The Disnmiom Feeling a, the south.

We do not believe that the RuErrs, the BARN
WELLS, and the prominent disunionsts Of the
South, ART either more numerous or influential
than the GARRIsoss, PHIILIPsEs, and other III
traists Of the North. A great ado has been
made over Mr.. RBErrs letter to the Governor
Of South Carolina, in favor OF an inmcdia,e
dissolution, but yet We have not seen liz senti-
ments approved by any other journals than a
very few OF the extreme South Carolina school.
! Mr., BUCHANAN, we believe in his official ca
reer, will be actuated and governed by General
JAcKsoS's expressive sentiment Of 1.-The Union:
il must be preserved" and the Southern null
iers will receive from him. neither countenance
or support, but on the contrary. bitter and CT
iective opposition. The President elect has
ever considered the preservation of the Union
paramount TO all considerations He is mod
crate in his political views and the impression
seems general, that he will surround himself
by Cabinet Of conservative men, selected
from all sections OF the country, and entertain
political views similar to his own. With the
IiusrERs and the CoBBs of the South in the
Cabinet and the DicKISsoSs, ALIENS. aud
BsIcnrs Of the North, Mr.. Rusrr may rail on
for years, without accomplishing any thing else
than convincing people, North and South, OF
his own insanity.
These Southern IIotspurs have less excuse
row than they have ever had, for their wild
and foolish scheme OF dissolution. The rights
of the States under the Constitution, are be-
coming well understood ut the North. and the
recent election, in settling the slavery question
upon the principle of the Kansas Nebraska
| bill, and thereby removing the vexatious sub
ject from the halls of Congress, and placing it
with the people, has done more to bind and cc.
ment the Union, than oil the compromises that
have been patched up for fifty years past. The
Northern Democracy, during the recent cam
paign, fought the battle OF the South aud
struggled successfully, to secure that portion OF
the coniederacy its just rights. II is provok-
ing. therefore, that our rejoicincs at the signal
victory We have achieved, should be disturbed
by the croakngs of nulllders and traitors.
| We are glad to see that even in South Caro-
| lima, Mr.. RRsrr, and his associates, bave ri.
