We devote considerable space this
week to extracts from Southern papers,
relating to the secession movement
We think there is very powerful par
ty in the Southern States, who earnest
ly desire separation from the North
But we think we can see a moderated
tone on the subject in many OF the lead
ing journals down there.
The Missouri Democrat is conserva-
tive paper-and really desires the main
tainance Of the Union, but expresses
apprehension and the fear Of the substi-
tuition of another line from that which
now divides parties. The Richmond
Enquirer seems inclined to resist coer-
cion by the Federal Government.

EHE SOUTHERN EXCITEMENT.
WAsuINGroF, Nov. l9.-Neither the
official for private intelligence from Mex
leo warrants the belief that there is to
be any immediate improvement in the
condition of affairs there.
MR.. BRECKENRIDGE TO BE CALLED OUT.
Strong appeals will be made from
Kentucky and the conservative interest
in other Southern States, for Mr.
Breckinridge to attend and address the
South Carolina Convenvention next
month. As he was the candidate of
that section, and enjoys its confidence,
they could not refuse to hear him if he
should consent, and in that way the
judment Of the people might be reached
be reasons they will never hear if a
Convention is permitted to pursue its
own reckless course.
Mr., Bell is understood to be prepared
to give the influence of his name and
counsel to any proper Union demonstra-
tion in the South, and would doubtless
co-ope: ate with Mr. Breckiuridge in an
endeavor to arrest the projected reuolu.
tions schemes of the Secessionists.

Our good friend Hon. Stephen Miller
with CLARK w. Thompson, Presiden-
tial Electors, is now in Saint Paul at
the Merchants Hotel, where will he
remain till after the meeting Of the Elec-
toral College on the 9th ofnext month.
We are grati6ed to learn that Mr. Miller
is in good health. We often feared the
arduous duties Of his position as one Of
the Electors, and the earnestness and
resolution with which he entered into
the late canvass wonid sensibly impair
his health which was not good in the
outset. We rejoice to know that our
fears were ungrounded. He remains
good for the .cansinued championship
Of the good cause so near his heart.

PLANS OF THE DISUNIONIsTs.

COLUMBIA, S. B., Nov. 5, 1860
The Legislature met to-day. There
is an evident disposition to act instead
of talk. The Legislature organized
and received the Governors message
Therein he suggests that the Legislature
should, in view of the threatening as
Pect ofaffairs, remain IN session, and
take action TO prepare the State for the
crisis. He earnstly recommends, in
case Lincoln is elected, and immediate
call Of a Convention to determine the
mode and measure OF redress. He says
he, Individually, considere secession
the only alternative left; that the indi-
cations show the secession of South
Carolina would instantly bring about
that of the entire South; and that if the
General Government attempts coercion,
our solemn duty is to meet force; and
he promises TO carry out the Conven-
tons decision duriug the remainder Of
his term, regardless of hazard He re-
commends military reorg anization, and
that every man in the State between the
ages of eighteen and forty-fve should
be armed by the State with the most
effectual weapons ofmodern warfare. He
recommends raising Immediately tel,
thousand volunteers, to be n readiness
at the shortest notice, with other pre-
parations, concious that we are contend
ing for our firesides. We may, says
the Governor, trust our cause to the
keeping Of the Supreme Disposer Of
events.
The message was made the special
for Tuesday noon, and the Legislature
adjourned.
The conviction Of the necessity OF
secession is hourly gaining ground
The federal officials of Charleston are
said to have their designations written

completion Of the Charleston and Sav,

Buchanan was toasted as the last Of an
ilIustrious line.
There is the greatest enthusiasm for
Southern Coniaderacy. Every hat
has cockade, and-all minds are re-
solved to fight.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 5-l2 p IN.
A caucus was held tonight, at which
it was a certained that large majority
of the Legislature are for immediate
secession by State action.
An immense crowd assembled his
evening, at the Congarce House, anC
serended Senator Chestnut. He spoke
long and eloquently, declaring the las
hope of the Union gone and resistance
unavoidable, The peech was enthu
siastically received, because Mr.. Ches
nut was hitherto uncommitted
1t is rumored that Senator Hammond
will follow suit
Messrs, Bonham, Rhett, ex-Goyerno
Adams and others spoke also in the sam'
strain.

The Hon. ADRIAN LINCOLN, who
will be the President elect of the United
States, in a speech delivered at Leav-
enworth, Kansas, last winter, used the
following language:
You Democrats greatly fear that the
success Of the Republicans will destroy
the Union. Why' Do the Republi-
cans declare against the Uuions Moth
ing like it. Your own statement Of it
is, that if the Black Republicans elect
a President, you won't stand it' You
will break up the Union. That will be
your act, not ours To justify it you
must show that our policy gives you
just cause for such desperate action,
Can you do that' When you attempt
it you will find our policy is exactly the
policy Of the men who made the Union
nothing more, nor nothing less. Dc
you think you are justified to break up
the Government rather than to have il
administered by Washington, and other
good and great men who made it, and
who first administered it' If you do,
you are very unreasonable, and more
reasonable men cannot and will not sub.
nit to you. While we elect Presi-
dent, it will be our duty to see that you
submit. Old John Brown has beer
hung for treason against State. We
cannot object, even though slavery is
wrong. That cannot excuse violence
bloodshed and treason. 1t could ayai
him, nothing that he might think him
self right. So, if constitutionally we
elect a President, and therefore you
undertake to destroy the Union, il will
be our duty TO deal with you as Old
John Brown has been dealt with. We
can only do our duty. We hope and
believe that in no section will majority
so act as to render such extreme meas
ures necessary.

HOME AGAIN.

From one ofthe river towns, we took
the Steamer War Eagle for St:Paul.
1t was a bitter cold night-the 23d
instant. There were goodly number
of passengers on board, all congratu-
lating themselves upon the good fortune
of having reached the river just in time
for the last trip of the latest Steamer
for such indeed it proved to be. And
the War Eagle, upon her arrival in St.
Paul. the following morning, spread her
gilded wings, and. turning away from
the thousand snow-birds of the chilly
North. plumed her flight for less icy
cline. 1t was bright, cold morning
that we landed in the Apostolic City,
and the houses, yet in hoary frost, gilt
tered like gems in the early sunlight =
The Sauk Rapids stage coach had just
left. and we were disappointed enough;
for we had hoped to be at home ere the
rising of another sun. But as frequent
ly happens, this seeming misfortune
proved blessing in disguise. A short
half hour afterwards found US at the far
famed Winslow House, St. Anthony.
There the three days we had antici pat
ed spending in WEAKNESS and waiting,
passed so pleasantly in the most agree
able and delightful company, as to leave
US no regrets for the unavoidable delay.
So we'll known is this favorite resort
to those in search Of good health and
pleasure, that it would seem almost su-
perfuous to add our testimony in IA
vor of its genial comforts and elegant
appointments. Although we knew that
it was unsurpassed this side Of New
York in its style and in the complete
ness of all its arrangements, yet it gave
us pleasure as Mnnesotian, tFat this
House Of which we are all so proud,
should receive from visitors extensive
ly travelled both at home and
abroad. the palm over all Western Ho-
tells. The gentlemanly proprietor, Mr.
Mclean, and his winning lady, seem
gifted with the charm of rendering their
House, at all seasons, unusually attrac-
tive. Messrs. Darrow and Bartlett, Of
ficers in the establishment, are always
polite and attentive. Among all servi-
tors Of the household, there is never
lack of accommodation and care. Dur
ing the past summer, the Winslow has
been filled to overfowing with Southern
visitors, many Of whom are expected to
return the coming season. With such
delightful home as this house affords
in the midst of scenery so beautiful and
grand-in an atmosphere SO exuberant
and purc-it is not surprising that
Southern and Eastern visitors should
come not once, but many times.
We are pleased to be once more al
home. having enjoyed an agreeable Wis
it. We found little Arthur all smiles
and tears, declaring his happiness by
saying repeatedly he liked the day SC
well, he did not know what to do with
it. With improved health and renewed
hope, we seem to have touched upon
the fountain ofyouth. We have reason
to hopo for an early continuance Of q
correspondence with old friends.
