HERE is forlorn Breckinridger The
Montgomery, Ala. Advertiser, Of the 10th Of
November, looks upon Mr. Lincoln's elec.
tion as follows:
"Hencefortb, the Government with all its
patronage and power, will be in the hands oil
the enemies Of the Southern States. We
will have no voice in the election OF Preii-
dent and Vice President--no voice in the
appointment of Cabinet officers-po voice in
the appointment of foreign ministers and
| consuls-no voice in the appointment OF
judges, attorneys, aud clerks OF the Supreme,
Circuit, and District Courts of the United
States-no voice in the appointment OF post
masters and route agents. who will permeate
every nook aud corner Of the country, and
may be Abolitionists-no voice in the impo.
sition Of tariffs and taxes, which will be laid
by Northern svarice TO foster Northern
industry by 6lching from the South her hard.
earned wealth-no voice in the foreign policy
of the Government, which will be directed TO
extend and fortify the Northern States, aud
to circumscribe, weaken, and finally to crush
the South
"Heneeforth the Abolitionists will under.
take to govern States"
Now, if we had the rgbt to utter soothing
word to Messrs Shorter and Read, Of the
Advertiser, we should say they have begun to
cry long while before they are hurt do
they not know that if they stay in the Union,
under Mr. Liucoln's Administration, they
stand more chance for office than if they &c
out iu the cold ? OF course, he can appoln,
nobody in the South but Southern men ; o
course, all Southern men will not decline bis
favors and, what is much more to the point
do not our Southern friends know that there
is quite as much chance for them in the
; future breakup OF parties, as if they were to
; 60 into close corporation OF their own ant
: be eaten up BY their own little factions p

"Is this scandalous story true 4? If It is,
and il has not yet been denied, we call to it
the attention OF the freemsn OF the South
Are they willing to place their free. happy
and glorious section unde. the protection Of

TO say that the whole Of the loyal people Of
The South, would rise up as one man, and put
10 deadly hazard the last drop Of blood in
their veins to oppose the assumption OF any
foreign protecterate, the establishment Of
any foothold of despotism, upon even the
least portion Of what is now our cooDtry."
The St. Louis Evening Necs, says :
"Wh the border Slave States will adhere
to the Confederacy, they will continue to
denounce and protest against the persistant
resistance Of the Fugitive Slave Law at the
North, and the war which the domiant party
at the North is wsging against the institu'
tion Of slavery. We shall resist secession
and treason with all our strength, but we
entreat our brethren Of the Northern States

efforts, by erasing the epactments that
strengthen the secession movement by afford.
| ing pretexts for it,"
| The Columbia South Carolinidn, while
claiming for the South the right TO secede,
and asserting her intention to DO so, says -
|
much mistaken when they suppose that the
Southern States intend TO resist the inaugu-
ration of Lincoln as President OF such States
as may choose to remain in the Northern
Union. They intend no such thing. Lincoln
has been elected 10 accordance with the forms
of the Constitution, and, therefore, any State
that remains in the Northern Union, ander
bis administration, is obligated to command
the Submission Of their citizens TO his rule
The st. Louis Express believes that an sd
dress from Mr.. Lincoln, intended to mollify
the South, would be most inopportune nnd
ineffective. The Express does not consider
the secession movement genuine on the par,
Of the people of South Carolina but look.
upon the treats which come from that State
as emanating chiefly from abtious politicians
The Natchez Courier gives the following
as its reasons for opposing disunion -
"First-Because resistance is treason ant
no iuferior issue can be presented accord
ing to Mr. Yancey.
"Second-Because secession is unconstitu
tional, according to Hon. Sam. S. Boyd.
Third resistance to the resnl
o. an election is cheat those who go int
an election are bound by the reeult Their

ings, at every important point on their road
The Northern Central Railroad, 1873 miles in
length, extending from Baltimore 10 this
place, its Norihern terminus, has, as yet, no
passenger or freight depot of its own, al
though its receipts for tonnage, from this
pont, amounts TO between two and three
thousand dollars per day. or more than from
any other place outside Of Baltimore.
The Sunbury a. Erie Road, which has its
Eastern terminus at this place, connecting at
this point with the Northern Central and the
Shamokin Valley, is in no better condition
This company is, however, making prspara'
tions to put up q building for passenger
depot and ticket Office. This road, when
completed, will be 2sO miles long, and is now
doing paying business. notwithstanding al
uncompleted link of over 100 miles intervenes
nearly midway bstween the two points o.
Sudbury and Erie.
We are aware that both roads have had
aud still have, many difficulties TO surmount
but the business, both present and prospec
tive is such. that longer delay in making
these necessary Improvements is inexcusabls

bers out of their hard earnings. Lottery
schemes and gift circulars find their way
through the mails to every hamlet in the
Union, and We regret to see the press, in
some instances, aiding these imposters in
swindling their readers. A Wilmington lot
terry vender offers US what he calls q rare
chance, and gravely informs US that be will
send US package Of tickets that will Ger.
taiuly have all the Numbers necessary to
draw the prize of $35 ,OOO," the only trouble
being TO have them all on one ticket, and Of
this there is about one chance in twenty
thousand. The circular proceeds to say:
"In this Grand Lottery any one package
can draw on amount equal to 100000, and
whatever prize may fall to your share, will
be sent by draft on your nearest Bank, or in
gold by Adams Express. Our greatest de.
sire is to send it to some one who will have
no objection to give it publicity, so that we
may reap some benefit from it in our sales of
tickets. Should The package we select for you
not draw at least $4,000, pe piH, after the
drd~ings, send you another package, free of
express, in one Of our ertra lotteries"
We certainly should be most ungratefal in
refusing to give publicity to such unbounded
generosity, and therefore give it in advance
fearing, if we waited for the prize. it might
come too late, especially as the same gene.
rous offer is made to every purchaser oil

RE TIE PRol

ey THE PROBABLE RESULT OF THE SEcrs.
SION Acknowledgements indicate that
the troubles and excitement in the South
will end in Southern Convention, which
will recommend, and probably insist on an
amendment to the constitution in regard to
the rendition Of fugitive slaves-snd, if pos.
sible, settle the question of slavery 10 the
territories. The first proposition will meet
with but little difficulty, as the North con.
cedes the rights Of the South on this subject
and will concur in any reasonable amendment
The greatest trouble will be in regard to the
extension Of slavery, by their introduction
into the territories. This will. probably, re-
sult in the establishment of another geogrs
phical compromise line, or the revival of the
old Missouri Compromise line.
The New York Times suggests the propri
ety of the Government becoming responsible
for the loss of all fugitive slaves, which pro
position has attracted some attention South
as well as North. South Carolina is, per
haps, the only State that is unwilling tC
submit their grievances to q convention. but
she must succuub to Virginia, Kentucky
Maryland, and other border States.
