dispatch from Montgomery, Ala dated
| the 11th inst, says:
A mass-meeting of the citizens Of this city
was held here last night. All parties were
represented. The merchants, ban kers, plant.
ers and politicians, are all decided in favor OF
a dissolution OF the Union.
Gov. Moore, Mr.. Yancey, and other promi-
nent public men from all parts of the State
were present and made speeches in favor Of
| disrnion.
The Governor has decided to have the Con-
vention meet on the first Monday in January
The people desire IL to be held sooner but he
does not feel authorized by the resolutions of
the last Legislature TO call the Convention
uhlii tne electors have cast their votes Tor
President in December.
On Wednesday he viii publish n letter
stating the time on which he will issue his
proclamation, and calling on the people to
nominate candidates for the Convention. 1t
Will be a strong disunion document.
There was much excitement at Winsboro,
S. O., when Lncoln's election was ascertained
A dispatch dated the eth, says:
The Minute Men have as much as they can
do, Tor they are compelled to hold from two
TO three meetings a day to initiate members
the blue cockades are common here. Gups
pistols and swords are in demand and ii the
feeling manifested here is general throughout
the State, South Carolina will soon be out of
the Union, and Black Republican President
Will never lord it over the old Palmetto State.
The Toronto (Canada) Leader says
The returns Indicate the election of Lincoln
and Hamlin for President and e-President
OF the United States. If this should turn out
to be the case, some of the Southern States ap-
pear to be ready to make a move towards car
rying out the threat to withdraw from the
Union. The Governor of South Carolina in
ylted the Legislature to arm the State, but the
latter had put the question off till it should
be ascertained definitely whether Lincoln be
really elected. 1t is folly to talk about arm
ing for the purpose of bringing about a disso-
luton OF the Union for if dissolution cannot
be obtained without resorting 10 arms, it can
not with it. lfit once comes to fighting it is
all up with the South. The North would
crush her as easily As giant crushes a fly. A
southern Convention there m3y be; but the
supposed necessity for the South arming is
the dream OF a mddman.
The action of the South will be watched
with intense interest, for the great crisis in
the history of the Republic has arrived. 1t
Is for the interest of humanity that the great
experiment of self government, which the Re-
public is making, should succeed. A dissolu-
ton OF the Union would not necessarily
prove the failure OF that experiment, but it
would be quoted proof of failure by des-
pots and reactionists IN Europe. II would be
a melancholy thing to see dissolution OF the
Union arising out of the struggle to extend
slavery, and brought about by the aggressive
party. For these reasons dissolution of the
Union Is, under present circums tances, to be
deprecated; but II il should come, We cannot
AFFORD tc admit that it proves a failure Of the
great experiment which the United States are
making There is too much that is bad in the
governments of the world to justify aLy friend
CT freedom IN going into raptureS over the
supposed failure of an experiment in self-gov-
eminent, such as, take it all i'll all, the world
has never before seen We have no preference
for Republicanism; the contrary; but it is so
much better than most of the existing gov
ernments of the world, that we are not justi-
fed In depreciating the American system in
the Crisis of its fate
