TO TIE Edifor.-Lest You should fail tc
call the attention Of your readers to a mos
singularand important circumstance which
very recently occurred among the Demo
Gratis of the county Of Campbell, to wi
on the 10th day of March, 1851, at Camp
bell Court House, and at Barry Finch y
Tavern, in which the Editor of the Lynch
burg Republican acted a rery conspicuous
part, will beg leave to call the serious
attention of your readers to the aforesaid
occurrence, or circumstance as you may
choose to designate it. The Democratic
party Of, the county aforesaid having as
sembled at the time and place above-mcn-
toned, after due notice through the Repub-
lican, TO take into consideration, as | sup
pose theam/M condition of the South un-
der the late Compromise acts Of Congress,
and more particularly the condition and
prospects Of the Ex. Hon. T. S. Bocock
for reelection to the Congress Of the
United States, and particularly to define
his, and their position in relation to the
aforesaid Compromise measures; adopted
among other vague and indcterminate re-
solutions, one declaring their willingness to
submit to the said Compromised Wen,
wonders it is said, will never cease in this
world. Can it be possible, that the Edi-
tor Of the Lynchburg Republican could
gently sit by, and see a resolution Of its
party adopted, acknowledging submission
to the "Compromise" which II, for twelve
months, pronounced to be the most stupen-
dous fraud, bribery &c. &c, ever practis-
cd upon any people, as that Compromise
was upon the Southl Why this Republican
newspaper, has, ii ! am capable of construc-
ing the English language, Tor the Kings
English) sneered and almost Kissed at every
body who was willing either directly, or
indirectly to submit TO the Compromise, all
of whom were dubbed "submissionists."-
| thank thee, jew, for teaching me that
word, "submissionist" Why one would
have as soon supposed that The sun
would rise in the West and set in the East,
as to suppose that the Editor Of that paper
would have gently acquicsced in the adop-
ton Of any such resolution. II is true
they say they did nal mean to submit with
out some grum5ling, but yet they do, and
viii care in, Compromise or no Compro-
mise, that is the gist Of the scolding. The
subscribers to the .Soutieyn Press, the adj
vocates Of the Southern Press, disurion
paper, declaring submission to a measure
that has robbed the South Of all her rightsl
CAN'T be possible! Wen, Mey say so, and |
will not gainsay their word. But wish
to say to your readers, that all this -four
ish about submitting TO the Compromise,
has all been CANNON from the first. You
may prepare to see them ''suJmit" to more
things than Compromises" Il by doing so
they can elect their men TO Office, and L.
S. Bocock, in this particular case. They
found after feeling, and sounding about,
that this doctrine Of anii-submission, in
other words secession and disuniou) was
not cxactly so popular as they thought it
would lie in this district, therefore it
became necessary for them to take little
Craufshing exercise, thus we see them
travelling leet'e Northward, stern fore
most. Well pow, if the people Of this dis
