..;..i aacact 10 those threats Of seceesi IN, or
f resistance TO the inauguration and
Naturalization of Lincoln. out OF which some Oh
our o,y papers ara striving TO create panic. Any
,nov.mett Of that htd, as the Brecbinndge men
v.rr well know would prove the destruction, po'
lticaly at least, il rot otherwise, OF aoJ bodSSno
r,;obt ottempt It. Such movement would az
once convert the Northern majority INTO Solid
contract un AFFINITY Ia the event OF any attemp' 10
secsde from the Union or to block tie wheels oil
Iincolr's Administration, even the very Northern
orators and journalists Tow apparently SO faVo'
rsble 10 the movement, wOuld-eTcept perhaps,
THE FJpre,s, whose malice knows no fmit-be
fcremost to derCupce it. Upon the extravhganf
s,pposjtion that tho Breckenridge men, as body'
skopld adopt tho secession cry, they won'd nho
united against them throughout the South, all the
Bell and Douglas men, and 10 addition, q large
Indy of conservatives who ordinarily take but little
interest in politics, but whom this mad proJect
would at cree cali into The field The Shareholders,
as body, would be the last part of the Southern
people TO give their aid to any such movement.
Some Of them-men of the Catlne stamp, deeply
involved il debt, and desperate in their fortunes
might be ready TO engage in it, but not so the well
to do planters Property Is ever sensitive TO great
political cbanges, those especially which involve
revolution aid wsr. OF al property holders in the
world, the holders of slaye property are the most
sensitive and they have excellent reasons for being
80. TIE more they believe in the alleged deter
minat;on Of the Northern people to extinguish
Slavery, the more careful they will naturally be
net to give, by any rash or illegal proceeding OF
their own, any excuse for any movement agalnst It,
Tie stronger the sentiment of tbs Northern people
again st Slavery, the more important is 1t for the
Shareholders to remain in the Union and exert the
influence which their representatives 10 Congress
ard their Presidential votes give them. Slave
holding was never more profitable, slave laoOr
never paid better, than at the present moment.
The Union, 80 far from gi,ng the Northern Aboll-
tionists spy advantage for attacking Slavery 10 the
Sia'es, in isct ties up ihelr hanos. Hence, and
with GOOD reason the ultra AbotiOhists, led BY
Garrison ard Wendell Philips, have always bit
terly declaued sgsrst the Constitution aud the
Union ss placing barriers in the way OF ther
projects. No one would more heartily rejoice than
trey in any secession movement. at the sight OF
it they would cry out, as Cromwell did at Dunbar
1.-THE Lord hath delivered them into our hands.
Fortunately, however, they are destined to be dis
appointed. The election q Lincoln ha7ng shown
that The Northern people are lot 10 be frightened,
will put speedy stop at the present attempts u
alarm them. Even now the Rreckinridge men
show good deal of senstiyeness at the charge OF
being dsunion party. The election over, they
Will hasten to shake off suspicion fatal to all their
future projects. The avOwed disunionl6ts viii
shrink into little faction about as numerous ana
influential a. cur Garrison Abci'ionists, while the
great bulk of the Southern politicians viii be- too
busy in looking forward to new combinations, aud
in schemes for IeGstablishing their lost influence
at the North have any time or thoughts to spare
for disunicn projects. After the storm We shall
have calm.
