Mr. FORSYTH, the late accomplished editor oi
The Mobile Register, seems determined to make hay
while the sun shines. Though a professed disun-
ionist, he seems resolved 10 come in, while the
General Government yet lasts. for his special share
of tie benefits Of it, The election of Fremont, il
"it should unhsppily take place which he seems
to admit to b. very probable, "wilr'-so Mr.. For
syth declares in valcdictory address of his lately
publish ed-"be the great crisis in the history of
the plantation States" If they submit 10 il for
smoment the sceptcr Of power-so says Mr.. For
syth-departs from them forever. Indeed, their
vory existence as Slayeholding States is compro-
missed and emancipation will surely come, sooner
or later. To prevent this terrible catastrophe
for so he regards that which Washington, Henry,
jefferson, Mason, Madison, Monroe. Pinckney,
Marshall, and all the other Southern founders OF
tie republic now in their graves, looked forward
to as a consummation most deyoutly 10 be wished
to prevent this awful catastrophe of ultimate eman-
cipation Mr.. Forsyth shouts to his felOw-South-
erners to rise in rebellion at once, the moment
Fremont is elected. and by instantly dIssolvng the
Union to shield themselves against the dangers of
ultimately becoming Free States.
Now, this work to which Mr.. Forsyth calls his
ccmpatrots is no chd's play. 1t would seem no
more than reasonable that one who summons
other. to march on iorlorn hope, should BE- pre-
pared himself TO march, if not in the van at least
in the rear Of it. But that does not seem 10 be
Mr.. Forsyth's opinion Instead Of staying by
10 take his share of the risk and danger Of
this proposed secession, Mr.. Forsyth starts on
for Mexico on twelve tn ,usald dollar mis-
sion, te be paid him By that very Govern
mt ut which he calls upon others TO rebel against
ard TO overthrow This IS = piece OF thrift which,
on the part Of Yankee might seem quite in keep
ing, but We should think il hardly suitable to the
character Of one Of the chiyalry, had not recent
developments thrown light upon that chvalry,
such as shows that in spite of has Mexican Mis-.
sicu Mr.. Forsyth may claim fairly enough TO
bel nc TO it. He indeed, while stirring up Others
to rebellion and civil war, is still careful of
his own person-to say nothing of his pocket
than Bully Brooks himself The twelve thousa ud
dollars he may perhaps look upon as his individual
share of the contents Of the nted States Treas
ury, lawful plumber robbDg of the Egyptians,
ard Bis method Of getting at i, as sly
dodge much safer and nuch surer than Bully
Brooh.'s proposed scheme Of marching to Wash
incton and grabbing it by force. But it certainly
does lcok little shaky 10 take oneself out of the
country at this critical moment. Our new Minis
ter 10 Mexico does not come up even to the mark
of Bully Brooks. Brooks is 4 " cO0peraticnl't.'
He is ready AZ al times for sn sttsck-prcyided
lie can have a friend or two near by to back him
and arrange il So as to surprise the enemy unarIned
and unaware Of what he intends. Brooks stands
ready TO Join in dissolyiHs the Union whenever he
csn find enough 10 join him 10 relieve tbs euter
prise of all hazard and danger. fors!th does not
come up even TO tba, work. lie goes to Mexico
on a salary Of twelve thousand dollars leaving be-
hid bin his psItins blessing for those who have
the courage to undertake whst Mr.. Forsyth insists
that eyeIy consideration OF patriotism requires
but which he seems much more willing TO have
loue by other people. than himself 10 take any part
in il.
For our part We cannot sppreheni that the
Union is in any great or imminent danger from
either Of these two classes of administrative
Of the Brooks or those Of the Forsyth school those
who propose to take hold of disunon when enough
are ready 10 mske the operation = perfectly safe
one. and those Who prefer that the work should be
done BY other people while they themselves are ali
sent fm the country in the psy Of the United States
We trust however tat Mr.. Forsyth. for whom
We confess certain regard. may find this Me1-
can mission profitable to him. not only in pe,un-
ary but in an intellectual point Of view. lie will
have sn opportunity to see in Mexico much the
sov. Of ns;ion that the Save States would make,
wtre il possible for the d.,uDionst fanatics to carry
