Republican Sentiment After the
Election.
What the South may Expect.
COMMENT Is UNNECESSARY.


AT the request of many persons, we re-
publish the following article from the Chica-
90 Democrat. For the information of our
readers, we will state that the Democrat is
the leading Black Republican paper of Hi
nois, and is published by John Wentworth,
ex-member of Congress and for some time
Mayor of Chicago .5#..
The election is over and Lincoln is elected,
by larger majority of the popular vote than
was anticipated, and 10y the electoral vote Of
every free State.
Thus not only has the eousummation which
the fre-eaters of the South have for years
proclaimed as the inevitable prelude to dis
union been attained, but the job has been
done so etfpctually, completely and emphati-
cally, as to leave no doubt that the free peo-
pie of the North meant they should be un-
derstood. When eighteen millions of free
men speak as they spoke on Tuesday, they
make a noise that even the most stupid Sc

Thus the people of the free North say to
the slave oligarchy, ave will endure your
insolence, suffer your Tyranny, bear it'll your
assumption, no longer! We have listened
to your threats, as Insulting as they were
cowardly, of what you would do, if we dared
to carry out our convictions of right, at the
ballot-box, and elect man who would not
bow the knee to you, and who would place
your accurscd institution of slavery where
the public mind would rest in the belief that
it would become finally extinct.
"You have sworn that if we dared to elect
such. man you would dissolve the Union.
We have elected him, and now we want you
to try your little game of secession. Do it,
ifyou dare !! SO long as you remain in the
Union, pcaceably and decently, yon shall en-
JOY your constitutional rights. But every
man of you who attempts to subvcrt this
Union, which we prize So dearly, will be hung
as high as Hannah. We will have no fooing
about the mater! BY the Eternal! the
Union must be presewedT
Such is the lecture read by the people of
the North to their Southern brethren on
Tuesday. And now what will the chivalry
do about it!
viii they eat dirt! VIII they take back.
all they have said about disunion, a Southern
confederacy, the rights of the South, the
blood of their enemies, and all that sort of
thingl What viii the Yanceys, the Rhctts,
the Keitts, the JEFF. Dayises, and all that
noble army of traitors, do To what dodge
will Wise, the doughty champion of the Hay
Stack war, resort, in order to cover his in
glorious retreat! Where is the army with
which he was to march on Washington, and
seize the Federal city!
The chivalry aCiH eat dirt. They win back
out. They never had any spunk anyhow.
The best they could do was to bully, and
| brag, and buster John Brown and his seven
teen men were enough to alright the whole
mighty commonwealth of Virginia out of its
propriety, and to hold it as conquered pro-
vince until recaptured by the Federal troops,
and to this day John Browns ghost is more
terrible than an army with banners, in the
eyes of every Southern cavalier. These
knights of the Sunny South are just such
heroes as Sancho Panza was. They are
wonderful hands at Dragging, and telling fan
tastical lies; but when it comes to action,
count them out. ~
As ii to add the last cap-stone to this alb
surdity of disuniOn buster, the telegraph yes
terday brought us the news that the Legis-
lature of South Carolina on Tuesday elected
her Presidential electors, and that they had
concluded to postpone the arming of the State
until they had ascertained that Lincoln was
really electedl Poor devils The smallest
kind Of knot-hole viii be sufficient for them
I to crawl through now"
