Republican Sentiment after the Elec tion—What the South may Expect. “ I he election is over and Lincoln is elected by a larger majority of the popular vote than 1 was anticipated, and by the electoral vote of every free State. I’hus not only lias the consummation which the fire eaters of the South have for years proclaimed as the inevitable prelude to disunion been attained, but the job has been done so effectually, completely .and emphati cally, as to leave no doubt that the free peorile of the North meant they should be under stood. When eighteen millions of freemen speak as they spoke on Tuesday, thev make a noise that even the most stupid secession ist cannot fail to hear. (. “ Thus the people of the free North say to the slave oligarchy, 1 \\ e will endure your insolence, suffer your tyranny, bear with your assumption, no longer ! We have lis tened to your threats, as insulting as they were cowardly, of what you would do if we dare-1 to carry out our convictions of right, at the ballot box, and elect a man who would not bow the knee to yon, and who would place your accursed institution of slavery where the public mind would rest in the be lief that it would become finally extinct. You have sworn that if we dared to elect such a man you would dissolve the Un n. G e have elected him, and now we want you to tty your little game of secession, i-o it, if you dare. So long as you remain in the I niun, peaceably ami decntly, you shall enjoy your constitutional rights. But every man of yon who attempts to subvert this Union, which w- prize so dearly, wiil be hung as high as Haman. We will have no fooling about, the matter. By the Eti.r ?;.h,l the Union must be I’re-i.rved 1’ “ Such is the lecture read by the pj -op] • of the North to their Southern brethren on Tuesday. And now what will the chivalry do about it? Will they eat dirt? Wiil they take back all th -y have said about dis union, a southern confederacy, the rights of the South, tl e bl-io 1 of their encni e-, and all that sort of thing ? What will the Yanceys, the Rhetts, the Keitts, the Jeff Davi-es, and all that noble army of traitors, do ? 'To what dodge will Wise, f|,c doughty cham pion of the l!a; Stack' war, resort, in order to cover hi- inglorious retreat. Where is the army with which he was to march on ' Washington and seize the Federal city ? “ T+i.e chivalry will eat dirt ’They will back out. They never had any spunk any how.

As if to add the last cap stono to this absurdity of disunion bluster, the telegraph yesterday brought us the news that the Leg islature of South Carolina on Tuesday elected j her Presidential electors, and they had con cluded to postpone arming the State until they had ascertained that Lincoln was really elected 1 Poor devils 1 The smallest kind of a knot hole will be sufficient for them to crawl through now.” Tens writes the editorof the Chicago (HI.) /democrat, Lincoln’s home mouth piece.— \\ hat have our “overt act” friends to say now ? \\ ill they still wait to see whether or not Lincoln commits an “overt act?”—or will this insolent language not arouse them . to a just sense of the danger which threatens the South? The programme of Lincoln is clearly shadowed forth in the above article, which is the ultimate extinction of starery; ami we are insultingly told that if we do not submit to his rule—suffer him and his fol lowers to ride rough-shod over our constitu tional rights —we will be “hung as high as Haman.” How do the people of the South, particularly those who do not think the time for resistance lias come, like that threat ? Are they “ cowardly devils,’’ as as serted by this Lincoln editor, and will they “eat dirt” by taking back ail that they have ever “ said about the rights of the Smith ? God forbid 1 Lincoln has triumphed upon a purely sectional issue, that of eternal hos tility to the South, and the du>y of every Southern man, who has one particle of pa triotism in his soul, is plain. “ Come weal or come woe/’ he should stand by his sec tion, and never submit to have Hamlin, a i negro in blood, our A ice President, nor a ! man of Lincoln's in fernal principles, degrad ing and destructive to our rights, our honor, ami subversive of every just principle of the Constitution, to be our President Let him take a 60Z7 and firm stand, and show to Lincoln and the incarnate devils who follow in his lead, that the “chivalry” of the ' “ Sunny South ” will have their constitution al rights, or dissolve the Union in the at tempt.

No. 1. J/isszw. Editors, I propose, as time and opportunity may offer, to examine the ques tion of secession. No person acquainted with the organization of our present federal sys- ■ t-m will, I apprehend, deny the right of a : State to secede. It will, however, be inter esting to take a brief sk- tch of the origin and progress of our present Constitution, and ‘to advert to th .-e parts of it immediately ■ connected with this question. 1 lie States that compose this C mfederaev enti-red the compact voluutaiily. There was no force used by any power on earth, nor could there be, to compel them t-> ratify the ; Con.-titution, and thus to become parties to ■ the fed-ral compaet. It then follows, as a rational and as a legitimate, sequence from this pr'position, that after having ratified tb<- Co'.istit'ition by their own free will and accord, as independent. Seven- gnti- no power on earth has a right to u-e force to compel them to remain patties to the com- I pact, when they determine to withdraw.— i The States have an indubitable right to withdraw from the federal compact, whenever any portion <4 that compact has been viola ted by the other parties to it To say noth : ing ot the burthens that the South has now ; to bear, and the onerous burthens that she 1 has borne for years past, the refusal on the 1 put of several of the non slavehohiing States I to respect and to enforce that portion of the [ Con.-titution that refers to the recapture of I fugitive slaves, affords ample reason for the withdrawal of the Southern States from the I Confederacy, and ample reason to authorize I them to setup for themselves. I lie American Union has ceased to be a : Union of love. It is no longer a Union of sentiment The Constitution lias been dis regarded and trampled under foot, and a i reckless majority at the North are, in their m id c ucer, .determined to destroy the South, i and demolish thegoverumsnt. Constitutions are intended to protect minorities—to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak; but ■ how can this be done, if the strong leap over the barriers that the Constitution interposes. The American Union is no longer the Union that cur fathers left us. It has been desecrated by fanaticism. We see warlike preparations being made North and South. It is well enough to prepare for war; but in my humble opinion the most effective way to ; avoid bloodshed in this government is for the ■ Southern States to dissolve all connection with their enemies at the North and to es tablish an independent government of their own. No man need entertain fears that secession is a revolutionary movement. We are ask ed, Has one State a right to set up an inde pendent government within the jurisdictional limits of the United States ? When a State secedes she is not within the jurisdictional limits of the United States any more than the Island of Cuba is, or than the Republic of Texas was, prior to her annexation to the . United SttHes. '1 he very act of secession places her beyond the jurisdiction of the U- ■ States, and she occupies precisely the same relation to the other Stat s that she did prior to the ratification of the Constitution. Again : when one State secedes the gov- ' eminent is dissolved as far as that State is concerned. 'The States that remain in the ; Confederacy may carry on the government as best tlmy can; but the jurisdictional lim its of the federal government does not em brace the State after she resumes her position a- a seperate and independent government. Ihis idea should always be borne in mind : th: tour- is not a government of the people in an aggregate mass, but it is a government formed by the union of seperate, distinct, sovereign governments, delegating to a com . mon agent certain powers for specific pur poses. This government was formed to pro mole the “general welfare;” but it is used ( to oppress one section simple dic ; peculiar views ot another section Has the South sufficient ontise to secede? : The sentiment that has triumphed in the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presi dency is but one of a series of causes that I affords the South just grounds to feel that : there is ir;longer any hope for her equality in the Uni<n. Chains have been forged for her, and sir must make up her mind to wear i them meekly, or she must wake up the spirit that animated our .noble ancestors in the bloody struggle for our liberties, and spurn the handjhat would enslave her, and curse j the heart tbat would degrade her noble, gal lant and chivalrous sons to a level with the African race, who were intended by God to 1 be the inferior of the white man. There is no treason in secession. A sovereignty can- ; not commit treason, for it owes no allegiance j I to any power on earth ; nor can a citizen of a j State commit treason when acting in obedi ence to the command of the State. Listen ■ to the worcs of wisdom : “ I have niver believsil that, a State could nullify and remain h the Union ; but have always believed that a State night secede when she pleased, provided she would pay her proportion of the public debt; and this right 1 have considered the best guard to public liberty and to public justice, that could be de sired, and it ought to have prevented what is now felt in the South— oppresion.—Nathaniel Macon, I in 1833. “ That a State,as a party to the constitutional com pact, has a Lupit to secede, acting in the same capac ity i.) wlihFUiatilied the con. titution, cannot with any show of reason, be denied by any one who re gards the constitution as a compact—if a power should lie insulted by t ie amending power, which would radically change the character of the constitu tion, or the nature of the system ; or if the former I should fail to fuilil the ends for which it was estab lished. This results necessarily from the nature of ; i the compact, where the parties to it arc sovereign; and of com have no higher authority to which to appeal. That the effect ot secession would be to i place her in the relation of a foreign State to others is equally clear. Nor is it le-s so that it would make her (n > her eitiz- is individually) responsi ble to them in th tcharacter. All this result-, ne cessarily, from the nature of a compact between sov- Creign parties. —( alhouu's II orks pa-c 301.

She is now ready for se ! cession.

It is a Union in form—the sub-tance is gone. Cherokee. Dalton, Nov. 21, ls-60. For die North Georgia Times. Hanging Lincoln. Mr. Editor, — li is a favorite theory of some id our naii-es' advocates of union that we tin: ' -'i i Lincoln lake his seal ami then '* ■■ ■ d n't -!■> right, bang him.” It wll n qti re '.m' a lew words l-> show that th:- |> ■ position, uha-h is tb-üblless urged wll h >i rr ;o-.-iI than knowledge, is not on \ -u . . i ! .e, lir.t literally all -tird. Lidm J. it i- n< xt to impossible to 1 tell, w.th any di glee oi certainty, v. hat is the teal policy ol those who advise such a • c urse. The Constitution of the United i Slates inak'-- provision for the impeach ' ; n ent of federal officers and their putii.-lr ; uient when convicted, but it says express ly that “judgment in cases of impeach ment sh ill not extend farther than to re- : inoval from office, ami disqualification to 1 , hold and enj «y any office of honor, trust, i or profit, under the United States ; but : j the party convicted shall, nevertheless. be liable and subject to indictment, trial : ■ judgment, and punishment according to law.” The Constitution also provides i that the officers of the government mtrnt be impeached, if at all, by the House of Representatives, ami tried by the Senate, and two thirds of the members present ' must cniirtH' before the accused can be found guil'y. A majority of the tnernoers ■ in both houses are from the North, and Lincoln has much more than one third of ; the Senate, and will inevitably have a . ' majority before his four years administra tion closes. These mon arc his partisans ' ’ and followers, who did ail in their power to elect him. Now. does not. any man, ■ who will look at this subject, see at a I glance that Lincoln may do all the aboli tionists of the North ask of him, and it will be utterly impossible to impeach and remove him from the execuiive office of i the government ? But they say “we will ■ hang him, if he violates the Constitution.” , And how is Lincoln to be hung ? By mob I law ? Ol course not. 'The originators and ■ present advocates of this ridiculous idea I say that “the laws must not be violated.” They even go so far as to talk to y >u of treason, il yon wish to separate yourself from Northern abolitionism. Lincoln, then, must be hung according to law, if at all. He must be hung for treason. Now, what is treason? We go to the Constitii' tion lor an answer. This instrument de clares that “treason againt the United I States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and confort.”— I And hirthei; that “no person shall be j i convicted of treason unless on the testimo- i | ny of two witnesses to the same overt j ' act, or on confession in open court.”-- I Now the worst abolitionist in America' would not, peihaps, wish to levy war; against, the United States, or adhere to ■ their enemies giving them aid and c.i>n fort. lie wi.nld in.-ist on ttsii g the g >v--I cinineiit of Ihe United Stales as his in-i striiment in restraining and crippling and finally destroying the institution ol slavery. Instead of warring on the gov s j eminent literally, he-would unite with it-I in an effort to oppress and ruin the South, j He would have it. second his designs , and < o-operrate with him, instead of ar- j raying him-self, in open warfare, against j i it. How then could you hang Lincoln ? j Suppose he aTi’il Tils putty should abolish ■ ' slavery in the District of Columbia, would ; that be levying war against the United I States ? But the Slate of Georgia han said that for this she would dissolve the ! UttioD. Suppose the Black Republicans nhotild prohibit the traffic in slaves be~ ; I tween the Elutes, would that be treason j for which they could be hung? SupposeJ Lincoln uses the money and patronage of : the government in planting and fostering ; the growth of abolitionism in the South- i : ern States, until we slaveholders and all —shall be in constant dread ol a rebellion o! the slaves, headed by abolition leaders 1 would that be a levying of war against i the United States or an adhering to her ; enemies, for which Lincoln could be legal- j i ly hung ? In a word, Hie re "is~ iTiTmich thing as executing this unmeaning threat. Let the Black Republicans, with Lincoln : at their head, do what they will to take I ! away the constitutional rights of the ' I Southern people, and neither they nor their leader can be hung for it. What they do is done by the power and through the instrumentality of the government itself. How then are they to be convicted of levying war against it ? The idea is ab surd. John B.own and his followers were hung because they made a lawless inva sion on Hie South —Lincoln in Lis admin istrati Hi proceeds under tile form and pro 1 - tection > f law, and much more surely and dangerously lor us. But suppose Lincoln were really and technically guilty of treason against the government, and tried and convicted for it, could we hang h.m even then ? \\ ho would execute the sentence of the law? He would have the army, navy and treas tiry in his possession. Besides this, lie would lie supported and defended by the dominant party in the Republic. It would be utterly impossible to have the law en- ■ forced The man who would attempt it would expose himself to certain defeat and ruin, as well as the ridicule and con tempt of all sensible men. Mr. Editor, this proposition to hang Lincoln is lint another name for nnqualili cd submission to whatever indignity am! outrage our abolition enemies may choose to inllict upon us. If we wait for the “overt act of treason,” within the defini tion of the Constitution, we may wait for ever. The abolitionists can accomplish their work without, it —I'hey may drive us from the territories —they may prohibit the slave trade between the Stales —re* peal all laws for the recovery of fugitives f: m labor, and even abolish slavery in t io Suites themselves —they may reduce t ie white man to an equality wtih the tie ■ gio, and finally bring on a war of exter imitation between the two races, and ue ver “levy war against the United States, . ; or adhera to their enemies giving them aid and comfort ” And until they do this ; last these sevapo'ions. law abiding men can . not hang Lincoln or any of his followers Georgia Legislature. • Friday.

Mr Jones of Newton, moved tore consid er so much of the action of the Senate on I yesterday, as relates to the printing of five . ■ hundred copies ot the special message of the , Governor. His reasons were, that the prin ting of so many copies would make a heavy bill o' expense, ami before the copies ordered • : to be printed, could be distributed amongst t their constituents, it would have been read ; by them in the columns of the. newspapers. On this motiou he would call for the yeas and nays. } The yeas and nays being ordered, were U yeas thirty eight, nays sixty-four; so the t motion to re consider was lost. fl Mr. Johnson, ofCass, laid on the table a , resolution, that so much of the Governors ’ i Message as relates to the prodosition of Maj. ; 31.

He also objected to the expense that would be incurred by the ‘ printing of the bill. i Mr. Printup, of Floyd, advocated the prim I' ting of the bill. He thought, the expense was r not to be taken into consideration when the i importance of the bill was considered. Mr. .McGehee, of Houston, thought if . there was any measures that would come up during the present session that required the !
