An OutsIde YIew ef DIsunIon.

The Toronto Globe closes an article on the
prospects of disunion in the United States, as
follows:
But the fact is, the schemers who are now
seeking to dismember the Republic do not
advance the real reasons which actuate them
in their movements. 1t is because the ex-
tension Of slavery has been checked that they
are angry. 1t is because the law Of the Union,
which makes slave trade piracy, will be car
ried ou, that they threaten rebellion. Had
either Of the Democratic candidates been sue
c%essful, they anticipated another career of I'M
checked Kansas outrages and ofimportations
Of unlimited human flesh. But with the
power which he will hold, il Abraham Lin
coin does not check both, without calculating
the obstacles a hostile Senate may throw in
his way, he will be the betrayer OF his party
and the deceiver of men of all countries who
have watched his career with sympathy and
reioiced in his success.
All things considered, the South had bet
ter wait until the Republicans geta majority
in the Senate-which they ann do inside
of two years. Then there may be some
reason for secession-at present there is o

Democracy In Andover.

WEST ASpovEn, o., Nov. 10, 1850.
EDIToRs LsADER; l see that The Demo-
crat is very much consoled in their days Of
affection, on account of the ginning strength
CT his party in Andover. We would like to
inform the happy man, through your paper,
that the Democratic "seeds' he speaks Of,
were sown in Andover many years ago, and,
judging from the crop from year to year, the
original outlay has never been realized by the
stockholders. There are now left three mon
grel "seeds," three of which-we have
SOM hopes of the other two-wil probably
be voting the the Democratic ticket in all
coming time, or, ut least as long as their
Improbable political lives are spared.
If the Democrat man has no stronger
hopes for the future prosperity of his party
than he can find in Andover, he may as well
hang up his fiddle, for the atmosphere of
Andover is as ~repugnant to Democrats, as
Irish soil is to snakes and toads.
Yours, under jo~llifcation circumstances,
MAUI AND WEDGE.

Political and secession Movements,

Gov. Letcher OF Virginia has issued his
Proclamation converting The Legislature at
Richmond on the It'll of January "to take
into consideration the condition of public
affairs and determine calmly and wisely what
action is necessary in this emergency"
The Richmond Enquirer of Friday has an
article on secession, claiming the right of any
State to secede "when it deems the acts of
other States Objectionable It says off the
Federal Government persists in coerclng the
s~ecessionists, Virginia will resist to the last"
The Savannah Republican of the 18th
inst says that although it has been positive
ly asserted that Mr.. Toombs has resigned his
seat in the United States Senate, that paper,
after the most diIigent enquiry, has been
unable to find the slightest foundation for the
statement.
From special Washington dispatches to
Saturday N. Y. Tribune, we take the fol-

expulsion from Charleston, S, c., of Mr.. VIM.
C. Wood, of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Wood was
a graduate of Harvard College. and went
South for the purpose Of teaching. On his
way from Charleston to Four Mile Branch,
BarnwenD District where he wus to teach, he in

A fellow passenger having heard the express

by a committee, who questioned him as to his
politics, but he declined answering them

some Very Alarming stories SpOIIed--Let-
ter from Hmm. John M. Rnffn.


The following extract of a private letter
from Hon. John NJ. Bolts, shows how much
reliance Is to be placed on some OF the alarm
ing reports that reach us from the South:
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. - 1860.
Ny DEAR - The letter published in
the Herald from this place, in regard to the
feeling and condition of things in this State
are fabulous and unfounded to the last de-
gree. There is nothing in the world going
On here, relative to raising and arming and
drilling troops, that would not have occurred
had there been no election at all-even to
the encampment and parade of cavalry in
this vicinity, which was gotten up last
spring for the purpose of getting up an oes-
pritde corps" and which broke up last night,
and all have returned 10 their homes and
daily avocations-yet it is announced by the
correspondent of the Herald, among a thous-
and and one other stories, equally as I'M
founded, that it was a preparation for
war, growing out of the election of Lincoln.
Virginia is sound to the core on the Union
question, and has no idea of being hitched to,
or dragged into any movement that looks
like one of disunion. l am truly and sin
cerely yours, JOHN NJ. Boris.

One Of the most obnoxious and blatant
Disunionists here, who holds an important
appointment, was recently in a mixed CON-
pany discharging his customary bombast
about what South Carolina was going to do.
When asked if she should secede alone, where
she would get troops, having only about one
half as many voters as New York City, he
replied, "From France or England" A
diplomat was present. and in answer to the
inquiry if France would assist, he replied,

The Nashville Banner says;

The NashVllle Banner says
ave hold that there is no evil existing
no evil threatened, even in the excited imagi-
nation of these mad disunionists-ior which
the remedies secured TO US by the federal
Union and its Constitutional guarantees are
not fully adequate, and vastly to bepreferred,
underall circumstances, to any remedy of Sc
cessiol or revolution.
Gas we sud at the outset, we must meet
this question at once, if our fears are realized
by the announcement OF Lincoln's election.
There are mad spirits in the South determined
TO precipitate the cotton States into revoIu-
ton. Tennessee must not allow its eonserv-
alive strength in the Union to lay dormant
at such a crisis. She must put herself upon
the record at once, in some form or other,
with immediate and direct reference to this
question. The moral weight of her position
will have an important bearing upon the is
sue of the question. She must give the fam
atics of the South the impracticable alb
s~tractiGnists and dreamers who would pull
down the edifce erected by Washington,
Jefferson, and their compeers, and build air
castles in its stead-to understand that they
must not count upon her cooperation"

Lincoln's majority in this former strong
hold of Democracy, is over 5000. The Re-

MR.. BUCHANAN's INDECIsToN.

The only real apprehension entertained
here is as TO Mr.. Buchanan's INDIGESTION in
case a practical and serious ~exigency should
arise in South Carolina. Every appeal has
been made by his political friends, including
members of the Cabinet, to prevent any DEM
OnstratiOn there which would involve the ne
cessity of Executive interference in sustain
ing tile laws. The more moderate ale dis
inclined to press him in consideration of past
services to the South, while reckless ultras
think the chance better to strike under a
weak and timid President, who they believe
Will not strike back, than to incur the risk
Of confronting the new Administration.
THE APPLICATION To FRANCE.
The rumors of overtures having been made
to the French Emperor for commercial OF
diplomatic relations in the contingency of
South Carolina seeding, are absurd. They
would not be entertained if proposed, and if
they were, the Government here would at
once dismiss the French Minister, and break
off intercourse.
The New Orleans Bee of Nov. 9Th evidently
does not go with the secessionists. 1t says:
Those who know South Carolina, and have
been familiar with her Disunion proclivities
for the last thirty years, will scarcely be sur
pTised at the swiftness with which she pro-
ceeds to avail herself with something Of a
plea e. dissolution a little less himsy than her
whliyaie fierce Trades against the Tariff laws.
She will have sympathizers and adherents in
Louisiana and Arkansas, but we are conf
dent that in the former, and most probably
in the latter, the preponderance of public
opinion will be in favor of deliberation, mod
Grafton, and mastery inactivity, at least until
the projects and designs of the Black Repub-
licans are laid bare.
On Wednesday of last week at Fairfax
Courthouse, Virginia, a man named Gartrell,
who had voted for Lincoln, was seized by a
party while he was coming out of the court
house and carried a short distance from the
village, where he was BACKED completely
with printers ink, mounted on his horse and
started for his house in as uncomfortable a
situation as n could wish to be in.
There are only three towns in Western
Massachuset in which Lincoln does not
have a clean majority over all the other
candidates. These are all in Berkshire
county.
SHAMEFUL FRAUD ON THE BALLOT-BOx.-We

sales could not be postponed, but hat such
was the construction of the law that actual
settlers would be allowed to refle their pre-
emption claims and should not be disturbed
in their possession. The President said SOM
of the settlers acted very badly, but they
were nevertheless human beings, and should
be relieved and protected. He gave credence
to Mr.. Hyatt's representations as to their
suferings, and said he would appeal to Con-
