Thosew from the violent speeches of South.
ern and Northern Democratic Members Of Con-
greas, make up their minds with fear aud trern-
bling that the whole South Is In favor Of dis
union, and about to madly and recklessly rush
into it, are very much mistaken. There are
still sensible people 1t the South, aud when We
meet with the expressions Of their feelings, VIC
rejoice to note aud reproduce Them. We hare
4 little budget Of such expressions now. First
comes the New Orleans Be, which says:
We need hardly say that deeply as we should
regret the election Of q Black Republican Presi.-
dent, we should be Eery far from regarding
such IN events as pleafor dissolving the Union.
While We nara Constitution aud laws, we Of
tue South, equally with the North, are boundt to
: -acgueaca. ia The choica Of Chief Magistrate,
legally and constitusiooally effected. As well
might the NORTH Invoke disunion as ,he solo
remedy left in case Henry A. Wise, or auy other
alaveholder,' should! bet elected President.
Whomsoeyer tLe people nay elevate to the high-
est Office in their gft, tha South should respfct.
until either through bis own action, Or that Of
4 hostile Congress-, some law should be passed
plainly and palpabty a. usr With the guarantees
Of the Constitution and theRghts and Liberties
ofthe slarehoiding States. I.
The Savannah R<pu5liean thus strongly re-
Dukes The ca]l for Southern Convention:
-0nr noble band Of sisters, Ill embark ed in ons
common bottou,, need not be taught their duty
BY set Of gassy, f1e eating politicians. such rs
are likely to constitute the staple OF Southern
Convention IL there tho most remote ,proba-
bility Of another abolition raid into q Southern
State, after the terrible lesson that has been
taught the transgressors7 We think there ID
not, and that the present agitation for South
etn Convention is either senseiess cry from
tinid, panic-stricken, would-be leaders Of the
people, or well. planned scheme for IN Interior
purpose which it il not prudent now to arrow.
If the former, We regard it Is wild, visionary
and supsemely ridiculous.
The Baltimore R1triot rouches for the loyalty
Of Maryland to the Union thus:
The declarations Of Mr. Crawford. Of Geor-
gia, yesterday. have no terrors for Maryland
Let who may bs elected President in 1861, &C.
cordiug to the forma prescribed by tie laws Of
the country, she for one will submit to the elec.
ton aud stand By the Union, even though the
Congressional delegation from Georgia, as
graveiy announced by Mr: Crawford, shall seek
dent. Nay, even though every State in the
Union, North, South, East. aud West, shall re-
pudiaie the election, Maryland will insist on
obet.ence to the Federal Government, and rally
to tho flag Of the Union.
a correspondent Of the National Infttliq<nc<r,
himself Shareholder, thus sums up the profit
and lossof disuuion:
Yet for all this I an utterly unable to see
that VIC of tho South will at all better ourselves
By "rehoanc.ug altogether" our connection
with the North. Shall ne be removed hairs
breadth further from the North Shall we cease
to hear the rawlings Of madmen, or the delusions
| ers, hare better claim upon the conservative
element still existing at the North than We now
hare as members anu nfsthrcn ofthe came con-
federacy? Every one Of these laterrogatories
must be answered in the negative. Whai, then
do ,7e gain Why, directly in the teeth Of The
true but expressive and comprehensive
sentiment recently attributed in your col
umns to the famous Talleyrand. namely, "!lap-
| py is tho nation without frontiers" We gain IN
