POLITICAL.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times furnishes additional disunion rumors
! Writing under date of the 26th, he says:
1t IS currently reported to-day on what is be-
heved by many to be reliable authority, that seve-
ra! southern States, acting through a secret COM
missioner, have already obtained pledge from Ma
poieon to protect Charleston a free port in case
| of secession
Many conservative men here, who have hereto
lore treated the apprehensions of disunion with
levlty, now admit their serious fears and some
have surrendered all hope. Great excitement pre-
walls here. Senator WigFall called on President
buchanan yesterday, and notified him to make up
his mind as to what course he would pursue in the
event of secession, he would have to meet the is
sue nolens voens. The venerable President exhibited
evident alarm, it is said, and will advise with his
cabinet at once on the subject.
The Washington States and Union of Saturday
evening says:
The indications of great trouble at the South
should Lincoln be elected increases hourly. 1t is
Impossible to disguise the fact that the government
Is IN extreme danger, and that sixty DAYS may find
! US IN the midst of a revolution. We entreat con-
serValVe men at the North to pause before tbey
permit an event to be consummated the announce
ment OF which, we fear, will be the tocsin of dis.
union and civil war. Never before were the South
ern States IN such volcanic condition. Madness
rules the hour The organizing of Minute Men,
tne purchase and collection of arms, the fixed air
OF sullen determination, augur a gloomy future
In the interest of a common country, aye of hu-
manlty itself, we again beg conservatives at the
| North to defeat the election of a candidate whose
elevation will serve pretext for the saddest di-
saster that has ever befallen ChristendOm.
Inc Charleston Mercury of Friday SAYS:
In various portions of the great Empire State of
the South we find the people rising up in their
| might, and proclaiming, Enthusiastically their re-
solVe never to submit to Black Republican domina-
tion. An immense meeting, composed of citizens
irrespective of party, was held in Buena VISTA Ma
ron county, Ca, on the 18th instant. The friends
| OF Douglas, Bell and Brecknridge were numer-
| ousy represented, but partizan preferences were
iald aside, and all concurred in the necessity of i'm
mediate secession in the event of the election of
Lincoln The following resolutions were adopted:
Resoged lst We regard the election of Abraham Lin
coin to the Presidency and Hannibal Hamn to the Vice
fresdency, as an overt act of hostility upon the part
the North and declaration of upon the rights of
the South
I'd We recommend the people Georgia upon the cleo
ton CT Abraham Lincoln being known to meet immedi-
atey in convention, to determine the mode and manner
Of redress
The ashington correspondent the Herald SAYS
Letters received here from distinguished conser-
vatlves In different parts of the South men who
are no aarmlsts, express intense apprehension Of
disaster to the Union in the event of Incons cleo
tion. The disunon excitement, which has been
hltherto attributed to politicians only and slave
holders. Is becoming general among non-slavehod-
ers, White WorkIngmen and mechanics, the impress

themselves by elevating the negroes to their rank
several conservative and highly respectable gentle
men called upon the President on FRIDAY and had
conversation touching the state of affairs. Mr.
Buchanan expressed himself quite unreservedlv to
the effect that the skies locked threateninrIy but
IN no way intimated what course he would pursue
IN case of secession.
The attempted fusion of the Bell and DouoIas
lorces IN Georgia, reported from Augusta by tee-
graph, only indicates to those acquainted with

THE PROSPECTS IN NEW YORK.
The ashingtOn correspondent of the Phlade- |
phia Pennsylranian, says:
81 have seen private, and believed in high quar-
tiers to be reliable estimates, in regard to the vote
o. New York, which foot up seventv-fve thousand |
majority for the Union ticket in that part of the
State below Albany, including only the river
counties, New York, Brooklyn, &c. This, you
know, of course, is where the Democratic maorties
always come from; but the estimates count upon a
large increase over those usually given, while the
leaders at Albany say they will reduce the usual
Republican majorities West | do not, myself, |
profess much confidence; but know that these
estimates come from of the most careful of cal
culators, and his estimate reaches me in such a |
shape as to preclude the idea that given out for
effect. can add simply this: If New York does
not vote against the ra-splitter, disunion is as
certain as that the will rise the day after cleo
ton: | am willing to be held personally to this
prediction"
