the Fire-eaters compose the South, or at
least give tone and direction to its senti-

we give below a few extracts from South

However zealously We may have espouse5
the cause of the candidate of our preference,
We have nothing to retract. Hcnccfcrth,
so far as We can, We shall seek to heal the
unhappy division that has been the cause
of all the disastrous results of this contest,

and determinations; we have no taste nor
appetite for such work.
From the GeOrri. Statesman. [Ben)
It is the duty Of every friend of the South
and of South Carolina. to use his utmost
efforts to restrain that State from secession.
The southern people are far from being
united. and anarchy would be inYitable
from the attem;t to precipitatc them into
revolution.
From the New Orleans Delta. douglas
WY DoS'T They RESrGS?-We learn
by telegraph that the federal officers of
South Carolina, including the Collector of
the port of Charleston, have resigned, in
accordance with the disunion programme,
on the announcement of Abe Lineoln's
election. We visited the custom-house in
this city, yesterday. and to our astonish-
went, We found all the bureaus open, and
the officials. from the deputy collector
down, hard at work. Why don't. they.
follow in the wake of South Csroliua?-
Why don't they practice what they preach?
Why don't they resign?

The people of the Union may commit error

confidence in their intelligence and love of
union and patriotism, we have no appre-

tain sentiments of disunion; but vii, when
the proper time comes, correct the error
they may have committed in electing 4 Sec

nation. We believe in the sentiment, that
the sober second thought of the people is

From the New Orleans Bee, (Bel)
We echo the sentiment. Let all patri-
OTIS choose their position; let them resolve
te stand by the. Union as long as the fed

citizens Of Louisiana. We echo, too, the
: language of the staunch Democrat Hon.
John 5. MillsOn, of Virginia, who speaking
Of the election before his constituents at
Norfolk. said: Result as it may, in six
ty days after it was over there would be
no Bell. Douglas or Breckenridge party in
the country. There would be but two-a
party for the Union and one against the
Union. He had sided and would battle
against the former. And so will the

respects the Constitutional rights of the
South. Hence We say again, let rs 1rait.

Other grave errors of the Breckenridge
party We might expose, but these suffice for
eur purpose, which is to warn the people
against the effort surely to be made by the
leaders of the Iancey school of using that
party as the instrument for 'prccipi ating,
without consulting, the people of these
