The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-11-14
BALTIMORE.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER ID. 1860

In connection with kilograms, extracts
from our Southern exchanges &c., we publish this
morning letter from very intelligent and care
full correspondent now at Savannah. 1t will be OBJ
served that he gives an account as an eyewitness,
of scenes which have been already reported by
telegraph, and that his report both of the facts
Transporting and the feeling which invoked them,
substantially agrees with our previous advices.
That large portion of the South is deeply terri
bly, in earnest, cannot be concealed, and
although at this distance and perhaps even upon
the spot it is impossible to anayze and classify the
impulses operating upon the excited masses there
is no doubt that their expression, so far, IS
fearfully accordant How much of that expression
is abstract and positive dsloyalty to the national
Governmenl-how much, the clamor of politicians
too deeply committed to retract-how much, the
Indignation of those who believe themselves griev-
ously injured and threatened in the election O.
LINCOLN, by the Northern States and the inaugur-
alton of a Republican administration "ha', the

we shall certainly not undertake to determine.
1t cannot be deemed improper, however, in
us to express a belief, which we certainly
entertain, that the apparent unanimity for
extreme measures which might strike a tray
eler along the great lines of travel and in the
centres of population is deceptive, and that when
any practical measure of extreme consequence is
proposed not even the people of South Caro-
lima, much less those of less excited States,
be found all, or even nearly all, on one side. 1t
seems therefore absolutely necessary 10 await with
what patience we may, the Developments Of
the next few weeks, before undertaking to ad-
wise expression or action here, of any character
ANY course taken without clear conception OF
the true nature of the crisis to be met is certainly
premature and, therefore, unwise. Even unsea-
sonable demonstrations in behalf of the Union,
may render the Union, which we all so profoundly
love, more difficult of preservation By the vote
which Baltimore has just given, she has shown to
the South the willingness of this people to concede
to her, and claim for themselves, the extreme
limit of constitutional rights. No new
assurance need be offered that point. On
the contrary, as there has not been sim
gle expression, from q single press in any
part of the State-uor a single voice raised
within her borders in favor of secession
here or elsewhere-a demonstration at this
juncture, Of special loyalty to the Constitution and
the Union, would, at best, be superfuous. Il
there be among us any feeling too much in ac-
cordance with the extreme position taken
by the South, such a demonstration would be the
surest means to call it out, and to create al
agitation here, altogether unnecessary and inexpe
dent. 1t is asserted that the PRESIDENT o
the UNITED STATEs-who cannot be supposed
to be ignorant or unmndul of his obliga
ton to see that the Republic suffer no detri
ment, will issue proclamation in advance o

doubted that n4.- document will be of a conserva
tive and reassuring cnarsuter and ia nromuloa

those who may feel DESTROYS of expressi~g the
sentiments in the present crisis. To strengthe
the Executive, if true to the Constitution and IL
laws denounce it, iffilse will then be an obie
worthy of the attention of our citizens. Shoul,
however, no such paper be put forth, as " "'N
