WHAT SoCTHERNER WILL TAKE OFFICE
USDEH LINCOLN MIR. Bells most vigorous
supporter, the Louisville Journal, insists that
if Lincoln be elected "native Kentuckians, and
native TenneSseeans, and native Mississippiaps
and native citizens of all the other Southern
States will readily take Office. Whereupon
the Montgomery Mail says;
We copy the above from an exchange mere
ly to renew our protest against the practice
some Southern men have entered into, Of adj
vising Lincoln before his election of the well
come and support his administration is to re-
ceiye at the hands of the sons of the South
If the editor of the Journal and any of his.
partisans-for whom, Of course, he is supposed
10 speak-have determined to help Lincoln
administer the Government in case of his
election, they ought not, as Southern men, to
say SO before the election for such Senti.
ments only give encouragement TO the Abo-
ltionists to go on and elect the destroyer of
the South. But we forget although the
editor of the Journal resides in Kentucky, he
is not Southern man, and we fear, would
never be Southern man in feeling, if he could
reside in Southern State thousand years.
But 1t is the South's misfortune to be cursed
with just such suckers of her best life-blood
as the editor Of the Louisville Journal. Such
men are out-and-out Lincoln men, if they re-
side in State were the Black Republican
party is popular.

More of the IrrepressibIe Conflict

While Mr.. Seward, in the West, is insist.
| ing upon entire, unconditional abolition as the
destiny to which the country will be conduct.
cd under Abolition Republican rule, the
! Spooner branch of the amiable family in the
East is contending that, from the outset the
pretence of confning the slavery issue to the
territories must be abandoned In pamph-
let exposition of Lincolns doctrine that this
Union cannot endure half slave, half Free" the
Massachusetts logcians declare that the real
question is:
Not whether slavery shall be carried from
the States into the Territories, but whether
anywhere, within the limits fthe Union, one
man shall be the property of another p
Whether, Il man, who is confessedly to be
held as property, shall be held in one place
rather than in another in a State rather
than in a Territory?'
Mr.. Andrews, the Abolition Republican
candidate for Governor in Massachusetts, in
one OF his lete speeches. has also declared that
the decisions of the supreme court of the Uni
ted States are not binding; and substantially
claimed that that portion Of the Federal COM
pact which relates to the organization and
functions of the Judiciary ought to be stricken
out and expunged from the Constitution as an
unwarFantable interference with popular
rights.
These are few the doctrines enunciated
by the Abolition Republican leaders. Let
the people consider these things we'll and
cast their votes against the party whose prom
iDent men are in favor Of depriving the South
Of the rights guaranteed them by the consti-
tuition.

raj address in reference to our South
ern brethren, is too strong even for
the stomach Of our Northern Abolition
cotemporary, the Commercial
That print, in review Of the mes

"But 1t occurs to us that the tone of
some paragraphs toward the conclu.
sion Of the address, in respect to the
designs of the South and those Of the
North, is not such as il every respect
becomes the Governor of Ohio. 1t is
apparent, indeed, that the imagina.
tion Of Governor Dennison has been
active, and his feelings as It partisan
aroused, during the production Of
those paragraphs. They would read
better as leader in the Ohio State
Journal, Or some other partisan print

The Inauguration of Governor
Dennison takes place to-day. The
republicans have fixed up Iormida-
bic programme for the occasion. is
in strong contrast with the simple cere.
monies customary upon inauguration
by the early fathers vf tho State and
the Republic. The salvos Of artilc-
ry, the attendance of troops and the
long list Of tormalitles seem more aP-
proprate TO tie crowning Of a mon
arch than the induction to office of the
Governor of u free people. 1t is the
first time in the history of Ohio that
such hunkeyism has been displayed
upon a Ike occasion. ..
P.S The Inauguration Of Gov.
Dennison has been concluded, in the
rotunda ofthe Capitol, amidst the "as-
sembled wisdom" gallantry and beau,
ty OF Columbus. The inaugural ad-
dress occupied an hour in its delivery,
fully one-half of it being devoted to
the gentlemen from Africa" 1t is
scarcely necessary to say that this part
of it was quite beneath anything that
should emanate from the Chief Execu-
tive of this great State. Indeed, such
was its "buncombe" character, and so
lame and impracticable its positions
and ideas, that the moderate, cOnselv-
ative portion of his party are disgust
ed with it. 1t will prove, however,
that DenDison, though good declaim-
er from the stump, is by no means II
statesman. Very little ofhis address
is devoted to State affairs, and one un-
acquainted with his position would
have been puzzled to know whether
he was being iuaugurated President OF
the United States or Governor of Ohio,
SO lengthy did he speak of matters
pertaining exclusively to the general
government.
The rush and crush of fcrinollne was
Immense well drilled militia

On Friday last the Oak City Guards paraded to

They were joined by the Pney Woods Cavalry,

The banner was presented by Scaton Gales Esq,
in an exceedingly appropriate and touching address.
Capt High responded in his best manner on behalf
Of the Company. Soon afterwards the two Compa-
mics, with some friends, partook of an excellent
dinner prepared by Mr.. Pullen, of the Planters

be present. but we learn that the time passed pleas
antly with toasts jokes and speeches. In the Ian

our hearths and affairs, it will never be lowered by
the gallant body of men commanded by Captain
High.
The Piney Woods Cavalry were looking remarka-

upon them as they moved along our streets. 1t is
70 the interest of our citizens of all classes, as well
as their patriotic duty, to encourage and cherish
these Companies.
