The Secession Movement.

We imagine that some of the Conservative
aud Cn'on-lovins people Of Louisiana would
like TO know the reason why some of the
BecknT'dSc and Lane papers in the South
support that ticket. as the said papers them
selves state it. The reason is. in some instan-
ctS not a little suggestive and curious.
The Charleston Mercury. the well known
secession organ Of South Carolina, which re-.
.ioicet exceedingly when the Democratic
Party burst up at Charleston. which lluuui.
mated it's Office in honor of the event because
it thought il saw in the circumstance. the
beginning OF the programme of events which
should finally result in the dissolution of the
Union. openly asows that it supports Brcckin-
ridge and Lane because they are the nominees
of Sectional Southern Conreniiou. 1t sun.
ports them because they are not national -
That is All interesting admission. That is a
peculiar reason to give for the support of
what the Breckenridge papers hcrcabouts
fscetiotlsly call the only National Ticket. -
But the Charleston Mercury is not the only
paper that puts forth d,sunion as it's avowcd
reason for supporting the Breckenridge ticket,
by any means as, cur rcadr,s shall see for
themselves. Among the ardent supporter,
of that ticket Is the Camden Gala Register,
and we ask the Union Democrats of Louisiana
to read the following from recent article
from its columns:
I'VE run up our flag to-day for Breckin.
ridge and Lane the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice President Of the United
States. We have unwaveringlv contcnded
for the last len yra'S that it would be better
flor all concerned. 70 make tro ar more DIS
tnct governments of the territory comprising
The United STATES of 44mer.ca and that such
will ultimately be done, there can BE- no sort
of doubt; but it should b. done with fair
hess and justice to every section Of the Union;
and Jr9isr'ng that the party to mhich ne belong
IS the only rcliablc one to cary out his measure
and to secure to our own section all her rights,
VIC intend to battle for its principles to the
fullest extent Of durability"
What do the friends Of :" the only national
party candidates think Of that F.! The Reg.
lister thinks it would be better for all con
cerned 10. make two or more distinct Govern.
ments y" or more is well put in-of the
territory comprising the United States of
America, 80 aud believing that the party to
which it belongs is the only reliable one to
carry out This measure" it throws itself with
might and main ,ntD the breckenridge camp!
But here is st III another Brcknridge paper
on the nature of the present canvass that is,
If possible. yet more significant and Sugyes.
tive of the real 'nodus opcrand, by which the
running Of Mr.. Breckenridge may be made
to accomplish the object desired. We quote
rs follows from the Montgomery Mail, n
secession paper published at the Capitol of
Alabama and ono of the leading Breckenridge
journals of that state
Run three Presidential tickets against Lin,
coin. thereby giving Lincoln the best chance
for election. After Lincoln is elected, sonic
Southern communities most of them Der.

session of the office. Then the United
States authorities will be inlerposed to en-
force the laws Then the United States au-
thoriticS will either be shot down. or they
VIII shoot somebody down. Then the people
OF the community will rise up against the
United States Government, and will be sus-
tanned by neighboring communities, until!
civil war, with all it's horrible hutcheri,s en-.

What do the business men of New Orleans
the planters and mechanics and professional
men of Louisiana. say to this ? How do they
like the picture above drawn Of the effect Of
running Mr. Breckenridge, and thereby. If
possible giving Mr.. Lincoln the " best chance
for election Z" Is there not a wheel within
wheel in this matter? Is there not little
red wheel running that is for the present
kept in the background and somewhat cover.
I'd up?
In this connection. it is extremely peril
nent to call up the letter Of Hon. Vim. l..
