journals Of the Yancey- Breckinridge-
Disunion party at the South could OBJ
tain extensive calculations throughout
the country, their candidate would not
obtain a thousand votes at the North
above those cast by the creatures of the
Administration who fill the federal Off
ces. No influence upon the mind could
change the votes of these latter. They
would support Satan himself, if COM
mandcd to do SO, in order to retain
their places. Let us take a few extracts
from journals of the class referred to.
The Comden Register, published in Ala
bama, in running up the Breckenridge
Disunion flag, uses the following Ian
guage:
We run up our flag to-day for Breckinridge
and Lane. the Democratic nominees for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States
We have unwaveriHgly concluded for the last
ten years that it would be better (for oil con-

should be done with fairness and justice to ev-
cry section Of the Union; and believing that the
party to Which ce belong is the only reliable one
to carry out this measure, and secure to our
own section all her rights, zoe intend to battle
for our principles to the fullest extent of our
ability.
The Montgomery Mail, another Dis
union paper, which has joined the Sc
ceders and hoistcd their ticket, now
tells us what it is for, and what can be
secured by the move of the Boilers:
Run three Presidential tickets against Lin.
coin. thereby giving Lincoln the best chance for
election. After Lincoln is elected, aome South
ern communities-mcst of them perhaps-will
refuse to let q postmaster, appointed under his
administration. take possession OF the office.
Then the United States authorities will be 10.
terposed to "enforce the law" Then the
United States authorities will be either shot
down, or they will shoot somebody down.
Then the people Of the community will rise up
against the United States Government and will
be sustained by neighboring con munities until
civil ~ar, Nth all its horrible 6utcheries, envel-
o!pes the land in a sh:o"d Of blood and carnage.
The Mobile Mercury INDUCES in the
following language:
The times are now ripe for the organization
OF a political movement in the Sav eholding
states, irrespective, of course. of ell old party
designations and there are peculiar reasons
why such a movement should be undertaken

sweep over the land with force that no op-
position will be able TO check. We therefore
caution our friends in the country every where
to be prepared for IL. and keep themselves
aoof from all entanging alliances which may
hinder them from joining it untrammeled.
The Montgomery Advertiser says:
1t is important that we should send such
men to represent us [in Congressl as poseees
the ability to combat the approaches Of Re-
puoncahism, and the nerve to eecede from
Washington in case Abolitionism should install
one Of its leaders in the Executive mansion Of
the nation. 1t Is important to the South. also
that her delegation should present a united
front of State Rights Democrats, for in the
principles and the doctrines Of the State Rights
Democracy rests the hope of the South in the
Union or out OF it.
The Eufala (Als.) Gazette says:
Could We all think and feel alike; were our
interests identical and our occupations similar.
We might adopt mmon government with
out detriment to either but as We are differ.

immediate Withdrawal from the alliance which

The Wetumpka (Ala) Spectator
