If il be desirable to triumph over our
adversaries, and preserve the Union

READY TO ABANDON 1T, it is GER
iainly important TO give the candidate of
our party the frank and hearty support
of all the Southern States, and none can
take The lead with more propriety Than
themselves.
But upon the policy of dissolving the
Union, Of separating TIE South from her
Northern enemies, and establishing a
Southern confederacy, parties, presses,
politicians and people, are a unit

GRESS, WHO IS NOT PLEDGED TO

ON. We have had enough Of the glo-
rious Union. The association. on our
part, has long been dishonorable; nov
what with genleel scoundrelism, exhib
tied in fashionable bankruptcies, foreign
and free negro riots, open and professed
infdelity, &c., the connection has be-
come actually disreputable. A thor
oughly organized disunion party is the
dcsideraium, and until such be formed
at the South. all time devoted to polili
cal discussion will be time wasted.
Senator A. G Brown. of Mississippi.
said recently in the Senate
If you fancy that our devotion to the
Union will keep US in the Union, you are
mistaken.
We tell You candidly, we have calcu
lfted the value OF the Union.
The Charleston MercUry, the leading
organ Of the South Carolina Democracy,
thus urges the peculiar champions of
S, uthern rights in Congress to stick by
the interest Of slavery at all hazards:
We hope that our seulinels in Wash

coming night. and with spirit kndlng

to the onset. Let Tie government perish,

While the Pro slavery Democratic pa
pers of the North, are charging the Re
publicans with being disunionists, and
chanting praises of the glorions UEion-
the pro slavery papers of the South are
singing quite another tune. The Geor-
gia Constitutionalia. Buchanan paper.
of Sept. 22d, has the following:
THE POLICY OF THE SOUTH IN
THE EVENT OF FREM0NT'S
ELECTION.
If Fremont should be elected Presi
dent, the union Of the States, in our
opinion, would not, and should not, long
survive the event. This we believe 10
be the prevalent and daily strengthen
ing conviction Of the southern people
The most iuveterale Union men of the
South would become convinced, if they
are not already, that, after such tri-
umph of the spirit Of hostility to the
South, which such a sectional vote would
indicate, there could be no honor, peace
or safety. for the South, in conlinu-
ance of the Union.
Even il the South were wiling, for the
sake of peace and quiet, tamely and dis
gracefully 10 submit 10 the yoke, she
would not be allowed 10 lie down quiet
ly u der degradation. The agitation Of
the slavery question would still be kept
up by her enemies. New aggressiOns
and new humilialions would be planned
and carried out; and her very submis-
siyeness, instead of propitiating the Alb
olitionists, would wbet their appetites for
further outrage. But we dismiss, as a.
grosslibel to our section, the very thought
that majority, or e' en- any respectable
number of the southern people, would
advocate a continuance of the Union, in
case Fremont should be elected.
Ii may not be amiss TO look the worst
possible contingencies in the face. 1t at
least is the part of prs lence to co unset
together, and be prepared to answer,
what shall we do in case Of Fremonts
election ? We cannot begin TOO soon
rto set our house in order for the gieat
and tremendous change which such re
suit would bring upon the country. We
look upon dissolution OF the Union on
account OF this slavery question as inev-
liable, sooner or later.
1t is the only question Of time when it
