The point of resist- ’ a.:, n-t whatever a hostile Federal Admin u i an accomplish for the ruin of our s<>- a i-titntions, lies in its Inception, and in no ' <t» ! Surrender the pvulHoii • ■ vernnii nt can he set over us on a plat i avowed hostility to the security of s ■ •rn in.-titulions, and effectual opposition it will lawfully or unlawfully do to en- ' » r t ir siHrurity Ik lost forever. No "overt i " lid probably be perpetrated, about • ie would be any consentaneous opin- ‘ "■a in the South ; or which would be, in 1 . ilf so startling as the inauguration of administration of public aflairs. No ■'■atism ol Lincoln would countervail * >'•«. 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 no extremity of aggressive abolition wh» h would not already find justification i - ipport in the positions assumed by the > k R-publican leaders during tlie late cam i * sh se positions covered all possible 'a i: .4 mad anti-slavery fanaticism, and if L.n v.a ’* be -errafLv, it will be due to no o .g s made to the people either by liiinselfor - ’h '<- u ? . or in their pi'es-es. He v*x . anything and claim the sanction of the ' ■ : vote which eketed him. Shall we i 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. Boardman is on hand with Harper’s Maga zine for December —a spirited number. The Washoe Mines—the Croton Aquaduct, and an article upon donuntic entomology’ are the illus | t rated articles. 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. From the Columbus (Ga.) Sun Nov 17 PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD. Thusday evening at three o’clock, the Synod again assembled. There was a full attendance, some forty ministers and twenty-five elders • a 1 few ladies were present. 1 The Methodists and Baptists having offered the use of their churches to the Synod, the 1 courteous offer was accepted.

The Presbytery of Flint R;a.»r reports to the Svhwl iwent'.-lwo nfin&ieix «nd ha.x under its care forty-four churches. It has received from ’ Hopeful the licentiate Henry F.

Dunwoody, and installed him over the Washington church, and Rev. David , Wells, from South Carolina, over the Macon ! j church. Ihe Presbytery of Cherokee reports to the Stood sixteen ministers, thirty-three churches, and three candidates for the ministry. It has installed Rev. J. A. Wallace at Dalton ; Rev. R. F. Taylor at Summerville, Alpine and Walnut ’ Grove churches, united. It dismissed Rev. W. P. Harrison to Flint River Presbyter',. I’he Presbytery of < ieorgia consists of eight churches and one candidate for the ministry. Dr. J. C. Patterson and Mr. Livingston were chosen a committee to bring in a minute on the death of Rev. J. B. Stevens. i Dr. J. S. \\ ilson reported a list of names for trustees of the Oglethorpe University. Reports were read from the trustees of the fe ! male colleges at Griflin and at Greensboro’. ' Friday Alorniny.— After the devotional exer cises the matter of the election of Perkins Pro I lessor in the Theological Seminary was taken up. Prof. James W oodrow was nominated, also other distinguished men. Dr. Thornhill gave unin teresting address upon the subject, and was fol lowed by others. Rev. Dr. Mann and Rev. Mr. ICcy, ol the Methodist Church, were invited to act as corresponding members. Upon a ballot lor the Perkins Professorship, Pr< f. Jas. Woodrow was elected. 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. JOSEPH E. BROWN. 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— the Pexfect Bliss. ■•yer. - COTTON -»MAR.K’’T.
