Opinions OF Southern JournnIs.
From the Raleigh On. C) Register.
For some days to come, we can DO but
little more than chronicle the returns Of
the election which was held yesterday
1t would be idle now to speculate on the
result All that we can do is to hope
that, no matter who is elected, the peace
and tranquility Of the country may be
preserved, and the supremacy Of the
Constitution, and the laws passed in pur-
suaucc of it, may be recognized by every
citizen. No matter what the result OF
the election has been, vast deal Of mis-
chief has already been caused by the
threats, in certain contingency, to dies
troy the Union and Government. IF the
threat to destroy the Government is pro-
ductive Of injury, rsLat wiR be produced b.
the crecUtioR Of that Threat? But the con
sideration of dollars and cents, important
as it is, is triAing when compared with
the other evils which an attempt to dis
solve the Union cannot fail to bring upon
MS. War, in the most dreadful shape in
which it can be waged, will be the re-
suit Of this attempt. And all for what?
Al on account Of question which can
never arise for practical legislation =
Citizens Of North Carolina, think of these
things.
From the Norroll, (ya) Herald Nov. 9.
The election of Mr.. Lincoln in itself
/ is not calcula ted to cause any alarm at
the South, and, indeed, the probability is
that he will administer tho government
with strict impartiality; or, if anything
be more rogardful of the interests of the
South than Southern Presidents usually
have been; but it is the idea which he
representative deep.soated enmity of
Southern institutions, which has shown
itself ready to overlap the barriers Of the
Constitution and trample on the rights
of the Soulful is this that Justly wabens
the solictudo and alarms the jealousy Of
the Southern people; and they find it
difficult TO reconcile themselves to wait
and give his administration fair trial
But, nevertheless, it is proper that they
should do so; and let us hope that they
will.
From the Richmond Wing.
To the Brecllinridgers led on by Yancey,
and to the corruptions of the Buchanan
administration, we attribute the election
Of Lincoln, more than to the influence OF
the Slavery question. Iancey and Bu-
chanan have done the deed! Would they
only have to meet the conscqucnces--
But these will fall upon the country, and
upon each individual citizen. We pray
Heaven that the country aud they may
pass them unscathed.
Because the Union was created by the
voluntary consent of each Of the original
States, it does not follow that such con.
sent can be withdrawn at will by any
single member to the compact, and its
: obligation and duties, its burdens and dc
mands be avoided. A government rest
ing on such basis would be as unstable
as the ever shifting sand. The sport OF
every popular excitement the victim OF
every conflicting interest, of plotting am
bition, or momentary impulse, it would
afford no guarantee Of perpetnity, while
the hours being round the circuit Of Z
single year. To suppose that a State
could withdraw at viii, is to brand the
8 Statesmen Of the Revolution, convinced
Of the weakness and certain destruction
of the old confederation Of the States, 70
laboring to perpetuate the evil they at
tempted to remedy. Their work, whcl
has been the marvel Of tlc world, would
, be bitter mockery of serious obligations
and nothing would exist to invite tn,
confidence of citizens or strangers in it
] protection.
From the Wilmington (N. g Herald
All this, we say, is ill-timed, and The
indulgence Of similar remarks can do M
nothing but harm. The parties who arr
! here charged with encouraging and in
! viting" the movement at the North
} might, with propriety, retaliato upon Their
Aceusors, and lay the responsibility al
r 0eir doors, by charging them with use
| less and criminal agitation of the Slavery
question. But we trnst that the palpa
be and suicidal error of such course on
the part Of either, will prove sufficient
check on both. There are some very
: good Southern Rights men who arc not
+ yet prepared to give up the Union. In
0 fact, the Disunionists arc greatly in The
: minority, and have failed to satisfy th,
I world that they possess all the wisdom
