We are not for submission. The South
should not be dependency. The Rubi-
con is passed. We must to action. The

grandly too. Mississippi, South ca oil

From Me Aa.mta (Gd.) Lptelligcnecr.
Many of our felIow-eitizens have
Dreaded the crisis, which would be forced
upon us, in the event of Abe LincoIns
election. That crisis has been passed;
Abe Lincoln elected; the Fubicon has
been passed; the question of secession is
now pressed upon US, and we mus. now
make tie decision. We hope that not
one true-hcarted Southerncr will falter in
this emergency. 1t is 10 time now to talk
Of eypedicacy. The issue is upon us,
al d the only question for ns to decide is
this, shall we submit to Black Rcpubi-
can rule, or shall! we declare for Southern
Independence Is there one of our fell
ow-citizens who will hesitate to take po-
s;tion on this issue Gle that dalIics is
a bastard, he that doubts is damned"
From Tie Ne,c- Orleans Picaytne.
IGthe people Of the States South
would come calmly together, and, agree
ing upon their own exposition of the
rights un err the Constitution which they
deem expodient to their honor and safety,
would unitedIy present them as the basis
of final settlement Of these sectional
questions 10 the North, we still believe
that on that pain issue there could be
found conservatism enough to give us
security and faith in it, which are essen
tiaI parts Of peace. And, before the
proofs of such a combined effort, even
South Carolina would give way to the
lnited coun sells of her sisters. We NAV
be overcredulous in this hope and this
belief; but il is fault Of which We s,lall
never have ground to feel reproach, and
the consequences of which are much to
be preferred 10 the counsels OF utter DIES
ponlency and precipitate rashness.
From The Missouri Democrat,
Nothing but the early pacicaton Of
The disailected STATES can prevent the sub
stitution of another line for that which
divides parties Mt present. The over
shadowing question now being the main
ten, nee, not of the Territories in their
an, rmqI condition. but the maintenance
| o. the Union, the coincidence of the Inc
dividing parties, with the line diyining
sections. ceases. One party will doubt
less assume q Union, and the other a
| Disun;on front, rs soon as Congress
| meets; and tho former will be composed
of Union men of all varieties, who may
be expected to array themselves round
| the new Administration as round stand
ard and common centre. The latter will
necessarily remain in opposition. So far
| from the line of demarcation being geoo-
raphyical,i it will run through every South
ern State like the veins or arteries through

through every county, city, town, aud
hamlet in the South, dividing even fam
lies aud households, but disappearing.
we trust, within the border Slave States
The presumption, therefore, is that the
classitications made of the members Of the
next Congress will be found erroneous !;
and that Mr.. Lincoln will have the sup
port of an efficient working majority in
| both Houses.
From The Richmond { Va.J Enquirer.
The State of Virginia las as much in
tercst in the continued peace of this Con
ftderacy as any other State. but she will
not permit peaccabc or forcble coercion
by the Federal Government Virginia
will, therefore, say to the Federal Gov
ernment, that South Carolina by secess-
ion has removed herself from beyond the
sphere Of It's action, and that no force
shall be employed against the State. And
if the Federal Government persists, Vir-
giniu WI resist the Federal Government.
The character of the force with which tn 2
Federal Government may attempt coer-
cion will not affect the question rs to Viz
ginia. She will not permit the Federal
Government to 90 beyond its sphere and
assault sovereign State.
From The RaleigA IN. G, Press,
We do not believe that the Union will
endure three no1ths. The announce
ment Of the Republican victory of the
North sodndcd to our cars ike the death
knell of this United Junederacy. We
are not of those who shut their eyes and
co;e their ears to the storm. The South
n States wW not taRaely submit to be
governed by party that declares eternal
war on their constitutional rights. 1t is
time that Southern men should look
around and see to what this thing is to
lead; whether the freemen ofthe StutA
are to be stripped of their property, OF
whether they ere to maintain their con-
stitutional rights.

cola will have on the commercial and
