initiate the example of those who llvea
in the earlier days of our republic. "A
lifelong devotion to our country is
now no passport to Office. The people
have been harassed, deluded, and
excited by cunning politicians until
they are stupefied. They are ready TO
give up in despair, and let the govern
ment be entirely controlled by those
who made politics their trade.
For the honor of st. Mary, we will
say that we do not believe there are
ten honest sensible men in this parish.
of any political party, who do not
deprecate the idea of keeping up the
divisions which have been so disastrous
to Southern interests in the presidential
canvass which has just closed.
The Gazette and Sentinel, Ibefville
parish says:
We perceive many prominent gentle
men of the Bell and Everett party
enlisting heartily and enthusiastically
in measures of defence, and we cannot
doubt that any material diversity of
opinion can exist in the parish as to the
entire propriety of our citizens organic
ing armed forces for self-protection, in
view of the Government going into the
hands of a party friendly to servile
instruction, rapine and murder-and
the ablest of whose statesmen, but few
weeks back, spoke boldly, in case of
the success of that party, of disband-
ing our army and navy as useless, tit
only to prevent successful revolution in
the slsya States.

- The following remarks with The various
extracts from the different Journals at distance,
we copy from the N. o. Daily Picay une Of Sunday
last. The Picayune says:
The opinions heldain the various.

enc are#of deep interest to
every Southern man. While all slave
communities agree in The fact that the
election of Lincoln to the Presidency
is an outrage upon the South, and is
so full of menace to her constitutional
rights as to produce great anxiety and
to render preparation for any future
evil necessity. SO different are the
plans of action, SO various the views
in regard to the first duty imposed on
these States, that the utterances of the
press, so far as they give reflection
of public opinion, become the most
interesting feature of the current news
of the day. We consequently present
extracts from the leading journals in
several States on the great question of
the day. The Raleigh Register vehe
mently opposes disunion under any
circumstances. The Raleigh Press, on
the other hand, thinks there is no hope
for the Union The Goldsboro' IN. c.
Tribune says: ''The Republican victory
of the North sounded to our ears like
the death knell of this United Confede-
racy."
The Richmond Wing opposes seces-
sion and disunion, and thinks Virginia
acknowledges fealty to the consti-
tuition, and regards her own honor too
highly to favor extreme measures before
they become the last alternative. In
