DISUNION AND IT'S GLORIES.
EUFAULA, ALA Oct. 8, 1860.
LIST. The prospect Of Il has now reduced the
price OF cotton SO per bale below Its value,
and as over 900 bales will be sold betOre
the 9Th of Nouen,6er, the loss will be S5.O00,OOO

bills to pau for cotton on bills of Exchange,
PAYABLE at the North after the 9Th Of November,
because no northern Bank Icin take Southern
Bank drafts or bills payable after that ddte, Tor
the reason that disuatoR and lcaT would cancel
and annul the debts of belligerents. Hence
a money crisis is on US. Cotton is going
down here whilst it is rising in Europe, and
ruin, ruin, ruin is ahead Reason why? The
Presidential election comes off the 9th of
November and dis,nion IS threatened
3d. If dlsuaion skouId come, bacon, now 16
cents. would then be so 10 IS cents per pound;
corn then So TO So per bushel. and no money
to pay for it. There is not bacon and corn
enou gh in the Cult States TO feed our people
until the Isl Of Aarch. We have to buy from
Illinois, Ohio and Indiana, and other North
ern States, or starUe.
4th Dis,uiion rs ciril traT. We are splendidly
prepared for iI-anilis opibusQue paTati. Let
us see. We have no musheIs, no rides, no
cannon, no wheel-carriages for cannon, no
powder, no balls, no bacon and -four to feed
an army. 10 implements or munitions Of agar!
Is not THIS True! Let every honest man an
swer the question.
9Th. Hhen disunion and Girl acGr comes, what
will the thousands do who have no bacon. no
corn, and no money to buy them with? Will
they starpe, or form brigand clubs and rob,
steal and murder, before starving. Who
could blame them. Would the Nortla,cssf send
US bacon AID corn TO stop starvation here,
whilst at trci ,citk ,!ss No. The idea is alb
surd.
9th. All who are in favor Of civil war,
starvation, ruin, desolatiOn, robbery, arson,
murder, and the utter destruction of the
South, should go for DISUNION if Lincoln
is elected. TRUTH.
History shows us that citadels and forts
amply able TO support and maintain them
selves, have yielded to an enemy without
firing a gum" The writer of the article In
the Confederation virtually recommends that
policy 10 the SOuth--to surrender, without
| firing q gun, to the legions of white GR8 black
Wide-Awakes who compose the army OF Lin
coin! Shall we surrender without even ask
ing terms? Shall we be taken, Is The British
| took Walker. and be turned over TO destruc-
ton by abolition white and black emissaries,
as Walker was turned over to death by the
No struggle for State sovereignty! No
contest for the rights of the States? Not an
arm raised to protect hundreds of millions OF
slave property. No! no. Only corn at IS
per bushel, and bacon at rs cents.'-only
these-'and nothing mOre!"-are the cons
| sideratiODsi
Then let US adopt the logic of this writer.
! To defend slavery requires that We should go
through an ordeal in which We shall have to
pay .'75 cents for bacon and SIS for corn
| slavery is not worth such sacrifices--the
| rights of the South are not worth such sacri-
| fces--it is not worth such sacrifices to pre-
vent each community in the South from be-
| ing an Oberlin, with "a big niger at Its
| head. Any characterization the extinc-

and expensive bacon.

whole syllable-his cry is Bacon bacon
bacon : bacon and Submission ~
1t is true that there is hard money pres
sure upon the peoplei 1t is true that the
political uncertainties do affect discounts and
not true that Northern banks refuse to dis
count cotton bills. The Northern banks sea
err did that business. They would be glad to
do it, to-day.
Gentle reader, fear not your bacont The
South has nearly four millions of bates O
that which, ia the money market. is better

our cotton, and the purchasers be glad tc
get it on any terms. If the price of. the sta
pie is depressed now. it is simply becalse
the banks have managed TO get control o.
the crop; If the banks are shocked or over
whelmed by political fears, let them with
draw entirely and let the British aud French
come in with their gold and siIuer-as thew dc
in Texas--and buy our cotton.
.'Curn. Bacon.' From how deep. do,sr
in that patriots person, proceeds the sublime
cry of .'Corn--bacon!'
But. says this writer, in case OF war, "vt

last Legislature, for appropriating a few
thousands to the purchase of arms

In Gods name, where are the brave wo
men of this fair land, who first defed the
power of the British Lion! Let them CON,
