II any man in the North or any man.
in the South thinks that the election,th
Inauguration, and the Administration of
Mr.. Lincoln, will of themselves produce
any effect upon Tho interests of Slavery,
or the decision Of questions pertaining to
Slavery, then some man in the North
or some man in the South is very much
mistaken, and so he will finl if he lives
much longer. No doubt the uprising OF
a fierce faction against the Government
could not fail to bring about great and
deplorable result, Int these would be
wholly chargeablc upon those by whom
the-movement should be made.
If these designations are tue forcrun-
ners of conspiracy to stop the wheels
of the Federal Government. 50 lar as the
exercise of It's supreme authority IN the
State OF South Carolina is concerned
will James Buchanan, who occupies the
chair of Andrew Jackson, emulate the
energy ofthe great Tennessean,or will he
like craven, cover before the storm and
become affrighted at the mad antics of
those over excited fanatics We have
right to demand, and we have the right
to enforce our demands that the Presi
dent ''shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed" If we are to have
treason rearing It's head among us, the
strong arm Of the offended law must Top
it off, This agitation must he crushed
in the beginning; it will not do to At
temp conciliation, or to hold pariey with
it. 1t is monster of mien so frightful
that the very suspicion OF its existence
disturbs the public serenity. We look,
therefore, to the President with conf
lence that he will do his whole duty
without fear favor, or affection. He will
lie sustained by ninety-nine i'll every hun
lred of the substantial citizens Of the
South. If the Federal officers cannot
crush the treason in its bud, there are
other means at the hands Of the Presi-
dent which must be used quickly and
effectively. His ownleply should be

1t should be rccolIected that the real
dsunionists in South Carolina and else
where have not been made 50 by the c.
lection of Lincoln. 1t is chlonic disease
with them, and they merely seize the
present occasion as favorable one for
advancing their cause among tho dsap-
pointed and exasperated parties of the
South. To these men the dream of a
great Southern and sIaveholding conle l.
cracy, of which they shall lie tue rulers,
has long since assumed reality, which
they earnestly desire and Heartily labor
for. These men cannot afford to wait for
an actual grievance Mt the hands Of tho
General Government, and VIC may be
sure they will add all the fuel they can
to the present excitement. If this class
of disunoniyts control the councils Of
South Carolina, we may look for some
rea! moremcut for secession. But there
is good reason to doubt whether they
are actually in the ascendant in South
/ Carolina, rs ii j certain that they are not
any othcl state. But whatever hap
pens, the fact is not to be overlooked that
this ,irulent type Of djsuniouiSm is older
tI.an The Republican party ly many
years, aud seeks disnnion for It's own
sake, and not merely out Of rcveage or lie
sistancc to alleged sroads upon the inst
tuition Of slavery, Indeed The most frank
and outspoken of this party do not hest
tate to a,ow that they are pressing the
disnnion issue to M immediate decision
because they fear that the Republican adj
ministration will be SO conservative and
national rs to disarm all hostility at the
South, and SO make the bonds of the I'm
ion frmer than ever, and completely ruin
the scheme of Southern Confederacy.

The chapter is finished; the suprema-
CIV of the Constitution is at an end. And
now mon Of tbs South you have done
what you could to prevent this disaster
Bravely have you fought for the COAST
tuition anC the Union under the Consti-
tuition. You have poured out your blood
ike water to protect Northern shipping
and Northern commerce in 1912 and,
Massachusetts replied by enactiag q hill
to imprison you if you dared to claim
your fugitive property on her soil. You
sent your neble-t sous to find bloody
grave on the plains of Mexico, that the
North might gain the Californian empire
aud the North responded by sending
John Browns horde to rayish your wives
and daughters on your own soil, to mas
sacre the brothers of Il csc who fell in
Mexico. You have contributed annually
millions of revenue to build up the cities
and enrich the merchants beyond the line
and New York answers you by electing
a Helperite and free negro to rule over
YOU. Your destiny is now in your own
hands. You were DoWerleSs to save the
