A SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE RESULT or
THE ELECTION.

Richard Yeadon, the editor of one of the
Charleston, S. G. papers, takes the following view
of the late election and its results. In considera-
ton of this Southern triumph, and Northern Dem
ocratic subserviency he declines q concurrence with
Mr.. Rhett's proposition for an immediate dissolu'
ton of the Union, believing, very ~sensibly that
the ambitious and despotic purposes of the slave
holders can be best served by the continued aid.ol
the old and vilanous confederacy.
Mr.. Yeadon says:
In the recent election of President and Vice
President, the South has %triumphed over almost
the entire North-the South, aided by Pennsylva-
MIA, Indiana and New Jersey, has given the Chief
Magistrate, and the second officers in executive
grade, to the republic, for the ensuing Presidential
term. u is emphaticaLy a Southern oictory-,tought
on Southern grounds, and under conservative and
constitutional leaders, against an embattled host,
flying the ominous flag Of Black Republicanism
under the lead of q Southern renegade and traitor.
1t is nevertheless, a constitutional and national,
and not "a sectional triumph, because it establishes
and consecrates the great princi pie, alike national
and fe ieral, Of the constitutional co,equality oil
the States, as well in the territories of the Union
as in the several States themselves. 1t is doubly
grateful and acceptable, as repelling a deliberate
ly intended insult, as we'll as wrong, to the South
in the selection of n Southern renegade.
"False to his friends, false to his State, false to his creed ant
Lord"
to wear the Presidential mantle, and desecrate thu
chair of Washington. Beautiful, as well as hap
py, too, is the coincidence that it has fallen to thu
lot of Pennsylvania, the Keystone State-the key
stone of the Federal arch-to save the Union
from the imminent perils, which so lately beset it
and caused it, with earthquake commotiOn, to rocl
on it's pillars, and sway to and fro on its base.
Instead, therefore, OF uniting with Mr.. Rhett in
sounding the tocsin OF disunion, we should SEIZE
the auspicious occasion to say of the Union-"Esc
Perpetua," and l feel an abiding trust that the ser
pent, when threatened to poison the happiness ant
destroy the existence of our political Eden-oul
blood bought and time-hallowed Union-is not on
ly 'scotched, but killed." and that the Union
planted, or rather consolidated, on the impregna
BILE Rock of the Constitution, will live, while tim'
shall last, to bless America and to bless mankind
Black Republicanism is dead, tho constitutions
equality of the States is re-asserted and perma
nently secured, by the verdict and the edict of tn,
ballot box: the WImot prOctSo is no more; III
Missouri line is o6literated; Kansas is ours tn,
Constitution reigns supreme, and the Union is pre-
served and perpetuated. The united South ha,
spoken, in a voice Of thunder, life to the Constitu
titn and death to its traitorous assailants; and
grown as the South is, from a feeble into q might,
power-mighty in population, territory and wealth
she has but to remain united, and she will, with
out fail, as in the past, so in the future, rule tn,
Union, with a constitutional rule, (fairly won a
the ballot box, and secure the perpetuity, in
consumation of national happiness, greatness anC
glory, unprecedented in history, and dazzling ever
Imagination in the fast approaching reality.
Let US NOT refuse, but freely and cordially give
the right hand of fellowship to the gallant, tht
Spartan band, in the non-slaveholding States, who
have done battle for us at Thermopol@, and shield
ed the Constitution and the Union from wreck and
ruin.
Let, then, all who love the Union, and are new
ertheless faithful to the South, even with a fila
and pious fidelity, join in the grateful and inspir
ing chorus,
"Uuzzahl huszahi Wen all prove true,
To Buck and Breck and the Union, too"
] am, very respectfully, &c,
RICHARD YEADON.
