From the Athens (Ala.) Herald
The Scheme of Disunion.
The issue of the coming contest in the
Presidential canvass is union or disunion
—and upon this ground we place it The
plan has been concocted and the scheme
devised years ago by some of the ablest
men in the South, at the head of whom
stands R. B. Rhett, ofSouth Carolina, and
Win. L. Yancey, of Alabama, wboarethe
prime movers and instigators of the dam
nable conspiracy. They have no hope of
electing their candidates, Breckinridge and
Lane, and these men have been selected
as their candidates, under the imposing
name of Democracy, the more successfully
to deceive the people of the South, draw
thsm off in their support from the true
Democratic ticket—thereby divide and
distract the Democratic ranks and the more
easily to contribute to the election of Lin
coln upon the happening of which, they
will urge that the contingency has arisen,
contemplated in the resolutions pissed by
the Legislature, at least of this State, the
election of Black Republican President is
good and sufficient cause to dissolve this
Government This is their plan. Already
thsv shadowing forth in the columns ofthe
Charleston Mercury, disguised under the
title of “Glimpses of the Future,” the
scheme of the organization of a “Southern
Confederacy,” to be composed of six Sta
tes—cotton States—to be “precipitated in
to revolution”—upon the election of a
Black republican President. A synopsis
of the organization ofthe new Confederacy'
under the style of “The Provisional Gener
al Government” as shadowed forth in the
Mercury, of the 28th of June last, may
not be uninteresting to the reader:
Atlanta, Georgia, is to be the seat of
Government. Mr. M., (Memminger,) of
South Carolina, is to be President, and
Mr. Y., (Yancey,) of Alabama, the Vice
President and speaker of the assembly,—
Fivethousand volunteers from South Caro
lina are to be called into active service,
besides the garrisons at Fort Moultrie and
Sumpter, and fifty thousand volunteers
and minute men, (to be) ordered by the
provisonal government to hold themselves
in readiness to march when called for, in
the six States. These six States are South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florrida, Mis
sissippi and Louisana.
All debts due from merchants and other
citizens to the people of the North are to
be sequestered in the hands of the debtors
until ordered otherwise by the provincial
Government (But) all debtors, who may
desire to discharge such debts, to relieve
their consciences, may pay them over to
the Government. These debts, it is esti
mated, will amount to forty millions of dol
lars, and their retention by the debtors, or
if paid over to the government, will oper
ate as a forced loan of so much, for the
benefit ofthe southern community. The
operation of the post offices, and collections
of customs’ and of railroads, telegraph,
and express transportation lines, vessels,
ftc., arc not to be obstructed. But the
receipts of both post offices and customs
are to be paid over to the new Southern
Confederacy, Federal officers, if southern
ers and trustworthy and responsible for
the required payments are to be retained
in offices. But such as are otherwise and
all northerners and Abolitionists, employ
ed in any capacity, by the former Federal
authorities [are to be] dismised and new
appointments made.
Police measures [will be] ordered to in
sure the watching of all transient or sus
picious northerners of but recent residence
on entrance into the South—who may be
expelled when thought proper, or required
ctiry, June 28th, 1860-to be put in oper
ation when the election of Lincoln, the
Black Republican President, shall present
the crisis, that they are endeavoring to in
augurate—a plan of “provisional govern
ment” just about as ridiculous, absurd,
and impracticable as that of old John
Brown!!! But to Wm. L. Yancey, of
Alabama is to be attributed all the mis
chief which has been produced in the
Democratic party, and wh^h is intended
to shear it of its power, render it incapa
ble to defeat Lincoln as they hope, and
thus secure the ends and aims of the last
twelve years of his life which has been
one long, unmitigated conspiracy, against
the Union of the States.
Look first at his course in the National
Democratic convention at Baltimore in 18-
48. On that occasion he proclaimed the
doctrine of “intervention,” or “protec
tion," for the first time but failed to get
single State to stand by him. He entered
his protest, seceded from the convention,
went home and opposed the election of
the Democratic nominees, Cass and But
ler.
In 1852 he went back to Baltimore with
the same proposition to “rule or tuin”
the Democracy, and was again voted down
even more emphatically than before.
In 1856, he again makes his appearance
in the National Democratic convention,
which assembled that year at Cincinnati,
but this time advocating the very reverse
of his old doctrine of intervention for pro
tection. He had absolutely got up instruc
tion to the Alabama delegation of which
he was chairman, to demand non-interven
tion, and if the convention did not grant
it to secede, and “ lead off the ball* of dis
union, that terrible catastrophe to which
all his desires seem to tend. But the con
vention 'recognising in the principle of
“non-intervention,” an old doctrine of a
majority of the party unanimously granted
the demand of Alabama, through her spo
kesman, Mr. Yancey, and so the demands
of this arch traitor and conspirator against
the Union, were a third time baulked.
But his undying hatred of the Union,
though for a time artfully cloaked, eTen
as he and his followers now endeavor to
throw sand in the eyes of the people on
this momentous subject, was not allowed
to slumber or grow cold. He nursed his
wrath to keep it warm. In less than two
years after the adjournment ofthe Cincina-
ti convention, we find him heading the
notorious “Southern League,” organised
advowedly to break up the Union, as the
following first article of its Constitution,
drawn up by bis own hand, fully proves:
“ Art. 1. The members of this organi
zation shall be known as "The League of
the South,’ and our motto shall be, ‘A
Southern Republic is our only safety.”
About the same time appeared Jhe fol
lowing private letter, piling Pelion upon
Ossa of proof ofthe treasonable disigns of
this American Cataline.
Montgomery^ June 15,' 1858.
“ Dear Sir: Your kind letter, of the 15th
is received. I hardly can agree with you
that a general movement can be made that
will clear out the Augean stable. If the
Democracy were overthrown, it would
result in giving place to a greater and hun
grier swarm of flies.
“ The remedy of the South is not in
such a process. It is in a diligent organ
ization of her true men for the prompt re
sistance to the next aggression. It must
come in the nature of things. No Nation
al party can save us; no sectional party
can ever do it. But if we could do as our
fathers did—organize ‘committees of safe
ty’ all over the cotton States, (and it is on
ly in them that we can hope for any effec
tive movement,) we shall fire the southern
heart, instruct the southern mind, give
to give security for their loyal conduct to , ,
the South. The trade of the western States j oarage toeach other, and, at ^theprop-
and those States on the Mississipi river and! ern,0,D enti by one organized, concerted
its tributaries, which lies thro’ the lower
Mississippi [will not be] obstructed so long
as those States shall not assail or invade
the Southern Confederacy; but if they do
then the trade and navigation ofthe North
western States will be entirely cut off
and will not be again opened to them un
til the State of Lousiana and her allies are
entirely subdued. United States troops
in forts and garrisons within the seceding
States, any war vessels lying in their har
bors, shall not be molested or treated in a
hostile manner, provided they abstain
from all action, hostile or threatening dan
ger to these States, or their people. But
if not, then every available war measure
will be put in operation against them.
Should any invasion or hostile attack be
into a revolution.
The idea has been shadowed forth in
theSouthby Mr. Ruffin: has been taken up
and recommended by the Adtertiser, (of
Montgomery, Ala, Mr. Yancey’s organ,)
under the name of “League ofthe United
Southerners,” who keeping up the old par
ty relations on all other questions, will
hold the southern issue paramount, and
will influence parties, Legislatures and
statesmen. I have no time to enlarge but
to suggest merely.
“In haste, yours, ftc.,
W. L. Yascet.
‘‘To James Slaughter, Esq ”
This was a private letter hastily written
it is trap; but a subsequent one written
Bell of course and a Ten. Methodist confer
ence refused to expunge certain anti-slaver-
opinions which John YYesly had inserted
in the Discipline. He cannot trust Ken
tucky, because Kentucky for so many
years upheld such freesoilers os Henry
Clay and John J. Crittenden. Virginia
he did not mention, nor did he discrimin
ate between Virginia and other border
States, because his purpose did not call for
it He then proceeds to say:
“It is equally true that I do not expect
Virginia to take any initiative step to
wards a dissolution of the Union, when
that exigency shall be forced upon the
South. Her position as a border State,
and a well considered southern policy, a
policy which has been digested and under
stood, and approved by the ablest men in
Virginia, as you yourself must be aware
would seem to demand that when such
movement takes place by considerable
number of southern States, Virginia and
the other border States should remain in
the Union where, by their position and
their position and their counsels, they
could prove more effective friends than by
moving out of the Union, and thus giving
to the Southern Confederacy a long Abo
lition hostile border to watch. In the e-
vent of the movement being successful, in
time Virginia and the other border States
that desired it could join the Southern
Confederacy, and be protected by the pow
er of its arms of diplomacy. Your charge
that I designed to and did impeach the fi
delity of Virginia is untrue, however much
of truth there may be in it with reference
to those border States that I have named.”
Alabamians! It is as clear as the noon
day sun, from the foregoing facts, that in
severing and disrupting the Democratic
party at Charleston and Baltimore, it has
been done to carry out the plan of disun
ion and treason, by “precipitating the cot
ton States into revolution,” concocted by
Yancey in 1868, and now for the fourth
time attempted, and that their ends and
aims are to be consumated by overwhelm
ing the Democratic party and the Union
in one common ruin, from which they hope
to rise in the image of a “Southern Confed
eracy." They are doing this under the
name of Democracy, and have inveighed
Breckinridge and Lane into the meshes
of their conspiracy’, so far as to obtain
their consent to be used as the willing in
struments of their unholy ambition, to be
lambs to the slaughter—unconsciously
licking the hands already raised to shed
their blood.”
Are you ready Democrats of Alabama!
to follow the lead and assist in carrying
out the schemes of men, who are so madly
bent upon the subversian of this Republic
and the destruction of that good old party
which if united is still the only National
political organization left in the coun
try, which possesses the power as
well as the will, to protect the rights
of every section of the country? AYe
believe you are not—on the con
trary, we fancy the echo of the voice of
Jackson is still ringing in your ear—
“The Federal Union—it must be pre
served.”
The Camels.—In his report Governor
Floyd the present Secrertary of War, says.
The experiments thus far made (and
they are pretty full) demonstrated that
camels constitute a most useful and eco
nomical means of transportation for men
and supplies through the great desert
and barren regions of our interior. A
camel will go safely with its burden
over ground so rough and precipitous
that a mule will scarcely pass ove* it un
laden without assistance. They require
no forage but what they gather in the most
sterile and barren parts of our continent
and, for many days together, live conven
iently without water. An abundant sup
ply of these animals would, beyond all
doubts, enable our army to give greater
and prompter protection to our frontiers
and to all our interoceanic routes than
three times their cost expended in any o-
ther way As a measure of economy and
efficiency I caunot too strongly recom
mend the purchase of a full supply to the
favorable consideration of Congress.

Only twenty years ago Last November
Louis Napoleon (the present emperor of
France) left the St Charles Hotel without
paying his board bill. In the New Or
leans Bee of November 20th, 1839, ap
peared the following account of the “noble
Count’s" departure from that city:
“Count Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,
whose arrival in this city was announced
in several of the papers, has left New Or-
lcrns in high dudgeon, and for just reason.
He was yesterday morning informed by
the proprietors of the St. Charles Hotel
that it was customary for gentleman trav
eling without baggage, (the Count was
splendidly provided in that way for a man
of his titular dimensions) to pay for their
board in advance, whereupon the follow
ing dialogue transpired:
“Count—My name is sufficient guaran
tee for my bill.”
“Publican -Your name Count, is a very
good name but won’t buy marketing,”
“Count—Make out my bill”
“Publican—It shall be done."
The Clerk thereupon presented the bill
made out in the name of Count L. N. Bo
naparte.
“My name,” said the Count, “is Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte—I wish it so stated
in full in the account”
A second bill was made out and the
entire name written out in fair legible let
ters.
* My name is Count Louis Napolecn
Bonaparte, Prince of Segoria, Kamschatka
and other dependencies, say so in the bill.”
responded the sprig of nobility.
“I will not make out a third bill,” said
the clerk.
“Then I’ll be d - d if I pay it!" said
his Excellency, and forthwith absquatula
ted.”
The Tomato as Food.—Dr. Bennett, s
professor of some celebrity, considers the
tomato an invaluable article of diet, and
ascribes to it various important medical
properties. First: That the tomato is
one of the most powerful apertinents of the
liver and other organs; where calomel is
indicated, it is probaly one of the most ef
fective and least harmful agents known to
the profession. Second: That a chemi
cal extract will be obtained from it thatwil
supercede the use of calomel in the cure of
disease. Third: That she has successfully
treated diarrohoea with this article alone.
Fourth: That when used as an article of
diet it is almost sovereign remedy fordys-
pepsia and indigestion. Fifth: That it
should be constantly used for daily food,
either cooked or raw, or in the form of
catsup; it is the most healthy article now
in use.
The Secret or Eloquence.—I owe my
success in life to one single fact, namely:
At the age of twenty-seven I commenced,
and continued for years, the proceis of
daily reading and speaking upon the con
tents of some historical or scientific book.
These off-hand efforts were made some
times in a cornfield, at others in the forest
and not unfrequcntly in some distant barn
with the horse and ox for my auditor*—
It is to this early practice in the great art
of all arts that I am indebted for the pri
mary and leading impulses that stimulated
me forward, and shaped and moulded my
entire subsequent destiny. Improve, then
young gentlemen, the superior advantages
you here enjoy. Let not a day pass with
out exercising your powers of speech.
There is no power like that of oratory.—
Cuesar controlled men by exciting their
fears ; Cicero, by captivating their affec
tions, and swaying their passions. The
influence of the one perished with the au
thor ; that of the other continues to this
day .-Henry Clay.
The patriot John Adams, it is said was
designed for a shoemaker, like his father.
One day Deacon Adams, his parent, gave
him uppers to cut out by a pattern that
had a three cornered hole in it, by which
it had hung upon a nail, and it was found
that he had followed the pattern exactly
trinagular hole and all. The deacon up
on seeing this declared that John wasn’t
fit to be a shoemaker, and put him to
j learning. The old patriot would have
i made a good printer, in an office where
all northern merchandise or other proper
ty.”
The above is a synopsis of the plan and
programme of the Bhett-Yancey-Memin
templated by himself and the southern
leagues, he could place bnt little trust in
the border States—“such States as Dele-
wale, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky,
