without INJURY TO private or public interests. Yam
ccy tells you that increased prosperity will be the

knows better, but he beirays by his silence, and all
who attempt thus to delude the people are either

BelS@ Single out the men who are the most con-
spicuous for diOunion, and weigh their characters
for wisdom, patriotism and exalted public services
Are they such men as you would go to for advice
in any of the practical concerns of every day life
Not one of them Wise, Yancey and Toombs-
who and what are they2 lmpetuous, hot-headed,
crack-braned fools, who think they are winning
immortal honors by bullying the North, or by start
ling the South with some bold project for which
they deserve traitors DOOM Do you find any of
this class pleading the cause OF the Union2 Not
one Strife and agitation are the elements in
which they delight; their acts are dsorganizing,
and their counsel treason. Why then do you ac-
cept them as leaders? Because their boldness
cheats you into the belief that they are honest and
fearless patriots battling against real, instead of
fancied wrongs, and because their appeals arouse
YOUR own passions and make you as big fools as
themselves. Look at the leading men on the 9TH
er side, run the parallel, and be ashamed of your

Rea- We have received number one, of series
Of tracts issued from South Caroina, and bearing
the significant title; The SoUrH ALONE SnouLp
Gowns TUE SoUrH."--the contents leaving no room
TO doubt that the purpose 10 TO "6re the Southern
heart and precptate the Cotton States into reyo-
lutisnP The effort is earnestly made TO excite the
passions Of the against the North by setting
forth, in exaggerated terms the growth of aboli !
tionism whilst studionsly concealing the fact that
Black Republicausm is the Legitimate offspring Of
Southern Democracy, and that every step which ab-
olionism has taken forward; has been taken under
the fostering care of the very men who are clamor
ing for disuuion
Had the Southern Democrats-lilse the oprosi-
consistently and firmly opposed the Wilmot
Proviso the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
Squatter Sovereignty, and every other measure ten
ding, in the remotest degree, to prejudice the rights
Of the Sou.h and had all these measures been
adopted by sectional vote and in spite of South
ern opposition, then there would have been, at this
time, no difference Of opinion in the Southern mind
as to the mode of redress and the time to seek H.
But when it is remembered that one concession and
another has been made to Northern finaticism bv
Southern Democrats, against the consent and adj
vice of the powerful and conservative minority. il is
adding insult to injury to demand that that mnor-
ty shall share equally the evils that must inevitably
grow out of the policy so mady urged by the au-
thors of the mischief which they seek TO repair by
appliances too horrid to he contemplated
This is the attitude in which the whole question
stands; and, viewed from whatever Standpoint
1t presents the same aspect of gross injustice TO the
innocent and fend-like malice in the guilty; and
we are at a loss to determine whether the luuatic
asylum or the convcts cell is the more appropriate
place for the authors of the helish scheme concoct
ed by the authors Of the pamphlet under consider
ation They are for disunion, per Sc. thew will
wait for no overt act and for fear the coveted pre
text for disunion may not arise they have Needles
ly discovered tho Democratic party and resored 10
every arthce that promises to secure the election of
Lincoln. Deeply guilty of all the wrongs that
have embroiled the two sections and guilty of giy
ing all and comfort to the Black Republicans. they
now seek to produce the last scene in the tragedy
and involve in one common ruin, the innocent and
the guilty. Such is the purpose of the party NOM
inally headed by Breckenridge, but led.on by the
disconnected traitors who hope to win fameand pow
er at the cost of their country's ruin The mass of
the party may be innocent of the guilty purpose.
but they cannot be excused for their wiful blind
ness when the evidencesof such purpose are with
in their reach and cannot escape the observation of
any but those who shut their eyes against them
Iii u.
and when they deny it they add falsehood to trca-
son. Let the people choose between Union and
dlsunion-that is the only question before them.

aeA. Last Friday night Mr. Yancey spoke al
Nashville refusing to divide time with Gov. Henry
5. Foot but in the evening Gov. F. took occasion
to answer the arch-secessonist and as reported by
the Banner
He denounced Yancey and his followers in un.
measured terms traitors endeavoringto break up
the Union and destroy the country. lie said the
ropes were already fabricated TO swing up all trait
ors to their country. He termed Mr. Yancey DO
ical adventurer brought here to dog the footsteps
Of Senator Douglas on his way to Montgomery
The Governor was frequently interrupted with APP
plause and in response 20 the many requests of his
audience that he should get up higher, he mounted
the table on the stand and proceeded with his
speech. He stated that tho speech of Mr. Yancey
at the Capitol was the most spiriess and Intellectual
attempt he ever listened to-
He had declared Mr.. Y. ms a traitor, and he dared
not enter the political arena and offer denial OF
the charge, but made long, spritless speech and
was ms silent as the grave upon themost momentous
questions of great political crisis. He again
charged fancey as more consistent persistent OBJ
stinate and designing traitor than Cataline The
Hon. stephen A. Douglas might have been elected,
the Black Republicans subverted, and the country
rescued nom ianaticism, but for this traitor VIM L.

DEPRECIATION IN THE VALUE OF NEGRoAs-We
take the following significant and suggestive ex-
tract from the Helena Ark Shield
ga vast number of negroes are now being bro L
South for market The possibility of the election
of Lincoln may have something to do with this
The owners of negroes living in the border States
| of Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia and Maryland,
seem determined that they will not be the losers if
Disunion should beta the country--hence they are
rapidly selling off their slaves"
We have heard it stated that negroes can now be
purchased in the Richmond market at from two
hundred to three hundred and fifty dollars less than
their ruling price six and twelve months ago The
threat of secession in case of Lincolns election
and the material aid which political factionists
South are extending to produce that result, broods
like nightmare over the business of the country.
Elect John Bell and treasured confidence in the
perpetuity of the Republic will leap from the pop
ular heart, like the jocund day-spring shedding
light and joy and rosy prosperity all over the land

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Times.
THE DISUNTON PLOT.
Schemes Of the Disunionists--ihcir Programme of
Operation

WASHINGTON, Oct, "a, 1860.
II is my painful duty to confirm, on undoubted
authority, the statement which has gone abroad
from this city, duplicating certain high officials in
the most diabolica schemes of treason and Disun-
ion. The gentleman who revealed the plot is r
j. Lackey, ESQ.,, late of the Treasury Department.
He is yirginian by birth, and son-n-law to Ex-
Governor King of Missouri and enjoys reputation
in this community for integrity and goodness Of
heart, of which any man might be proud He was
dismissed from Office few weeks ago, on the pre-
tended ground that he had declared bis preference
for Lincoln over Breckinridge. This he denies and
the probabilities all go to sustain his denial for he
is not only Southerner, but the owner Of a large
amount Of slave property in Missouri.
Mr.. Lackey distinctly states that a high official
in the Treasury Department communicated to him
the plan Of the Disunonists of which he cordially
approved. The plan, stated, is for the Govern
ors of the Southern States to convene their Legs-
latures by proclamation the 9Th day of Novem-
Der, or as soon thereafter as the election of Mr.
Lincoln can be ascertained; that the Legislatures
7cH proceed 10 declare the Union DISSOLVED and 10 pro-
notnce in taror Of Mr.. Breckenridge as the President
Of The Southern Union.
Mr.. Lackey at once denounced this reasonable
scheme, and pointed out the folly and wickedness
in which it originated and the terrible conseuren-
ces to which an attempt to put it into execution
would lead. There can be little doubt that this
patriotic and honorable course of his was the real
ground Of his dismission, although his preference
for Mr.. Douglas, and his refusal to pay back-mail
for the promotion of Mr.. Breckinrdge's election.
would be ample excuse for it, in the estimation of
Mr. Cobb

because they prefer anything rather than demo-
cratic successor to old Buck. And if the South had
united upon any one man to beat Lincoln thousands
oil votes Would have been given to that candidate
by men who will now vote the Republican ticket,
For Democrat they viii not vote.
