termined, before they left tfaerr homes, to estab
lish the Republican Party, by giving it tbeir
united support; and they did do it-finely, al
though the Douglasites strained every nerve to
outnumber us in voters. But when they had
drummed.lup tbeir entire forces, they found
their numbers diminished wonderfully since the
State Section; they found a great many of their
- beat men arrayed against them in the enemy’s
camp. .When the Douglasites discovered that
a great many of their mien bad left them since
the,State Election,.-thejy went their:greatest
.lengths in trying to reclaim the. lost' ones of
theif Mulatto tribe. They coaxed, stormed,
and blackguarded them, land even. tried to get

some of you, at the county seat may wonder
how this mighty change was brought about in

faW words; Had itjiot bjeen for tho never ceas
ing labors of the Republican Club, the majori
ty at this time would not be on the Republican
side. -Through the instrumentality of the
documents wo circulated,! and the speeches that
were made at oar Club meetings it begat a spirit
of inquiry in the minds of tho voters, and ever
since that time, up to the date of the late elec
tion, they have been busily engaged in reading
and seeking after the truth. And we feel to
rejoice’that a great many of the deluded Demo

“ PEACEABLE SECESSION.’
On this point Daniel Webster spoke in Iris
last great speech in the Senate, on the 7th of
March, 1850. Here him ;
Mr. President. —l should much prefer to hare
heard, from every member on this floor, declar
ations of opinion that this Union could never be
dissolved, than the declaration of opinion by
anybody,-that, in any case, under the pressure
of any circumstances, such a. dissolution was
possible. - I hear with distress and anguish
the word “Secession," especially when it,falls
from the lips of those who are patrotie, and
known to the country, and known all over the
world, for their political 'services. Secession!
..Peaceable secession I Sir, your eyes and, mine
are never destined to see, that miracle. ' The
dismemberment of this fast country without
convulsion! The breaking up of the fountains
of the. Great Deep without ruffling the surface !
Wbois so,foolish—l beg everybody’s pardon—
expeat to: seo any such , thing;? Sir,, ho
who sees these States, now revolving- in har
.monytaroupd a common centre, and expects them
.to-qpit..their places and’fly.off,, without con
vulsion, may look the..noit. hour to, sea. the
heavenly' bodies rush'from fbeir spheres and
jostle against each other in therealras of space,
without causing-tbewreck of .the Universe.—
There can be no such thing-as peaceable seces
sion'. secession is an utter impossi
-bilitjvl Is the great-Gonstitation-trader -which
we live'iCovering this whole country-—is it to be
melted away by secession as the
snows the mountain melt,-under the influ-.
ehce of- a rental snh - disappear almost unob
served, and run off? I . I will not state
wbat might produce the disruption of the Union;
but ;I see as plainly as I see the sun in hea
ven what that disruption'itself must produce.
I see that it must produoe'war, apd such a war
as I will notdescribe, in ita two-fold character.
Peaceable secession 1 - "Peaceable secession !
The cODCurent agreement of all the members
of this great Republic to separate! A volun
tary separation, with alimony on the one side
and on the other! Why, what would be the
result? Where is the line to be drawn ?. What
States are to secede ?—What is to remain-Ameri
can? Wbat am Ito be? An American no
longer? Am I to become.a-sectional-,man, a
local man, a separatist, with ho country in com
mon with the gentlemen who sit around me
here, or who fill the other house of Congress?
Heaven forbid ! Where is th e flag 'of the Re
public to remain ?' Where is the eagle still to
tower? Oris he to cower, and shrink, and
fall to the ground ? Why, sir, oar ancestors,
our fathers, and our grandfathers, those of them
that are yet living amongst us with prolonged
lives, would rebuke and reproach us; and our
children and our grandchildren would Cry out
shame upon ns, if we of this generation should
dishonor these ensigns of the power of the
government and the harmony of that Union
which is every day felt among us"with so much 1
joy and gratitude.

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1861.— Prospectus
Tha iXth Yolume of the Weekly Tribunecom t
roenced withtho issue of Sept. 1. Baring the pas
year The Tribune has been obliged to demote quite a
large proportion vf its space to politics, but we shall
soon be able to forego Political discussions almost en
tirely, for months if not for-years, and devote nearly
all our columns to subjects of less intense, bat more
abiding, interest. Among these, we mean to pay es
pecial attention to
L Education. —The whole subject of Education,,
both Popular and General, will be discussed in our
columns throughout the year 1861, and we hope to
elicit in.that discussion some of theprofoundest think
ers and the ablest instructoivin the country. It Is at
once our hope and our resolve that the cause of Edu
cation shall receive an impetus from the (exertions of
The Tribune in its behalf during the year 1861.
11. Agriculture. —We have been compelled to re
strict our elucidations of this great interest
out IStffr, andshall endeavor to atone therefor in 1861.
Whatever discovery, deduction, demonstration, is cal
culated to render the reward of labor devoted devoted
to cultivation more ample or more certain, shall re
ceive prompt and full attention.
111. Manufactures, Ac.—We hailevep r invention
or enterprise’ whereby American Capital 1 and Labor
are attracted! to and advantageously employed !n any
department of Manufacturing or Mechanical Industry
as a real coatribu&oh to the Public Weal, insuring
ampler, steadier, more convenient, more remunerating,
markets to farmer, with fuller employment and
bettor wages to the Laborer. The progress of Min
mg, Iron Making, Steel Making, Cloth weaving, Ac.,
in our country .aud the world, shall be watched and
reported by ua with an earnest and active sympathy.
IV. Foreign Affairs. —We employ the best cor
respondents in London, Paris, Turin, Berlin, and oth
er European Cnpitols, to transmit us sarly and accu
rate advices of tho great changes there silently but
earnestly preparing. In spite of the pressure of Do
mestic Politics, our Jfnws from the Old World is now
varied and ample; but we shall have to renderitmore
perfect during the eventful year just before us.
Y. llous ,News.-tWo employ-regular paid corres-,
pondentsin California, at fbo Isthmus’of Darien, in

they seem From the mire accessible por
tions of our own country, wo derive 'our information

Associated Press, from our exchanges,' and the occa
sional letters of intelligent friends. We ainTtdpriqfc

critic on the last,” and print a better and better paper
from year to ys&r* ns our means are steadily enlarged
through the generous co-operation of our many well
wishers, we solicit, and shall labor to deserve, a con
tinuance of public favor.
