The TcrrOrs Of Submission.

South, which the sublniSsionists to Black Re-
publican domination were so continually draw
e. ing, to "fright us from our proprety," were un-
real and false. We propose now to reverse
the picture, and to show what will probably be
tho consequences Of a submission Of the South-
ern States, to the rule of Abolitionisn-at Wash
ington,. in the persons Of Mcssrs. Lincoln and
Hamlip, should they be elected to the Prcsi-
dency and Vice-Prcsidcncy of the United
StAtes
/. The first effect of the submission of the
South, to the installation of Aboitionists in the
offices of President and Vice President of the
United States, must be a powerful consoiida>
''tiou of the strength of the Abolition party at
the North. Success generally strengthens. If,
after all the threats Of resistance and dssunson,
made in Congress and out of Congress, the
Southern States sink down into acquiescencc,
sthe decentralization of the South will he cosa-
blcte. Add the patronage resulting from the
S6titrel of nincsT.feur thousand Offices and the
expenditure of eighty millions of money annu-
all, and they must bc irresistible in control

Government, whose creed it is, to repeal the
Fugitive Slave Laws, the underground railroad
will become an Foreground railroad. The ten
ure of slave property will be felt to he weak
ened and the slaves will be sent down to the
Cotton States for sale, and the Frontier States
enter On The policy Of making hemselues Free
.States.
&. With the control of the Government OF
the United States, and an organized and TIL
umphant North to sustain them, the Abolition
istssw;ll renew their operations upon the South
with Increased courage. The thousands in
every country, who look mp to power and
make gam out of the future, will come out in
support of the Abolition Government. The
Brownlows and Bolts, in the South. will null
tiply. They will organize; and from being a
Union Party, to support an Abolition Govern
ment, they will become, like the Government
they support, Ab0litionists. They will have an
Abolition Party in the South, OF Southern
men. The contest for slavery will no longer
be one between the North and the South. 1t
will be in the South, between the people of tho
South,

S. Already there is uncasincss throughout
the South, as to the stability OF its institution
of slavery. But with submission to the rule
Of Abolitionists at Washington, thousands OF
shareholders will despair of the institution
While the condition of things in the Frontier
States will force their slaves on the markets OF
the Cotton States, the timid in the Cotton
States, will also sell their slaves. The general
distrust must affect purchasers. The conse-
Quence must be, slave property must be great
" deprecated We zee advertisements for the
sale of slaves in some of the Cotton States, for
the simple object of getting rid of them aud
we know that standing orders for the purchase
of slaves in this market have been withdrawn,
on account of an anticipated decline of value
from the political condition Of the country,
Z. We suppose, that taking in view all these
things, it is not extravagant to estimate, that
the submission of the South to the administra-
ton of the Federal Government under Messrs.
Lincoln and Hamlin, must reduce the valnc OF
slaves in the South, one hundred dollars each.
1t is computed that there arc four million,
three hundred thousand, slaves in the United
States. Here therefore, is a loss to the South
ern people Of four hundred and thirty millions
of dollars on their slaves alone. OF course,
real estate Of all kinds must partakc also in
the depreciation of slaves.
s. Slave property is the foundation of all
property in the South. When security in this
is shaken, all other property partakcs of its
instability. Banks, stocks, bonds, must be III
Auenced. Timid men will sell out and leave
the South. Confusion, distrust and pressure
must reign.
g. Before MeSsrS. Lincoln and HanIln can
be installed in Washington, as President and
Vicc-Presidcnt of the United States the South
ern States can dissolve pcaccably 1--WE know
what we say) their union with the North. Mr..
Lincoln and his Abolition cohorts, will have
no South to reign over. Their game would
be blocked. The foundation of their organl-
zation would be taken away; and, left to the
tender mcrcies of baficd, furious and troubled
North, thcv would be cursed and crushed, as
the taritious cause of the disasters around
them. But if we submit, and do not dissolve
our union with the North, we make the trl-
amph of our Abolition enemies complete, and
enable them to consolidate and wicld the pow
or of the North, for our destruction.
TO- If the South once submits to the rule OF
Abolitionists by the General Government, there
is, probably. an end of all peaceful separation
of the Union. We can only escape the ruin
they mediate for the South, by war. Armed
with the power of the General Government,
and their organizations at the North, they will
have no respect for Our courage or energy, and
tbey will use the sword for our subsection. If
there is any man in the South who believes
that we nust separate from the North, VIC ap-
peal to his humanity, in case MIR. Lincoln IS
elected, to dissolve our connection with tho
North before the 4tll OF March next.
IL. The ruin of the South, 10y the emanc'-
eaton of her slaves, is not like the ruin OF any
other people 1t il not a mere loss OF liberty.
