we are opposed toviolence and dpreeipitation.
Violence never does any good, and precipita-
tion generally Injuries those itwas intended
to benefit. If we were on the eve of revolu-
tion--if dissolution of the Union. is immi-
nent, the counsels of calm men should pre- 7
vail, and discussion only should be allowed
TO weigh in the determination of a mighty q
question. The question of revolution is the
weightiest question any people were ever
called upon TO determine, and 1T they deter
mine it successfully, they must go to work
and consider it dispassionately.
Hackneyed officeholders and hot Drained
| politicians must be kept In the background.
| The whole people must move en- 1Idsse; and,
to stimulate them as they should be stimu-
lated, with q consciousness of right and per-
feet reliance, their confidence in their lead
| ers must be as unhesitating as 1t is unquali-
4 fed. This great object can only be'aehieved
in one way; for strong minority can always
| thwart and always will thwart, the efforts
Of the majority, unless they are duly and
fairly represented. This point, we suggest,
is worthy the deepest consideration!aii. i..1 |
The Northern people, in electing Lincoln, |
have perpetrated deliberate, cold-blooded |
insult and outrage upon the people Of the |
slayeholding States. Further than this, the |
election has been conducted by their orators
and presses upon platform Of inextinguish-

The New Orleans Bee hopes that South
4 Carolina will be checked by the conserva-
tism of the other. States of the South. It
calculates that all the. Bell men and some Of
the Breckenridge will be willing to await
J forther developments of the purposes of the
Lincolnites. 1t says: a'Jh
Those States, with the possible exception
: / of Virginia, are staunch and faithful to the
. Union, and even the Old Dominion herself,
though tinctured with extreme dogmas, will
% assuredly combine with them in frowning
down the "percipitators.n, We believe that
, every one Of them contains an oyerwhelm-
ing msiority Of Union men, The citizens
9 of the South, who, on Tuesday last sup
T ported Bell or Douglas, are, emphatcally,
friends of the Union, and determined to
o maintain their allegiance 70 i 20 long as
IL grace, which is equivalent to saying, SO long
as they are not the victims to insupportable
n grievance and oppression. Many ofrthe
N partisans of Breckinridge think with them,
