>'•«. precedent of the ist blishnnnt of a
.- •• ly sectional administration on such an
n.d ba>is. It Lincoln could lead in such a
of presidents, any man could Mlow; and

i * sh se positions covered all possible

so weak and so foolish as to l»ase any
a: action for our own security on trie per- i
■-7 -xu.px of Lincoln* That is the
- t of the proposition of those who talk
■’ " “ overt acts."
L-r true propositions are these? Can the
N.»u h submit to the Black Republican pro-
- .m n - as enunciated in the campaign books i
s <1 by the speakers and papers of that parly ? ■
i. WS.S t’.e establishment of their programme, as
v ' g•; dng principles in the administration of
»<• i « .’krai Government, which was the point
as*. r:cd in the canvass, and affirmed in the elec- i
t . n by a m.tj .ruy ot the Northern votirs and ‘
xii but one or two of ti»e Northern Stales. Who
and what is Abrauaiu Lincoln but a mere straw
upon the top of the seething fanatical cauldron?
He is elected President, but what wise man will
.ook at any thing more than the wwaafntf cf his
.-Ing put tlierr ? M hat was the national pro-
- mime affirmed by it ? We say it was simply
and only this: that African slavery as it exists
"s the Southern States is a disgrace, a crime,
vud a nuisance which must be abated by the
* hole power and influence of the General Gov- I
eminent! M e say’ that was the substantial
proposition affirmed by the Black Republican
I triumph—embodied in the dogmas of the irre
pressible conflict—no more slave territory’—no
more slave States and all the thousand and one
postulates of the campaign Helper Book and the
i Black Republican orators and speakers.
Now’ it is the solemn affirmation of this doc
trine and policy in the election by the Northern
people exclusively’ of a sectional President, and
the tacit assent of the South thereto by a peace
ful acxpiiescence in the inauguration and admin
istration of its representative, which constitute
the whole essence of the matter. We care not,
as to the ultimate result of such an affirmation
and acquiescence, whether Lincoln is a fair rep
resentative of the policy, and sustains it by con
stitutional acts or not. It is the precedent
which is to be dreaded—it is the principle
which must be resisted. Both affirmed will as
surely, in time work out their vicious conse
quences upon the social organization of the
South, as if Lincoln were Garrir himself, ami
iis'cil the coercive power of the Government to
accumulate them, without the slightest regard
to the Constitution? Nay, it would be better
for the South that some such man as Smith or
Garrison should inaugurate the sectional dom
ination, for then it would be less insidious, and
therefore less dangerous. Let reflecting men
consider these suggestions.
Self preservation requires the Southern States
to make a firm and immovable stand against
this policy. We will not undertake io say up
on what terms they could safely acquiesce in
Lincoln’s administration; but certainly’ when
none which would not render the precedent
inijn/Kslblt in the way of future policy. The
Southern States should one ami all refuse utter
ly to acquiesce in that administration, as things
stand.
PUBLIC MEETINGS.
Oglethorpe.—What is characterized as “the
largest meeting ever held in the county,’’ took
place in Lexington last Monday’, and was addres
sed by Hon. I’. R. R. Cobb. The meeting declar
ed that the South ought not, and will not, sub
mit to Lincoln's administration, endorsed the
policy of a State Convention, and recommended
a Convention of tha Southern States.
Greene.—At a crowded meeting at Greens
boro’ held on the IGth, Col. Y. P. King, Hon.
i’homa- Stocks, and Dr. Thomas N. Poullain
presiding, I >r. N. M. Crawford and Professor
Tucker addressed the assemblage. A series of
resolutions occupying two columns of the Au
gusta papers was adopted, arguing against has.
ty and immediate secession. They resolved
that " the South ought not to submit except
teiopornrily to the policy which resulted in
the election ol Lincoln, but for various rea
sons they do not think the election perse a suf
ficient cause for disunion. They therefore re
commend a Convention of the people of Geor
gia, and a Convention of the Southern States,
firmly asserting our rights, and in case they
are refused by’ the North then to secede.
11 \ncocr met on the 19th, and resolved that
| “no tame or submissive measures should be
tolerated But they’ opposed haste, and re
commended a resort to other means than seces
sion—to direct trade and retaliatory’ legisla
tion. During the meeting Judge Thomas sub
mitted a series of resolutions, declaring the
election ot Lincoln no cause of disunion—the
duty to wait for some unconstitutional acts—
that the South should demand the repeal of
unconstitutional legislation by the Northern
States, and calling upon our Legislature to
pass retalitory acts. These resolutions passed
after a hard struggle.
Demonstration of the Minute Men To-
Night.
\\ e learn that the Procession of Minute Men
to night will leave their rendezvous, at the
Court House, precisely’ at half past seven, and
march to Concert Hall, with torches, transpa
rencies and music, where they will be address
ed by’ Messrs. Tracy and Anderson. The Min
ute Hen, in town, now number over 600 men,
embodied in four companies, to-wit: Company
A., under ( apt. B. F. Ross; Company 8., Capt.
Geo. G. Griffin; Company’ C., Capt. Adder
hold ; Company D., Capt. Win. T. Massey.—
There are other companies in the county pre
cincts, but they will not probably turn out on
this occasion. A parade of this number of
men, with torches and transparencies will be a
fine sight.
LEGISLATURE.
Not much of importance was done on Wednes
day. In the Senate a resolution was adopted to
bring on the election of electors next Saturday,
and a long discussion took place upon a bill to
change the manner of electing or appointing
Superior Court Judges, pending which the Sen
ate adjourned. \a<.o i> umrnpm cant bills were
disposed if. In the House a legion of private
and unimportant hills were introduced, and the
question of reces.-- was decided in the negative.
The House by a large majority, on yesterday,
adopted a Resolution that when the Legislature
adjourns, it adjourn sinx die. This vote decides
the fate of the proposition to have a recess un
til after the State Convention meets.
ABOUT THESE TIMES
We imagine the Wall Street Bankers and
Brokers who undertook to do a little private
engineering for Lincoln in order to “ quiet the
country" are looking a little wild! It will be
seen that the New York Banks have turned
their specie into a common purse in order (as
is illeged) to make a joint fight ayainet suspen
sion, but we conclude it is more for the sake of
securing unanimity tn suspension. We shall
look for a general bank suspension there very
shortly—perhaps to-day’. New York will learn
this winter that it is the crops and business of
the South, and not the West, which must be
relied upon for a smooth financial current.
GOODS FROM BAL TIMORE FOR THE FAIR
It will be seen from our telegrams that a full
steamer s cargo of goods are on their way from
Baltimore for exhibition at our Fair. Truly
the the material is coming and no mistake.
HARPER’S MAGAZINE.

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 1860.
1 A REPLY TO THE LATE SPEECH
I Os the Hon. A. H. Stephens and the Cap
tains who are for fighting in the Union.
, M. M.
A Lixcolmsm.—The Chicago Democrat, a
leading Lincoln organ, in its issue of the Bth
inst., said:
The election is over and Lincoln is elected,
| by a larger majority of the popular vote than
was anticipated, and by the electoral vote of
every free State.
Thus not only has the consummation which
the fire eaters of the South have for years pro
claimed as the inevitable prelude to disunion
been attained but the job has been done so ef
fectually, completely and emphatically, as to
leave no doubt that the free people of the North
meant they should be understood. When eigh
teen millions of freemen speak as they’ spoke
on Tuesday, they make a noise that even the
most stupid secessionist cannot fail to hear.
Thus the free people of the free North say to
the slave oligarchy’, “We will endure your in
solence, suffer your tyranny’, bear with your as
sumption no longer! We have listened "to your
threats, as insulting as they were cowardly. o»
what you would do, ifwedan'd to carry out our
convictions of right, at the ballot-box, and elect
a man who would not bow the knee to you, and
who would place your accurse<l institution of
slavery where the public mind would rest in the
belief that it would finally become extinct.
You have sworn that if we dared to elect such
a man you would dissolve the Union. We have
elected him, and now we want you to try’ your
little game ot secession. Doit, if you dare!—
So long as you remain in the Union, peaceably
and decently, you shall enjoy your constitution
al rights. But every man of ycu who attempts
to subvert this Union, which we prize so dear
ly, will be hung as high as Haman. We will
have no fooling in the matter ! “By the Eter
nal ! the Union must be preserved I”
Such is»the lecture read by the people of the
North to their Southern brethren on Tuesday.
And now what will the chivalry do about it ?
Will they eat dirt? Will they take back all
they have said about disunion, a Southern Con
federacy, the rights of the South, the blood of
their enemies, and all that sort of thing ? What
will the Yanceys, the Rhetts, the Keilts, the
Jefferson Davises, and all that noble army of
traitors do? To what dodge will Wise, the
doughty’ champion of the Hay Stack war, re
sort, in order to cover his inglorious retreat ?
Where is the army with which he was to march
on Washington and seize the federal city ?
The chivalry iclll eat dirt. They will back
out. They never had any spunk anyhow. The
bi st they could do was to bully, and brag, and
bluster. John Brown and his seventeen men
were enough to affright the whole mighty com
monwealth of Virginia out of its propriety, and
to hold it as a conquered province until recap
tured by the Federal troops, and to this day
John Brown’s ghost is more terrible than an
army’ with banners, in the eyes of every South
ern cavalier. These knights of the Sunny South
are just such heroes as Sancho Panza was. They
are wonderful hands at bragging and telling fan
tastical lies; but when it comes to action, count
them out.
As if to add the last capstone to this absurdi
ty of disunion bluster, the telegraph yesterday
brought us the news that the Legislature of
South Carolina on Tuesday elected her Presi
dential electors, and they had concluded to post
pone the arming of the State until they’ had as
certained that Lincoln was really elected ! Poor
devils! The smallest kind of a knot hole will
be sufficient for them to crawl through now.
AMATEUR BAND.
We were summoned yesterday to inspect a
fine lot of musical instruments for an Amateur
Street Band, recently imported by Messrs. John
C. Schreiner & Sons, and paid for, we believe,
by the voluntary contributions of a number of
public spirited gentlemen. These are fine in
struments, and we trust will be the incentive to
the formation of an effective Band.
NEW BOOKS.
Boardman has just received the following
from the prolific press of D. Appleton & Co. :
Education : intellectual, moral and physical;
by Herbert Spencer: a valuable book—full of
useful hints to parents and instructors.
Dr. Henry on Social Welfare and Human
Progress—a series of academic discourses—
neither original nor profound.
“ Little Night Caps”—“Fairy Night Caps”
“New Fairy Stories”—a series of children’s
story books, printed in beautiful style and
handsomely’ illustrated. Just the thing for
Christmas times.

GEORGIA BANK SUSPENSION.
We print, but do not endorse, a protest
against Bank Suspension in this State. On
the contrary, if the Banks do not suspend, they
had better close up then business and quit.—
They can furnish no facilities for business at
all, and will maintain their own credit at the
expense of that of nearly everybody else.—
The demand for suspension is well nigh uni’
versa! The anxiety for immediate relief, such
as that measure would produce, cannot be
over stated. The crop must be sold or eveiy
body’ must stop business, and it cannot be sold
until the banks can fearlessly put out their
money on cotton hills. This they’ can do,
without the slightest risk to themselves or the
public, if they are protected meanwhile from a
run for specie. Protect them to this extent!
Provide guards against abuses—keep them in
solvent condition—but protect them in the ex
ercise of functions indispensable to every class
of the community. If not allowed to suspend,
they can work through without it, but they
will do it to the great distress of the people.
The Hon’s. Clifford Anderson and
Philemon Tracy, will address the “Minute Men”
at Concert Hall, this Friday evening, at half past
7 o'clock. Nov. 23rd, 1860. The public is res
pectfully invited to attend.
We are requested to call attention to the re
moval of Dr. Forest, Armstrong & Co., from
Chambers to Duane St. New York. See adver
tisement.
LETTER FROM GOV. LETCHER, OF VA.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 21—The Richmond En
quirer, of this morning, publishes an important
letter from Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, in reply i
to John S. Brisbin, of Pennsylvania, who had
previously written to the Governor, ridiculing
the idea of secession, and seating that two hund- i
red \ irginians had tendered him their com
mand in the event of disunion, &c. The Gov. .
in his reply to Mr. Brisbin, administers a severe '
rebuke to northern nulidcation, and shows that
the dereliction on the part of the North is the |
prime cause of our present troubles.
He advises the northern people to correct j
public sentiment at home and to discharge their
Constitutional obligations. He also indicates,
in thLS letter, a determination to defend the
State, and stand as an armed mediator between
the Southern States and their assailants, come
from what quarter they may. The letter has
created a profound sensation here.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, /
Milledgeville, Ga. Nov. 20, 1860. j
7b the General Assembly:
The official returns of the election for Elect
ors to cast the vote of this State for President
and Vice President of the United States, held
on the sixth day of this month, have been re
ceived at this office from all the counties ot the
except the county of/Lr£tnall u whose
vote could not change the result* ‘
I have caused these returns to be consolida- j
ted and added together, and find that no one of
the tickets, nor any individual upon any one of
the tickets t un, received a majority of all the
votes cast at said election. Thy a'd of 23rd
December 1843, provides in such case, that the
General Assembly shall proceed by joint ballot,
; to the election of Electors for President and
Vice President of the United States.
It is now ascertained that the Black Republi
can party has triumphed over u>, and has elec-
I ted its candidates for President and Vice Presi
| dent. The vote ol Georgia cannot, therefore,
change or affect the final result. In this crisis
j unanimity of sentiment among the people of this
I State is greatly to be desired, and bitterness of
party strife is greatly to be deprecated. It is a
! question therefore, worthy the consideration of
1 the General Assembly, whether harmony would
i not be promoted and parly strife allayed, by a
refusal on the part of the General Assembly to ,
enter into an election which can have no practi
! cd effect nor in any way promote the interest .
of the State.
lain informed that the health of the Hon. '
Chas J McDonald, one of the persons voted
, for as Elector who received the highest vote of
any person in the State is so feeble that he
; could not attend and cast the vote if elected.—
I am requested, therefore, in case an election
is held, to say to the General Assembly, that
he does not desire his name used. When I ex
press my deep regret that the heavy hand of
affliction should have fallen upon Gov. McDon
ald, the noble citizen, the tried patriot, and tlie
able Statesman, who has served Georgia so
long and so faithfully, I doubt not the senti
ment meet a warm response in the bosom of 1
everv patriotic son of Georgia.

Happiness and Di ty.—We know of nothing
more contemptible, unmanly or unwomanly,
and craven, than the everlasting sighing for
“happiness.” Those who have the most of it
think the less about it. But in the thinking
about and doing their Duty, hapi mess comes
—because the heart and mind . re occupied
with earnest thought that touches at a thou
sand points the beautiful and sublime realities
of tbe Universe! the heart and mind are
brought (and reverently it is said) in contact
with the Creator and Ruler and Father of all—
