Mr.. BUCHANAN AND THE sourH.-1f Lincoln is
elected President of the United States the rea.
tons of the Southern States towards his Admins.
tration must be settled by the present Administra.
ton. Mr. Lincoln will not be installed in office be.
fore the 4th Of March next. Long before this time
the Southern States will have determined their
course; and if this course shall be secession
from the Union by one or more Southern States
Mr.. Buchanan will have to guide the course Of the
General Government to meet it. II lie thinks a
State has q right to secede from the Union, OF
course, he cannot order any portion of the United
States army or navy against seeding State. II
he attempts coercion, every Southern man in his
cabinet and IN the army and navy, will doubtless
leave them. Congress has no power to control the
Presidents views of the Constitution and the duty
1t involves. He must. as the Chief Executive OF
the United States, act for himself and enforce his
own conscientious conceptions of the rights Of the
States under the Constitution of the United States
Ii they Republieans) shall by their 40.
gression and sectional domination, drive one or
more Southern States out of the Union, Mr.. Bu-
chanan will not shed the blood of wronged and IN.
offensive people, who seek their safety by sena-
ration from their aggressora and prosecutors. This
is our opinion; but. whether it IS right or wrong
should in no way affect the course of the Southern
States. They should pursue that course which, in
their opinion, their rights, interests and homer de-
mand: and rs TO the rest, be prepared to meet die
consequences, whatever they may be. For the
speedy formation of Gonfederacy Of al The South
ern Sfates the best instrument we believe viii be
the sword. IGharlcston Mercury.
