The Great Result.

Unless the Telegraph lies as outragcously as thc
Know Nothing papers did before the election, Mr..
buchanan is certainly elected President OF the United
States q most glorious fnality of the late alarming
and in many respects most strange and singular
struggle.
We have certainly carried Pennsylvania, Indiana
and New Jersey over both Fremont and Fillmore
men together We have carried MMe southern Shfcs
with the exception of Maryland, which sccn to have
given way to Black Republicans and Know Nothing
ism. In the city of Baltimore they have succeeded
by mob violence thuggcry and murder. in proserrdg
the ballot box as to over power tn hon"'t country
vote In all the other slave States the Democratic
maoritics are enormous and crushing leaving Only
small faction against us in each. In our own Lou
isiana the battle has been noby won. W. have APP
pcaled to the reason. intelligence and virtue of III,
people and that appeal has been answered in the
spirit of true patriotism and with an honesty and
energy never before witnessed.
OF the forty.cight parishes of the State we have
obtained maoritics in all but about eight or ten and
many Of these majorities range from five hundred to
six hundred. This isa crushing and whitening RI.
bike to the miserable and disgusting attempts OF
Black Republicansn in New Orleans, to defeat ny
mob rule, fraud, violence and murder the will Of I'll,
honest and virtuons citizens of this State We have
more to say upon this subject hereafter
The telegraph leaves ~ It'll in doubt ~ TO the
fate Of New York. the contest in that state. is in fact
in all the free states. being almost entirely between
Mr. Buchanan and Fremont, Fillmore not being
counted in thr race at all. only whore he could b.
used to help out the Black Republicans.
In this great struggle the true men of The two old
national parties Democrat and Wing, have beaten
back and crushed down the black tide Of Abullt on
ism and saved the Union, whilst Southern hnow NJ
thlngism, from masked battery, have been irin.
upon our TANKS and rear. as the guerrilla forces o
Black Republicansm. Such has been the position o
4 the combatan,s; at a more leisure time we shall
carefully review the field Of battle and define the po
stions of the contending forces. Let the people o
the South now open their eyes to the aischoods AT
receptions of Know Nothing organs. by which man!
Of them have been misled from their true interest
and duty in this election.

was 1898, falling Off of 1883. The majority for
Fillmore, il 1926; of this number. II is but fair and
Just deduction that nne-t,nths were democratic

The time Tor action is mar. 1t will he well,
at least to look 10 our school-books. Can the
making OF these be entrusted so exclusively to
those, who by Installing an occasional hercsy,
dangerous to our repose, imagine that they
serve at the same time God and mammon =.
their consciences and their pockets? The
State Legislatures at the South alone are COM
petent to heal this mischief. Property will
submit to any amount of taxation for such
purpose. A system can and ought to be ma
tured at the South by which the most ample
encouragement shall be given to its education
al system and to its press. Withdraw at once
the contributions which are returned too often
to us now in contumely and insult.
Felow-citizens of the South, we may not
realize at once all Of these hopes, but let us
fondly cherish them, believing them to be at.
tainable at no distant day, if we shall act in
concert, moving in the same direction, under
the dictates Of q common interest-necessity
and patrotim.
We invite q large attendance at the Con-
vcntion in Savannah Let every village and
town throughout the South respond promptly
to this appeal in the appointment of delegates
instructed in regard to their wishes and views.
Mayors of cities, Board of Trade and Com
merce, Agricultural Associations, etc, well, it
is believed, appoint according to custom, del
cgations Of tried and approved men, who will
certainly attend, or who will, in the event Of
failure, communicate by reports or otherwise,
full information for the action of the body
upon some or all Of the points indicated.
Can it be necessary to appeal to the pres
OF the South to open its columns to this sub
ject, and to continue its agitation until thu
sitting Of the Convention in December
The city Of Savannah, through its Executive
officer, has notified the Committee of its inten
ton to make every provision for the meeting
of the Convention, to afford the amplest fncili
ties for its business and extend the utmos
