Significant Indications--Read, Read,
Mr.. Buchanan and the South.

MIR. Buchanan and the South.
From the Charleston Mercury of the e.,h.l
If Lincoln is elected President OF the United
States, the relations of the Southern States
towards has Administration must be settled
by the present. Administration. Mr.. Lincoln
will not be installed in Office before the fourth
of March next. Long before this time, the
Southern States will have determined their
course; and If this course shall be secession
from the Union by one or more Southern
States, Mr.. Buchanan will have to guide the
course of the General Government to meet it.
If he thinks that State has right to sece,le
from the Union. of course he cannot order
sny portion Of the United States ermy or
tempts coercion, every Southern man in his
Cabinet, and in the army and navy, will
doubtless leave them. Congress has no pow
er 10 control the Presidents views of the
Constitution, and the duty It involves. He
must, az the Chief Executive of the United
States, act for himself; and enforce his own
conscientious conceptions of the rights of the
States. under the Constitution of the United
States. Ifthey (Republicans) shall
by their aggression and sectional domination,
drive one or more Southern States out of the
Union, Mr.. Buchanan will not shed the blood
of wronged and inOffensive people, who
seek their safety by separation from their
aggressors and prosecutors. This is our
opinion. whether it is right or wrong, should
In no way affect the course of the Southern
States. They should pursue that course
which, in their opinion, their rights, inter-
ests and honor demand; and as to the rest,
be prepared to meet the consequences, what
ever they may be. For the speedy formation
of a Confederacy of oil the Southern States,
the best instrument. we believe, will be the
sword.

LINCOLN be elected and any Southern State
or States secede? We have not examined the
record to ascertain what views, if any, have
been expressed by Mr.. BUCHANAN upon the
right of secession; but our recollection is,
that, in the controversy of 1850, his sympa-
thies were with the Southern fre-eaters and
nullifiers. Ne DO not doubt that his sympa-
thies are with them now. and that be would
be willing to be the lsst OF the Presidents of

Houston and House.

We take especial pleasure in publishing
this morning a list of appointments, made by
the Executive Committee, for Messrs. Rrs-
SELL HoUsToS and JNo. F. House. Celebra-
ted as Tennessee is for the ability and re-
search displayed in the political debates OF
former years before the people, We are sure
the discussions of these gentlemen will be
unriValled in interest. Either is competent
to cope, in the tourney intellectual, with our
most able and experienced leaders. and all
who may have the good fortune to hear them
will acknowledge that they never enjoyed a

will turn ont IA nsasse TO greet these worthy
champions of the Union and the Constitution.

Bell. Perhaps the record, TO which he ap-
peals, may account for his conduct. In the

rs, 1854, Mr.. Bell in reply to Mr.. Toombs
said:

the course of his remarks yesterday, thought
proper to declare that / had become the ally
of the abolitionists of the North. ] have
this to say to the Senator in reply--lf the
honorable Senator meane TO say that in vot-
ing against the Nebraska bill, in company
with the sbolitionists, was their ally-and
to that extent only was their ally; if ii was
his object, in making that statement, to let 1t
go forth to the country for effect among the
people, that be had boldly said to my face in
the Senate, that had become the ally of the
abolitionists, then have to say to him that
1t was an od captdndum argument, as unjust
to him as it was to me, and worthy only of
the shaliowest and lowest demagogue. If he
meant to say that had become the ally OF
the abolitionists of the North in sympathy,
feeling, or by any concerted arrangement,
then l have TO pronounce, that be stated
what he knew to be false"

BRADY against Fusion.

The Republican papers are rejoicing over
the fact that Mr.. BRADY, the Breckenridge
Yancey candidate for Governor of New York,
made speech on the 25th nit. at Albany, de-
nouncing DouoIAs and declaring against fa-
sion. 1t would seem, from the following
note to the N. 7. Express, that BRADY was, on
that occasion, In the HANDS of the Republic

~ A correspondent OF the New York
Herald, travelling in Georgia, transmits the
following:
Returning from brief but searching visit
TO the Interior plantations, your correspond
ent has arrived at these conclusions:
l. That the Northern people labor under
the grossest ignorance In regard to the rela-
lions of master and slave on the plantations.
2. That intense excitement exists in all the
isolated districts in regard to the movements
of the abolitionists of the North.
8. That the agricultural population is ripe
for revolution and separation.
4. That if Lincoln be elected, men can be
found ready to go to Washington, and by
force prevent his Inauguration. And,
s. That there already exists an armed
league, pledged to this and other purposes,
hostile TO Eincoln's government.
Startling ss some of these conclusions are.
yet there are frequent grounds for believing
them warranted by the facts.

Prom the Washington States
The Dfsunfon Programme,

War DOES IT MEAN IA despatch from
Washington announces that seventeen thous
and stand of arms has been ordered TO Fert
Moultrie, South Carolina. As the garrison
(Only three hundred) Is already well supplied
the order may we'll create inquiry as TO the
wherefore. Perhaps Mr.. Clingman's coming
North has somewhat to do with this Southern
march of muskets and cartridges"
We copy the above from New York Jour-
nal. Sometime ago we called attention to
the probability that the United States fortifi-
cation in the locality alluded to would be va
Gated on some fimsy pretext. We regarded
such an act as part and portion OF the dis
unionist programme to get possession OF
these forts, and there make q rendezvous of
those who were in the league with Yancey
and Breckenridge to precipitate the Southern
States into revolution. We called the at
tentlon OF the government and the people to
1t, warning the former against being either q
willful or ignorant tool in the hands Of the
disuniOuists, and exhibiting to the latter the
Infamous plans which were being concocted
and carried out to desecrate all they held most
dear. BY permitting such action, the Presi-
dent would be focile princsss in the dread
conspiracy against the peace and prosperity
of the Union. 1t Is to be hoped that, instead
of permitting his personal feelings and AMI
mosities to lead him into the camp OF Yaneey
and the fire and sword propagandists of the
United League OF SOutherners," he would
jealousy watch every movement tending even
remotely to break up the Union he Is sw orn
to protect. He is agent of the people; and
the people will demand that he return to
them uasullied and undisgraeed that which
they entrusted to his hands.
When We, on a former occasion drew pub
lie attention to the ''army orders" touching
the fort at South Carolina, we were met In 3
more satiric than serious manner. The Char
lesion Mercury especially desired to laugh off
the suspicion. 1t was natural for 1t do so,
and we can excuse its anxiety to divert in
quiry from the subject but 1t Ia not SO excu-
sable in those who are entrusted with the
forces OF the Republic to use them in a way
which shall be detrimental to the interests of
the Union and the prosperity of that Repub
lie.
The additional Seventeen thousand stand
of arms" for Fort Moultrie, IL a fact, de-
mands explanation. In the event of no sat-
isfactory reason being given-and we see
none that can-we must regard 1t but as
another development of the plan Of the pre-.
cipitators.
In view of these Indications, It bebooyes
the whole national element OF the country.
by virtue of the bsllot-box, to put the enc
mics of the Constitution into that imbecile
obscurity where they will be powerless
against the glory and perpetuity of the
Union.

~ question:.
JOHN HARDY, of the Selma Sentinel, being
in Nashville, has been introduced to Mr.. Bell.
and he says of him
He speaks in the highest terms of both
Douglas and Breckenridge, but has no use for
Lincoln-he believes the election of Lincoln
would be the most dire calamity that could
befall the country. While / say Mr.. Bell Is
not the man for me, my objections to him are
not based upon the ground that believe him
unsound upon the slavery question--so far as
the institution of negro slavery abstractly is
coDcerned-he is as favorable to it as en- or
any other Southern man.
Such is the universal testimony of all con-
scientious men who have seen Mr.. Bell, or
who have impartially examined his record
that he ia perfectly sound and reliable upon
the great question.--Aon.gomey (Ala.) Post

CHANCES TO BELL.-We learn from cor
respondent of the Savannah Republican that
at the conclusion of Col. FL. K. Jackson q
speech in Lagrange, three breckenridge men
for Bel, almost solely on account of Jacksoa's
unfounded charges Of unsoundness against
Bell The honest people are disguised with
such recklessness on the part of Breckin-
ridges supporters. We hear also that Sem
ator Toombs converted 200 from Breckenridge

cry where he goes.-Aigusta Chronicle.

Gov Johu.on.. speech.

The Union and American understood Gov.
JOHNSON, in his speech on Broad street, on
Thursday night, not to condemn the secession
at Baltimore. We think he did, and more
emphaticaily than he did that at Charleston.
Who shall decide between us: viii Gov.
JOHNSON furnish to the press his remarks on
this subject, that there may he no misappre-
hension about IT.

all of which generated into a perfect fever
near wien if was announced that Breckin-
foge and Clay would speak at Owingsville.
I me speaking commenced by the Vice
f.esident, who spoke for some half an hour.

ne mad been to the mountains aud addressed
ine people. At this Douglas man asked
I'm wnetner ne had answered the Norfolk
questions, TO which he made no reply. He
then went on in vindication OF his position
on the slavery question, and OF the platform
| on which he stands. He closed amid the an
/ plause of his friends.
de was followed by J. 3. Clay, who started
/, out by pitching into Bell and Everett for be-
ing unsound on the slavery question-Eu ersa
nc eailsa a" ola-cnd-on oSolH;snisf! This waa
more than the Bell men could stand. so they
asked him, did Breckenridge think so last
#interT' and - What about those old Whig
cohorts OF the Norfh?v To all this he could
make no response. From Bell and Everett
ne pitched into Douglas and Johnson; then
me real fun commenced. Question upon cues
ton was then put to him by the Doug las men.
which made him 30 mad that he scarcely knew
what he was saying, and created shout upon
shout for Douglas. interspersed with personal
denunciations, such as, what! you, four
year cd, coming to Bath to teach us democra-
cy?' together with other terms. His speech
reused all the pent-up feelings Of the Douglas
and Bell men. He was followed in q short
speech by johnson, Of Ark, one of the seced-
ers from Charleston.
Alter he was through the most yociferous
shouts were raised for MAJOR Mason, and
cheers upon cheers for Douglas. The Major
responded in one of the most whitening and
scathing speeches he ever made. Conscious
that be was right, he spoke boldly, eloquent
ly, and defantly. lie answered all the lead
Ing points that had been made by the other
speakers, together with some points raised by
persons in the crowd with view of embar-
RAISING him. 1t was late when he finished
his speech, but the crowd stuck to him to the
last, and made the welking ring with shouts
for Douglas.
The Wing also says:
In his remarks on Tuesday night in Owings-
vile, Major Breckenridge expended a good
deal OF breath fol- nothing In apologizing and
explaining why he was at the West Liberty
barbecue. He said he certainly should not
have been there but for the fact that two
personal friends had pledged him to the peo-
pie that be would be there, and that when
ID a rule always to redeem ii II it were at all
in his power to do SO.
Major Mason got the distinguished gentle |
man very badly on this. He reminded him |
and the people that "a friend" and one of /
his head Electors In Virginia, had pledged him |
to Douglas and to the people of Virginia that |
he tBreckinrdge] should answer the Norfolk |
questions which Douglas had then answered;
that it seems this is no memorable rule with |
the Major, since be utterly failed so far to re-
dem the pledge of his Virginia friend, and |
when the whole country, too, is DANGEROUSLY |
demanding that ne should redeem that pledge. |

AIR. DICKINSON TO ME-. JONES.

DINGHAAfTOS, Oept. ~, lS0U.
DEAR SRI am favored with yours OF the
18th inst, accompanied by copy of
resolutions which / introduced into the
Senate of the United States In December,
IS47, aud extracts from a speech which /
made upon them in that body in January fol-
lowing, and inquiring whether | still adhere
to the same opinions therein expressed. Ny
answer is as follows: The resolutions related
to two subjects: the acquisition OF territory
and its government. That relating to the
government of territory was intended TO pro-
pose an anti-sectional policy, upon which all
natiOaal minds could unite in opposition to
the proviso which was then disturbing the
peace of the country, and that part of the
speech which discussed this resolution was
directed to the same end. l, therefore, say
that for all the purposes then presented, and
under discussion, / fully stand by the resolu-
tons and speech as a whole, though upon SO
comprehensive subject no particular ex-
tract does entire justice to my views. The
doctrine since established by the bred Scott
decision was left by me entirely in allegiance;
but stated in general terms, in several parts
of the speech, that the territorial Legislation,
which / proposed, would be exercised, of
course. under and in allegiance to the Cons.i-
tuition of the United States. The line of ter
ritorial right under the Constitution had not
then been defined, and regarding it a judicial
question did not express any opinion upon
it.
Had the question of the present day been
presented / should doubtless have said more,
though L am not aware that | should have
said less, or have spoken otherwise than did,
upon the question then under discussion.
Sincerely yours, ID. S. DICKINSON.

this meeting and they all coroborate each
other In saying that 1t was one of the richest
