with him freely upon the probable results
Of Iiucoln's clecti on at the South. MI.
answer to tho direct question:
What course would be pursued at the South
on the happening ofsuch adj event? is given
as follows:
Mr.. Stephens undoubtedly an attempt
at secession and revolution. have viewed
with painful apprehension the approaching
crisis for years past. Fifteen years experi-
in Congress has qualified nfe to become
somewhat intimately acquainted with the
temper and feelings Of our people; and am
beyond doubt that, in the. event Of
Lincoln's election, there will be at least an
attempt at revolution. There will be
blood spiIt-some may be hung; but that
the attempt will be made am certain.
cannot foretel the end but Ihold revolu-
ton and civil war to be inevitable. The
demagogues have raised whirlwind they
cannot control nor stand before and, as
much as deplore the event, cannot close
my eyes to its consequences.
The above are the views of one Of the
ablest and most conservative of the states
men Of tho South, who has steadily and
faithfully opposed the mad policy which is
likely to bring such calamities upon the
the country. His opinion is entitled to
great weight, and to sober, serious consid-

AMOS KENDALL ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. ~.
The Washington Constitution of the 18th
contains letter from the venerable friend
Of Andrew Jackson, Hon. Amos Kendall,
which it publishes, to use its own words, "as
an act Of courtesy" The letter il sharp,
pointed, and patriotic. Speaking of the dir
ty attacks made upon him by that paper, Mr..
Kendall says: sit is higher aim than
or self-distinction which induces
me to resume my pen. Sir, it is
sad sight to see the organ ofa Democratic
Administration attempting to establish the
doctrine that it would in any event be =
crime in the President to defend the Consti-
tuition and enforce the laws Of the United
States constitutionally enacted. Disguise it
as you will, your doctrine amounts 10 this,
and nothing less. Already the peculiar Or
gan of notification in the South is recon-
mending secession while Mr.. Buchanan is
still in office, upon the assumption that he
may rot enforcs the laws and defend the
Constitution, which by his official oath, he
is bound to do. Doubtless, the assumption
is unwarranted, though justified by the
the tone of his, acknowledged organ"
The Richmond Enquirer, in an article on
the contingency Of Lincoln's election, uses
the following language:
Virginia can no more prevent tho dissolu-
ton of the Union after Lincoln's election
than she can prevent that election. She
will be rowerles to prevent the civil war,
with all its horrors. Any one Of the
Southern States can, and some Of them aoiU,
involve the whole country, North AZ we'll
as South in the internecine strife of bloody
and desolating civil war. Virginia will, by
majority Of he: people, decide upon resis-
ta nee, while large minority may desire
to postpone resistance for the cover act"
but, hitched as she is to Southern States,
she will be dragged into a common destiny
with them, no matter what may be the
desire of her people. We believe that al
large majority Of the people of Virginia, if
the opportunity Of State convention was
them, would vote for immediate
resistance and common destiny with the
States; and with this belief would
advise the Slave States not to hesitate to
strike an carly blow for fear that Vagina
may hesitate in her duty to the South.
This is rather extraordinary language,
and coming from the leading Breckenridge
paper Of the South, has much significance.
We a2prehcnd if one Southern State goes,
they will all go. The force of circustance
will compel them to follow, But will one

'an, another Breckenridge organ, answers
that as follows:
They who suppose that the election oil
Lincoln will net result in the dissolution of

compelled to go with them. Besides-dis-
