The End.

There is no longer occasion for argument or
expostulation. We have only, after the battle,
to survey the field, and carefully count our
losses and gains. Whatever may come -alld
trouble in one shape or another is sure to come
the trade and material interests Of both por-
tons of the Union will be affected with an in
ctfable disaster. But the North will suffer by
far the most. 1t must have the sugar, the rice,
and, above all, the cotton Of the South. In
consequence Of the result Of the election, the
greater part of the cotton crop this year will
be held back, and shipped directly from South
ern ports to England. Bankruptcy and starSa-
ton will be the issue among the manufacturing
maits Of New England. The loom and the
anvil will be silent and motionlcss. The dcre!.
optnent of our national resources, which have
| within the memory Of living men been "dvanc-
cd from an almost i~Inperceptible point to 4 con-
dition not to be surpassed by those OF the hrst
| powers Of the world, will be in = great mee-
| sure arrested. The nation will pass through
the Red sea Of q thousand evils and perils.
1t is useless 10 tell US that MIR. Lincoln is by
nature. and the force Of circumstances, mode
rate and conservative. Granting this xtrava-
giant postulate, how long, we pray would a
tremendous Northern Abolition pressure allow
him to remain so: How long would ten States.
that have nullilied the Fugitive Slave Law, and
that have been most influential in procuring
the election of Mr. Lincoln, allow the compro-
mise of 1850 to stand: How long before the
enthusiasts Of New England would organize 4
grand scheme for promoting q wide spread ser
vile Instruction throughout the South:
We are on the cyc OF great events. Mode
ration, wisdom, decision, patriotism, were new
or so much required to alay the fury OF a ris-
ins political tempest. Let us hope for the best;
let us prepare for tho worst 81. Louie BuAe'

It'll LAST VI OCTOBER.

It was late in mild October,
And the late autumnal RAIN
Had let the summer harvest fields
AL green with grass again;
IT,. tir>t sharp frost had fallen,
Leaving oil the woodlands gay,
With huvS Of Summers rainbow,
Or meadow flowers Of May.
Iu-na.h a thin dry mist that morning,
Tie sun rose broad and red:
AtiiiS: a rayless disc OF fire.
II frightened as it sped
Yet even its noontlde glory
Fell c~ha.tened and subdued
On The corrtields, and the orcnaras'
Aud softly pictured WOOD
And all that quiet afternoon,
Slow Slopins to the night,
Il wovc with golden shuttle
The haze with yellow light;
s)an,.d through the painted beeches,
Il r~lufltied the hill,
And Dsnrath it pond and meadow
Lay brighter, greener still.
And shouting boys in woodland haunta
Caught ~glunp>es Of that sky,
F!eckcd hy the many.tinted leaves,
Aud laughed they knew not why:
An Sc'IDi girls, gay with aster flowers
Beside the meadow brooks,
Nun lid the glow Of Autumn with
Tnr sunshine of sweet looks.

The President in Favor OF n Convention
OF all the Stntes.

The President begins to talk about disunion,
and, in order to avert that calamity, on Satur-
day expressed an opinion in favor Of Il Conven-
ton, in which all the States are TO be repre-.
scented. This suggestion has been made in Ger
tain other quarters, and is based upon the tx
p~ectation o! several guarantecS-nne "f which
is to include Il distinct recognition Of the right
of a State TO sccrde from The Union, about which
there seems tn 30 some difference. Among
other guarantees are the repeal Of the State
laws interfering with the execution Of the tugI.
tive slave law in certain Of the free States, and
such r recognition Of the right Of shareholders
to carry their property" into the territories rs
will enable them to hold them there until The
people come TO form State Constitutions; n dis
tlnct provision against the abolition Of slavery in
the District Of Columbia, without the consent
Of Virginia and Maryland and, ais', a pledge
that the inter-slave trade shall not he arrested.

Mr. Mullins of Marion, followed, and said
that South Carolina had tried cooperation, ont
lad exhausted that policy. The State OF 'lr-
cinia had discrcdlted the cause winch our COM
,Hn;ssioner went there to advocate, although she
treated him personally with respect; but She
had rs much as said there were no lndlgnl,leS
which could drive her TO take the leadership
for Southern rights. If We wait for co-opera-
ton Slavery aud States Rights would be aban-
doned, sovereignty and the cause OF Southern
Rights lost forever, and we would be subjected

Of the moor Indian under the British East India
Company. When they had pledged themselves
n take the State out Of the Union and placed It
upon record, then he was willing to send a
Commissioner to Georgia or any other South;
ern State to announce our determination, and
to submit the question whether they would

" that the reprcsen' tive of one OF the lmpc-
