Among other speakers was Dr. F. NJ Rob-
| ertson, who, among other things, said:
Who did not tread the streets the morning
| after he received that intelligence with more
buoyant stepsl Who did not feel his bosom
| swell with more patriotic ardor Aye and
| we shall more firmly tread our native soil
| with prouder step, when this glorious flag
| shall float over every inch of ground OF our
| noble State. But, my friends, The work is not
yet acccm cmplIshed. You have much yet to do.
Already you hear from the North and many
parts OF the West the soft and silyery words
| Of conciiation. You can hear Them now tell
| ing you they did not mean anything by their
| threats; that this Black Republican threat
| was nothing. They ask for conference for
| couciliation. They are willing 10 make any
pledges. But we will listen to no pledges un.
| Ill we take this State out of the Union. Tney
| have violated the Constitution, stripped it Of
/ its vitality, and now ask still to be bound
| further; still to have the manacles so riveted,
SO fastened, as that never again we shall be
bile to throw them off.
This is not our policy, our interest our
duty; but honor and everything dear 10 us
calls upon us to go forward, solitary and alone,
II need be, In this great work. What, would
ask you, has been the course of this party T.
Has it not warred upon our interests and hap
piness for years They tell you, by their ora
tors, they do not intend to violate the Consu-
tuition; they do not intend to make aggressions
upon you; bnt they intend 10 hem you in with
fire, to environ you with their act w hich holds
you captive forever. They intend 70 pursue
you 10 your hiding -places-aye, as one OF the
oafe misereants observed. like poisoned rats.
Is this lie conciliation they speak Of ! With
their lips they would throw the Constitut ton
around us, and then, under that shelter, they
wonld deprive US OF the little that may be yet
left.
Rev. Basil Manly, d. D., and London c..
Garland, President of the Alabama Univer-
sIty, have been publicly called upon by citi-
Zens of Tuscaloosa, of all parties, to repre-
sent that county in the State Convention.
THE NEW LOAN.
In consequence of the pressure now ex-
listing in the money market, we underst ia nd
that The Secretary OF the Treasury has noti-
fled the bidders that they can have an exten-
sion OF thirty days upon one-half OF the
amount yet to be paid up. This will relieve
the money market from large Immediate de-
mand, and will no doubt have a favorable in
fiuence.-Nat. Int.
A meeting was held, "without distinction
OF party" in Bath county, Va, on the 13th
inst, at which resolutions were adopted de-
claring the simple fact of Lincoln's election

find the three following:

OF the Union, or secess on OF any one or more

THB OPERA AND PoLITIcs.-On Saturday
week a new prima donna, Mile. Larcombe,
made her debut at the New Orleans Opera
House, in the "Favorita." The Picayune says
"She achieved disting uishsd success, alike as

some account Of political episode in the per-
formance, as follows:
"The performance was an interrupted one.
