GEORGE n. SANDERS ON THE SEQUENCES
OLE SOUTHERN SECESSION.


To The Republicans Of York rho for the Republic
On the 9th of November this grea. nation, in her
never-equaed majesty uters the decree Of her fate
Until the nomination of Mr.. Fremont, four years
since the Presidential election however excited had
never been diseased The disease has intensified in
vrulence during the present canvass. We are now in
the throes of dissolution. Union statesmen from the
South have come North risking position and popularity
at home, to awaken you to Of our common dan
ger, and have returned, feeling that they have made
but little, il any, impression upon you. They have
made their last appeal If you heed them not they will
no longer oppose the disunioniss Of the South In
deed Of the Union speakers that have been among
ne have gone home in despair to take their part with
tn, seceders The patriots of the South have done
their duty. All now remains with the North.
The practical question for your consideration s
whether the Cotton States can secede without the
sent of the Federal Government. Few Of your party
are, believe, Disunionsts in theory; many Of
you would not continue line Of policy intentionally
driving off the Cotton States if in the abandonment Of
such policy you surrendered nothing which you poe
sessed, nor compromised your honor. All that the
Union men of the South ask of you s to lei the South
Alone Why then drive her to desperate acts making
or feel her independent power and then retorng to
er iust complaints that this overshadowug North will
OF be "bulliedl"
If the ultra sections of your party are aetuaed only
by humanitarian motives, why not bravey begin the
war Cuba, where neither constitutional pledges nor
hallowed memories of patriot ancestors forbid, and
where the condition Of the Ethiopian is much below
that of the persons held to service" in our country
If with their orator, Redpah they are indifferent to
the shedding of white blood that the negro is made
his own master why not begin with the blood Of the
foreigner, and CALAMITY throw themselves under the
guns Of Moro Castle Why must our felow-citizeDs
blood be poured out to appease the Congo fetch
Moral responsibility is the only excuse gwen for this
intsrnecne crusade, where not only not the slightest
responsibility exists, but where the invaders sre actu-
ally under the most sacred compact not to NEEDLE.
Mr.. Lincoln possibly, may not commit any aggres-
sye act upon the South il ne shall be elected lie may
even dsappont his party, and form a conservative
Cabinet with such men as VIM. C. Rives at its head.
But the Gulf States will have acted long before Mr..
Incolns Inauguration, and they could not ought not,
TO be influenced By the appointment OF a more con-
servative class than the fair representative of the
succe ssful party The South looks 70 your military
and militant Wide-Awakes TO your banners, your
speeches. your press and your votes and not TO what
Mr. Lincoln NAV say or do after his election. The
South would feel no security in Mr. Lincons betrayal
of his party were that probable. The only voice that
can oughtto have weight with the South is the vote
Of the North
The Cotton States have in every on,evable form
by their Conventions, legislatures, Governors and
CoDessmsn given full AID serious notice that they
would regard the election Of Lincoln sufficient cause
for their withdrawal. do not agree with them, nor
do any of you, suppose. BIT our opinions are OF
no equence they have the power and think them
selves sufficiently aggIieved TO use the power. Any
serious reflection must satisfy an unwarped mind tina.
restrain them if they ehAl resolve TO act
mean ssy that cannot force with any possible
success. Amos Kendall's two hundred thousand men
nay, million-could rot bring back the seeding
States by force, without leaving them valueless;
Mastery inactivity viii be their successful role. No
need Of single soldier against our million. They have
but TO set their negroes TO raising sufficient and
hogs for home consumption, aud it would not be six
months before wonld be at the feet OF the South,
offering through your Republican President Congress,
and State Legislslures, more than she asks with
the humiliation OF receiving scornfal refuea This ID
taking situation st its best possble-supposng that
we will have all the men aud money we require, the
entire North united, aud Delaware. Maryland, Vir
GINA, Kentucky, Missouri, California, and Oregon,
nor will Virginia. Kentucky, and Missouri, with their
tobacco nor California with her annual handred nil
lions Of gold cooperate in any forcibe measures This
great metropolis with ito forty thousand Ani-Repnbl-
can majority far from aiding will be very likely to
declare Eew.Yosk Free City, as the only way 10
maintain its commercial supremacy.
The conservative North has not az yet contemplated
he care with which this gigantic Republic can be dis
migrated Her sons and daughters have been taught
o look upon our constitutional Uni3n structure
.lnost superhumsn in its origin, and iadestruc'ibfs
And with this confidence goes religious veneratlon

the youngest urchn that ruas barefoot after the nag
