The Presidential election throughout the Union II
over ard ~ Teople have learned by means OF the
telearspL Il at tie Black Republican ticket headed by
Atraf am Lincoln of Illinois and Hannibal Hamhn OF
Maine as tIlCmpfed.
From tie beginning to the end this has been q Sec
tioual contest. Tie entire North excepting perhaps
tie states Of New-Jersey and Delaware has gone for
tie Black Republican candidates, while the entire
South has cast its strength against that ticket.
We slall NOT now enter upon any argument TO show
what should or what will be the measures which the
Ieople Cf tie South will adopt to preserve their nights
in the Union, or Southern independence out
Of Il Union.
1t will be seen that the South Carolina Legislature is
now engaged in considering the question Of calling
State Convention, with the view Of adopting measures
for seeding from tie Union and armng the State.
Otter States will, doubtless, pursue similar course.
What will be the final result none but lie who watches
over the dosnes of the world and thus far has vouch
safed to us peace prosperity, and happiness fore

have done the deed Would they only had to meet the
consequences BIT these will fall upon the country
and upon each individual citizen. We pray Heaven
that the county and they may pass them unscathed.

The returns received and published yesterday left
little orno doubt of the election of Abraham Lincoln for
the Presidency To-day we publish enough 10 make il
certain. The event il the most deporabe that has
happened in the history of the country. The Union
may he preserved in spite of It, We think it will but
We are prepared TO expect trouble We have already

b. Others of more serious character.
IL Is at least a reasonable conjecture that Lincoln
owes bis elevation 10 the Presidency 20 the divisions
and discoris OF those who opposed him and his
party. Those whose delinquency we may thus ration
ally conclude has produced this deplorable result,
ought not o break NJ the Union for their own fault
