrument that aided in doing
the injustice to the South.
How can those who dsapproyed Of Foote'S
whole consent to sulty themselves by endors-
ing it now i! For instance Capt BarksdaIe has said
that he Disapproved' of Foote'S course, and we ask
how can he approve of FoOte! Foote has not
changed SO far know on the subject of SUBJ
mission, it will be necessary for the Captain to
change, if he has not already done So in order
dorse Foote. How very ridiculous this makes ap-
pear IfFoote was wrong for voting for the adjust
ment measures, he is still wrong. If Featherston,
Davis and the rest of the delegation right in OPP
posing those measures they still right, and every
man who approves their dsapproves of Foote'S
Nosophsty can free them of the charge of playing
part in avery stupid farce unless they admit that they
were then wrong. But ifwrong then, how are they
right now !! The measures have not changed and if
they were wrong then in denouncing them, let them
say it, and not like ounces prove to the world that
they act without or sense We shall prepare
chapter on this subject soon, and show the probable
remedy of Submssionism.
