The North VS.. the South.

~
Now, my friends, look at the case. I
have told you that Lincoln had not re.
ceived one single vote from the slave
States, fifteen in number. His Chicago
platform had frightened the people of
the South, and made them seek to defend
themselves through the instrumentality
of the ballot box. Well, now, mark
you, told you that the States had a
kind ofisecurity afforded in two clauses
of the Constitution to their sovereign
rights. They we're in minority. The
S nth was in minority, both in record
to the number OF States and the number
of people. 1t had been predicted by
Mr.. Calhoun, and all the men who had
looked to the slavery agitation as a
source of danger, that the time would
come when the fanaticism of the country
would band the whole North against the
whole South.
1t had been said that the North would
take the entire government Of the couu-
try into her owh hands; make any laws
that she wished, without any regard to
the people occupying these fifteen States.
All this was treated as mere humbug-
mere electioneering slang at the time;
and yet we saw, three years ago, this very
conshmmatiop happened. Here was
President elected by section on one
side of the line which separated the free
from the slave States. Here was House
of Representatives and Senate; the
majority of both was elected by the peo-
pie Of the free States. All that they
,had}to do, therefore. was to say: . We
will it that the South shall, have no
rights; we will it that the South shall 60
back and bear to us the same relation
which we bore TO the British crown be-
fore the Revolution; we will reduce the
South to q, mere colony; we will have it
in our power, and we will begin with the
abolition cf slavery" What could the
South doT The North had shown that
it not only had the power of seizing on
the whole country, but had actually done
the thing, had seized on the Government,
and the South barely stood by, knowing
what they had to expect at the hands Of
their masters. q What could the South
do if Lincoln and his gang chose to pass
laws to abolish slavery? What use
would it be for the South to say: "0h,
here's the Oonstitutionl" Mr.. Lincoln
had nothing to DO but to say: ~ don't

Gen. Hooker. They expect the city
will be shclled and all the property
destroyed. A great panic prevails
through the whole country.

whole cavalry force, were in Culpcp

A brigade at U. s. Ford barely esca.
ped, leaving all their camp cquipage
behind.
Wheeler's brigade out from Freder-
icksburg intended to check the ad-
vance of Rockers army, but hearing
ofthe magnitude of the movement, be
ordered back his brigade, which fled
panic.stricken to their fortifcai
tions. Gems. Lee and Jackson are in
command of Fredericksburg, Longstreet
at Suffolk and P. Hill and Rickett in
North Carolina. Four brigades are
three miles this side Of the city, with
orders to fall back to the rife pits on
the approach of the Yankees. The
trains from Richmond failing to arrive
at Fredericksburg yesterday it is be.
lieved the railroad has been cut by a
portion Of our cavalry sent out for
that purpose.
The troops from Germania, Elys
and U. S. Fords have joined. Thus
far all is we'll. Lee had no alterna-
tive but to march out of Fredericks-
burg or fight, with certainty that Ms
whole army, if defeated, would be de-
stroyed or captured.
Stoneman, with his cavalry corps,
is in the rear of any position in which
Lee can possibly have fallen, and We
shall probably next hear that both
Virginia Central, and Richmond and
Fredericksburg railroads are severed.
In that case, he must fight with what
forces he already has, for no reinforce
ments can reach him before Hooker
falls upon his isolated forces. We re-
gard a great battle as inevitable, per.
haps already fought. The N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser says:
We have received information from
source which we know to be entitled
to . high degree of credit, which war
rants the hope that Gen. Hooker has
cut off the retreat Of the rebel forces
at Fredericksburg, and that they may
be captured and destroyed. While
our columns have crossed the Kappa
hammock, and others yet remain be-
fore the city, it is believed that Gen.
Stoneman's cavalry has got between
the rebels aud Richmond, and will
cut off their supplies and arrest their
retreat in that direction. 1t il also
understood that a strong diversion
has been made from Suffolk in the d.
rection of Richmond. and that it is by
no means impossible that the rebel
Capital may, before the close of anoth-
cr week, be surrounded and invested
by Union troops. ..
