Whatever may bo the opinion of the South as
tu the effect of the recent abolition triumph, there
is certainly no d<>abt in the Northern mind that
a great and radical revolution in the Wrowamiaout
ha* beeu accomplished. The eleetion of a Black
Republican President i* regarded there as an en
dorsement by the people of the principle that
’ slavery Is wrong and that, hereafter, the powers
! and agencies of the Government are to lie exer
ted to limit and cripple it. That this principle
and this policy will bo recognixod ami enforced
by Lincoln's administration is demonstrated by
**rcry species of eeidcnco of which the question
; will admit. The universalKcntiieent of resistance
1 to that administration which the last few weeks
have exhibited in the South, has called forth
jeer* and scoffs by the Northern press which could
barely he Justified if it wen* bnt. the opinion of*
solitary individual. These presses published in
every pert of the North, and uniformly uttering
the same defiant and insolent tone, mu*i bo pre
sumed to oxpiwss the prevailing sentiment of the
Northern mind. All declare that the govern
ment has been revolutionized at the ballot-box,
and that Southern slavery has at length enter* and
upon u course of gradual and ultimate extinction.
The basis of this Rcv4ulion, or ‘'crisis” as it is
termed, and the issues involved in it. aro pretty
well and fully stated in the following article from >
.. leading Kepuclican paper:
IS TttXJIK A CRISIS Y
Last Sabbath a reporter from a leading daily
inquired of thu pastor of au up-town church who
tber bo iuteuded to allude to “the Crisis” in ei
ther *erm<>nofthe day. “Crisis” said the preach
er, “1 do not know of any crisis; the crisis was
passed last Tuesday; I tried to do my duty be
torehaud, and so thoroughly is this church In
doctrinated with antii-slavery sentiment, that l
do not believe you will find two members [ it
who did not vote for Mr. Lincoln. Indeed, Ido
not know of one. The Hurry at Ih* aH-utb will
soon exhaust >udij if it u let alone. M hen
‘crisis’ comes from that .|UurU*r, please be on band
to report ’’
Notwithstanding the increase of South Caroli
nian freusy with the past fsw days, we still think
this a lari view of the present aspect of aßairs.
The Sixth of November was a great crisis In tbo
nation'i* history. On that day the question wits
put to the people of tho United Mates, whether
their Federal G* v eminent should be administer
. od uncording to the dot;trine of equal natural auJ
politick! rights for all men, laid down by the Fa
there of the Revolution, or controlled ly a sec
tional oligarchy of slaveholders, lor tho further
ance of fucir despotism over tho black race; whe
. iher the territory belonging to the National Go
vernment should be consecrated to freedom or
cursed by slavery: whether slavery itself should
be adopted, sanctioned, cherished a an integral
part of >ur Oousututional or branded as
an outlaw, a relic of barbarism, to bo shut up
within the limits of existing sieve Plates, until
those States shall proclaim the day of emancipa
tion, and let the oppressed go fro*.-. The*) were
the {UeslHiu* submitted to the people of tbo Uni
ted .Slates on the sixth of November : and with
out tumult or vbdcnce, but calmly and steadily
a* the tint snow-flake* tall, and cover road, itud
field, and valley, and hillside, tbo falling ballots
ooveyed tbo land from Maine to Minnesota, with
the testimony of the people for a pure and right
eous administration of the Government upon tin;
principles of Ireodooi and o*|uality.
When it was announced that the people of tho
United States, in the legitimate Way, had desig
nated Abraham Lmooln a* their next President,
ilie crisis was orer— the most critical point be
tween Freedom and Slavery, since tbo adoption
of tbe Federal Constitution, was parsed, /e/y,
rfrcMiso-fy, finally pauttd. K very body knows
this. Everybody acts upon it.
If an/ of our readers should (income excited Ey
a jieruealnf the above, we commend tbe following
from the Holton Liberators** toothing remedy :
NO UNION WITH BLAVHOLDRRS—(SOUTH
ERN DKSPEttATIOff.
The election us tbo Republican candidate,
Abraham Lincoln.to the Presidency of tbe United
States, has operated upnu tbe whole alaveholdtng
South in a manner indicatirc of tbo torments of
tbe demand. The brutal dastard* ami bloody
winded tyrant*, who have no long ml* <1 the
country with impunity, ere now furiously foam
ing at the mouth, gnawing their tongues fur pain,
indulging in tba must Lorfid btanphuime*, utter
ing the wildest threat*, aud avowing the most
treasonable design*. Their positions, “net on lire
of Mi,” are leading them into every kind of ex
was, and they are iuupired by a demoniacal
plirenry, To tbc South la strikingly applicable
at this hour, the language of tho revelator:—
Babylon U fallen, and ban become tho habitation
< f devils, and the held of every fvul spirit, and a
cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Her
#in*have rea‘bl even unto heavvu, and Hod
bath remembered her loiquitiM. In tbo cup
which she bath Riled, fIH to her double. In her
ie found the blood of prophets aud of saint#. How
much she hath glorified herself, and lived deli
ciously, to touch torment and sorrow giro her.—
Therefore shall her plague* Coma in one day -
death, and murmuring uuJ famine; and slie
shall bo utterly burned with fire ; for strong is
the Lord Hod who judgetb her.” So much for
dealing in “niavwe aad auula of bsju,” trampling
opon all human rights, defying Hod and his eter
nal law, and giving unlimited in-lulgmnic# to
avary sensual and detitah inclination ! “Rejotae
over her, thou heaven ; and ye holy apostles and
prophets : for Hod hath judged tba great wuefe
which did corrupt the certli with her fornication
and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her
bawds.”
J/Stt The Chicago Times says that about forty
negroes of that elty have organised a military
company under the name of •'Freedom Guards.”
One of the objects of Ihe organ ir/alion la to rt?cut
fug Hires from the hands of Uovernrocnt officers
whenever any such shall becaptured.

THE UNION OF THE STATES, AKII THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.
I4.{mdrnt Lonisiua.
Tho soui'Ssion organisation of Louieiaua is
f.iirlv established. The meeting at Odd Fellows
Hall laet nighi, is the starting point vs u move
ment which v* destined t*> continue until tho
.State is rescued from tho perils of submission to
Abolition rule, until sbe is saved from tho terrors
of subjection to u ruthless sectional majority*
until she is (read lroiu the fetters which bind her
to union with her enemies. Iho tirsl blow

us, looscu beneath Us loroc. Blow will follow
hi.iw, until the chain* fall # from hrr limbs, aud
Louisiana stitod* erect ir. all the dignity of re
asserted independence, and all tho glory of re
covered sovereignty.
Those deluded people]who imagined that Now
Orleans w ould not respond to tho gallant exam
ple of South Carolina, who supposed that bur
people, because they had beau devoted to the
I ni ;t would be false to tho South, that thdy
could liprecipitated into a delirium > f unrftaeon
submission, have grievously uiiadhlculated
lili i iTmUfii IH'J ihn npirit, aud the temper ot

struggled into ineffectual existence on the an
nouncement of the Black Republican triumph
iu the election has long since died away. If
there wh* loft it was soon trampled out
beneath tbo overwhelming cumin,. •. ). sudden
ly sprang forth to assert the rights of the Eolith
and to defuaul the liberty of the btate.
Timorous subiui.-.donisui. vvhst little of it there
was left, subsided into seeming if not sincere or
quiescence. At this moment it Is hard to find a
man who *lk*s not express approval of what seems
io lie the alui >.-t u invar sal sentiment of the eora
muuity immediate, uiiqualiliod secession, as tho
only remedy for proscru evils, tho only security
against future dangers.
Tbo meeting of night must have carried
liiis. wiiv ictiou to tin minus of won these mured
ulous persons who affected tu doubt tho loyally
and patriotism of New Orleans.
Never before ha* such an assemblage been wit
oetsutl In this city. Just as tho occasion excell
ed iu importance any that preceded it, the aieet
injf surpassed nil previous uiestlngs, not unly in
earnest resolution and enthusiastic spirit, but in
the representative character of thase who com
posed it. Men of all shades of political opinion,
who had before been widely separated by the di
viding lines of purty— men of all professions, of
all occupation* merchant.*, mechanic.*, lawyers,
phyti iaa* —Breckinridge men, Bell men. l.oug
lad mwii came together on the common platform
of Southern Rights and State Independence.
The speeches delivered by the various gentle
men who addressed the meeting were eminently
suggestive of tho momentous nature of the occu
si*a v. Licit elicited them. They partook of und
reflected the general sentiment that the time for
difcu**loM Is past; that the argument is exhaust
ed ; that tho moment for calm, determined, irre
meable action las at last arrived, that there is
no middle ground between unconditional .submis
sion and unqualified resistance: that it is the part
of doty, of honor, of safety, for Louisiana to shako
off the shackles of a perverted Union, and to re
claim her threatened and imperiled sovereignty.
The news of this decisive demonstration will
here® ived with joy in our sister States of the
3oulh: it will carry to South Carolina, and Geor
gia, und Alabama, and Muwissippl, and Texas,
the glad conviction that Loirlsiuna will not lin
ger behind in tbo glori. us movement for South
ern ‘iberty, but that she will be animated by a
spirit of generous emulation in the grand cause
of independence, and that if she caunot be first
in the race, she will at l**i#s be among the first.

Dbaii Bt I Li.rii I feel that it is duo to my
constituent* as well as to mvselftn make publio
iny rousons lor going to Washington, since tbo
<h sttuetii u of tbo Federal Government by tho
election of Lincoln, and yon will oblige mo by
stating them in the “Rpirit” of next Tuesday.
The solo object of my visit is to promote the
can.*** of MeesMiui. I bv.liove much good can be
>1..’,, Mii.i evil prevented by the presence of Bou
jji ui©m(4*rs. Tbo schemes of tcmporlsers and
in saver.? may bo frustrated—the plans of
lb eneeiy un<lrstr>ml—end valuable service
rendered tlio causo td Southern deliverauee by
eousultation, and especially by consolidating and
putting in active operation tho influence, wisdom
experimeo and learning of the faithful. Al ter
doing alj if* ny power to secure the speedy de
liverance of (lie Southern people lroiu the thral
dom of an abolition govcrunwint, I shall hid
farewell to thA City of Washington, neve, again
to rcinrti while it is the seat of a government
that has jurisdiction over tho State of Alabama.
Whether the election t*i Lincoln is a result to
be deplored by any true Southern man, depends
upon tbo future action of slave-holding States.—
If vro negotiate for new guarantee*—palaver
about co-operation or entangle name Ives in tho
meshes of diplomacy, wo are a doomed people.
But if Alabama covers herself with the glory of
being ak*nn if she must, in the socoi.d declaration
of indcpeittdcnee, then the historian will record
it, and oar posterity celebrate It, as the cause
that secured to them the blessings of a Southern
C'jnffiduracy. The manhood aud self respect of
Alabamians wiil he subjected, however, to no
*nch test, for no event in tho future is *or
certain, than tjuit wo shall hare abundant co
operation, and while wo may bo called on to
wuep a little over the and ad body of the old Un

Gov. Winston's Position. Much speculation
has existed relative to the position of (Jov. Win-
of Alabama. The Cabawba, Ala., Gazette
has boon permitted to extract from two letter*

ho expresses the opinion that Alabama should go

The Voice of the States for Secession.
It is cheering to read the proceedings of tho
primary meetings of the people in the Routhorn
States in regard to the present crisis in our affairs.
The great popular heart is stirred, the spirit of
resistance abroad, and the cry of flsciasioti comes
from every Ftato. In Georgia, there is a strong,
deep feeling for immediate secession. A majori
ty of the people are, no doubt, for final separa
tion from tho North. South Carolina dissolver
the Union of the Statos on tbo 18th inst. She
goes out ‘ high and dry and forever” in the
language of Senator llauimoud on that day.--
Floridahas her Convention on tho'Kd of January.
Election on tho 22d of Dec., for delegates. The
accounts front that State in that Gov. Perry,
Gov. .Milton, II B. Hilton, member of Congress
elect, and other prominent men are unanimous
- -y( ni],l meet
lings throughout the State show thm ..
certain for accession. In our judgment, nothing
can koephor in the Union should Carolina ac
cede. Alabama is a reliable State. The major!
tv of tho meetings held thus far are for immedi
ate recension.
Mi'i*lppt stands firm. Tho telegraph re
ports the Lcgijiluture a unit for sruossiou. Tho
UskVaruor, iu his luossagc, separate State
action and co-operation afterwards with great
power. Tu Louisiana, the enthusiastic mooting
in Now Orleans breathes tho right spirit. Tho
State is moving.
Our correspondent from Texas represents Gov.
Houston to ho a submisaionist and oppesed to
ascension, but tho frory beat feeling exists iu the
State for secession. The Lone Star flag floats
from the houses and stortj# of tho principal cities.
Arkansas, *ays too, she will go with tho South.
North Barulina is in tho soma position. The
Southern Status on the border canu.it move like
the Cotton State*, nor can they remain in tha
Northern Republic with safety and peace to their
institution*. They will go with tlio South. Iu
fact the Union is virtually dissolved to-day, and
no power on earth cun prevent it. The abolition
ists cannot, change thoir convictions, no inure
than the ‘’Leopard his spots”—the fugitive slave
law can never be executed were there no person
al liberty bill* preventing it, slavery will never
bo protected under a Republican Administration,
and it is idle to talk about it, no uioro slav 3 States
will be admitted into the Union though unjust
and wrong to the majority section, a sense of
insecurity And danger wiil pervade the Southern
mind, whether reel or imaginary, which time can
never allay. J\hn Brown raid* and Kunaus
troubles and murder <fslaveholders will still con
tinue were the Union preserved, ami in u word,
the whole catalogue of crimes and wrongs which
haa so poisoned tbo South against the North
must ho re enacted and tho South remain in the
Union to keep the penae and be a handmaid aud
a servant. The antagonism being irreconcilable
the 4th of March next inaugurate!! a now nation
ality a great Southern Repdblic, where our iu
i t©rests will Lo homogeneous, and where our peo
ple wiil bo happy, free and prosperous. Imme
diate recession and a Fouthoni Republic is the
watchword !

M sssrs. Editor* :—Since my I#, very littlo </
importance has oeourred. Tbo secession catiso
is daily gaining strength. The wild excitement
consequent upon the election of Lincoln bus set
tied down in a calm but firm detoriuination to re
sist his administration. There aro a few sub mis
slouiet* in our midst. Tho “Civilian” of this
place, imitating the Ulaok Republican organs, is
publishing a scries of extracts from Lincoln's
speeches, t© show that ho la a consorvativo man,
und that the South has nothiny to /tar from hm !

little or no influence in the State, at the editor T
has always boen “jeu-nay” on ail political quo* j
lion*, or ns weexpreat it here, “ever on the fence.'•
There is some doubt ns to the course Gov. Hour I

a letter a short time ago asking his views about j
the questions now agitating our section. Ho re
plied, und his eouuari wag to submit, to yiv /.in
noln a/nc yeats trial. Aa Houston is spoken of j
as one of the Southern men who will occupy u !
prominent position iu Lincoln's Cabinet this
may explain his motives for counselling submie
•ion. It is not yet known whether he will call
the Legislature. His friends think ho will. If
he refuses, the people wiil rise iu their majesty
and might and elect delegates to a State Conven
tion, ami you may rest assured that none will be
sent as delegates who will not pledge tht-niselve*
to secession. The jteo/As oj Tt*.as are a unit for
secession. They fought fur Constitutional rights
in 1830, and they Kilt do the same in 1860. Our
Minute J fen are thoroughly organised, and all

co-operate in vindication <*f tho honor, intereiti,
sovereignty, and independence of our ritate. I
care not what any one's political antecedents arc,
if he prefer, in the great crisis so close at hand,
secession to subjugation, the independence of Al
abama, out of the Union, to her provincial subor
dination within it, the preservation of her nlav<
property and social status in a foreign State to
the loss of both in the Union. These are the is
sues presented to bur people and they are obliged I
to decide them very soon for themselves or they ,
will ho decided for then, by their Northern ene
mies. We mast yield our equality and Indapen
donee, our slave property and social orguui/.a
tion, and preserve the Union, or we must preserve .
thorn aud dissolve the Union. It R necessarily (
*nd unavoidably, a question of negro equality ‘
and freedom in the Union or negro slavery and !
independence out of the Inion. Those who shout
for tbo Union now, must shriek for abolition ere j
long. It will coiqc us sure aa the Union last I

ed and patriotic Carolinian. It u addressed to
the Committee of Lnvitati. n, appointed to get up
the recent Mass Meeting, and would have been

Hon. Robert Toombs.
This distinguished gentleman passed through
our city on yesterday, to visit his colored people
once more before their departure from the United

Louisiana, say* the Delta, left New Orleans

Cobh, who are believed to mediate a willing ac

For Skckshion.—We have learned from the

Ituve been frequently asked of late, what position

the question fully und satisfactorily :

Letter from Bon. .\. and. Maratk.
CUABLBSTO.V, S. C. Nov. 2M, 1860.
Gkxtlkmkn:—l have jo.tt received your letter
inviting mo to address a Mass Meeting at Colum
bus on tho 24th of this month. I left the city on
the 21st to fulfil a number of appointments in
this State, which I had made to address the poo
ple of the upper districts. Your letter was not
forwarded tome, aud hence I knew not ofyour
wishes until it was too Into tu comply with them.
Nothing tome personally, would havo been
more gratifying, thau to havo contributed my
poor services in the great cause of uniting the
slaveholding (States in common resintance to the
aggressive inroad which havo been made upon
them, and enforcing the sacred obligations of a
separation from a Confederation in which they
have been “abused, Insulted and betrayed.”
It is not with them a question of mere interest,
but of life and liberty, of peace and safety, of se
curity and happiness. That tho guarontef*
which the Constitution has provided have been
treacherously violated, all admit. And that ad
mission is complete, when it is intimated that her
safeguard will be provided. Can any safeguard
be made now, under auspices more pure and ho
ly, than those now violated; wliteh the patriot*
of tbo Revolution, who framed the Coustitution,
transmitted to those who should succeed them ?
And if the reverence due to the legacy which was
thus given, with the oaths of those who took it,
that they would bo faithful in tbe execution ot
vh. <ruat it involved, could not bind tbeir con
science or control nonduct; how idle is it to
suppose that any bond or co oan t which we
could draw, wou Id be strong enough make lb©
non-slavebolding States just and true, in tbe dis
charge of their duty.
With grcat.respect,
Your ob’t servant,
A. G. MAG RATH
Messrs. W. 11. Mitchell, Paul J. Stemmes, R.
J. Moses, and others.

Hon. F. W. Pickkns, late Minister to Russia,
addressed a multitude of several thousands, at
Columbia, Friday last. Hu is for immediate se
cession and independent action. The occasion
was signalised by planting a Palmetto tree car
ried from Charleston.
Mr. Toombs spoke in Macon yesterday. He
makes telling speeches in the secession cause.
Everywhere he meets with a warm reception from
the people, in whose behalf he is devoting the
best energies of bis life. Tbo South will triumph.
The God of justice and right is with us.
Tho Florida Legislature convened in Talla
husseo on the 2fitb. They wiU proceed to imme
diate action upon that portion of the Governor's
message calling attention to the present critical
condition of the country. The. Executive has
recommended a Convention iustanler.
South Carolina, it is said, is tbe only ono ol the
Southern States that haa an Armory for the man
ufacturc of fire arms. Yirgiuia, too, will soon
have one completed and wo trust that Georgia
will not be in the rear in this work of defence.
MILTING OF CONGRESS.
Washington, Dec. 3.—Both branches of Con
gress met to-day. The gnllcries were orowded
to overflowing.
In the Senate there was nothing done except
to appoint a committee to wail on the President,
and inform biin that the Seuate was ready to
receive any communication from him. This body
adjourned before one o'clock. Nearly ail the
Senators were in their seats, ami good fueling
prevailed.
In the House, after calling the roll, a com
mittee was appointed to wait on the Senate, aud
inform them that they were organised and ready
for business. A committee was appointed to join
tbe committee from the Senate, to wait on the
Presidcut, and inform him that Congress was
ready to receive any communication from him.
Selecting seats in the House occupied an hour,
which was marked by good feeling aud hilarity.
Tbe House adjourned at a quarter past one
o'clock.
Two bundled members of the House were pres
ent. All tbe members from South Carolina wore
in their seats, with tbe exception of tbe lion. W.
Porcber Miles.
The President’s Message will be rent in at noon
to-morrow.
Washington. Dee. 4.
In the Senate nothing was done except to
bear the President's messuge.
In the House there was a long debate on the
reference of the President's message.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Boteler, of
Virginia, and was passed, referring that portion
of tbe message relating to secession to a special
committee of one from each State, and the whole
message also to ba referred to the committee of
tbe whole on tbe state of the Union.
Before the result of the vote was announced*
Messrs. Singleton, of Mississippi, Jones, of Geor
gia, Hawkins, us Florida, Cloptnn and Pugh, of
Alabama, und U art rail, of Georgia, refused to
vote. They stated tbeir reasons, that their State
Convention* will settle the questions involved.—
Mr. Miles, of South Coroitnu, said bis State was
now out of the Union, except tho mere form,
wbidh may be necessary to complete it, and that
the South Carolina delegation would not, there
fore vote.
Thirty-eight votes were cast against Mr. Bo
teller's resolution—all Republicans.
Since the adjournment, a general gloom per
vades Congressional and politieal circle*. Tbe
conservatives generally are very desponding and
uuhasitatingly prophesy that a general dissolu
tion of tbe Union is nut far distant.
Exciting Elk tion Scrnb in California. —
Senator Uwiu speaking.—“My fallow-citixens, in
my judgment, tho severest stroke the Pacific
Railroad ever received was given it by a Repre
sentative from this State in INJ4, iufluenceu,
perhaps, by Judge Douglas. This representa
tive, when the Railroad bill wa* under considers
tion, and bad precedence in tbo order of busi
ness in the House, consent®! that it should lay
over in order to take up the Kansas- Nebraska
bill. Thus the bill was lost.”
Gen. McDouga! (in tbe orowd) —“I dispute
that Dr. Gwln. 1 deny that, Dr. Gwiu.”
[Cries of “put him ou , put him out ”]
Dr. Gwio,—“lt is true, sir.”
Seeing McDougal in the crowd, Dr. Gwiu ad
vanced to the foot lights and said, with great
emphasis, “I say it is true, fellow-citizen*, and
there is the man (pointing to McDougal ) that
did it.”
[Sensation, terminating in immense applause
—cries of “put him out, order,” to.J
Order being restored, Gen. McDougal said ;
“I diapute it—l dispute P.”
I Cries of “take him out, take him out.”]
Dr. Gw'.n—“l sav it I* true—l say it is true,

proposition now or at any time—no man on
earth can meet me on that issue.”

“It is sweet and glorious to die for one’s coun
try” is tho prominent sentiment of the most impor
tant political Ode” of tbo great lyric bard of tbe
Romans. Its spirit bas been caught up by Gen
eral Kemmes in tho letter wo publish below, and
its echo will be a sweet note of sacred music from
000 end of tbe Southern States to the other. Let
us hope that Iho right arm of Omnipotence will
protect the gallant aud patriotic General, and be
a tower of defence to our noble South. Instead
of the plea ure of dying may tbe patriotic Gene
ral long enjoy the glory of living under the ban
ner of our independent Southern Confederacy.-
