How the Old Villian Howls.

Horace Greeley, editor of the Y. !. Tribune
who has probably done more to break up the
country and bring on the present alarming
, and distressing state Of affairs than any other
man in it, is really alarmed at the storm which

The Rubicon has been passed; there can
now no longer be any mistake as to what Linz
coins administration will be- provided we suf,
fer him to reign over an undivided country.
and hence we say that On every inch Of south
ern soil the cry should be, to arms! to arms -
our homes and our county; the Constitution
as it is, and war to the death on all traitors. II
the South are determined to resist Lincoln's
rule they should prevent his Inauguration upon
southern SOIL An undivided front and DO
sitive demand now by the South may en-
able US either to save the Union or reconstruct
it upon the old landmarks, but all faltering
by the South or by Southern States now, will
only make the Revolution more widespread
and more horrible. We are satisfied that
neither Lincoln or the Republicans in Congress
will yield anything to the South until they are
made to do it, and hence we say that united
South should act and act at once.
