Waking up The Wrong Passenger.

Submissionism must be hard run in Wilkin-
son county. In consistency with the general
policy OF the party, throughout the State, Of
holding out such poor honors as they have TO
bestow, and the dim prospect OF better ones, ii
seems that the @Union Association in that
county elected Messrs. Walter Shropshire and
n. Carter, wh0 neuer dreamed Of being Sub
missionisis, 10 office in that august body. Each
has declined the honor OF serving and in do.
ing 30, gives in the Republican, Submissionism
divers hard raps.-MississiPpian.
There il nothing more true, than that Sub
missionism is hard run in Wilkinson county"
The last great meeting they had here, was on
the 22d Of February, and was composed of
probably a dozen Of the faithful, who had
been drummed up, after much labor, by fam.
ing handbills, headed " Union Meeting and
the most eloquent appeals, to attend on the
birthdas of the Father of his Country. Tho
meeting proceeded to the appointment of Off.
GERS, and three of those upon whom office was
conferred, declined the honor of serving. The
humbugs OF " Union" and birthday" do not
take in this region. Our people entertain the
warmest affection for the Union, and the mem.
ory Of the Father Of his country but they do
not seem TO think that they can show rever-
ence to one or the other by participating in Il
meeting, the avowed object of which was to
adopt and defend the unjust and oppressive
policy of the Federal Government. The great
and good Washington fought not for the Union
only: he bravcd the battle tempest for the
establishment Of a Republican Government
upon a constitution guaranteeing equal rights
and privileges to all. The result of that Con
s~titution was the Union and the duty now
dcvolves upon all true admirers of Washing
ton TO sustain that Constitution. We feel con
fident in asserting that the people in old VIII
kinson will faithfully discharge this duty, SC
far as they are concerned.

to notice and observe, the customs and hab-
