The Position OF THE GOVERNOR OF LOUIS
IANA-The New Orleans Delta of Wednesday
last contains long letter from Governor
Moore, in reply to note sent him by
number Of prominent citizens, requesting his
opinion as to the proper policy for the South
topursue in the event Of the success of the
Republican party. The letter ofthe Govern
or is an elaborate discussion of the question at
ISSUE but closes with the following direct
reply to the interrogatory:
1t is asked, if Lincoln be elected Presi-
dent, what should the South do? To this l
answer, that do not regard it as wise or pru-
dent to commit myself, either as citizen or
magistrate, to any extreme measure. But
speaking for myself, and for myself alone,
am free to say that the success of Mr.. Lin
coin would justify the Southern States in
Withdrawing from the Union. But do not
advise, or bind myself personally, or officially,
to this particular course. l think the South
ernlStates should meet in conference, as some
means may be devised to save US from the
disunion that all deprecate, and none would
lament more sincerely than myself Although
surrounded by gloom and danger, / am not
without hope that we shall yet weather the
storm.

fundamental maxims is not to despair o. the

hopefully, in the belief that the good sense of
the people will yet be made to rebuke the in
fidelity and fanaticism of those who are striv-
ing to obtain possession of the Government in
order to promote their evil designs. And |
more than this, feel that the South is awak-
ening to the magnitude of the dangers that |
encompass her, and that our people, by an
overwhelming majority, composed Of Wings, |
Democrats and Americans, will show that |
if we cannot win the Presidential victory, that |
we can at least present to the enemy an un- |

Resistance in Virginia.

The following are the resolutions, in full,
offered by EX-GOVERNOR Wise at the great
States Rights gathering in Princess Anne
county, Virginia, and to which reference has
already been made in our telegraphic column.
The resolutions were adopted by accIazlation,
and immediate steps were taken to carry them
into effect:
LIST. To appoint committees of safety" as
IN Revolutionary times, to consist oil six per-
sons rom each mag1steral district, a majority
OF whom Tor each district may act. They
shall devise and control measures of police
Tor our safety, and for enrolling and organizing
body OF Minute Men," for whom in all
respects they shall provide. And quarterly,
or oftener at such times as they may appoint,
the respective committees of the districts, or
their representatives, shall assemble, in whole
or IN part as they may direct, as a general
council Tor the country, which shall sit under
Chief oil Minute Men, to be elected by the
several councils, and removable at their
pleasure. The Minute Men shall execute
the orders OF the district committees, and Of
the general council ; and shall, when necessa-
ry, be provided with the proper means.
"a. mat II be recommended to every
county in the Commonwealth to organize in
the same or similar manner, and to publish
the same as we now order for notice to our
friends and co-operators.
Sd. That the moment the election returns
are made known, and it is ascertained that
| Abraham Lincoln is elected President of the
United States, the general council of this
county shall select one delegate from each
district to meet such delegates as may be APP
pointed by other counties to assemble in con-
vention at Richmond, to determine upon
measures for protecting our own safety and
honor as people, for defending the Constitu-
ton of the United States, for saving our
rights in the Uaian for obtaining the
sanction of the sovereign State of Virginia.
4th That these proceedings be published
at Norfolk and Richmond, and copies be sent
to each county in the Commonwealth and
that the President and Secretary of the meet
ing be ordered to see this duly executed
9Th. That a committee of five be appointed

magisterial district, within a week, for the
purpose of organizing according to the first
| resolution

John Forsyth on the Southern Rights
Party.

The Southern Rights party cannot die until
the entire spirit of the South is broken and
conqured and subdued and bound at the foot
Of the Abolition power. All history teaches
that this cannot be done without fierce strug-
gle. No people ever yet gave up such a
stake as we have in our institutions without
a death grapple with the aggressor. Until
every man turns submissionist at the South,
the Southern Rights party will not be dis
solved. The very sun under which we are
born, will prevent that universal degeneration !;
it will quicken the blood and increase the
bounding pulse in some of the sons of the
sunny land. And as abolitionism is true to
its fanatic interests, it demands, and pushes
on its encrcachments, as it will surely do,
under the invitation Of such votes as Georgia
gave in November last. The Southern Rights
party will grow from the necessary instincts
of self preservation. The people will cease to
trust to the delusive cry of Union for safety,
and learn that that fanaticism which has denied
them justice in a division of partnership
property in real estate, will not respect per-
sonal property or life. One or two things
must happen the Southern Rights party
must triumph, and Union submission be put
down, or the Southern people must make I'D
their minds to the grand catastrophe of Afri-
can emancipation. Whenever this issue is
clearly seen-and the North is forcing open
the eyes of the most blind-it needs no
prophet to tell what will be the acton of the
people and the respective positions of the
Southern Rights and Submission parties. We
calmly bide the time; we await the hour with
a calmness, disturbed by but single mis-
giving, and that is, that the syren song of
peace and safety, and Union, may be poured
into the sleeping ears of our countrymen. un-
til it is too late to break the wythes which a
consolidated government welded by abolition
influence shall have bound round the limbs of
the sleeping giant. The South has borne
enough to make the patriotic breast trembIe,
least she should never awake to a sense of
her danger Our hope is in the impatience of
the enemy, and the kick too much to the
section.

"a Felicitous Circumstance. ;

On Tuesday last, when Col. Wharton was
speaking he referred to the fact that great
many old Wings, who had for long time
remained in the slough of ignorance, and in
the bonds of partisan prejudice, had in this
contest cast off their shackles, and, regardless
of former associations, given in their adhesion
to the cause of the States Rights Democracy.
Pointing to Col. J. J. B. White, who was sit
ting in front of the stand, he instanced his
former devotion to Whiggery, and his present
adherence to Democracy. Whereupon the
Col, with the elasticity and enthusiasm ola
boy, sprang up, and with voice, the mellow
ness Of which the tribulations sixty-five years
have not impaired, he said, true it was that,
like Saul of Tarsus, who had long prosecuted
the Christians, he had done some service and
had fought many battles under the banner OF
Whiggery, against Democracy-when, be-
hold at last the scales had fallen from his
eyes, and he had been brought to behold the
light. Then it was, that he had grounded
the arms Of his rebellion, and his voice had
been given to swell the mighty anthem that
the South was everywhere sending up--in
praise Of the Union under the Constitution.
The effect was electrical Yazoo Democrat,

From the MeJ0 Orleans Cou'I
Southern Manufactures.


We are much gratified at seeing the number
of patents issued to Southern inventors con-
stantly on the increase. 1t shows that SGath-
ern genius is as prolific in inTantion as North
ern and that the Southern mind is alert to
the importance Of emulating the North in this
respect.
Until recently, five years back. Gov. Banks
declaration that a Southern man could not
manufacture n knife With which to stab 4
Northern man." was pronounced n truism by
every one Of us This order OF thongs Is rap
idly changing, however sEd factories OF al
kinds are now springing up IN the South. We
trust that the period is not far distant when
our own precious staple will7be made into
goods here at home, and not sent away to DO
moulded into fashion as is the case now, to be
repurchased from those who condemn the
system Of labor by which that@usefal article OF
trade is produced. A few sears ago, when
the Governor OF South Carolina called the at
tention of Governor Gardiner, Of Massachu-
sets, to the unconstitutionality Of the personal
liberty bill, passed by the Massachusetts, Lee
gislature, that gentleman, in reply, aindulged in
low abuse of the South, and t'iumphsntsg
pointed TO the fact that the psper uLan which
South Cardinals remOnstrance was Written as
we'll as that used in Southern Legislatures,
bore the water mark of Northern factory.
1t was true, but we hope better time is COM
ing, and that Southerners will devote more at
tenton TO those matters hereafter. Letsls
compete with, and il possible eGele Yankee
dom in the number and utility Of our inyen-
tons, and then they will not only RESPECT, but
fear u.s. If this could be done. the cringing
serviiity OF the Northern masses would be as
remarkable as that of their mercantile COM
munity has always been. Let us teach them
that we can and will manufacture our own
articles of consumption and our own NIPPLE
ments Of husbandry, and the securely of the
South in the Union will Be fully maintained.
We are led to the above remarks patty by
the notices which we have observed inaour
parish exchanges Of the establishment OF sew
eral manufactures in this State, and by Che
large number of patents for useful inventions
and improvements lately issued to Louisian-
lans. These manifestations of pr0gress and
are truly welcome, ssld de-
note that Louisiana is determined to be no
laggard in the race.

THE MINUTE MEN.-We are glad to see
the people of our State everywhere preparing
for the crisis which is at hand. AS an offset
to the "Wide Awakes" of the North, "Min-
ute Men" are organizing in all the principal
districts in South Carolina Their object is to
form an armed body of men, and to join in
with our fellow-cItzens. now forming in this
and our sister States as Minute Men," whose
duty is to arm. equip and drill, and be ready
for any emergency that may arise in the
present perilous position of the Southern
States. In Kershaw. Abbeville and Bichland
Districts the organization is already complete
and powerful, embracing the flower of the
youth, and led on by the most influential cit
liens. The badge adopted is blue rosette-
two and half inches in diameter, with a
military button in the center, to be worn upon
the side of the hat Let the important work
go brayely on, and let every son Of Carolina
prepare to mount the blue cockadc.

SEEvILE INSTRUCTIONS AND THEIR REMEDY.
WHAT THE REPUBLICANS MEAN BY 'PRoTEC
TON" PLEASANT INTERPRETATION OF
THE CONSTITUTION. THE WAY LINCOLN
WOULD ''PAcIFY'' INSURGENTS, ETC, ETC.
To Editors Of Evening Post.
This kind of domestic violence" is becom-
ing frequent, and will probably be more so in
coming time. 1t is therefore proper that our
true constitutional duties should be understood
by the people. am reminded Of this duty
by the remarks of Senator Doolittle, in a
speech reported in the Evening Post OF the
26th September, in which he is reported as
saying "lf they (the slaves rise in insurrec-
ton, as they may, it (the Constitution binds
us to put them down with ball and bayonet.
The truth is, and we may as well open our
eyes to the fact that the strong arm Of the
Federal Government may be invoked to hold
them for their masters to work Them.
The Senator doubtless put forth these ideas
without that study and thought which should
have guided him when attempting to expound
our constitutional rights and duties. The
4th section of the 4th article of the Constitu-
ton reads as follows The United States shall
guarantee to each State Republican form of
government, and shall protect each of them
against invasing, and on application of the Lee
gislature or Of the Executive (when the Leg
islature cannot be convened) against domestic
violence
1t would appear difficult to misconstrue this
language Protection to the State and its peo-
pie is the entire object of this provision. 1t
is not to put down insurgents By ball and
bGy0net, or by the halter or the gibbet. Nor
is it to hold slaves for their masters to work
tham Tf Su1h xrara ba nblipr+ ions of tho
Constitution, Mr. Garrison might well call it
"a covenant with death and on agreement
with hell'' The State has the right to en-
force its own laws if it can, nor has the Fed
eral Executive the right to Interfere until
called on for that purpose. But when called
on for protection, he must render such pro-
lection in that way which shall be most con-
sistent with justice, and not with Injustice
This war power is an unlimited despotism
lying behind all constitutions and all laws and
is less understood by the American people than
almost any other feature of our government.
If necessary to protect the people the army
may be used to shoot down slaves but little
insurgent slares can be pacifed By haviag their
freedom, the ErecutiUe may protect the people
by giving tie slaues their Ebaty, or by sending
them out ofhe State or country as was prac
tised in the Florida war by Generals Scott
and Jessup and Taylor.
The whole theory and practice to which l
have alluded is in perfect accordance tcih the
Republican platform, which declares that our
government was instituted to secure life and
liberty" and not to destroy the enjoyment of
these rights by shooting do,On sIaUes, or hoLiing

Old John Brown the Black Republican
Saint,

Read the following extracts, and see how
the raid of John Brown was regarded by lead
ing Republicans
"Jchn Brown, dead, will live in millions of
hearts. 1t will be easier to die in good cause
even on the gall0ws since John Brown hal
lowed that mode Of exit from the troubles and
temptations of this mortal existence. Then
as to the irrepressbe conflict who does not
see that this sacrifice must inevitably intensity
its press and hasten its end ? Yes, John

Il tell you, fellow citizens the Harnor,s
Ferry outrage was the legitimate consequence
of the teachings of the Republican party n'-
Senator Wilson.
Mr. Elizur Wright, prominent Republican
of New England, defends John A. Andrews
the Republican candidate for Governor OF
Massachusetts, and says:
an my opinion, John Brolcn aoas qloriously
right IN '0dat he did at Ha,pe,'s Ferry; and
if he erred at all, he erred in being too tender
hearted, and too much afraid of shedding inno-
cent blood"
Mr.. Seward declares there is an irrepressi-
bic conflict between freedom and slavery and
Mr.. Lincoln, the standard bearer of the Black
Republicans, says:
81 DO not believe this government can en-.
dure permanently half free and half slave;
do not believe the union will be dissolved, but
| expect tie see slavery abolished"
In letter to Boston meeting Mr.. Lincoln
takes this position:
"This is world of eompensations, and hi
who would be no slave must consent TO haze
no slave. Those who deny freedom to other:
deserve it not Tor themselves. and under
just God, can not long retain it,

The Real Panic Party.

The RepuJlieans-who are running a man
for Governor in Massachusetts, who says,
John Brown was right"
The Repablicans-who voted in Congress
few months since to give liberty to every
human being"-and who are re-eIecting those
very members, to go back to repeat the vote
The Repablicans-who threaten to "drive
the Shareholders, like poisoned rats, into their
holes.'
The Rpublicans-who teach an irrepreSsi-
bic conflict, and conflict that must 60 on
according to Lincoln) until the country is
either all free or all slave.
Is it marvellous that the Southern people
should take the alarm in the face Of such a
record as that? Is it marvellous that the
election of Lincoln should be looked upon there
as but presage of new instructions among
their slaves, and schemes of emancipation to
be wrought out only in fire and slaughter ?
We repeat 1.-THE republican party is the
panic party. 1t is they who have kindled this
fire-and now that the confagration threatens
to burst out, as if half afraid of their incen-
diary work, they are telling US there is no
danger-no reason forapprehension, no reason
for alarm, ETC., etc.-N 7. Express
