The Flan of the Secessionists. Freemen
Arouse!
A correspondent ot the Angusta Consti
tutionalist, writing from Lexington, during
the week of Court, gives the following ex
pose of tho ends and aims of the Secession
ists:
AYe learn, this week, through a friend,
that the plan for dismemberment, which
is understood to be the programme of
the leaders in tho South, and at tho Cap
ital, is to establish at Washington City
tt temporary Government, which will
be ratified by the several Legislatures of
the Southern States, as it is probable that
in most, or all of them, there will bo a
majority of the Breckinridge party, and
for the Legislatures to appoint delegates
to a Southern Convention to he assembled
for the purpose of framing and estahlish-
g a Constitution.
In this way the people of the South,
through the forms of law, are to he drawn
out of the Union without any opportunity
of expressing at any stage of the proceed
ings their wishes about it. The members
of their Legislatures, elected without re
ference to such an issue, are to ratify for
them, whether they will or n<% this tem-
porttfy govermneht of th£’leadtsrAat'life
Capital, and they are also- to appoint for
them, whether they will or not, delegates
to a Southern Convention to make a Con
stitution.
If this does not succeed, the Georgia
Legislature is to throw out a bait to Caro
lina and Alabama hy pledging the State
of Georgia to stand by and defend any
State that will first secede.
If this fails, then there is to be a revolu
tion started among our own people hy ji
mob. This mob, for instance, will drive
out from Georgia the last vestige of the
General Government, by expelling first her
courts, marshals, postmasters, custom
house officers, &c. If this move is resisted
by our own people, the war is to be waged
to the death by fire, devastation and plun
der.
People of Georgia, aro 3*ou ready for
this? Revolution is suspended over you,
and you must meet it face to face in loss
than three months. Wake up, look around
you, and prepare to take ther' iino 'Hide or
the other of this fearful issue. You must
either crush it by an overwhelming majori
ty at the ballot-box on the sixth of Novem
ber, or it will meet you at inid-day. and
demand your endorsement or your head
immediately’ thereafter. You may shut
your eyes and try to ignore this issue until
the election is over, but it - will not be ig
nored longer. There will bo no middle
ground after this. Either we must be
treasonable revolutionists or despicable
submissionistB. Wo must be the enemies
of each other, with brotherarrayed against
brother, and neighbor against neighbor,
each fooking forward to success and victo
ry, or defeat aud the halter. Chose you
this day the one side or the other.
These fearful steps to bo taken hereaf
ter, will depend upon the number of votes
cast for Breckinridge in tho Southern
States. Remember, voters of Georgia,
that every ballot yon cast for Breckinridge
is so many words of encouragement to re
volutionists immediately after the election.
You arc adding impetus and velocity to
this great Juggernaut, which will be rolled
with thundering fury over this fair land,
to sweep as with a besom of destruction our
Government, our institutions, our peace
and prosperity, for ages to come. Look
well, then, to this. If revolution counncn
ees, its fruits can be calculated by no mor
tal pen. You and I must fight on the one
side or the other, or be gibbeted at our own
doors before our wives and children. Are
y:ou ready for it? If you are not, abandon
this Breckinridge organization, which you
have encouraged too much and too long
already, and cast your ballots for the gal
lant Douglas of Illinois, or Joliu Bell of
Tennessee.
You have been lulled already into a let h-
argy on this subject, which will probably
be fatal. Our distinguished imn, who are
political leaders, have pretended to the
people that they were not for disunion, but

An Excellent Letter.
R. F. Fatten, candidate for district at
torney of the new Judicial District com
posed of tlie parishes of Lafayette, St. Lan
dry, Calcasieu and Vermillion, La., having
been taunted by the Opelousas Courier
with being a rara avis—a Douglas man
supporting Bell and Everett, he thus re
plies to that paper:
“ As to your term of rara avis as applied
to my humble self, Mr. Courier, you ought
to know that I cannot return the compli
ment, for the finest birds are always the
rarest aud there is certainly many a bird
in the world that sports a brighter plumage,
and sings a sweeter note than the Opelou
sas Courier.
I am a Douglas Democrat in principle.
I am also supporting, and voting for, Bell
and Everett. I do so, Mr. Courier, as an
American freeman, possessing the plenary
right to judge and vote for myself. I see
no possible chance for Douglas to carry
Louisiana. I believe that I do see a chance
—a lair prospect—lor Bell and Everett to
carry the State. Therefore, in supporting
Bell and Everett, I consider that I am but
helping to elect a sound and national tick
et against the Abolitionist, Lincoln. As to
Breckinridge, even if the party of wjiich
be is the standard-bearer, was free from
tlie suspicion, palpable and strong, of dis
union, yet he has no chance, either South
or North, against Lincoln.
Scarcely one Republican State in the
Union executes this part of the Constitu
tion. Massachusetts is in open rebellion
against it, in its personal Liberty Bill. Iu
Wisconsin, Booth, the convict of the U. S.
Court, defies the Law and the Constitu
tion, under State protection. Brincker-
liplf is just elected Judge in Ohio, who, if
we recollect aright, holds tho Fugitive
Slave Law to be unconstitutional. The
“John Brown is Right” man, Mr. Andrew,
is the Republican candidate for Governor
of Massachusetts.
Thus tho Republicans talk of enforcing
Laws by arms, before they, themselves,
obey them, or set the example of obedience.
Are they not precipitating revolution ?—
AT. Y. Express.
The Union—What is it?
The Republicans of tho North have some
queer ideas of Jnion. Mr. Curl Schiirz’a
idea of uniting the Yankee Abolitionists,
the Germans and the Scandinavians to fight
the South,—to make subjects of citizens
there,.—a very European, and un-American
idea,—we have already dwelt upon.—
Dragooning the South,—ticking the South,
•—crushing the South, is- very common
Northern Republican. The Carl Sclmrz
orators have drilled, even into many’ Ame
rican minds, the idea that this is a Gov
ernment of SUBJECTS, not Of CITIZENS.
Henry Clay, in 1850, foresaw the rising
Northern Sectional Party, and in warn
ing bis countrymen against it, said:
“ The Abolitionists, let me suppose, suc
ceed in their present aim of uniting the in
habitants of the free States, as one man,
against the inhabitants of the Slave States.
And this process of reciprocal consolida
tion will bo attended with all the violent
prejudices, embittered passions, and im
placable animosities, which ever degraded
or deformed human nature. A virtual dis
solution of the Union will have taken place,
nitile the forms of its existence remain. The
most valuable element of union, mutual
kindness, tlie feelings of sympathy, tho fra
ternal bonds, which now happily unite us,
will have been extinguished forever. Ono
section will stand in menacing and hostile
array against the other.”
The virtual dissolution of the Uuion al-
I'eady exists. Our Southern countrymen
are uneasy and alarmed. They may, for
self-defence, organize and rush to arms.—
Mr. Clay predicted something like it in add
ing on to what we have quoted above :
“The collision of opinion will bo quickly
followed by r tho clash of arms. I will not
attempt to describe scenes which now hap
pily lie concealed from our view.”
ihe Lincoln and Seward idea, that wc
can have “a conflict” with the South, and
keep up a Union with that South is neces
sarily followed by Carl Shurz’s appeal to
arms. Conflicts imply subjection; arms
are necessary to subjection,—jind hence,
as Mr. Clay foresaw,—
“ The collision of opinion will be quickly
followed by the dash of arms."
Tho leading idea of the Republican Press
and Republican mind, is, that if a South
ern State appeals from this Lincoln and
Seward “conflict” to State Sovereiglity,
—we. of the. North must shoot dowu the
rebels! Force, certainly, is the inevitable
result of “the conflict” that is to go on, un
til we subdue tho South, or the South sub
dues us. And yet, in Republican mind
and judgment, all this is Union! all this is
conservatism !
The Republican mind of the North must-
be rc-educuted before it ean understand
this Union!. Their idea of a Union of
Force is not the free will, voluntary Union,
onr Fathers created for ns. Their subject
idea, to repeat ourselves, is notour Fathers’
citizen idea. If this were to be a Govern

A UNION OF PARTIES FOR THE SAKE OF
THE COUNTRY.
TO THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA !
You will not consider it improper for
me to call your earnest consideration to the
movement of all parties in Mass Meetings
assembled at Atlanta on Wednesday night,
and at Newnan on Thnrsday last.
For many years, the people have been
constantly excited by the appeals of the
politicians in behalf of their respective par
ties. Divisions and strifes have been the
only fruit gathered from these contentious.
Those strifes and divisions have continued
to multiply’ and increase, until the peace
of the country’ and the integrity of the Go
vernment are, by consent of all, most seri
ously’ threatened with an early and irrepa
ruble disturbance.
The Union and the South have a com
mon enemy. That enemy is seeking to got
control of tho Union and perffert i6 from
its originafdesign, and through such per
version they seek to gratify a fanatical hos
tility to theinstitutionsof the South. Slave
ry aided in forming the Union, and, among
other inducements, to secure its own tran
quility. He, therefore, who wars upon
either, is the enemy of both. This is the
historical inexorable logic which must de
monstrate to infamy the whole “ irrepres
sible conflict” disciples of the day.
To save this Union from such an enemy
and ourselves from such a fate, we have no
common organization, and work with no
common purpose. We exhibit energy—
immense energy—but it is all to rend each
other, aud that, too, in the face of a jeering,
knocking, defiant, fanatical, harmonious foe.
Shall this state of things continue ?
Five thousand patriots, of all parties, as
sembled at. Newnan on Thursday last, with
a rising vote, and a swelling shout answer
ed, “ This state of things shall not con
tinue !”
Voters of Georgia! We appeal to you
to help us redeem this pledge of patriot
ism.
Allow me, in a few words, to state the
occasion which has led to this union of par
ties in the meetings mentioned—the plan
by which we propose to carry it out, and
the results which wc anticipate from it.
1. The recent elections in the Northern
States—especially the unexpected result
iu Pennsylvania—have convinced us that
the Republican party’ will elect their sec
tional, anti-slavery candidates to the Pre
sidency and Vice Presidency, unless some
thing is speedily done to prevent it.
However much partizans may differ as
to the propriety or impropriety, the right
or the wrong, of submitting to their admin
istration, we all do see, and must know,
that the very election of these men will
most seriously endanger the Union. Anglo-
Americans have never yet submitted tame
ly to the rule of an avoiVed enemy.
’ It is also very’ apparent that this Union,
once dissolved, will never be reformed. It
was a difficult task for our fathers—so fresh
from common struggles—so full of a com
mon patriotism—so drawn by a common
necessity—and so identified' by’ a common
interest—to frame and adopt our present
Constitution, our common bond of Unio
Were this task now to be performed, will
any man pretend that we, with our section
al animosities and our constant strifes, our
hateful divisions and ourclaslnng interests,
would be sufficient for it. But, if, after
this Constitution has been formed, and sev
enty-five years of progressive greatness
has so fully demonstrated its efficiency,
madness aud folly shall destroy it, can we
look to the same people for wisdom and
moderation to reform it? It is folly to
think so.
We have many true and tried friends of
all onr • parties iu the North. They are
united. From them we have assurances
that our divisions are contributing, in no
small degrcc^to weaken our friends and en
courage our enemies. Our union here will
give our enemies in the North, a terrible
warnfng.nnd our friends a cheering strength.
Our conclusion then is, we ought to cease
our quarrels and come together.
2. How shall this be done ? It would
be illiberal to the last degree, in a work and
for a purpose of this kind, for any one par
ty to require all or both the other parties
to come to one. Doubtless we are allcquul-
ly honoat. To attempt, in a ••compromise,
to bring all to one, is to defeat ail compro
mise and perpetuate strife. A mutual good
is intended, and mutual concessions must
be made. We, therefore, in the mectiugs
referred to, joined in a kind but earnest de
mand of the three Executive Committees
of the State tomeet at mice, and from the
three tickets now in the field, in a mutual
liberal spirit, to arrange a Common Ticket
having due regard to the probable strength
of the three parties in the Stats, and pre
sent that Ticketjbr the undivided votes
of our people; aud with instructions that

3, The results to be secured are many’
and all of great importance. I willmen-
tion a few of the prominent.
In tho first plaeg, as already ^intimated,
onr friends in the Jforth need the moral
power of this union in the South. Our en
emies there believe we hold our little party
isms paramount to the great object—Lin
coln's defeat. This union will convince
them that they are mistaken. Now, when
the election of an “irrepressible conflict”® “
agitator is first made to appear so immi
nent. let them see us laying aside our local
and party ditfereuces, and coming together
to avert, if possible, a common calamity.
By Lincoln's defeat we can save the Union,
and we should lay aside all other differ
ences until that is accomplished. Though
the canvass is advanced, we still boliqve
that this movement will have a sufficient
affect t<> save I will Pennsylvania and New
York. Our friends so assure us ; aud if it
tain aid to this result, all good men should
at once endorse it. Certainly our divisions
cannot aid our friends at the North These
divisions have already’ proven disastrous
to them, and, to that extent at least, dis
graceful to us.
The Union, then, is the first groat ob
ject of our efforts; and surely when its his
tory’ is remembered, when its benefits are
appreciated, and when its hopes are calcu
lated, here is object enough. But if these
are all to be disregarded, wo have yet. in
ducement enough for its preservation.—
Despots have said Unpeople aro incapable
of self-government. Tyrants have toltl
their peoplo that/aefions and internal dis
cord would destroy’us. Kings and rulers
have said our. experiment was a f:iiIuro.—
Shall we fulfil their prophecies ? Millions
of down-trodden subjects tho world over
arc struggling for the blessings of . Consti
tutional liberty, and are pointing to our ex
ample as the evidence that thoso blessings
aro attainable. Shall voe reply that their
argument is false? Religious Liberty’ fills
all its holy armory from our temples, and
is pushing its conquests to the end of civi
lization. Shall we say that Conscience
set free is Licentiousness unbound ?
All these, and much more, shall we do
and say when passion and folly shall dis
solve this Union.
But in tho second place let me say T , sup
pose wc cannot preserve the Uuion. Sup
pose tho uwful crisis must be mot, in what
condition shall wo bo prepared best to meet
united or divided? Had we not better -
meet the issue as brethren than as enemies ?
Our eneniios can never conquer us. Our
divisions may—our divisions will, if they
be not. healed, and that speedily’.
In any view that can be taken—wheth
er Lincoln is to be defeated, or whether lie is
to be elected; whether the Union is to be
preserved, endangered, or dissolved, our
only safety is in harmony. Our govern
ment, else our safety, being tho issue, di
vision is our defeat, and union onr victory.
If, tlieu, voters of Georgia, parties divide
y’on, they who encourage y r ou to support
party are your enemies; your greatest ene
mies, since their counsel ffc to destroy’ your
selves.
If either of the existing parties, by’their
leaders and presses, shall refuse to join and
approve their effort to unite the South and
defeat Lincoln and save the Union, such a
party ought to be repudiated by all Zlie
people. Such was the noble resolve.-pf the
great meeting at Newilan. For. one, I
shall redeem this pledge, if it weretosevdid rv
the dearest party ties. But the supporters J
of Mr. Bell are everywhere warmly in fa
vor of tho movement.
It is to bo greatly desired that, both the
other parties shall approve and join tho
movement at once, but if either shall re
fuse, the peoplo owe it to their country-Rml
their self-respect, to rebuke the party’ re
fusing, by an overwhelming vote. -Can it
bo possible that we shall have a party’; in
Georgia refusing to unite with ail the peo
ple to defeat Lincoln, aud to save the Union ?
At such a lime, in such an issue, will any
continue to make party’ strife, and keep
the people divided ?
W hen our friends at the North are about
to be overwhelmed, and are calling on us
to unite and thus aid them by the moral pow
er which such a union will give, will any
true Southern man, any’true Union man,
refuse? And will the honest voters sus
tain a party’ that shall thus refuse t Are
our friends to be deserted, our Union to bo
endangered, and Lincoln to be elecced—aro
our strifes to continue—and party wrang-
lings still to disgrace us, to enable a few
party leaders and presses to get control of
a few State offices r
Honest voters of Georgia, spurn a man
who approaches yon now in the name of
party ? Listen to no one who thus holds
party above country, and division -above
harmony. They are your worst enemies.—
It was a glorious sight to see Bell men, and
Breckinridge ineii, and Douglas men for
getting their differences, and coming to
gether, as they did in Newnan, and resolv
ing to unite as brethren against a common
enemy, and resolving also, to repudiate any
party’ that should continue to divide us.—
None wlio saw that, happy* sight will ever
forget it. t - . ’ '• '' '
Voters of Georgia, let this patriotic feel
