Tho Presidential Context.


This day takes place the most important elec,
ton that has occurred since the formation Of
this Government. For the first time, since the
adoption Of the Constitution, the contest as
sunes an aspect at once novel, and dangerous
to the continuance OF the Union. Instead of a
controversy on Il national measure, as 4 Bank,
or = Tarlil-inYolving merely Il difference Of
opinion, and in no way eltccting the rights Of
a Sectlon-we SEE 4 warfare on the Southern
States, growing out Of their peculiar domestic
institHtiOHs-lcd on by i candidate for the
Presidency who is so Objectionable, that he has
no supporters in fifteen States OF the Union =
In the language of Lincoln and his supporters,
there is an "irrcprcssible conflict" between the
Free and Slave States, and that it must tcrIni.
nate in the abolition Of slavery. or the Subjuga-
ton Of the North--and hence, we See the two
sections standing in hostile array against each
other, with no breakwnter between them but the
great State of New York There need be no
such 'irreprcSsiblc conflict" between sister
States, every candid person knows. That, OIL
the contrary, there is naturally i perfect har-
mony OF interests between them; and that
whatever Of Earring there is to-day between
the North and South, is the effect Of Il lniSguid-
ell zeal, and a meddlinS spirit, which political
dctnagogues are tanning into Il flame, for po-
litical purposes, regardless Of the consequent
ccs. But the issue is before uS-thc contest
at our doors; and this day will determine if
there is enough Of intelligence, of virtue, or Of
patriotism, to carry the country unframed
through the direSt pcrils that ever threatened
any government in the worlds history
Through the folly Of the National Democratic
Councils, aggravated by the blindness and per-
sonal considerations Of the friends Of Mr..
Douglas, in most Of the free States, the sup
rorters OF 'the Constitutions rights Of all
the States" are rendered powerless-and can
only cvincc their interest in the contest, and
show. their sympathies with the South, by a
quiet expression of their feelings through the
ballot boxes. With the exception Of New
York, there is hardly State whose vote may
not safely be predicted to-day and the follow
ing table, ITO the best Of our knowledge and
belief will not be varied in three States.-
The friends of Mr.. Douglas profess great conf
dcncc in the vote OF Illinois-and We dcvoutly
hope they may prove true prophets. Of no
other Western State have we any hope and
little in that. In the last Presidential cleo.
ton, the vote resulted precisely as we pre-
dicted-and we give out the following As our
urcScut view Of the case:

The Day Of Battle has Arrived.

Before another issue Of the Richmond I'm
quirer' can reach any Of our readers, the most
important and exciting election in which
American citizens have ever participated Will
have taken place. Never were our principles
more imperilled than in the present warfare
waged upon our constitutional rights by biack
Republican enemies, headed by their standard
bearer. Abe Lincoln. Nothing can defeat the
ageressors but = concentration of the entire
Southern vote on those well.tried and faithful
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and LANE. The desti-
nv Of this great American Union is now in the
hands of the people. The importance Of the
contest now upon us cannot DC over estimated.
it involves all that patriots and friends of the
Union hold dea-, and upon the result hangs
the hopes Of the nation for all time to come.
Tie time for argument anl discussion has
passed. It only remains now for US, friends
Of the Constitution and the Union, to act-to
net as freemen worthy of the noble heritage OF
!ihcrty-to act as it becomes men to act who
properly estimate the glorious privileges they
eaiov. and who wish to transmit them to a free
and happy postcrity!
Democrats of Virginia! friends Of Breckin-
ridge and Lane! at this time shall there be
any recreancy in our ranks: viii not every
man who desires the success Of our gallant
candidates, who desires the defeat of Lincoln
and Hamlin, be Al his post y VIII there be one

Exeter Hall Throws cr it's Mask

The London Morning Chronicle" a journal
which is in close utilization with the "British
and Foreign Anti-Slavcry Society Of Exeter
Hall, contains the following paragraph:
There is no safety for European monarchi-
cal governments, if the progressive spirit of
the Democracy of the United States is allowed
to succeed. Elect Lincoln, and the first blow
to the separation of the United States is effect
cd"
This is European sentiment. 1t was the SEN
timent which contaminated the abolition Of
African slavery in the British possessions. In
justifying the Indemnity of 100000, 900
(s100, 600, o0o) given to the planters, Sir Ro-
bert Peel asserted that the money had been
well expended, if for nothing else, for the in
nucncc that the measure would exercise in
abolishing slavery in the United States, and,
consequently 4 division Of that mighty Union
of the western hemisphere which, if let alone,
was to ultimately cast into perpetual shade
that realm which was so extended that there
was no setting sun for its tag.
If Lincoln's election is realized and Il Sepa-
ration effected, Exeter Hall will then let the
South reposc in security. The government of
Great Britain will nourish her institution as
essential to the wcll-bcing of the British, and
form, il it be desired, Il treaty offensive ard le-
fensive with her.
If the North will be content with nothing
less than Il separation, let it come and let the
limo Of partition be drawn. Southern pro-
perty may slightly depreciate at first, but
it will speedily recover and steadily increase
in value ever after; while Northern pro-
perry will fall at once to a low point Of dcprcs-
sion, and, perhaps, there remain for ages.
The notion that either England, or France, or
Germany, Or Belgium, can get along prosper
ously Z day, without the products of Southern
fields. as cultivated with slave labor, is too pre-.
posterous to be entertained by n rational mind.
That labor is as essential 10 The material. and
indeed political, existence Of each rs pap is to
the child.
Even if that which is regarded as the great
est Of national calmnities shall transpire-a d.
vision Of the Union-therc will be nothing in
the occurrence, which ought to cause 4 Southern
heart to despair. Clouds will DC removed, i'll

We appeal to every voter who values the
institutions Of our glorious Confederacv. to
remember that John Bell will not get the vote
Of a single Southern State, and that S. A.

every vote cast for either Bell or Douglas is \

chance of defeating the Black Republican az
grcssors, headed by their sectional candidate,
Abraham Lincoln. Therefore it is the duty Of
