some of his partisans, there may yet be
means of escapo from the threatened

But without tome unmistakable astu

are not of that material that will submit

proclaimed by Mr. Webster to be a viola-
tion of the " compacl,"and n " bargain,"
added he, "broken on one side, is broken
upon all sides." Therefore, if Mr. Lincoln

It is our opinion that several of tho
Southern States will immediately prepare
themselves for secession. South Carolina
has already dono so. Other States will
doubtless follow. But in doing so, we have
an abiding faith that they will then await
the " overt act," and that such " act" may
bo rendered entirely unnecessary by a
timely ahd authorized announcement from
the head of the incoming Administration,
that the Constitutional rights of the
Southern States and people shall be sa
credly regarded ; that his Administration
is to be truly national ; that the Abolition
traitors of the North are to have no voice
in the Government, and that tho nulli
fying" States are to return ton faithful
allegiance to tho Constitution by a repeal
of all laws calculated to obstruct a faithful
execution of the fugitive slave law. Other
wise, we have tho worst of fears for tho
result.
As for Mr. Lincoln himself, wo believe
him to be a true patriot, and rational in
ontiraent j and, so far as ho may be left
to carry out his own views and wishes, all
would be well euough, But this is not
tho caso with tho Sewards, the Chases, the
Sumners, tLo Giddings', Lovcjoys, and
other loaders of hw party ; ard the great
question in which the dearest interests of
our glorious country aro most deeply in
volved, is, how far these leaders will be
able to control him in their encroach
ments upon the rights of the States.

modern warfare, and all the available
mean of th State used for that purpose.
In addition to the general preparation,
as new, North as well as South."
A few weeks after, Mr. Lincoln, in n
speech at Chicago, commented on ihe
passago which wo have cited from his
Springfield speech, as follows :
u He Mr. Douglas says that I am in
favor of makiug war iiy tho North upon
tho South for tho extinction of slavery ;
that I nm also in favor of inviting, as he
expresses it, tho South to war upon the
North for tho purpose of nationalizing sla
very. Now, it is singular enough, it you
will careful ly read that passage over, that
1 did not say that I was in favor of any
thing in it. f only said what. 1 cxpeclud
would take place, inado prediction only ;
it may have beena foolish ono, perhaps.
I did not even say that I desired that
slavery should be put in course of ultimate ex
tinction. 1 no say so now, however .- there
ne(d be no longer any quibble about that. 1 1
may be written down in the great speech."
ilo told his hearers iu the suuio speech
that he hated slavery as much as any Ab
clitionitt. This was his language:
'lhave always hated slavery as much Ithinh
us any abolitionist I havo been an Old Line
Whig I havo always hated it ; but I have
always been quiet al.ou. it until this new
I would also rocommend that the sorviees i era pf the introduction of tho Nebraska
of ten thousand voluntocrs bo immediate
ly accepted ; that they be organized and
drilled by officers chosen by thomse'.vce,
pnd hold themselves in readiness to bo
called on upon the phortost notice. With
this preparation for defence, and with nil
tho hallowed memories of past achieve
ments, with our love of liberty nnd ha
tred of tyrany, and with tho knowledge
that we are contending for tho safety of
our nomes ana hres:tles, wo enn confidont-
bill begau. 1 always believed that every
body nas against it, and that it was in
courso of ultimite extinction."
The above extracts seem to bo the key
to the new administration. No wonder the
South aro excited at the election of on
Abolition Fresidcnt, who "hates slaveiy
ns much as any Abolitionist."

Slave Representation.
Several Hhuk Republican orators, ilur
ing tho campaign just closed, frequently
stated in their speeches, in riieir wise nnd
cute manner, thnt " every five negroes in
a Southern State ero equivalent to three
votos." Upon this theory, tho slave
holder who owns one hundred slaves
is entitled to sixty votes, nnd ho who is
in possession of five hundred slaves, is
entitled to threo hundred votes. Ridicu
lous as this i, men mm in stature, but
not men in intcll cct have mndo use of
this declaration frequently during the
late canvass.
About such men thero enn be but one
opinion: they are cither ignorant fools,
or deliberate scoundrels for tho differ
ence wo would not toss a penny.
According to the last census, ono mem
ber of Congress is elected for every 1)3,4-10
persons. In counting the inhabitants in
a free State, every negro counts one for
Congressional representation. In the
slave States, however, nccording to the
Federal Constitution, five slaves count
but three for Congressional representation.
dent, the votes shall be taken by States,
aud a majority of all the States shall bo
necessary to a choice.
If the choice devolves upon the House
of Representatives, and they; fail to make
a choico before the 4th of March next
following, tho Vice President is to act as
1 I . L
I i resilient.
The person having the greatest numbor
of votes ns Vice President shall be the
Vice President, if such number bo a ma
jority of the whole number of Elec-
jtors appointed, and if no person have
a majority, then from the highest
nunibcrson thelist the .Senate shall choose
tlio Vice President. A quorum for the
purpose shall consist of two thirds of the
whole number of Senators, and a majority
of the whole number shall be necessary to
a choice.
Put noporson constitutionally ineligible
to the oilicc of President shall be eligible
to that of Vice President of the United
States.
Then is no constitutional protision for
the cuio whero there is neither President
nor Vice Tiesident elected or chosen in
tho manner directed by the Constitution.
The net of Congress of 1702 provides that,
under such circumstances, there shall oe
a new election.
