Significant Facts.

Though Lincoln has decided majority of
electoral votes, yet in the popular vote he falls
short of a majority BY more than 100000 votes
thus showing that bis election is due to the
division of those opposed to him. 1t is worthy
of remark, also, that greater vote was cast
against him in the North than the combined vote
OF the South. The vote against Lincoln in the
South will be about 100000, whereas in the
North it will be about 100000. By secession
we would cut ourselves off from more friends in
the North than we have in the whole South.

Hon. VIM. l.. Yancey.

When this gentleman was perambulating the
country 'hyperautinating" in grandiloquent
style about constitutional Union and State
equality" he persistently refused to say what
course he wonld advise in the event of Lincoln
election, but as soon as he could get back into
Alabama he urged speedy and prompt secession,
though Alabama should go out alone. This es-
tablshes the truth of all that has been said about
his disunion sentiments during the canvass =
There were some who were SO yerdant as to be-
lieye him a good Union man.

We extract the following from the last issue Of
the 'Spirit of Democracy" Breckinriege paper
published in New Market, Shenandoah county ::
"Disunion 1.-THE very word shivers along our
arteries and rests like nightmare upon the
brain. Go, friend, before you ask Virginia to
go out of the Union, so burn your house and
home and see how you like this; if you like it,
go kill your negroes and destroy your crops, try
this short time and then, after passing these
two degrees, if you are ready for the third, 60
murder your wife and children, and then crazed
by your own acts you will be in fit condition
to enter into such contest"

D1sUN1oN IN observation-disclosures Disu

DIsUNIoN IN GREENBRIER.--However Disu-
MON in other places may find favor, it finds very
little, if any, here. The general sentiment is to
try Lincoln, and judge him by the acts of his
administration. Democrats, as well as Wings,
are willing to submit. Only two or three Dem
ocrats that we have heard of, are disposed to be
fiery. Many here say, they believe Lincoln will
ger from the North Their greatest fears are
with regard to the South. Old Greenbrier has
ever stood by the Constitution; and if Lincoln
faithfully carries out its provisions she aoiU stand
by him. The Union now and forever, is her
