BY +. q. Bchre, Esq.-Thc day we celc-
bratc-Wc can now only cherish it for the
past. May we soon be able to greet it as the
natal day ola Southern Confcdcracy.
By Edward Davis. E>q.-Col. VIM. L.
Nanccy, Of Alabama May he live to be the
first President of the Southern Cunfc,lrracy.
AT the celebration at IlcndcrSonville, in
the same State, Mr.. Robert X. Sncsd a lead.
ing Breckenridge man. proposed the follow
ing toast:
The election of Old Abe Lincon-,he
shortest way to a Southern Concdcracy.
And the toast was drunk amidst shouts of
applause.
In the course of the same month. Mr.. John
Driver, of Alabama, addresseda letter to
Gerrit Smith, the Ab5litionist. which was
published in tie \. i. Times of August Dist
last. .t,,lfat ktter Mr.. Driver. after stating
tire points Of diff renee between his opinions
and those Of Mr.. Smith on the subject of
slavery, morally considered, used the follow.
my language:
But we concur on one point, a separation
OF the free and slave States into distinct
Governments. Last winter Alabama passed
law without dissenting voice, that in the
event of Black Republican President being
elected. she would dissolve her connection
with the Union. This is the sentiment of
every cation State, and they all unite with
Rcr. When this is done. all the other slave
States vii. follow immediately, if obedience
is attempted to be enforced, and ultimately
any how. To EFFECT THIS OBJECT, WE TIE
