The late manifesto of X. Barnwall Rhett
has mach more in il than what appears upon
it's face. 1t is a'precursor OF series of dis
union experiments which will now be rapidly
/ unfUlded here, and at others points as the
/ plot thickens. The latest experiment DELHI.
Grated upon is Il coup d'etat for the control
+ of Mr.. Buchannn's administration or the de-
feat of his election; and Of Jefferson Davis
is not the master spirit of this notable
scheme, he may be expected to profit BY il to
/ the full extent Of his powers.
4 On the first Wednesday in December, the
4 Presidential Electors elected are to meet in
/ the various States to east their votes for
4 President. In the interval of il is proposed
/ TO bring Mr.. Buchanan, by letter, up to the
mark OF the Southern nuillfers, or to COM
4 pass his defeat by giving sufficient number
I OF the democratic electoral votes of the
South to other candidates to throw the cleo
ton into the House. The nullifers have
their fears OF the Northern Democrats elect
ed 10 the next Congress IN behalf OF Kansas
as Free State; and from recent disclosures
/ from Lancaster, they also nave their fears of
Mr.. Buchanan himself. Hence this desper-
! ate plan Of bringing Mr.. Buchanan 10 the
mark, or Of defeating his election. The
answer from Mr.. Buchanan they do NOT de.
sire it. Their object is disunion and the
spoils of Southern confederaey. They
know that, in the betrayal of the people, by
I throwing the election into the House they
may create an excitement which will result
in the abrupt dissolution of Congress, the
suspension of the government, the secession
