What n Leap:

A short time ago our talented young Senator,
Milton S. Latham, threw himself right into the
bosom of the Yanceyiles, and fed on fire with
an eagerness and facility surprising the most
red-hot South Carolina Salamander. he tnen
proclaimed that the Yanceyites were entitled TO
all they had asked--that they only demanded
their rights under the Constitution, and that
these they should have-and then he made
some sort of allusion to an intention of cutting
off one of his arms rather than aid their enemies
in deprving them of those rights. That was
before the election, when the friends of Breck-
inridge thought they could defeat an election
before the people, and thus either elect Breck-
inrdge in the House or Lane in the Senate.
Now, however, circumstances are changed.
The North and Northwest have the President
elect. And lol Mr. Latham leaps forth from
the Yanceyite camp and lands plump into the
very centre of the opposition hosts. where he
brandishes his sword in the face of his whilom
confreres, and says: |" and my people will
have nothing more to do with you, for you won't
give us a railroad !"
Well, this is wonderful world, and the mu-
tations and changes therein Sre sometimes won-
derful and sometimes laugha5le.

What L,ncoIn,. Election Est.bll.he..

Senator Doolittle says that Lincoln's election
establishes these two things:
lst That slavery shall not be extended into
the Territories, by any means however bold, nor
under any continuance however specious-nei-
ther BY Act OF Congress, by border rufian inva-
sion, by judicial DEGREES, nor by Territorial
slave codes; but that the free territories acqui
red or to be acquired from Mexico or Great Brit
ain. shall remain free. And,
I'd. That the majority and not the minority,
by their votes, constitutionally given, shall de-
termine who shall be President of the Uai,ed
States. and that it is the first principle in Re-
publican Popular Sovereignty, that the minori-
ty must acquiesce in the enforcement of all con-
stitutional laws enacted by the country, and for
the whole country.
If the election really does establish the first
proposition, the next proposition named by the
Senator should have been, And the destruc-
tion of the Republic" for no one knows better
than himself that the South will not remain in
the Union with the Northern States, unless upon
a footing of perfect equality. This is their right
and any honorable Northern man would despise
them fthey would abandon it for any conside.
ration.
As to the other proposition, the Senator there-
in speaks like fool.
Says he, Lincon's election establishes the fakl
that the majority and not the minority sh5
elect the President, and that the minority pasl
acquiesce peaceably. Why then will he insist
upon the Inauguration of Lincoln? He was moi
elected by majority of the people? The ma.
jority against him is nearly a million Senator

BSA. Many of the members who were elected
on the Douglas ticket were Administration
Democrats last year, and supported Douglas
solely because they believed him to be the reg
ular nominee of the Democratic party That
question is now settled. Douglas has been
shanefully beaten and is politically damned ;
and men who are aspiring will not cling to the
fallen fortunes of a bankrupt politician Before
the Legislature adjourns, the Douglas faction
will be spoken Of only in derision.--M Mountain,

i" shamefully," because the means used were
shameful, not to say dishonorable, politically
speaking. And yet he received halfa million votes

effrontery which can enable a Breckinridger to
predict that the douglas faction" comprising
a million and a hall of voters) will speedily " be

DIsUNIoN.-A correspondent of the Sacra-

Union, says: 4" Business is prostrated. There is
no market for merchandise of any kind. 1t is
supposed that ten thousand men are out of em.
ployment in New York city alone, and there is
not manufacturing establishment in New
England which has not reduced its force within
the past month. throughout the
North, in fact, prostration more disastrous
than that of 1857 already reigns" And yet we
continually hear Republicans of small intelects
asserting that the North can get along as well
without as with the South.

A Question.

Some of our Breckinridge friends pretend to
laugh at the strength of Douglas, saying that he
only carried one State and part of another
They forget the remarkable fact, however, that
he received nearly double as many votes in the
Union as Breckinridge or Bell. II his party,
like those of either Lincoln or Breckenridge, had
been of sectional character and confined to
one particular portion of the Union, he would
have carried as many States, perhaps, as Lin
coin, and twice as many as Breckinridge or Bell.
Unluckily (?) for him, he was supported by ma
tional party, and hence his friends were too
much scattered, being spread all over the ma
tion. Such defeat is more glorious than a
Lincoln victory. or such victory as would have
been that of Breckinrdge had he been elected.
But Douglas carried but one and a half
States! Well, would Buchanan have carried
even part of one single State in the entire ma
ton, if, after his nomination, the friends of
Douglas had bolted and nominated and sup
ported another candidate? Not one. The man
who thinks otherwise, after examining the elec-
ton returns of 1856, is Foofoo, politically
speaking.

nsa. Some malicious Reverend (?) libeller has
been charging the Rev. DR.. Scott with plagiar-
ism from DR.. Cumming in his work on Daniel
This change of plagiarism was originally made
in Norton's Gazette for 1854 and the Reverend
libeller, in using the Gazene's article without
acknowledgment, is himself guilty of the gross
est plagiarism. A sufficient answer to the
charge made against DR.. Scott is the fact that
the author of the article in the Gazette sent his
criticism to DIR. Cumming, who, in reply, ac-
quilted DR.. Scott of everything like literary
theft, and declared that he was greatly indebted
to him for the ample credit which, all through
his book, he had given his Cummings own
work. The fact is, the Unions Reverend libel
Ter is a malicious and bad man. He hates DR..
Scott because, in the opinion of the public gen.

The Union In Danger.

1t has long been the custom fpeople to speak
of a dissolution of the Union as an impractica-
BILE thing. Indeed until but few weeks past,
the newspapers and speakers of the free States
generally laughed and sneered and scofed at
the idea of accession, upon the ground almost
solely that the South was too poor to sustain
separate government
To the man at all acquainted with the tre-
mendous resources of the South-with its vast
extent of territory, comprising the most produc-
tive lands in America-with the fact that it is
the very richest portion of Gods earth, the idea
universally prevalent in the free States that it
is,poverty- stricken, is ridiculous, and would be
Imaginable were it not for the fact that its legiti
mate frpits-a dismemberment of the Republic
are almost in the grasp of the spoilers hand.
1t is therefore pleasing to perceive the change
-tthar mas recently come over the minds of these
heretofore blinded men. Now they admit there
is great danger that the man whom they elected
President-upon platform which avowed the
purpose of using the General Government to
fight the favorite and most vital domestic in
stituton of the Southern half of the Union
will not be inaugurated as the Chief Magistrate
of the republic of the United States. They not
only see and acknowledge this fact, but their
representatives in Congress, like honest men
and patriots, now taking the action necessa-
ry to assure the South that their rights under
the Constitution shall be maintained. They
have announced purpose to induce the North
ern Legislatures to repeal their unconstitutional
statutes passed to nulify the fugitive slave act.
They have likewise announced purpose to give
the South some sort of guarantee against future
interference with slavery in the States Surely
the South have right to ask that the North
shall cease to agitate the slavery question, be-
cause such agitation interferes with the domes-
tic tranquility of the South. Unless that do
mestic tranquility is guaranteed to them in the
Union, they will and ought to seek it outside of
the Union. This every fair-minded man, North
or South, must admit, because a Government
that does not secure domestic tranquility to the
people is failure a curse.
