| be a civil war, a war to the death, between the
Northern and Sou uthern States Of this Union
There IL not an element OF greatness or OF
glory in this nation that would not come in to
swell the mortal terror and fear fu mess OF that
fratricidal conflict.
The Republican party is In power. Mr..
Lincoln is not elected by close votes or doubt
tmi calculations. The great States of the
Nortp nave poured forth their myrads of
votes for him. There is no mistaking the de-
monstration: Blu, by the very grandeur of
their triumph are the Republicans urged to
generosity and courtesy towards the South.
ihey are routed minority. They are exas
perated. They are growing desperate. Their
backs are TO the wall. Their hereditary cour-
age is reused. They must not be made reck.

rlgnts why not say so, frankly and cor

that belongs TO great people, assure them of

FR rjetis only worthy of barbariaps To

mics of freedom in every cline Whatever
was our duty before the election, It is surely
our duty now 10 secure for Mr.. Lincoln a
peaceful and successful administration. 1t is
uine mat the asperities of the campaign had
passed away. The great are generous. Let
the entire North speak words of friendship
and Kindness TO the South, and instead of
mourning lost Pleiad, our constellation

glory.
MARYLAND.
The "Minute Men" of Baltimore, q political
Organization, numbering 1850, formed before
the election to advocate the cause Of Bell and
Everett have since the election adopted reso-
lutions denying that LIncolns success is suf-
flcent cause for dissolution, and denying the
right Of secession. These resolutions farther
declare
That we regard the Union OF the States as
the only source of the nationality OF our Re-
public; that to the Union we are indebted for
our power, prosperity and growth as nation
Tor our peace at home and abroad for the in
ruence we have won in the affairs of the
world, and for the hopes we are allowed to in
On ge IN the beneffcence Of the future.
We, therefore, hold the preservation Of the
Union in its full and perfect integrity, with
the enjoyment Of all its guaran ices, rights and
duties, as established by the Constitution and
laws, as interpreted by the j Judiciary, and as
handed down by the tradition of our fathers,
to be the first and highest obligation of citi-
zen of the United States.
That in our judgment no violation Of its
spirit, no assault, whether by treecherous
friend or open foe, which wise men may avert
or brave men repel, can ever Justify or excuse
the break king of that sacred bond; but such at
tack should rather summon all true and faith
full citizens to its defence, accounting it the
more honorable part to rally to its aid when
misfortune threatens ruin.
In the earnest conviction of the truth OF this
sentiment, We declare that tbs Minute Men OF
1860 will be the last TO abandon the glorious in
heritanCe of The Union, which we have re-
ceiVed from the Minute Men of l776
ARMS OR THE SOUTH.
Ihe only peopis gathering any advantage
from the present crisis are the manufa turers

Of Commerce says;
Yesterday there arrived by the steamer City
of Hpr RI fnr fyr IN -
patent carbiGes, containing ~ pieces each,
making III all arms for SEQ men, and 40 cases

graph from the Governor of Georgia and will
be sent to Savannah by the next steamer. The
same factory has also received orders from
Ala abama for 900 stand of the same death
dealing weapons.
firm III New York city receive from
twenty to fifty orders daily from South Caro-
lima, Alabama and Georgia-and people who
suppose that the South is not a paying Gus
toner may be astonished to know that their
business transactions in this line are strictly
on cash basis. Cash within thirty days Is
their lnyarIable rule. Most of the orders are
for rifles and navy revolvers, though the firm
supply an immense number of fiint-lock mus
hets. They lately sent twenty gun carriages
20 Georgia, and have done Il brisk business in
all kinds OF small arms and ammunition with
all the principal Sou States.
Another large house in this city has filled or
ters for about $500 stand ofmuskets of the L.
States pattern, and has sold large quantities ot
artillery swords and army pistols. Its orders
come from all the Southern States, but mainly
from those III VIII ich secession is regarded as the
only remedy for Southern grievances. A third
extensive establishment has supplied i'm

wholesale houses and agencies in the city
have been hard pressed to supply the orders
for every Imaginable species of weapon.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
In a sermon at Charleston, S. c., on Sunday
last, the officiating minister, Rev. D. y. Lafar,
said
You need not compromise your religion while
protecting your homes and firesides. The same
God who has commanded you to love him
above all things else, inforas you in another
part of His word, that whosoeyer "provIdeth
not for his own household is worse than al
iufidel - Carry your religion with you where
ever you go-Whatever you undertake. You
are not of The world, even as Christ was not
of the world-so THAI, whilst you would aid
your fellow men by all the means in your
power, in rendering your country happy and
prosperous in future show 10 them at the same
time that you are disciples - Christ, ready 10
bless your enemies. Let no undue excitement |
pervade your actions; be calm aud deliberate
III counsel; determined in the accomplishment /
of IL; be satisfied that you are right before you
act, and God viii make the issue prosperous.
Keep your eye on Christ, and his reflected
Image will ever bear you onward.
For my own part, L will only say, in con-
clusion, my every sympathy is with the soil
on which l stand. l have never known any
other mother than this and l cling to her
with the devotion OF a child. My dear dead
ones sleep In her dust; my children have been
Eursed on her bosom, and here hope TO repose
this head when my cares are over. 1fCaroliaa
falls, fall with her. If she prospers it will
be the richest privilege of my lite to ascrib
10 q cd the glory. Amen.
On Tuesday last Il number of citizens re-
hi s,l ri.
Charleston, and presented Capt. Berry with a
Palmetto cane, in remembrance of his having
holsled the first Palmetto flag at sea. Quite
8 sensation was produced Oh the Colum bIa as
she was about leaving the wharf in New York,
OF Saturday last, occasoned by the display
ing of the Palmetto flag from the peak OF the
mainmast.
Wednesday was observed IN Charleston as a
day Of Humiliation and prayer" The Mer-
curry, in referring to the solemn occasion, says
The time is rapidly approaching when the
people of South Carolina must determine for
themselves the place they will occupy 10 his
tory. Happily, for the peace and prosperity
OF The State, there are 40 signs of discord
amorg It's citizens. They stand united against
q common enemy. All have recognized the
wrong, and all are agreed upon the remedy
Unanimity has not been the offspring of any
sudden irritation. Long years Of aggression
and ins ult have given time for sober reflection,
and have bound our people together in an un-
aitsrable resolve.
We are then, upon the eve OF great events.
The Legislature has properly set apart this
day for prayer and preparation. 1t is right
that Christian people, struggling in good
ca use, should invoke Providence for its sue
cess From every quarter OF our state voice
OF supplics ton Will arise to-day, and on the
morrow, conscious OF the smile oil Heaven, the
patriot will march forward in the lie OF duty,
with new confidence and an unsbrinking
s,ep The crisis that is upon us is indeed d
grave one and we trust that the observance OF
this day Will be proportionably serious and
general
