The Impending Danger.

The Journal of Commerce still entertains the hope
that New York will vote for the fusion ticket against
Lincoln, but the Times exults at the prospect of
Lincoln's success in that State and the Herald re-
luctantly gives it up. That paper of Friday says
common justice to all concerned demands that
this idea that something may turn up to redeem
New York should be abandoned. Nep York wiu
ooto Jor Lincoln and by larger majority, we dare
say, than any other State Lincoln DiU be elected
There is no use in mncing the matter any longer.
We are called upon to look this thing full in the
face. Lincoln will be elected and all parties con-
cerned may as well just now shape their course to
that event as to wait till the day after the election"
The fear that Lincoln will be elected has already
produced an effect upon the price of stocks in New
York. The stock market has been unusually excl
ted for several days past and stocks have fallen
In the South many of the Banks have ceased to dis
count and Northern houses find it difficult to COL
lect their debts from Southern customers Mean
while the "Wide Awake" organizations are increas-
ing in the Northern States, and minute Men" are
being enrolled and organized by thousands in the
South. Many of the public journals in Virginia,
South-Carona, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tex
as, Louisiana, and Arkansas are advocating dissolu-
ton in the event of Lincolns election and calling
Oh ehS PSOPl0 W dCIlNe anu uidl HledS-
ures of defence. As specimen of the feeling in
South-Carolina we may state that Gov. Gist having
been nominated for the Senatorship by a correspon-
dent of the Charleston Mercury writes to that paper
that if Lincoln is elected he would not serve as a
Senator in Congress, as he could not properly rep
resent State that submitted to black Republican
rule"
The danger of POLITICAL social pccuniary, and do
nestle commissions seems to be near at hand There
appears to be strong ground for the apprehension
that several of the Southern States will secede, or
attempt to secede in the event of Lncolns election
His election WILL of ITSELF affect the price of proper
ty of all kinds and interrupt the ordinary course of
business Prudent men in all sections and espe-
pecially in the South, will be firm and calm. Moth
ing should be advised or done in passion or in a
hurry. Ifs great calamity his election should
befall the South it will be the part of wisdom to
wait and see what he will recommend in his lnaug-
ural, and what he will attempt to do. If he should
touch the South at all vitality the South will be
able to defend its interests and its honor against all
odds.

democrats. are Won Readya


On Tuesday next the American people will be
called upon to discharge an important duty in the
midst of the greatest crisis which has existed
in their history We do not overstate the fact when
We say that the existence Of the Constitution and
the Union is directly at stake for if Lincoln shall
be elected the spirit of the Constitution will have
been violated by the triumph of geographical par
ty, while the action of certain Southern States will
be directed towards dissolution Of the Union itself
Under these circumstances it is the high duty of
every citizen to turn out and vote. Let each one do
50 in his own way responsible as he is to God and
bis country for the vote he may cast.
We appeal to the Democrats of this State to vote
As one man for the Electoral ticket which is headed
With the names of Scales and Haywood. In no
other way can we be absolutely certain that we will
defeat the Bell ticket The Douglas Democrats may
rest assured that if the ten Electoral votes of this
State will elect Mr. Douglas over Mr.. Lincoln, they
will be cast accordingly by the Breckenridge Elect
OrS Why, then, should they hesitate to make COM
mon cause with the great bulk of the party? Re
grets for having pursued such course as to give
the State to Bell will do no good after the election.
The deed VIII nave Oeen Done, ana no reSretS VIII
undo it Let the Douglas Democrats, for example,
mark the ticket containing the Breckenridge Elect
OTIS with the names of Douglas and johnson, and
vote that ticket In that way they will indicate
their preference for the men of their choice, while
at the same time they will vote with the great bulk
Ofther party friends against Bell and Everett.
We believe the Breckenridge Democrats will do
their whole duty on the day of election; and they
will be aided by hundreds of Southern rights Wings
who distrust John Bell and who are determined, in
this great struggle for the Constitutional rights of
the States, to stand by the only party chich main
ins the true doctrine ON the subject Of slarery in
the Territories That party is the Breckenridge and
Lane party; and the doctrine is neither Congress
sOnal prohibition or Congressional protection, but
nOnintervention both by Congress and the Terrific
RAJ Legislatures
Webeleve that a thorough rally and full vote
will carry the State for Breckenridge and Lane. Let
every Democrat exert himself Let means be pro-
Nded for carrying the aged and infirm to the polls
and let no honorable efforts be spared which may be
calculated to ensure victory to the friends of sound
Constitutional principles.

The DOCTRINE OF FoRcE.-We published recently
an extract from speech made by Mr.. Badger, in
the Senate, in 1850, in which he declared that the
Union of the States cannot be preserved by force
We now add the following pointed observations on
the subject from Mr.. Everetts letter of accept
ance:
1.-THE suggestion that the Union can be maintain
ed by the numerical performance and military
proves of section exerted to coerce the other
into submission, is, in my Judgment as selfcontra-
dctory as it is dangerous. 1t loaded with the
death-smell from fields wet with brothers blood.
If the vital principle of all republican governments
is the consent Of the governed much more does
union of co-equal sovereign States require its
basis the harmony of its members and their volun-
tary cooperation in its organic functions"

No one can forget the chastsement administered
to Sumner for his abuse, by Mr.. Brooks of South
Carolina. There was man, however, in this coun-
try, who could denounce in speech at Taunton,
Masss., the course Of Mr.. Brooks as Ian act of
lawless violence. of which know no parallel in the
history of constitutional government" yet had no
other than words of praise and approval of Mr..
Sumner and his speech. That man soas EDWARD
EVERETT. Listen to him:
al have condemned from the outset and still
most decidedly condemn the policy of the late adj
mnistrations towards Kansas. | opposed the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill in the Territorial committee, of
which was member. l voted against the amend
ment to the bill by which the Missouri compromise
was repealed With these views of the subject
though, as | trust for reasons higher than any eff
feet on party politics. FULLY CONQUERED in the main
line of argument in Mr.. Summers speech. Abstain
ing however, habtually myself from all personali-
ties in debate and believing that they always rri-
tate and never persuade convince, | could not of
course bestow my unqualified appreciation on the
manner in which he treated the subject"
Disappearing alone of the personalities, Mr.. Ever
EFT fully concurred' in Mr.. Summers assault up
on the south and her institutions, and the lover
throw" of those institutions. Can any man point
out the difference between Edward Everett and
Hanniba, Hamlin? And>ls this the man whom the
Southern people would feel safe in supportingp

Gov. WINsLow.-We learn from the Journal that
the Hon. Warren Winslow addressed the people at
length in Wilmington, on Tuesday night last We
judge from the notice in the Journal, that Mr.. w.
delivered telling and powerful speech. Mr. Winslow
said:
He was no disunionst but he secuted the idea
Of the compulsion coercion of a State. For the
present he thought that in the event of Lincolns
election, the Republicans would be powerless for
HARM being restrained by anti-RepublIcan ma
jority in all the other coordinate branches of the
general government But the time might come, and
that full soon, when the w0Ild be different
when North-Carolina might deem it necessary to the
preservation of her rights and the maintenance Of
her honor to assume separate and independent
position, and call upon her sons to rally under her
banner. Should that day come, he for one would
be found by the side of North Carolina, to whom
his first allegiance was due"

There is no doubt the President has become
thoroughly alarmed. Hitherto he has trusted that,
however threatening the portents might be, the
crisis would not until after the expiration of
his term; but Secretary Cobb, who returned some
days ago from Georgia, has disturbed even this con-
ISOLATION, by informing him, that from the general
sentiment which he found to pervade that State,
there is doubt remaining that she is prepared to
90 with South Carolina, and Withdraw herself from
the Union upon the election of Lincoln that Secre-
tary Cobb would be compelled, by the secession of
Georgia, to resign from the Cabinet and return to
his State
Great excitement prevails here, and the formation
of companies of Minute Men is beginning Gov.
Wise has placed himself in the front of the move
ment, and his great popularity and immense powers
as popular orator will certainly carry the State of
Virginia with the Southern States
Among the distinguished visitors now at the fair
in this city are the Hon. d. NJ Barringer of North
Carolina, formerly Minister to Spain and the Hon.
Kenneth Rayner, of the same State Both are here
in the capacity Of representatives, appointed by the
North-Carona Agricultural Society Richmond

CURE FOR DrPruERrA.-The Cincinnati Press says

CURE FOR DIPTuERIA-The Cincinnati Press says
that
"In the early stages of complaint, which is al
ways accompanied by soreness and swelling of the
throat let the patient a simple solution of salt
and water as a gargle every fifteen minutes. At
the same time moisten a piece of flannel with a So
luton of the same kind. made as warm as the pa
tient can bear it and bind it around his throat
new1ng it as often the gargle is administered, and
meanwhile sprnklng fine salt between the flannel
and the neck. Use inwardly some tonic or stm-
ulant either separately, or, if the prostraton be
great use both together. The treatment, as may be
seen, is extremely simple and, if used in the early
stages of the disease, will effect complete cure"
This disease is prevailing considerably in this re-
gion among children and also in the Western part
of this State. The Hendersonville Prcsdge says:
-Four died in one family, in Cherokee and others
of the same family were very low at the last &C
counts. Two corpses were IN the house at the same
time One little girl was playing about the house
as usual, (although she had had sore throat for
several days, )-she lay down on the bed, and in a
few moments fell off Of the bed corpse. Another
of the same family little boy, died quite as sud
denly, while lying on little bed on the floor. 9th
er deaths have occurred and several others very
low"
