Where There is Unity of Interest There
Should be Harmony in Action.
The Union of the South seems to ii*

•od,-’ and wo feel full confidence in the
acootnjSHsh^ont^f tb^^ultlprp.yitjt^
South Carolina, and perhaps two or
throe other-States-that? soom to be in a
•great hurry fof secession, would glv« tbw
bordor-States an opportunity to co-oper-
atA with them. Tho Governors of North
Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky havo
by their official communications So
faros they could, pledged their respective
States-to unite with all the slave holding
States in stick action as tho righU,honor
and interaste of all may denihnd. The
ontiro tone of tho press of Tennessee and
of many of their leading men, among
whom is Senator Johnson, is in exact ac-
corjimco with this position.
Now, in consideration of tho vast im
portuned of tho step proposed to bo tak-
on, would it not bo tho part of wisdom
,tp hold a Convention of’all (he §outh;
oi n States, and see if somo .course of
proceedure oonnot bo agreed upon by
which all, who pro identified in interest,
should unite their forces against our on-
erpy ?_ If thp border States were QUr en-

•in regarding their interests, or’hooding
their coutysels. ,But they are our friends,

“ You think wo do not rCalho tho
sentiment at tho South; you can hardly
tonllze tho pain which it causos at the
North. It ia still our conviction, in
spite of all tliat : you see, that finully
there will be no disruption of th^i Union
—thatCoiopemtion is improbnblo arid
Secession impossible, though South Car
olina may vote herself outof the Union.
Besides there will ho conciliation and
an unmistakable oxpreridon of tho con
servative sentiment of the North. f$to-

Georgia Arming.
Yesterday there arrived by the steam-,
or City of Hartford, from 1 lnrlfort180
cases of Sharp’* patent carbine's,
tnining 10 pieces * each', making in nil
arms for 1,800 men, nnd 40 ensofe Of
conical brills, each containing 1;000 bul
lets, or 4U,000 Cartridges in the aggre
gate. These arms arid ammunition 1
were ordered by telegraph from the*
Governor of Georgia, and will'bo sent
to Savannah bv the next fitenmer. The
sntho factory lias also 'received orders
Horn Alabama for 1,000 stands of the
same death-dealing weapons.
Cooper Pond, of this city, recoivo
from tWenty : to fifty ordero d«»ily IVom
South Carolina, Alabama- and Georgia
—and people who sup]M>sc that
South is not a paying customer may
i>o astonished to know that their' bus-
ess transactions in this lino are strict
ly on a cash) basis. Cash within ’ thirty
days is their invariable rukv Most of
the order* aro for riHes* and' Navy re*-
volvers, tliough Cooper & Pond supply
an immense number of flint look mus
kets, Tboy lately font twenty gun
carriages to Georgia, and have done
a brisk busineaa in all kinds of small
arips and ammunition with all the
principal Southern States.
Another largo house in this city has
filled orders for about A,000 stands of
musket* of the U.8. patent, and has
sold large quantities of artillery, sword*
and array pistols. It* orders .come
from all tho Southern States ; but
mainly fronvthosein w/uoh secession is
regarded os tho only rcinody for South
ern grievances. A. third .extousive.. es
tnblishmeut has supplied an iumionso-
number of Colt’*, revolver* und rifie* to,
Georgia; principally ..to Columbus. All
tho wholesale house* nnd agenoies in
tlio city hava been bat'd pressed to sup
ply tho orders for ..every imaginable
specie*, of weapon.' To. i tho above list
may be added Ames’ Manufacturing
Co., which has furnished Georgia with,
cannon and with 300 artillery swords,
and has done a large miscellaneous
business with all thq aggrieved States.
Th.o Journal ’of Commerce introduces
these facts with ’ tlio. following appro-,
priiite remarks. .
These Republican editor?,' preachers
nnd lefclurJs who think that the indig
nation of tho South is best,put down by
ridicule, and who, .therefore lavish the
resources of their buffoonery upon eve
ry reported-attempt of a Southern State
to arm her citizens for an ipincndjng
conflict, will find in the following facts
more evidence that tho So'ntli^ is, jn
earnest, and that the calamities of dis
union, which they would laugh away
with their ill-timed jests, are actually
imminent.

Rome, Ga. Doe, 1st' i860.
A groat national crisis is upon our.
beloved country. Such q crisis, : fis was
foretlindowed faintly in my letter from
Paris .upon ,tho basis of my. own phserva-
tiousjof th.o sfa.te of. Northern .^ontj-j
iricnt, as well os, therepr<v»optaMo|u of
men of mtclligcnco aqd information
from all parts of the North, wjUiwhom
I had tamed, m, foreign lands-rfiu: re
moved ffoin local excitements, .
Tho opinion which t had already
formed of the result of this lute'elcctlon
ha* been but foolUed In Vtho fact, and,
when I look back . upon it, I ani folly
satisfied that tho John Jlrown raid lias'
had the effect of diminishing somewhat,
tho Republican majorities. While the
rupture of tho Democratic party ut‘
Charleston, an’d divisions among our
own 'people have sOrvod to.increase
thosfi nmforitles. Still tho grand . ro*
suit has not been materially altorcd.—'
Both my own nhseryation arid informa
tion from oilier sources go far to show
to my dwh entire satisfaction, that frob-
soilism lias regularly and steadily gain
ed ground at tho North, until il Is iidu)
decidedly and anphaticallg in Jhepolitical as-
cendaol.
Docsony intelligent and obsorvont
pian really doubt this, ho has but tp

ho North and Judge for himself?

able, that in tho country—umong tlio sol-
Jd yeomanry of tlio country whero the
ballot box expressps the deep, abiding
sentiments of tho people, uninfluenced
by tho powerful artu Of public patron
age, and tho corruptirig influences of
the immense sums of money raised by
the merchants of New York and oilier
deeply Jinterested, merchahtllo and
manufacturing localities for swaying

from tho oxociftion of their detenn nate
purposeHave we aught of which 1 to
complain in all this? Are our liberties
of- person and property involved in this
issue? Have we any just cause for ro-
sistanco to the last extremity ? Hero
lies the question, in my estimation, which
'wo are culled .upon to -decide. The
question is often ask ed,, is the eleotion
of any’mnn to .the Chief Magistracy, in
sti'lot conformity .with tho prevision* of
the Constitution, just causo for the dis
solution of the Union? TO tins, query
I reply, (whatever.jnM’ be tho rc*i»on*e
of others), emphatically, No. Should
one of tho .States of tin* Union/ by the
passage of a personal liborly- bill, so
called, annul the provision, of the Con
stitution for tho rendition of fugill/o
slaves; Would this bb just oauso ‘for
dissolution. ' In my opinion it would riot.
If a John Brown, with ufew fanaticalfol-
lowers perpetrate a raid upon the peaces
able citizen* of Virginia, would this bo
just cause? No! If la groat sectional
party having tho control of the country,
express the purpose of setting bounds
about tbo institution of slavery, with a
view to its extinction! ’ is tho bare an
nouncement of this determination ftuf-
(loteriuinate policy of the Ijlack Rcpub-
lican * prirfy ? And if.tjiis is to bo ad
mitted, w}iero is pur own.safoty? ,
Our Northmen friend* toll us wo have,

True, but how long may wo.depend up
