m. ron,e.led cround OF the south.

Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten
nesee and Missouri must go hand in hand in the pa'r-
o,c effort to elect man, who stay the mad tide OF
n.,icsm South as well as North. Should Lincoln unfor-
unately be elected it will be idle to doubt that much
indignation would seize the Southern heart-not so
much perhaps at what he could would do, but be-
cause il would be regarded by Southern brethren as
the triumph of seetiouasm which may eventually bring
other and worse evils in its train.
There strong hope that Lincoln may be defeated in New
York Since the disastrous results in Pennsylvania Ohio
and Indiana and the Outspoken dsuniOn sentiments as
avowed by the leading Southern journals the friends ofhe
Union in the North must all see the imperative necess
" Of common and energetic effort to save that State
from the ianaieism surgng all the other Northern
States; and we confidently hope that she will yet be the
rock to dash back those mad waves.
But a. we have often said BEFORE there are far greater
evils than the mere election Of any man to the Fres'-
deney and one Of these is the hasty and 'preeiPi-
tate" action which some Of the Southern States may be
advised to take, upon the election of Lincoln.
One of the ablest and most conservative papers Of the
south says, mos. truly
"Mr Lincoln even it elected can do no harm at pre-
sel The Supreme Court is against the theories OF his
p,rty. The Senate IS against them and the Congress
lin be against them. There 2S7 members OF the
Uouse-Oregon aud California send three against him.

elect three other an,Lincoln members and all Is sale
New York alone wi. elect six
How important is it to prevent any hasty action on
the part Of our Southern brethren How can this best
be done.
Let Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee North
Carolina and Missouri give such vote on Tuesday next
a. will convince their Southern sisters that they do not
intend 70 Quit the Union merely because OF the election
Of Any man to the Presidency. Let those States give
the Breckenridge disuniOn ticket such cold comfort as
TO satisfy all that until direct and actual legislation
or executive outrage is committed by the President
thew will not invite reality full OF horrors, solely TO
prepare against an evil that nav come upon them
Let them give no eountenance to such uirasts as Yam

LincoIn,, defeat almost Certain.

We maintain that Lncolns election is not certain by
Jug full-that his chances growing Simmer every
hour and every minute-and that with vigorous pros
ecution of the the part OF the conservatives
Of the North for the next few days. he can and will be
irretrievably defeated.
Four years ago. people at the North claimed, aud peo-
pie the South feared that Fremont would be chosen
President as it is claimed and feared that Lincoln will
be, now. Yet Fremont was defeated, and instead Of
presiding over the nation at Washington is digging gold
at Marposa; and year hence, Mr. Lincoln, instead OF
sitting in the White House. dispensing eighty millions OF
patronage to his hungry adheren may be quietly prac-
Using his profession at Springfield.
In view, then, of the constantly increasing probability
of Lncons Defeat and in that event. of the certainty
Of Bells election let our friends in Virginia redoube
their efforts in behalf Of Bell aud Everett and carry the

should arrest attention that heyaare all Demoerats-the
men who have agita,ed without eeasng, and for party

p,ss,ge of the Wilmot ProyisO for which Yaneey him
self voted-he very men whose policy gave birth to the
Rspubican party and engeudered all the sectional strife
which now endangers the Union. This IS an important
fact and should suggest 70 every sensible and honest
man the question whether the party that has ever been

to cap the climax of their political uiqu ties by involv-

Democrats can see the fitness Of the remedy proposed
