nar Parson B.ownlow calls attention in

D9T Parson B7ownlow calls attention in
the last number of his Knoxville, { Tenn.
Whig to the fact that in that city the Union
vote was $500. while that for Breckinridge
was only S39-a fact very 1attering to the
influence of the Wing. The Parson states
that he has received present from one of
his opponents. He says:
We received small box this week by Ex.
press, from Baltimore marked "priyate." p
We suspected some trick, and SO expressed
ourselves to the boys in the Office, as we pro-
ceeded to open it. Sure enough. it contain
ed dead rat of the largest Baltimore pro-
duction Well, it is likely some Breckin-
ridge man sent it. We receive it as fit
representation of National Democrat, the ia
ther of rats, and considering the one as dead
as the other, we tossed it into the manure in
back alley, where everything with rat to
the end of its name ought to go!

South { arolina--fzer Past History

1t would be well for those locofocos in the
North who justify the disunion demonstra-
tions of South Carolina TO look back and
call TO mind the rast history of that Sire
eating" State. 1t would convince them that
this movement of to-day is not meao one, but
thatshe has taken more decided steps towards
secession thirty years ago, than she has taken
thus far in the present emergency. 1t it is
Lincoln's election tnat drives her to secession
now it was Jackson's administration that in-
cited her to disunion In '32. If they le blam-
able now for supporting lincoln, they were
no less SO than in supporting Jackson. If
the South Carolina disunionists spout trea-
son, and abuse Lincoln, it is not likely that
they can excel their own performances in that
line against Jackson and the Union in 1882.

Secession Inevitable'

A correspondent of the Harrisburg Telle-
graph writing from Washington City under
date of Dec, 9Th seems to think the dissolu.
tion of the Union is inevitable. The CORE.
sponder.t signs himself, Inquirer" and
from the style and composition Of the article,
we are under the impression it is Vein For
ney, formerly of this place, he says:
A week or even day may develope dis
union, aud may it be in shape more horri-
bic than any civil war that deluged any lend
with blood and death. ! have heretofore
believed that the reality of secession would
never be placed before the world for its con-
temptation. My faith in this particular po-
litical aspect has been forcibly changed, and
| can 10 longer douhs the determination oil
the States on the Atlantic Ocean and the
Gulf of Mexico to secede. They will do this
as much TO grove their resolution as to wins
dicate their rights. south Carolina has
already gone to far too recede.
THE UNION PARTY.-Wby is it that the
Union patty has SO utterly subsidized? That
organization was formed for the avowed pur.
pose of saving the Union, yet now in this
time of trouble it appears to be doing noth-
ing for tina. object. 1t received considera-
bic vote North and South and if its member
were as anxious for preserving the confeder-
acy now as before the election, it might do
much towards efectiDg reconciliation, OF
at least of preventing secession in the South
Probably this party is like Inc Democratic,
quite willing TO assist in preserving the Uni
on if it can rule the country, but not other
wise.-Daily Nelcs.

A PATRIOTIC SCENE Florence, the actor,
did little gag" in St. Louis theatre, the
other night, which brought down the house
tremendously. Mrs. Florence had sung and
danced in sailors costume, holding the star
spangled banner, which she tossed to Mr..
Florence at the other side of the stage. He
took it, spread it out carefully, counted its
thirty-three stars aloud, and exclaimed with
deep feeling, "Thank God, they are all
there !" The house rose as one man, and the
enthusiasm lasted several minutes.

THE Richmond (Va.) Enquirer of two CT
three days since has this brief paragraph
+" SoLD-John Thomas, slave TO Mr.. Win.
ter of Louisville, Kentucky. who was brought
here few days since from New York, as a
runaway, was sold on Tuesday, for 500, to
q trader"
Two false statements to four lines is q
large allowance. John Thomas was not a
slave to Mr.. Winter, nor anybody else
neither was he runaway from anywhere
Had the Eaquire7 told the exact truth, its
statement would have run thus:
SoLD.-John Thomas, black man, who
was kidnapped in New YORK, few days
since, was sold for 500, on Tuesday. to a
trader, because he was tlack, and had no
rights which anybody was bound to respect"
ABRAHAM LINCOLN is not now the Presi-
dent of the Republican party. He has been
legally chosen to this highest position in the
United States, and as our Chief Magistrate
he has right Co expect the full support and
confidence of every citizen. No true friend
in the Union can in this juncture act in
a manner calculated to weaken the author
ity of the President, and thus give aid and
comfort to the designs of the disunionists.-
Abraham Lincoln will occupy the chair once
filled by Washington, Jefferson and jackson,
and until he shall in some manner forfeit
public confidence, all must recognize and re-
spect his authority. We trust that no
Northern man, at least, will be 80 unfaithful
to the spirit of our institutions as to obstruct
or resist his lawful acts as the chief of the
whole nation.
