Mastery Inacliyitx.

The Republicans of this county. pre-.
vious to the State election labored with
double the zeal, and four times the un-
scrupulousness they ever exercised before.
The result was the largest democratic
majority ever given at State election.
Since then their mouths have been dumb
as the wounds of Cesar. What effect
this species Of tactics will have will be
known in day or two. Our own opin,
ion is that after raising the excitement
they may say "down, down." but like
Banquo's ghost, it will not go down.

WASHINGTON, Friday e.--Many con-
servative men here, who have heretofore
treated the apprehensions of disunion with
levity, now admit their serious fears, and
have surrendered all hope. Great excite
ment prevails here. Senator Wigfall cal
led on President Buchanan yesterday, and
notified him to make up his mind as to
what course he would pursue in the event
of secession, as he would have to meet the
issue aolens volcns The venerable Pres.
ident exhibited evident alarm, and will
advise his cabinet at once on the subject.

Inquiries are frequently made about the
cost of the New State House, dimensions, &C.,
which few are able to answer satisfactorily.
The last report of the State House Commits
sioners shows that the total cost of the build
ing up to November Is / S59, was 81 ,346, Lot, 20
To this sum should be added $4,000 appro-
priated last March, making 1862 LOG, 20. The
building was completed on the first day of Oc-
tober last. ss
Ihe State House is 304 feet long, 1S4 feet
wide, and its hight to the top of the cupola
150. It's corner stone was laid on the 4th of
July 1888, and ever twenty years has been oc-
cupied in It's construction. A good deal of the
stone work was done by convict labor. -Beitair

Morris stated that Old Pete had beaten
Old Abe, whereapon Dr. Stevenson said
it was false. For this reason, and be-
cause the Republicans generally under.
took to prove that Abe was only II years
of age when Cartwright was elected, Mr..
Morris wrote to friend in Illinois for
the facts. This friend sent Morris letter
to Cartwright, who wrote to Morris as

Beginning to Acknowledge the Danger.

The Republican papers, which have all
along affected to ridicule the talk ofseces.
sion and dissolution at the South, in case
of Lincoln's election, are beginning to ac-
knowledge the danger. The New York
Tribune, in its stock report of Saturday,
says:
"The excitement in the Stock market
continues, and at the First Board to-day
was intensified to an anextraordinary degree,
and there was more Of a panic about the
market than zoe haze seen since the AUTUMN
|of 1851. Prices were worked down up
on nearly every stock upon the list, and
the disposition during the early part
of the day seemed to be to sell at the 6rst
bid made. Il looked, in fact. as the
brokers had made up their minds that the
Union soas about the same as in fragments,
and that self preservation required that
each of them should .'stand from under"
las the structure gave way. At the close
of each call there was slight recovery
from the lowest points touched, and the
morning session closed with steady feel

To these may be added the Eve southern dis
tricts in Illinois, the two members in Califor

making, in The free States, at least thirty six,
with chance of others in New Jersey, Wis

more if he should be elected, will oppose the
Republican party. The House will thus stand:

This gives majority against the Republi-
cans in the House of eleven, as it consists, in
all, of but two hundred and thirty-seven men,
bers. The United States Senate-which meets
after the 4th Of March-will also contain a
majority opposed to the Republican party. If
so unfit, inexperienced, imbecile a man as Lin
coin should, unfortunately, be elected Presi-
dent, he would meet both Houses of Congress
opposed to him at the beginning of his admin
istration, and would be unable to carry through
any Executive measure. There would be a
deadlock, an unfriendly feeling to begin with,
between him and Congress. As it is noS GER
tain that both Houses Of Congress will be op-
posed to Lincoln, how foolish for any Ameri-
can citizen to vote Cor president who cannot
accomplish anything, if he should be chosen,
