free trade of nations, and the disastrous conse-
quences which would ensue to the North having no
longer a protected market for her manufactures.
Northern manufactures would be completely ex-
cluded from our market by the successful compe-
tition of the cheapIy produced merchandise
Of Europe. We would longer pay premium
to Northern manufacturers. But he was willing
to this for the sake Of the Union under the Con
sttution. The South could afford to give of her
abundance to the North and SO long as our rights
were respected he should be glad, and advocate
that it be done.
All we contended for was equal rights under the
Constitution. In the event of separation the North
would very soon become suppliant for treaty
stipulations which would secure to her the ad-
vantages of our commerce.. The Northerners
would become the best save-catchers in the world
for fear of our disastrous displeasure, which
would ruin their trading and shipping interests.
So far Mountaineering or stealing negroes as now,
runaway would be unable to get ten miles into
the North, so sedulously active would they be in
| catching him and taking him back to his master,
lest the injurious hostility Of the cotton supplying
and merchandise purchasing South be incurred.
| He prayed that the conflict which now seemed
impending might be fought at the ballot=box. He
| did not plead for the man whom he would fain see
| elected. He hoped that partisan opponents of the
/ South would not plead for theirs But that all
/ would manifest the same willingness which
he felt TO unite upon the most likely to win
the battle at the ballot box That man was
John G. Brccknridge, as any calmly-think-
| ing man must, in his opinion, grant. He
| did not think, and he had enjoyed extended
| advantages of observation, that Douglas had one
chance in one hundred of getting an electoral vote
in any State If the South is beat in New York,
it will be because of Douglas men not going to the
polls OR voting with Black Republicans. The
efforts of fusion in different States was everywhere
prevented, as far as possible, by Douglas, who
told his friends not to fuse under any circum
Stances no matter who might be elected by theil
4 course.
Mr.. Bell would not get Northern State. Della
ware was quite as certain for Breckinridge as Ala
bama was. So was Maryland and so was Virginia
month ago Tennessee would have gone for Bel
by several thousand majority, but it will go fol
Breckinridge by at least five thousand. Kentucky
and Missouri are doubtful States. Bell may carr,
them, but there was reason to think otherwise
: He had travelled through the different State
and gave the results of his personal observation
exclusively.
Mr. Yancey closed with stirring appeal to South
erners to unite upon one man, that the South nigh
present an undivided front to its opponents, an
elect him il we fortunately have the aid of NeY
York. We have given as full synopsis Of his ad
dress as possible and it covers, in brief about th
whole ground of speech more than two hours i
length. We give the tenor, but not the very elo
quent language, of the gentleman's exceeding
