SECESSION" KESULTSvs. THE TOTON.
In southern clime, where negroes shine,
And cotton bales are plenty;
Where men are fierce, and money scarce,
And wharfs and harbors empty.
Where men and boys are full of noise,
Who boast of theft and treason,
Defy the lajv,and talk of war,
Devoid of wit or reason ;
Such men of might so full of fight,
Who seem chuck full of thunder;
Keep all they get, but pay no debt,
And save their strength for plunder.
Cunning and bold was one of old;
He got a mess of pottage;
One rebel fair hung by tile hair,
And he lost all his porridge.
One rebel "troop was swallowed up,"
Which caused a world-wide shouting;
The Southern crew we must subdue;
The world approves their routing.
They steal their arms raise talsc alarms
Commence the war at Sumter;
They fire some squibs tell many fib?,
Deceptions without number.
For if wc think, and only wink, -
They call it abolition ;
Discard the North and only froth,
And that they call secession.
Thuir cotton bales now take the rails
To Northern ports for shipping,
Where vessels sail by every gale,
And Yankees get good picking.
Our ships go full to Johnny Bull,
And gold returns excessive, -
We lake the chink with nod and wink
Decidedly expressive. w
We hold our grip, and we w.iils.hipV
King corn as well' as cotton,
And keep our hold upon the gold
Where negroes arc forgotten.
And now, ,they groan about a loan,
Sopaltry- for a nut ion.
They can't relax their negro tax,
Nor dodge repudiation.

My sukcess wa skaly, and I likewise

Wo take tho following extract from a
letter of "Occasional" in the Press.' It
is forcible and to tho point.
'The miserable Marplots engaged in
tho disgraco of trying to divide the friends
of the country in the free States should
be exposed before they have succeeded in
their schemes. I will not name them,
but hopo that tho. people of Lancaster,
Berks, Northampton, Chester, Danphin,
Montgomery, Franklin, and other coun
ties, will look closely to certain invidious
leaders and nowipapers in their midst.
Our cause cannot prosper if stick internal
influences agamst the flag of the country

and punieh them wherever found."

The Washington National Republican, of
Saturday, says:
"We have hesrd reliably from Senator
Johuon as late as last Monday, when he
was bixty miles we-.t of Knoxvillo, on bis
canvass of the State which votes on the
Sth of June upon the question of seces
sion. Mr. Johnson and his friends were
at that date, hopeful.
"The style of Mr. Johnson's canvass
ing may be judged froaj tho commence
ment of his speech at Cleveland, Tenn ,
where threats against him had been large
ly indulged in. lie told the crowd that
he 'did not come here to be shot, but to
shoot,' that if there was to be a fight, be
and his friends were ready for it, and
that ho proferred to finish up tho fighting
before his speech. Nobody coming for
ward to fight, the intrepid Senator pro
ceeded to speak, and by tho timo ho bad
finished, nineteen twentieth of the audi
ence were with him. Ho told them n
mong other things, that Jeff. Davis and
the Governor of tho State ou-j-bt to be

when tbo judicial power of tho Govern

for fresh operations in our immediate
neighborhood began gradually to die out.
But of a sudden there came an unusual
stir 51-non.T t.hn nroa nlnn., llio clonal,
and men could bo seen unon the hns,;:
upon
tops gesticulating violently, and taking
turns at lorgnettes, while women as fran
tio as themselves flung about their arms,
and waved tber handkerchiefs, to ener
getic exclamations. The people in tho
streets seemed to catch by instinct tho
meaning of these signs, but not knowing
what to do, went swiftly to and fro iu
purposeless confusion. I could fancy
nothing more like it than the hoarse bo-
gmnmgs of a tremendous storm, and just 8ajf frc0 from a1 excitement, that to do
as I was feeling its infiuence with the 1 gtr0J our office or 6top our windpipe, is
rest, the boom of a great gun sounded the 0Diy waJ in whioh wo can be proyen.
from the neighborhood of the White , te(i frora denouncing secession, and advo
Houee. The report Beomed to transfix foating the Union. Thcro is now but
every listener at once, and all ears were
bent to hear another.
It soon came, but
on all sides tho only words which rcspon
ded to it were "That is tbe second'."
Another pause of fevoriah interest en
sued, and then, in a third report, pealed
forth the complete announcement that
war, grim, bloody, earnest war had be
gun between tho people of tho North and
South. This, too, was tho call to arms.

Good for the Parson.
Parson Brownlow, of tho Knoxvillo
(Tennessee) Whig, still holds out nobly.
Iu a lato number bo says: "That all
mav understand us. we tako occasion to
tIiroe rjuion Da!)er3 jn Tennessee, as wo
!COnsidcr, and unless wc aro assassinated.
or our offioe is destroyed, wc shall soon
have the honor of standing alone. And
thero wo shall 6tand neither tho gates
of hell, nor the pressuro of secession
riots, being able to prevail against our
conviction of right."
South Side Yiew.
A clergyman relates the following con
versation as having occurred in Alabama,
not long since. The probabilities of tho
conflict were being discussed in a coun
try hotel, and ono and another expressed
i his views pretty freely when an appeal
wns made in an old settler, as follows:
"Well, old horse, what do you think of
it!" "I think we are to be confoundedly
whipped," said be. "The North have a
jConstitption, a united fooling, plenty of
money, and (Jod on their side, ana wo
have only a few cursed Spaniards in Cu
ba, no credit, and the devil on our sido.
Now I own slaves' and am with the South,
but let me tell you wo are to bo con
foundedly whipped."
