One of Lincoln's Organs on the Secession Move

ment.
We ask every reader, who has the faintest spark
of Southern fire in his breast, to read the annexed
extracts from the Chicago Democrat, which is pub
lished at the home of Abe Lincoln. perusal of
them will satisfy any man in regard to the light in
which Southcrners are held by that Infamous gang
OF conspirators
The election is over and Lincoln is elected, by
larger majority of the popular vote than was antici-
patcd and by the electoral vote of every free State
Thus not only has the consummation which the
frc-eAters of the South have for years proclaimed
as the inevitable preclude to disunon been attain
ed, but the Job has been done so etfecually, COM
plctely and emphat;cay, as to leave no doubt that
the free people of the North meant they should be
understood When eighteen millions of freemcn
speak as they spoke on Tuesday, they make noise
that even the most stupid seccssonst cannot fail to
hear.
Thus the people of the free North sayto the slave
oligarchy, ave will endure your insolence, surfer
your tyranny, bear with your assumption no Ion
ger! We have listened to your threats as insult
ing as they were cowardly, of what you would do'
if we dared to carry out our convictions OF right at
the ballot-box, and elect man who would not bow
the knee to you, and who would place your ac-
cursed institution of slavery where the public mind
would rest in the belief that it would become final
ly extinct.
.You have sworn that if we dared elect such man
YOU would dissolve the Union We have elected
him, and now we want you to try your little game
of secession. Do it, if you dare So long as you
remain in the Union, pcaceably and decently, you
shall enjoy yonr constitutional rights. But every
man OF you who attempts to subvert this Union,
which we prize so dearly, will be hung as high as
IIaman We will have no fooling about the mat
ter! By The Eternal! the Union must be presero-
cdr
Such is the lecture read by the people of the
North TO their Southern brethren on Tuesday. And
now, what will the chivalry do about it?
Will they eat dirt? Will they take back al they
have said about disunion, Southern CoHfedcracy,
the rights of the South, the blood of the enemies,
and all that sort of thing? What will the Yanceys,
the Rctts, the Kcitts, the jeff. Davises, and all
that noble army of traitors do?
The chivalry w,N eat dirt. They will back out.
They never had any spunk anyhow. The best they
could do was TO bully, and brag and buster. John
Brown and his seventeen men were enough to al
fright the whole mighty Commonwealth Of Virginia
out of its propricty, and to hold it as conquered
province until recapturcd by the Federal troops
and to this day John Browns ghost is more terri
BILE than an army with banners, in the eyes of eve
ry Southern cavalier. These knights of the sunny
South are just such heroes as Sancho Panza was
They are wonderful hands at Dragging and telling
fantastical lies, but when it comes to action, count
them out.
As if 10 add The last cap-stonc to this absurditJ
OF disunion blustcr the telegraph, yesterday
brought us the news that the Legislature of Soutl
Carolina, on Tuesday elected her Presidential cleo
tors, and that they lad concluded 10 postpone
arming the State until they had asceraincd that
Lincoln was really elected Poor devils the
smallest kind of a knot-hole is sufficient for them
to crawl through now.
