Tho President Ia bic late message, say
that Il may well be doubted whether a
majority Of tie people IN any Of the South
crn States, with the exception Of South
Carolina, really favor disunion
AT The late presidential election we find
powerful party condcnsing their political
,enon.. into the noble sentence, "Ihe un-
ion The Constitution, aud the preservation
Of the Laws" This party carried the
states ii Virginia, Kentucky and Tcnnca-
see. and polled heavy vote in Maryland
Delaware. Missouri, North Carolina and
Louisiana It was respectable minority
n thc other Southern States. Breeken-
ridge who was the chosen candidate Of the
leading eonspirators received in the South
only 500 81 votes, while there we're east
for other candidates in Che same States
707.lls votes. That many Of those who
supported Bell and Everett in the South
al the last election, have become advocates
Of secession since, can not be denied; that
many Of The same class have not abandon
ca their love for the union, and that they
arc still true and loyal citizens we believe
equally true.
4 majority Of the people Of Maryland
Delaware. Kentucky and Missouri are un-
doubledly Unioni-ts. We have good rea-
son to believe that the same is true Of
Virginia. Tie people Of Eastern Tennes-
see led BY the heroic johnson, Brownlow
and Nelson are calling on the Government
for arms with which they may prove then
devotion 10 tie Union. In Arkansas there
are thousands Of loyal citizens IN tn
northern part Of the State and tic SAINT
i true in every Southern State with th,
exception 81 South Carolina. This VIZ
might expect in the absence Of all facts
for we should DO injustice 70 human mature
to suppose that the charactero q the South
ern people was 50 far degraded as tina
patriotism, tic loyo Of truth and justice
aud indeed, reason was extinct eyerywher
throughout their borders.
The entire unanimity Of the South
favor Of secession, we believe, would I
no means Intercept the prosecution Of ib
prescnt war. The name and honor q Il
Nation and every interest which men hol
dear, demand thai the rebels should l
