preservation Of our National and State in
stitutions, whereby are guaranteed to us the
rights and privileges of freemen.
And above all let us greatfuily rejoice in
that salvation which He has revealed to us
in the Gospel of His Sen, Jesus Christ.
And when at the close of this anniversa-

BELLOWS FALLS, NOV. 16, 1850


Immediately on the receipt of the new;
of Lincoln's election, in South Carolina ant
a few other places in the Southern States
secession became the order of the day, and
Tor week past we have been RECALLED with
dispatches from the South, that this and
that thing had been done, and that several
federal officers had resigned but in most
instances, it has proved that their resigna-
ton was a mere pretense and sham.
South Carolina is the hot bed as usual.
They have called a convention which is TO
be held next month, and all sorts of in
ilammatory speeches are made.
But the most peculiar part Of all this is,
that while South Carolina has writhed her
self into such terrible secession distress,
she has all this time injured nobody but
herself. Her State Bank has suspended
specie payment, and the panic which they
have thus created, has destroyed the credit
of the State, and thus bit off her own nose.

TO do when he was not drawn out of the

We are not for disunion, but we sincere
ly trust nothing will be done TO hinder the
Palmetto State from enjoying that blissful
state of isolated independence which she
has so long agonized for. Let her 20 out
of the Union if she wants to, or in other
words let ber do with herself precisely as
she likes. Can she find fault with that !?
ltappears from the Post Office department
that it cost the federal government 100000
over the actual receipts Cor the transporta-
ton of the mails in that State. Out Of the
Union and she coald no longer expect us TO
pay her post route expenses. This, there
fore, weutd be so much gain to the United
States. If the cotton States secedc, they
cannot Of course expect US .northerners to
hunt negroes " escaping from one State TO
another There will be another saving.
IN fine, we shall be entitled TO the same
pririleges South that we are in other ma
lions, which would be a great improvement
on the past and the present tine A South
ern republic formed, and our northern cit
liens could take their passports and travel
there with no fear Of being mobbed. for
OF course our own government would pro-
aect its citizens there, same as they do in
'oiher countries, and that would be some-
foing which has never yet been. We can
not extend this article further, but may we
not look forward with bright hopes as the
fruit of SECESSION

a great measure by the Duglasites,) will be
over 100000; and his majority over every
thing, more than $4,000. That is a nut
for South Carolina TO crack.
Northern Illinois has sent down 1900
majority for Lincoln for Egypt to chew up
on, and 25,000 is believed TO be the best it
can do for Douglas, while not as much as
that is expected. The republican MAORI

two years ago, when the republican state
ticket was elected by 5000. The demo-
Gratis save their five Congressman by narrow
majorilies Richardson and McClenand
barely squeeze in, in the Quincy and Spring
field districts, where the majorities two years
ago were 5000 in each. 1t is possible yet
that Gillespie (republican) may be elected
over Fouke in the 9TH (Belleville) district.
The Legislature is sure republican, the re-
publican legislative tickets even running
ahead of lincoln in the doubtful counties.
Alton and Springfield, the residences of
Trumbull and Lincoln, for the first time
give republican majorities.
The republicans carry every county but
one heard from in Michigan, and that one
gives Douglas only thirty votes over Lin
coin. Their majority thus far amounts to
2l,S7S, and viii go up to 25,o00 with the
full result. The legislature approaches
almost as near to unanimity as our own in
Vermont; Senate, so to 2, House, 20 TO
10. And yet the republicans think they
might have done Title better, and almost
regret they hadn't, that their majority might
have turned 10000.
Lincoln's majority over fusion in New
York has been rising every day, and has
now turned that point of $4,000 which
doubtless saves in many republican BETS
