North has encountered the nsonee Of the South by pro
tesla and agitation Tho south threatsns to avenge by

From the Paris Constitutional, Jan. 1o.l
After following for long time encroaching policy,
the south declares itself threatened before attacked
and secedes from the Union, which has committed
other wrong towards than that OF elect
ing President representing the opinions OF an immense
majority. For must once more remark that the cleo
tion OF Mr.. Lincoln did not signify the abolition OF
slavery, but simply firm resolve to prevent its unlmit

exception were unanimous in saying to the south, sYou
have carried your conques,s far enough shall not
farther without the least intention Of assailing any
quired rights. This legitimate expression Of the de-
termination Of the North which had far been much too
patient, nevertheless sutiiced TO irritate the South

journals OF his party that the President and Congress Will
then cau upon South Carolina to obey Should war ensue
and the whole South take part with South Carolina, what
will become Of all the deplorabe interests created by
slavery Is not easy to imagine conjunctnre Of cir
