Nothing short Of fac.u.lexpsr;enee eculd con-

very many with whom I conversed upon the
subject, far from anticipating The evil couse-
q1euces to The sSauth which are asc1ihed IN nd
vance to Mr. Linco!n's administration, seem
ra.her disposed TO give Dir. Lincoln credit for
motives ye.3 different from those generally at
tributed to tie party whoee standard bearer be
is. indeed. hh1s heard ardent southern men
express the belief TINT his administration would
be NJ conservative if not more 30 than any Of
his preGects ssors: and that in his sssl to corcsl

southern mind to what was regarded not long

From the location of Norfolk and its intimate
commercial relations with the e:ties. Towns, and
country regions Of Eastern TirRiuis, It il pre-.
sumed that its interests IN slavery ia great, and
that its zeal for tts protection aad preservation
is proportionably intense. No city in Eastern

duce which forms the basis Of its commerce. is
the product of slave labor. It forms The outlet
for large portisn of the trade Of North Caro-

be presumed that the people Of Norfolk would

We hear from well informed Southern pso-
pie that the prevailing cause for difquies in
tho slare.holding, States, is not the fear Of tie
election Of L1scoLs and an invasion Of their
rights, but dreadful apprehensions Of a ssF7ile
insu7cctiop, no matter who wins in the PRES
idental fight. The politicians Of the South
who hevo been 60 industriouslY at wcrk tra-
ducing the Republicans and misreprsseuting
their objects, for the purpose cf stirring up
sectional excitement and hate, tiud that they
have oyershot the mark; and that while the:r
words have faled to impress their hearers as
they desired. the slaves have eagerly seized
upon al their predict ous, and IoH a openly
begin to show a spirit Of insubordination a.d
discomfort which nothing but an unsuccess-
fut outbreak will ertinguish. How should it
b. Otherwise? On every stump, in tveEy bar
room and at every dinner table in the South,
where politicians corgregate, the Slavery
question is staple topic cf discussion. Tie
presence Of the blacks is no restraint upon the
crazy diat1ibes in which Their masters il
dulge. They hear That L1scoLs is an aboli-
tionist Of the deepest dye; that he will wage
M immediate war upon the rights OF the
South; that in The interest Of the Abolition
party, ho will nul1ify OF defy the laws; that es
soon as elected, be will make all the States
free, and much more that the excited imaggint-
tions Of tho agitalors does not fail to invent,
To them this il the truth, as welcome and 81
glorious rs the words Of salvation, and upon
it they hare built hopes and based expecta-
tons which, no matter who wins, will make
themselves felt.
Alarmed By tho events which followed tie
campaign Of 1856, when the whole slaTe pep
ulation Of Southern Kentucky AID Tenressee
was in ferment, and by the direct evidences
Of conspiracy now extending from Norfolk
to Texas, which is to break out on election dag,
the eensible peo pie Of the South begin to See
that their politicians hare carried the system
Of terror to dangerous extent; and That

children that he should fulfill his promises,
yet all these things were overlooked and for

wicked and abandoned than ever. One eve

cross a small creek he fell from the ~foot-log
