But now the absolute certainty of the cleo

election may obvlate all necessity for that un-
happy union which circumstances will certain

election. A united South NAV prevent the
election Of Lincoln, by showing the Northern
people that upon them rests the future exis-

three weeks such union is not effected, in onr
opinion all will be lost.
"Virginia can no more prevent the dissolu-

DIsuvIoy.--Seyeral of the Soul

DIsuYIoN.--Several of the Southern States
are placing themselves on war fotting, and
il Lincoln is elected we shall no doubt see a
strong secession movement in that quarter.
The convening of Legislatures and the calling
of Conventions will be the order OF the day
throughout the South, and a strong effort made
to bring the whole section up to the stan
darl of the !" cotton States,'' and "precipitate
a revolution" Our readers may some of
them consider us needlessly alarmed when
we say that this country is probably about to
experience a crisis more serious than any
other within the present century-but we
think they viii find it out in few weeks, il
Lincoln is elected, and conclude that in agita-
ting this negro question the North has nau-
gurated conflict the fruits of which are both
bitter and fatal. We shall see.-Keeae, N

The FREE NEGRO NoRTH-In many parts
of the North, the Wide Awakes are composed
mainly of Negroes. Lincoln's strength is in
no inconsiderabls degree, swelIed by buck
Negroes; and these are the people that Yam
kee emissaries ask the South to submit to =
But it is not possible that Southern white men
can be guilty Of such baseness-Southern
toouen win not permit it
The day of amalgamation has not come, in
the South. Massachusetts, may mulattoize
herself, and doubtless will--but when she
seeks, with the other Northern States, to ini.
tate the doctrine in the South, by imposing
on US q free negro Vice President the day will
have come for dissolution. The South must
belong to the White Race

Gov PETTgs ON BUNKER HILL MONT
MENTs AND FOURTH OF JULYs-The Breck-
inridge States Rights men of Mississippi had
al rousing time at Columbus this week, and
Governor Pettus made rousing Southern
Rights speech. The tenor of his remarks
led some one to ask him, if the Union should
be divided, what disposition he would make
Of the interest he had in the Bunker Hill
Monument?
He said, "he would give up his interest to
the North"
"And what" said his interrogator, twill
you do with the South's interest in the Fourth
of July?"
"WE WILL MAKE NEW ONE" was the
prompt reply.
A noble sentiment. Southern Rights men,
inscribe it on your banners, and let the rally
ing cry be, "we will make new Fourth oi

cotton, with his entire stock of farming uten-
sis and complete new cotton press. His

the gin of E. M.Apperson, opposite the town,
was burned, together with large amount of
cotton About the same time the gin of a
Mr. Patterson, back of Helena, was burned.
All up and down the river we hear of similar
fires. There appears to be system about
these burnings, aud we are inclined to believe
that they are set on fire by travelling incen-
diaries.

We condense the above statement from a
table of the States prepared by the Nash
vile Union. Any one can see at glance
what became of the Wing losses. They were
transferred to the Black Republicans. Could
Mr.. Bell get 100000 votes in the Northern
States in November if he had tickets in every
Northern State? 1t is well known that near
ly the whole of the Democratic voters in
Pennsylvania are in favor of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge. We believe he can get more votes in
that State, than Mr. Bell can in every North
ern State. Douglas being out of the ques-
ton, is it not clear that the South should
rally to Breckenridge and Lane?

Bell at the South Will Southern Demo-
Gratis suffer him still further to divide them

come. 1t may be best. If he will speak OF
hanging traitors as he did in Virginia, he
will unite Southern Democrats, not upon
himself but Mr. Breckenridge.

How kind OF our free-negro masters "Only

If the South could be stupid enough to sub
NIT to such an administration as Lincoln's, for
one moment, it ought to be plundered and
