Fruits of the Republican VIC
tory.


The first fruits OF the Republican tri-
umph Were apprehensions for the safety Of
tue country, stagnation of business. stop
page of factories suspensions Of banks, re
duction of the price Of grain, as well as all
kinds Of property, real as well as personal.
And these minor calemities were quickly
followed by those of greater magnitude
The Southern people felt thatthey had been
so wickedly injured and atrociously abused
by the triumphant party at the North that
they were willing to resort to secession as
a remedy. And we do not much wonder
at their determination. The movement
was FIRST started in South Carolina, but has
now spread over nearly the entire South.
Sig States have already absolyed their
allegiance to the federal government, and
four more are preparing to fnllnw. And it
is likely that the entire fifteen States of the
South will be out Of the Union by the first
of May.
Most Of the forts and arsenals belonging
to the United States south of Mason and
Dixon's line have been taken possession of
/ by the seeding States Indeed, in South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida,
| Louisiana, and Tennessee, the standard of
rebellion to federal authority has been de-
family raised. The toesin of war has
sounded and the excited and maddened
people are preparing for desperate strug-
gle.
All the Southern officers in the army and
navy, with a few exceptions, have resigned
and rendered their services to their respec-
tive States. And the Representatives and
Senators of five sovereign States have bid
farewell to Congress, and gone home to
their constituents.
We do not wish to be understood as JUS
trying the extreme measures taken by the
South, but it Is nevertheless true that the
Republicans have brought this terrible
state Of affairs upon the country. The
" irrepressible conflict" doctrine has done
the work-has dissolved the Union, and
now threatens to make our fertile plains
one broad battle field. The heavy tread of
troops are heard in various localities and
what has been fearfully predicted by the
Democratic press as the consequence of the
triumph Of a purely sectional party has
proved too true.
Financial disaster and ruin and appalling
internecine war stares us in the face, and
yet there is no back down on the part of
the Republican leaders. As we have
already stated, they would rather see the
Union dissolved-tho country deluged in
fraternal blood than see their party yield
one iuta of its fanatcal and sectional doc
trines.

LoVejOy and Compromise.

BY the Geographic synopsis of the speech
of Lovcjoy, given in to days paper, it will
be seen that he j. opposed tC compromise
by which the country can be preserved
from war-the most horrible Of calamities.
In other words, he is in favor of disrupted
Union and thirty three military despotisms
aud the Inauguration of the reign Of blood
and power, instead of peace and prosperity
and the most glorious nation the world ever
saw.
The effect of Lovejoy's speech, at the
prOseut crisis in national affairs. must nrovs
banetul upon the success Of the measures
being iouugurated to restore peace to the
country. Such sentiments, comino from
one whom 1t is reasonable to suppose rem
resents Lncoln's views, justly excites our
most serious apprehensiuns. Can it be that
Lincoln sympathizes and advises with Love
JOY? 1t is true Lovejoy is the ablest Re

President buchanan.

The Black Republicans, and re,y .teIc
Democrats with Black Republican procliv-
tiles, are loud ia their denunciation of
President Buchanan for bis ifcdenlings
with the excited people Of the South They
are mad with the President because he does
not enter the South with FIRE and sword
and commence war of determination
against our Southern b-erhern.
Indeed, so far have the Republicans car
riod their opposition to the President, that,
not satisfied with heaping torrents of abuse
and calumny upon him, they have demand
ed his trial for treason. And as testimo-
mails of hatred to our Chief Executive these
moral and decent Republicans and their
allies have made the Northern heavens
glare by burning his efigy. Such demon
STATIONS have not been confined to any par.
ticular locality or State, but have extended

This abuse of President Buchanan is no
more than We expected. The leaders and
presses of this same party were as bitter in
denunciation of the patriot jackson as
they be of Mr.. Buchanan. While Gen.
jackson was Presidentth they exhausted their
vocabulary of slang in the search of epithets
| with which to abuse him. They cursed
him with curses long and deep. They ac-
cused him of being military tyrant; of
usurping the powers of government; of
grasping the purse and the sword They
caricatured him in every way and manner,
by prints, by bogus coins, by coffin hand.
bills, and threatened him with impeach
ment, as they now do Mr. Buchanan. By
such incessaDt abuse they so worked upon
the feelings of the people, that one individ
uai attempted to assassinate him in broad
daylight as he was descending the steps o.
the Presidential mansion. They sent com
mittees to him demanding the restoration
of the deposits to the United States Bank
as they are now sending committees to Mr.
Buchanan demanding the coercion of thu
South. But amidst ali the fierce denu,.c ia
tons, Gen. jackson stood firm ard unmnved
like the rock in mid ocean dashed by thu
surrounding waves. conscious of the recti
tude of his conduct and determined to ad-
minister the government in accordance
with his views Of duty and policy.
And it is thus that Nh Buchanan nov
stands amidst all the howlingS and denun-
Citations Of the Black Republicans anC
treacherous Democrats. They may contin
ue to shower their abuse upon him, bu
patriotic and discerning men will be yer,
slow to accept the opinions of these fanat
les. The national crisis is delicate on,
aud calls for tender treatment. Precipitat
action would be the inauguration of ter
riblc and bloody conflict, the end Of whicl
no man could foretell and the evil of whic!
no man could compute.
Any rejecting mind who will conside
the true condition of affairs, the nature o
our government, and the events Of tie cri
sis, must &c led to the conviction that III,

and wisdom that prove the geruineness Q
