UNION COMMITTEE Rooms.
49 Merchants Exchange, n. T. Oct 10, 1860.
DEAR SIR Notwithstanding the recent adverse re-
suits in other States feel entire confidence in the
belief that this State is not lost to the of the
Union.
The advices we receive from reliable sources show
that friends throughout the State are jealous and
energetic strong in the hope that entire success may
be achieved.
This State at the last Presidential election gave
majority of nearly $4,000 votes against John c. Ere
mont, the Republican candidate
The TotiUe 10 the Electors of this State for oppo-
sing the candidate of the Republican party is much
stronger now than at the last Presidential election.
Fremont was an untried IN political life, and
there room for the belief, in view of his South
ern birth and personal antecedents that his Admin
isration would not be aggressive but moderate and
conservative.
But with Lincoln we have no uncertainty; his open
and avowed principles of aggression, his doctrines of
the rrepressIble conflict his hostility to the institu
tons of the South and the issue he has naugurated
between the North and the South, of 'All Slave or
all Free" present him the undisguised enemy OF
the peace and safety of that Union. And 1t cannot
be denied that our Southern brethren are alarmed
and greatly excited, in view Of the recent elections
Who can contemplate the surrender of our Govern
ment to the domination of such ruler, animated by
such principles. and under the influence of the embit
tered zeal OF Sumner, Seward, Hale, and Wilson and
the misled enthusiasts who constitute his party fol
lowers without the most solemn apprehensions as
the consequences, at least TO the prosperity if not
the safety, of the Republic?
In this crisis, duty and obligation rest with equal
responsibility upon you as upon ourselves, and we
appeal to you to join US in our efforts This State
has too great a stake the issue to risk the conse
quancies of placing the country under the control OF
Lincoln his principles, and his party.
With the defeat Of Lincoln all is safe.
We have abiding confidence that when the peO
pie of this State TO vote they will, by large
majority deposit their ballots the side of safety
and the Union.
The result in,Pennsylvania, which may be traced
wholly 10 local causes has not discouraged Oul
friends in this State, but more thoroughly reused
them to the necessity and the determination of sue
! cess
In this State, the Unoin upon the electoral ticket il
| thorough, earnest, complete.
The business of organization is going on in every
| county and district.
| This Committee has been charged with the duty o
organizing Union Meetings throughout the State;
as an independent central power, is engaged in co
| operating to project thorough organization in al
| its details.

Important morement.

4 number of citizens of Louisiana, including
many of the most prominent citizens of this city,
without regard to party have addressed to Gov
Moore, now in this city, petition. requesting him
to convene the Legislature of the State with a view
of taking measures to meet the great political crisis
which now confronts the South The list Of the
signers of this petition includes gentlemen who sup
port Bell and Everett well as those who support
breckenridge and Lane.
They have been moved to this act by motives of n
purely patriotic character. No political managers
or demagogues have had any part or lot in the mat
ter. 1t has emanated entirely from the solid bust
ness men of our State-from men who have large
material and social interest at stake and who feel
that the South is in position demanding calm but
prompt decision, united and vigorous resistance to
an aggressive sectional party, which is preparing to
assume control of the Federal Government, ard to
inflict upon the South the horrors and degradation
of Abolition rule to place these States in the coud-
ton of provinces, to be ruled over by party which
declares as its main object and purpose, the over
throw of our whole social ard political system
Gov Moore to whom this petition IS addressed, is
one of the largest planters and is a gentleman of
Conservative views of great moderation and calm
ness of demeanor but of inflexible irmuess and de-
votion to principle and right. We have little doubt
that Gov Moore's action and recommendations on
this subject will be such as will command the cor
dial approval and united support of all the true men
of the South There are peculiar reasons why Lou
isiana and especially the great metropolis of the
South, should take early and leading position in the
great conflict that now threatens.
The existence in our midst of so large 4 class of
undecided and luke-warm supporters of the policy
and claims of the South is of itself an ample reason
why the majority Of citizens should at once de-
fine and determine the position Of the State.-Ne,g

THE LOT THICKENs.-We have all heard of dis
union plots; let us now tell of union plot.
We understand that prominent Douglas man has
asserted in Selma, that there is or will be an
rangement consummated between the Bell and
Douglas men of the county by which the two par
ties are to secure the Senator and members of the
Legislature in the next August election. We should
like to know it. if it be true, and the people ought
to know it The coquettng between the two par
ties seems to take practical shape, and points i'm
medlately to Office. If the Douglas leaders GO
ing to fuse with Bell. they ought to let the people
know it. Play fair, gentlemen and do not give US
the Kentucky game here in Alabama. In Kentucky,
it is stated. the Douglas man was kept in the field,
to be voted for by those whom it would not do to
entrust with knowledge of the arrangement made
with the Bell men, while every Douglas man who
did understand the game voted for Copbs, the Bell
candidate. trick once learned is of no value af-
forwards.
The object of bringing into this canvass issues
that can only arise after the election begins to be-
come apparent Who plots now? We await fur
Their developments. Well may a Douglas man an
nounce in public speech, that he has well nigh
lost all love and affection for the Democratic party

Mr. GOUGH's ELOQUENCB.-The "Lounger" in the
last number Of Harpsr'S Weekly gives this estimate
of John Il. GOugh:-"The effect produced by the
famous temperance "a t0r upon his audiences is
most striking illustration of broad impression of
the purely dramatic style Of OratOry 1t is another
tribute to the influence and power of the drama
Mr. Cough is not thnker-he is an actor His
pictures of the misery Of drunkenness in its MANY
aspects are vivid and thrilling that the spell over
the audience is that Of the most emotional actor
The effect is immedate and immense, but it is mere
temporary because it has no intellectual root When
Sheridan had finished his speech in the Warren
Hastings trial, and when MOntalembert sat down in
the fast days Of the last Legislative Assembly of
Louis Philippe, after an attack upon the govern
ment il was moved that the Houses adjourn that
they might not cgislate or judge under the sway of
strong passion. Mr. Coughs effects are akin to these
He sweeps all before him. except the paSsionless
reason. That may concede the justice of his cause
but il does so before he begins 1t is not affected bv
his funny or tragical anecdotes. Somebody told Fox
of an eloquent speech he had heard the night before
and l will tell you what he said Stop stOpr ex-
claimed Fox ii YOU can tell me what he said it was
not an eloquent speech. Measured by FOx's stand
ard. Mr.. Coughs elOquence Is supreme For if il
were reported and read. the wO4der Of those who
listened and yielded to its charm would be amusing
For its immediate purpose Of persuading his hear
ers to sign the pledge nothing can be more admira-
blv suited than this extraordinary style speech
When a man who has begun to love the dram-shop
sees the final effect Of his passion upon himself and
his family depicted with terrible power before his
eyes-forced home upon his imagination SO that it
haunts him and frightens him-he VIII IOt stay to
reason or daily, but will hurry seize the pen as if
the signature of his name had secured him against
temptation itself. 4 man who has this power over
others and eXerts il to their welfare and the peace
of society," is certainly human benefactOr. Before
this immence consideration his comparative claims
as an orator disappear, and only the man whom
other generations will bless remains

MIR. Yancey in louisville.

Mr.. Yancey spoke in Louisville yesterday. The
announcement that he would address our people at
tracted more than usual attention thelnterest being
excited. not more by his fame as an orator than by
the attacks OF his enemies and the misrepresenta-
tons Of his political opponents.
Owing to his appointments in the future Mr.. Yam
cey was compelled to speak IN the afternoon, at an
hour that made it impossible for thousands to turn
out who wished to hear him but before the time
named (2:30 P. ny the east room of the Court
House, one Of the largest and finest halls in the
country. was densey packed with those anxious to
listen to the Great Orator. hundreds of ladies, for
whom seats had been provided, being present En-
cept those on the platform. and others provided for
the ladies, there no seats in the hall. from
which thousands. unable to find standing rOOm
turned away disappointed.
Beng introduced to the audience by Gov. MagOflin
he proceeded at once to discussion OF the questions
at issue IN the pending Presidential canvass or con-
neCtcd herewith To say that he was eloquent
would be superfiuOus. for the verdict of all par
ties is that ne is the first orator in the country;
and though evidently tatgUed and somewhat worn

effort W. marked and felt. We heard. on all sides
OF us, declare that his points made clearer
his positions illustrated more tOrcbly, and his argu

nTr. Yancsy at Cincinnati.

Mr.. Yaucey's speech last evening, at Pixies Opera
House, was one of the most brilliant triumphs of
the powers of intellect and soul witnessed in
this any other cOuntry-in this or any other age.
In word hesitate not to say that it was as elo-
quent an Grafton ever fell from the lips of man.
The immense Opera House, capable of containing
from 1000 to 5000 persons, was filled to overflow
ing with fine looking audience of ladies and
gentlemen as ever greeted an orator; and he was
listened to by the vast cOnCourse with breathless
attention. one or two slight interruptions by
a0O1,ded Black Republicans, whose puny efforts
were drowned by the tumutuOus applause of che
approving thousands Even the Black Republicans
themselves generally appeared entranced by the
magic of his eloquence ard the irresistible force of
his logic: and though they may not acknowledge it.
they nevertheless feel in their nmost souls that
Ydncey IS right Those who heard him, uncOnvinced
of this, have neither the soul to appreciate elO
quence. the mental capacity to weigh facts
must be of that class who given to delusion and
who continue in wilfully knowingly.
We shall not attempt to give even synopsis of
this great effort but shall in next issue present
it to readers in all its grand and full proper
tons.
We only regret that every Black Republican in
the country did not hear it, gushing warm from the
orators lips. However, shall present the speech
it spoken, and hope they will take advantage
of the convenience to read it.-Cin. Courier, 2lst
