South Carolina and France.
The Charleston Courier, after quoting a part
of' the New York French Courier‘s article inti
m.fing that South Carolinahad made overtures
to France, with a. view to ascertain whether,
under certain circumstances, she would guaran
tee the neutrality of one or more places on the
Southern coast of the United States, remarks
as follows :
Tint so silly and absurd a. statement should have found
ik my into the columns of a. respectable paper shows
hov‘frmtful is the crisid uf reports that could he"! had no
other source than excited imaginations. What party
could have had authority to make overtures before my
definite phi: of resistance has been digested and deter
mined on, it would he dilficult to conceive, and why one
of the European gover- manta rather than another with
which the South he: the lnrgvst intercourse—why France
nth'er then England—should hive been made the power
to whom such overtures were made, it would be no loss
Ilificnlt to imagine.
The rumors afloat of a letter to be written by the
rte-identclect intended to sootho the me Yes of than
who have persistently denounced him we. foe to the
Constitution and the South. seem to us as devoid of in
trinsic probability a: of positive support.—lh'bune.
The ultra Republican journals fear the efi‘ect
of a conservative policy on the part of the in
coming Administration. But while the T ribunc
clings to the hope that Mr. Lincoln will push
on the “ irrepressible conflict,” it is 171 mm
that he “will issue aconserntive declaration,”
touching the policy which is to govern his oiii
cial conduct. ..
Already do the evidences of disruption begin
in show themselves in the Republican party.
The possession of political power is the very
worst thing which could have befanen it..—
While in the opposiiion, it could act unitedly
against its adversaries,_ but. clothed will: re~
sponsihilily, and especially with the distribu
tion of oificial favors, difficulties will at once
beset. its pathway. ,
The Vote of Dauphin County.
The vote of Dauphin county at the October
election was as follows :
Andrew G. Gnu-tin...n
Henry 1). Foster
Total
The vote at the Presidential election shows a.
ennuiderablc falling of, and was distributed as
follows:

To“! vote for Gavel-non... ...
Loss for President than Governor.
This shows a large falling of in the vole for
Presidcn‘t, is compared with the vote for Gover
nor, the diminution being nearly entirely on
the Democratic side. While the Republicans
polled within 24 as many votes for ngeom as
for Curtin, the whole anti-Republican vote com
bined is 546 lees than the vote given to Fosmnn.
This light vote is easily accounted for from the
fact that the Democratic party was divided and
dispirited. and hundreds of Democrats re
mained at. home, because the“; was no encour—
agement to go to the election, when defeat was
certain. . .
It is probable that the total vole of the State
will show the some proportionate falling off in
the Democratic vote, and that the immense mm
jority for Lincoln in Pennsylvania represents
as much the apathy of his opponents as the.
positive strength of the Republican party.
If there has been the same falling off in the
“ti-Republican vote throughout the State, the
sggregate will not reach within thirty or forty
thousand of that polled at the October election.
This is a curious result, as at former Presi
dential elections the vote has been invariably
greater than of. the preceding State eleetion.
The Public Sentiment at the South.
Now that the Presidential contest is over and ‘
the result ascertained, there arises the anxious
inquiry, what will be its elfect upon the coun
try? and what its influence upon the public
sentiment of the slave States ‘2 Pending the
controversy, political parties, both in the North
sud the South, were too much excited, too en
thusiastic and impulsive, to reason calmly and
to look dispassionately upon the main point
involved. viz : the preservation or dissolution
of the Union. The threats on the one side and
the taunts on the other were lookedupon as so
much electioneering matter; and few persons,
comparatively speaking, paused to examine
into the real issues of the campaign. Now,
however, there is ample leisure for such an ob
servation of the field, and politicians stand
amazed at the audacity of their own conduct,
and wonder what efiect the results produced
will have upon the country, .
Our=advices from the Southern States, says
the Journal of Commerce, particular], those in
which the dieunion sentiment has been strong. %
est and most freely expressed, show that the
excitement attending the announcement of Lin
coln’s ele'ction was quite intense, and that, in
some quarters at least the idea of instant, im- 1
mediate secession has taken a strong hold upon
the public mind. How far this idea will per
wade the South is a question of deep concern
at the present time, and one upon the solution
of which the future of the country largely de
pends. Had the election of Lincoln to the
Presidency been accompanied by the choice of
a Republican Congress, as Southern men had
justly been led to anticipate, and the whole
power of the Government, in its Executive and
Legislative branches, thrown into the hands of
the nationalists, a resort to extreme measures
would not have been surprising. But the naked
triumph of the Republican party on the Presi
dential question, shorn of the strength, power
and moral influence which 8 complete victory.
would have given them, is not an occurrence so
alarming as to justify haste in the action which
the Southern States may feel called upon to
take. ‘ -~
Mr. Lincoln as fresidppt. éven {mpposing
him 19,9ntertain all I,lle,exlreme doctrines at
tributed to Marvin-have But little when-while
the Légiglatire'bmu'ch of'lhg' govgifhgnent is
against him, to perpetrate mischief. The vic
tory is a barren one, except so far as it places
the Republicans in possession of the emolu
ments pertaining to the numerous oflices within
the gift of the President, and these the parti
zans of the President elect are waiting for with
an impatience _vvhich‘ indicates more jthe greed
for gain, than the t‘fiumph of a principle. Io
distribute}. few thousand oflicés among ten
times the number of applicants, will be no easy
task for the President elect, especially as no
one of the hungry swarm will be willing to
wait a. week after the inauguration for his
chance at the spoils. But with the law making
power against him, it is not easy to discover
where the President possesses any considerable
opportunity to inflict evil or injury to the
South. He may recommend unjust and impo
liric‘ measures—he may talk largely of pre
venting the extension of slavery—but he is
just about as powerless for actual mischief, as'
any man in the country. ‘
On one pomt, and one only, does the Presi
dent possess the ability to do real injury to
the property and material interests of the
South. The fugitive slave low is the security
provided by the Constitution for their posses
sion, undisturbed, of their property in slaves.
There has been a. disposition strongly and
widely manifested, to evade and nullify this
law, or its effective execution, in several ofthc
free States. The partisans of the President
elect have been. active,'first, in personal and
violent resistance to the authorities, and in the
rescue of fugitives from the government oili
cers ; and secondly, where they had the control
of the State Legislatures, in enacting State
laws in conflict with the plainest provisions of
the Constitution and statutes of the United
States. That Mr. Lincoln has sympathized
with these movements, there is too much reason
to believe, and the inquiry now becomes perti
nent, ‘whether, as President, he will pursue the
policy so clearly favored by his active sup
porters, end let the laws go uncxecuted, or
adopt the line of duty pointed out by his oath
of office, and see that the laws are faithfully exe
cuted. _lf the former. no execrations would be
too severe, and no impeachment too quick and
certain,—if the latter, he will possibly save
his country from division and blood, at the ex
pense of the party which has raised him to
power. \
Under the gratifying results which our Con
gressional elections exhibit, we think the South
may properly maintain an attitude which would
not have been deemed admissible there, had
the full power of the Government passed into
the hands of the Republicans. Had that party
with their bun-en Presidential triumph, also
carried a. majority of Congress, we should
scarcely have dared to expect the conservative
policy which now seems consistent with the
dignity and honor of Southern men. But mod
eration, with the checks which will operate
upon the President elect, and prevent, us we
hope, any attack upon the rights of the South,
seems entirely proper and just towards them
selves and the country, and we hope that line
of policy will be deemed the best- for them to
pursue, under the peculiar circumstances now
existing.

The Synod of the Gurman Reformed Church of the
United States embraces 366 ministers and 1,050
congregations. The following is a. statement of
the action of the Synod at its late meeting in Le
banon, on the Southern Aid Society, whose object
is to assist in preaching the Gospel to the poor in
the Southern and South-western States : >
The Rev. Luther Farnham, one of the Secreta
ries of the Southern Aid Society, being present, an
opportunity was ofi‘ered him to address the Synod
on the nature, objects, claims and doings of the So

The following resolution was thereupon presented
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we have heard with pleasure the
statements of the Rev. Mr. Fernhsm concerning
the character and operations of the Southern Aid
Society. and having confidence in the Evangelical,
conservative principles on which it is based, and by
which it appears to be regulated, recommend it to

A}: ELnorroxEEmNG Denom—A‘New York
paper mentions that some of the Sharp politi
licians there have invented a. new (lodge in the
way of betting. One of them, for instance,
me‘cts a man of“ the opposite party, and says,
“Who do you vote for this time‘?” The reply
is, “For -——-—, or course.” "I’ll bet. you
twenty you don’t," is the answer, “you’ll
change your mind before election day.” The
wager is unsuspectingly accept-ed, when the
betting politician goes in pursuit of another
victim. On elqotion day he will challenge
every greenhoru with whom he has made, a bet,
and each one will, as a matter of course, nob
only lose his vote but. his money also.
THE LAST IIIAN.—-That 'doleful “Last Man”
story‘is again going (ho rounds of the papers.
Seven medical student; in Cincinnati, thirty
years ago, formed a. club, and agreed to dine
once a year at a stated time. A casket, con
taining ‘e. bottle of wine, to he drank by the last.
surviving member, was entrusted to one and
another, according toilet. They all lived and
were able to punish their liquor for seven years;
The eighth year one had dropped ofl", the ninth
year another, and finally, the other (lily, the
last surviving member dined all alone, drunk
the bottle of wine, wept to find himself a. club

SAD ACCIDENT.-:—lMr. Sewcll H. Brown, civil
engineer on the Mfiryland and Delaware rail
road, and who is a son of David Paul Brown,
Esq., of Philadelpqic, while out gunning on
the 2d instant, six miles this side of Greens
bor'ough, on the line of the new-road, was ac
cidentally shot, one of. the particles of which
penetrated the eye, from the etfects of which,
it is feared, he will lose the sight. Several others
also entered various parts of his body, but
producing no very serious wounds. It was
phrely accidental, his brother, David Paul
Brown, Jr., discharging his gun at a. partridge,
not knowing that he was in that direction.
Rerunmcs NOl7 UxouArnrun.—The year in
which Mount Vernon became the property of
the Union by'the efi'orts of American women
consummated the purchase of the Grutii by the
school children of Switzerland, at a. cost of
$ll,OOO. The Crutii, near Aldorf, and the
birthplncc of Tell, is the spot where, in the
fourteenth century, three brave men entered
into a secret combination to rid the country of
its oppressors, a movement which soon extended
to the other cantons. The sale of this place,
dear to every Swiss, was concluded on the one
hundredth birthday of Schiller.
Tm; FASHIOSABLE Amnsmmxr AT NAPLES.—
The Times’ correspondent says : “There is a
lot of young men of fortune at Naples at the
present moment, mostly Englishmen and Amer
icans, who amuse themselves by going out by
roll every morning to Garibaldi’s quarters
before Capua, andwith valuable gums of long
range, which they have purchased for the pur
poSe, pick off the men at the outposts of the
royal army all day, and return to the city in
the evening to boast of the number of game
they have ‘bagged’ during the day.”
THE PRESS vsnsns THE Punt—Henry Ward
Beecher, on a recent occasion, said:— «“The
articles of the press go further than the sermon,
and carry withthem really more weight, cer
tainly where one hears three, which is an
abomination before God and man. No preacher,
who is fit to preach a. sermon, is fit. to preach
more than one a day; and no man is fit to hear
more; or, if he does, he is not fit for much else.
Sermons are like boys’ pop guns :_. however
many wads you put. in, it's the last wad that
drives the others out.”
SKULL Curs.———One of the ancient “Skull
Cups” of Sweden is on sale at Milwaukie, for

silver, very massive, finely chased and inscribed
and inlaid with Swedish coins and medals.—
These cups are now very rare, and it. is prob
ably the only one in America. It is one of the
four taken to England by Sir Arlhur de Cape!
Brooke, and Francxs de Quincy says he has
seen such cups sell at one thousand’dollars.
A TITLED Omens PRoran’ron.—The London
American announces that Messrs. Howes &
Gushiug’s gran-b circus, which has been on ex

Rhine, upon‘ which is a baronial castle. The
title accompanying the estate will give our
great American circus proprietor the title of
Baron Howes.
MODERN Dnnxlnoxs.—Beauty, like lobsters,
will epoil in time; kisses, like ice. will melt;
words are but air; love is only a. bubble, bright,
beautiful in the light of fancy—touched by the
rough reality of life it is nothing; hope, the
plaything of the hour; despair the suicide’s ex
cuse; money, the god men worship; honesty, a
new suit. of clot-hes, worn as little as possible,
and soon out. of fashion; pride, an excellent
substitute for knowledge; honor, pistols and
ooifee for two. i
