Mr.. Sanders says:
"AI hs the Unou men Of the South ask Of you lRePus
Hcsns] Is 10 let the South hore"
Then, George, we are happy to assure you that
there can be no chance for D;suniOn, for we are
goipe to DO that very thing. The South ~tt DO let
alone by Mr.. Lincoln's nistratiOn-tboroush
decisi, ely, undeniably Then what is there to
secede Oh?
Mr.. Sanders informs us that the Fire-eaters will
not wait to see whether Mr.. LiocOln purposes to
do them any wrong or net They will make their
bolt under the rule Of the Old Public Functionary,
lest they sheu have chance, or no exc Use, after
Mr.. Lncoln's inauguration. And he adds th,t the
Cotton States have already given US due and formal
notice that they will secede in case OF Mr.
LiDcoln's election.
We beg leave to assure Mr. S. tAat he Is en-
trely mistaken as to the facts. The Cotton States
have given no such notice. and they are not gong
to cut up any such didoes as he presages. few
noisy politicians have exbaled large amount OF
unwholescme gas, but the Southern People regard
their bravado with silent contempt. JEFF. Day

There will be no call for Mr.. Lincoln to put down
rebellion and notification 10 the South west; the
People of the Cotton States will do that whenever
the opportunity is offered them. They are not
goire to have their mails stopped and their coast
bIockaded to crafty the mad ambition OF few
self seeking cOubteIeiters Of Pro-Slayery fanatl-
cism. We dare the Fire-eators to submit the
question of Secession or No Secession because OF
LiDeons election to TIE popular vote OF their own
people. They will be badly beaten in every State
but South Carolina, and probably beaten 10 her
popular vote also. And LET them be assured of
thi.-that they cSrnot make fents Of jump
ing out of the Union and expect the
North TO hold them. Whenever any considerable
section of this Union shall really insist on getting
out of it, we shall iosit that they be allowed to CO.
And We feel sure that the North generally cherishe'
kindred determination. So let there be no NOR
babble as to the ability of the Cotton States to
whip the North. If they oiH fight, they mus
hunt up some other enemy, for We are not going to
fight them. If they insist on staying in the Unon,
they mutt of course obey its Laws; but, if the
People (not the swashy polticians) Of the Cotton
States shall ever deliberately vote themselves out
of the Union, we shall be in favor Of letting them
90 in peace. Then who is to fight aud what

But what will you do for Cotton 2" ssk the
appalled, Sanderses. Why Sirs, we will buy it and
pay for it, just as other nations do-just as we do
now. They who grow or hold Cotton want to sell
it just as much as tnosewho spin and wear it want
to buy it. Not to insist on the fact that the South
already owes the North more than would keep the
latter Overstocked with Cotton for .he next two
years, we may observe that the South wants what
we have to spare just as much as we want her
Cotton. If she thinks she can enrich herself by
levyiDg an export duty Of twenty-five per cent. on
her great staple, let her try it, by all means: the
Cotton-erowe of India, Africa, the West Indies

il puthit the manufacture Of fax and other veg
etable fbers. Cotton would cease to be the staple
of cur Seeding States within five years, were they
to levy an export duty of twenty five per cent on it;
and that might be better for the South aud for man
kind We do not say it would, but it might be.
Cotton, Mr. Sanders informs us, has, Z" for the
last forty years. enabled us to be the haaghtiest
L" and most defiant nation in the world" We had
suspicion of this before, but did not like to blurt
it out. If then, the secession of the Cotton States
should serve to mend our National manners and
render us more tolerabe neighbor and ally, we
should hold it not the unmixed evil it is commonly
represented.
We are very much obliged to Mr.. Sanders for
his assurance that the Cotton States do not want
