The weekly Mississippian. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1859-1864, 1860-11-07


GTWe clip the following extract from the
White Mountains, n. H., correspondence Of
the Mariana Patriot:
Mr. EDITOR: We have Just received the
news concerning the insurrectionary move
ments at Dalton and Marietta, Ga. The ed
itor Of the Boston Journal, commenting on
the matter, promises the South more of such
outbreaks i'll n short time Such language
meets with hearty response from full nine
tenths OF the New England people.
The plan of liberating the slaves through
rebellion is continually discussed here, and it
is generally believed that had John Brown
been less hasty, he would most certainly
have succeeded. The matter is fully discuss
cd from all the pulpIts, and it is generally
conceded that Virginia and Kentucky can be
freed by occupation in few years. A COM
mittee have been canvassing these States for
over eighteen months to see how strong the
insurrectionary element is. Their report is
published for society purposes, but not gener-
ally known, only as it ekes out from the
preaching fraternity. 1t is said to promise
success beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tons Of these friends for assassination and
plunder.
The travel North is said to be greater this
summer than ever before. The cars from
Montreal to F'oston have frequently carried
two thirds Of their burthen Southerners. The
visitors at the White Mountains have been
nearly all Southerners-owing probably to
the excessive hot weather in the South.
Political discussions are such one-sided af.
fairs here that they are becoming perfectly
stale Lincoln will carry everything north
of Mason & Dixon's line; perchance the Ad-
ministration party may carry Pennsylvania
We may very surely count upon Black-Re-
publican for the next President, unless the
Southern people present an unbroken front
for Southern Democracy. Mr.. Douglas
most enthusiastic friends do not consider him
sure Of a single electoral vote in the free
States. The contest before the people is most
certainly between Lincoln and Breckenridge,
with tremendous odds on Lincoln's side.
There probably never was 50 much enthusi-
asm in any party as there is at present in the
Black Republican party. Most Of the speak
ers whom have heard seem more like mad
men than leaders Of the most numerous par
ty in the Union. There is nothing which
they do not promise to accomplish for the
Republicans within the next four years should
Lincoln be elected, (and at present there seems
but little doubt ofit;) the Republicans will
be hard to oust, for already promised to the
faithful, aud Uncle Sans purse will soon be
as void of change as chatf is of solid wheat
No thoughtful man can view the political as
pect Of affairs in the free States without be-
ing convinced that the beginning Of the
End" is present. As sure as 10000
united are more powerful at the ballot-box
than 100000 distracted and divided in their
councils, Just so sure must the South succumb
and cease to WELD any influence in national
affairs, or go out of this Union and maintain
her rights, if necessary, by arms.
Before great while there will be a crowd
of officials in the Southern States who will
be telling the people to keep cool; that, after
all, Mr.. Lincoln is not such bad man.
