The South has yiel ded to it in silence, andafter dissolution wilt have neither strength nor compact to enforce or insist upon, it; Fanati cism, always most zealous when nlost opposed, will be upon her long border of fifteen hundred miles with the prom ise of a free home to every slave who can put foot on her soil. Within and along all that border where, now the South has thousands of friends,. whose respect for the Constitution and good faith-drive back the fugitive slave and give such raidsmen as John Brown nei ther a resting place nor a hiding place from the vengeance of the law, the counsels of the fanatic alone will. be heard-atld alone beheaded. The South ern Republic will pot go to war be cause the Northern Republic shall, -like Canada, open her arms to receive the fugitive slave. 8. The agitation of the question of slavery. Will that be hashed in our Southern Republic? It is very certain that un less we change our own conduct, it will be none the less agitated. . When have the minority of our political, orators ceased to make that their eternal and never ending theino of discussion ? In and out of Congress we have had our full share of this sin. It has been for many years the escape valve of the Nor thern nnd Southern gas manufactories, more to make capital at home than to do good any where.' The^ only result bos been the inculcation of a disastrous hatred between the readers of these pi>- posing speeches—the. bumble and uni formed voters at home. Now when a line sKall bo drawn around tile slaveliolding Republic,, which will exclude all other people; from lawful counsel on the subject of sjavety, there any prospect that agitation wil cense? ’ Will the ad treme the advocates lor proposition on the sutye< very be quiet?

South Carolina, by., act of her new Legislature, which is to., meet In Columbia on the day of the Presidential election to oloct her Presi dential eleotors, and do such other, things as tho orisis and “the safety of the State may- require." Secondly, that,," under existing legislative instructions; the-Gtovernor of Alabama, on satisfacto-.- xy information of Lincoln’s election, will issue his proclamation calling for the election of a State Convention to de termine the .question for that Stato 6f submission or Secession; and that tho Governor of Missississippi will, inasim, . ilnr manner, bring her people directly, tb the same issue. , - .. ■ w - In the next place, it is - believed that" Georgia; Florida,Louisand.Aakansas and Texas will readily co-operate with South Carolina and her seceding, associates:}' and that thus acting in concert they will establish the nucleus of a Southern confederacy on or before the day of Lincoln’s inauguration. The President cannot interfere until some ovSirt act of • nullification of tho federal laws or com-!- paot shall have been committed, and, when committed, the interventiop iof the federal government must take the form of.pailitary movement to suppress an Open rebellion. Any movement of this sort.wo know would, from the first collision of arms, bring all the remain ing Southern States, except, perhaps, Delaware, Maryland and Missouri, to' the rescue of the seceding coalition.-* With this disunion rhovement thus. strengthened, the only sensible thing wliioh the federal government could do would be to give it up and. recog-. tionality ^fj-this nize the separate nationality < Southern confederation. We learn, too, that it it extensl ly understood. in the South that in half of a Southern confederacy the; ties concerned would be sure to mand the co-operation of Englanc France. The argument is, that _ war for the subjugation of. the South would inevitably so far unsettle.: the whole Southern social fabric as to re sult in suspension of tho cotton culturo during the continuanoe of such war, England and Franco, looking to their .J LL T . Jfrgjto pence. Nor have we any doubt should the occasion demand it, that such would be tho line of action on., the part ~. of England nnd France; for in every point of view it is their policy; ns com- ' mercial, maritime and manufacturing States, to encourage the dissolution of - this overshadowing Union. England could afford to pay some millions of money to establish an independent con federacy of our Sotuliern States, for she could make many millions of money by tho operation. • ‘• Wo dare say that under a Southern confederated government, with! tariff ilntions, putting our Northern coh- racy on the same footing with other foreign Powers, the South would draw from England and France, in manu' tured articles, fifty millions or i annum than are now f.xpond lceo potions’ under our laws. Thus we see that't of tho institution of slavery a w overwhelmnipg and still increasii lition power of tho North is not ly Southern incentive to d Cheap goods, including all hold articles and agricultural of tho SouLhern ; lisliment of a d with Europe and Sout! and the establishment fuctures, onter into th idea of an independent, homogeneous Southern Republic. v.-.s ' It is not.diffieult to believe then,that tho Union is in dungar. But what'aro wetodo? All t’ ' 1 #®“What a glorious world this would bo if all its inhabitants could say with Shakespearo’s Shepherd: ‘‘Sir I am a true laborer. I earn that I wear; owe no man hate; envoy no man’s happiness; - I mU| MMM of our Northern conservatives, opposed )o -the division of the Union, is to do all in their power to defeat Lincoln.
