SENTIMENT AT THE SoUTH.-We Ind IN Ihe Ncto-
Haren Register the following letter from gentleman
in Alabama to family friend in Ne waven. Its author
ia a Union-Ovipg, conservative man, though not a
member Of the Democratic party. Thousands OF COM
muncatons of the same purPort are written by people
at the South 10 their friends in the North We repro
duce this Alabama letter. because it is temporarily
written, and obviously states the facts; q, ,ooo
"a, Ala, Oct. "a, 1860.
"Ten days from this the people Of this country will
be called on 10 decide whether the Government is a
failure or not / fear, should Lincoln be elected,
there will he dissolution Of the Government My mind
has undergone great change since l was IN New
Haven. South Carolina will secede az certain az Lin
coin is elected and all the cotton States will follow
" Let there be one drop of Southern blood split aud
every Southern State viii be ready to ayonge it.
Some months since, thought there would be no with
drawing Of any State until after some overt act OF LIN
coin and his AdninistrstOn-but Alabama, Mississippi
Arkansas South Carolina, and Florida, viii all with
draw. Our State has passed resolution, that in the
event of Black Republican being elected, the Cover
shall convene the Legislature; and our Governor
and large number Of representatives elect, are III
favor Of resistance Most Of the Governors in the cot
ton States are of the same mind Now there many
conservative men here, but when the South becomes
involved in difficulty with the General Government,
they will not only sympshise but take active part.
Not one in a hundred viii take sides with the General
Government. / write this my opinion, and
you take it for what 1t is worth. South Carolina
making preparations, by recognizing Ter militia, and
many have put the cockade upon their hats ready 10
march directly out of the Union. Some at the North
may laugh at the idea but the passions of the people
are aroused.
"Why, who compose the Black Republican party OF
a large majority Those who are willing 10 ndorse

holders. All this nHames the public mind. Then the
manufacturing of Browns pixies, the distributing
geIic in large quantities 10 the negroes, telling them 10
poison their masters and take their msresses for wives
telling them that all this ia warranted by the laws Of
God and the Bible-saying that when the Black Re-
pubcans elected the negroes are 10 be freed. Tue

DO you zee the drift OF al this? Now, how do you
expect 10 keep people conservative, when AL these
things are brought 10 bear upon theml All here know
full well that as soon as a dissolution takes place, all
kinds Of property will decne but they think that AZ
Ter that is over, il will rally again. For my part,
do not want 10 zee these States separated but the
North is TO blame for it all. Had she lot the South
alone, we would now have been band OF brothers.
