' WHO ARE THE DISUNION ISTS 1
We answer, without fear of successful con
tradiction i the Breckinridge Democrats in the
South, aided and abetted by allies of the same
stripe of politics at the North. Has a Repub
lican ever been heard threatening, advocating
Or Justifying Disunion 7 We defy any one to
point out a single instance anywhere or at any
time 5 and, with very few exceptions, indeed,
there are no persons, of any party, outside of
the Breckinridge organization, who so declare
themselves. The late secession movements in
the South are not, as Democratic politicians
contend, the direct resnlt of a Republican tri
umph. The way the U. S. Senate and House
of Representatives will be constituted, the Re
publicans having no majority in either branch,
and were he ever so much disposed to do so,
Mr. Lincoln is powerless to do harm. His elec
tion, therefore, is not the cause, it has only
been seized upon as the opportunity for seces
sion. There are hundreds, yea thousands of
men in the South who are daily declaring that,
of itself, the success of the Republican candi
date is co just ground for withdrawing from
the Union. The cause can be found else
where. . Ambitious aspirants, who had been
looking to the White House for years, but bad
long ago foreseen that the census of 1860
would shift the center of political power and
entirely destroy their hopes, and who see po
sition, influence and advancement for them
selves looming up in this new political 1 Do
' rado a Southern Confederacy are the lead
ing spirits who control and shape this crusade
against the Union. They are cheered by the
same ambition which induced Mr. Calhoun, af
ter failing to attain the Presidency, to break
with (Jen. Jackson, concoct the scheme of nul
lification, and pursue his fallacious notions of
a Southern Government to the end of his life.
This so-called crisis, as was admitted recently
by a member of the South Carolina Legisla
ture,' is a legitimate consequence of twenty
years' education la hatred of the Federal Gov
ernment. The present generation in that State
imbibed their treasonable sentiments from the
"maternal fount," and have only waited a fa
vorable occasion to make good the threats of
rebellion which have heretofore proved impo
tent, or have been restrained by motives of
policy. ' The same feeling extends to portions
of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida,
whereto South Carolinians have emigrated,
and where the theories of their great bead
were favorably received and carefully nurtured.
And now the teachings of John C. Calhoun are
exhibiting their first fruits. .- In the Democra
tic National Convention at Charleston in last
April the Secessionists commenced the pros
ent movement. Many went there, it is said,
with the avowed purpose of creating dissen
slons and breaking up thaf.body, so tint,
through the divisions of the Democratic party,
tne Republicans could elect their candidate,
and give the Disunionists the pretext of "pre
cipitating tlio Cotton States into revolution."
Their scheme only partly succeeded. At Bal
tlmore they carried it out fully ; a bolt was a
gain made there, and the Southern Seceders
a "sectional" body nominated JohnO.Breck
Inridgo, a Southern man, for the Presidency.
After this was witnessed the humiliating spec
facie of Northern doughfaces crouching down
and crawling on their bellies to their Southern
masters telling them if the Union was dis
solved tbey would go with the South in or
dor to gain favor in their eyes, and bask in the
auuahine of their approbation.' Had the Nor
thern Democracy stood up manfully to the
work bad they disregarded the menaces and
nnrned the demands of the fire-eaters we
would have beard none of this blustering and
faming about Secession, and would have ex
perienced none of the excitement which is now
engaging the attention of everybody.
ANOTHER PANIC.
: Panics, it seems, are the order of the day.
Some weeks ago, as our readers doubtless re
member, Secretary Cobb and the Democratic
politicians got one up to affect the New York
election, causing a loss of hundreds of thous
ands of dollars, which fell heavily upon wid
ows and orphans who owned stocks. - Last
week Philadelphia was a'so subjected to a
money panic, suporiaduced by the Secession
movements of the South, which depreciated
their bank paper, caused numerous suspen
sions, and created general distrust. The Phil
adelphia banks, fearing a "run" would be
made upon them, after partaking of the gen
eral alarm for a day or two, on Thursday like
wise suspended specie payments. , This at
once checked the excitement, and, as we are
informed by a friend, the banks went on dis
counting and paying out specie ' as usual, as
well as restoring general confidence Thus
the world has had the opportunity of again
witnessing a "panic" without a good cause ;
for, as a cky eotemporary says, "the country
never - before was so rich and strong as it is
now it is full of Grain, full of Cattle and
Swine, full of Specie, full of everything.
There was never before a time when a financial
tornado' had less cause than now consequent
ly neTer before one when it would do less real
harm. , Our Exports are large beyond prece
dent ; Specie has ceased to flow from us, and
must soon begin 1q pour heavily in upon as. ;
Our Mines, our Herds, our Farmers, our Fac
tories are all doing well ; a panic now may
save us from one when we should not be half
so able to stand it." But who is responsible
for these "panics?" The one in New York
was raised by Secretary Cobb and other Dem
ocratic politicians; and the present one was
also doubtless pushed along by unscrupulous
partizans But be this as it may, we have no
idea that it will last long. It may cause busi
ness to move along sluggishly for a while ; but
it will also induce men to be more cautious in
their operations, and thus "good may come
out of evil." Time will tell the story. v
THE SECESSION MOVEMENT.
The excitement in the South still continues.
Meetings are being held, speeches made, and
letters written some for, and others against
secession. Senator Toombs, of Georgia, de
livered a speech on the 1st, at Milledgeville,
in which he took strong grounds for secession,
and asked his friends to give him the sword,
for if they did not, as God lives, he would
take it himself. The next evening, non. A.
H. Stevens also delivered a speech, counsel
ing moderation and forbearance, and that the
people of Georgia should wait until Mr. Lin
coin committed some "unconstitutionol act"
before taking any steps towards secession.
He compared our country to "the Garden of
Eden, the Paradise of the Universe," and said
that out of it we might become greater and
more prosperous, but his apprehensions were
that, like our first parents, instead of becom
ing, as they supposed, gods, the people of the
South, like them, will only expose their na
kedness, "turn demons, and at no distant day
commence cutting one another's throats."
The Governor of Alabama has written a let
ter upon the subject of calling a convention
of the people. lie regrets that he cannot
construe the law as empowering him to call the
convention immediately. lie will await tho
election of Lincoln by the Electoral College,
and will then issue his proclamation ordering
the election for delegates to the convention
to take place. The convention will be called
to meet on the 7th of January. The Gover
nor urges the selection of candidates at once,
with full assurance that the convention will be
called. He advises the separate secession of
Alabama.
Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky,has written
a strong letter in oppositian to the scheme of
the secessionists. He regards the election
Lincoln as no cause lor "secession or rebel-
ion," and alludes to the alleged wrongs sua
tained by the South at the hands cf the North
Yet be says he is opposed to secession. The
Governor is evidently reluctant to take this
position, and only yields his own personal sen-
timets to tho overwhelming anti-secession
sentiment of his State.
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia; has written a
letter, in which he says that "if the North
will respect and uphold the rights of the States,
the Union will be perpetual, our country will
continue to grow in power and influence, the
people of all sections will have secured to
them the blessings of peace, quiet and order,
and a prosperity, such as has never been
known or appreciated in our past history."
He says "the South asks only for the fair and
faithful execution of the laws passed for the
recovery and protection of her property."
A difference of opinion exists between Mr.
Buchanan and a portion of his Cabinet. The
President, it is understood, will take ground
against the Sesessionists in bis forthcoming
message, holding that secession is unconstitu
tional, that it was never contemplated by the
frame r8 of the Constitution, bnt that it was
expressly forbidden by their concurrent decla
rations and the interpretation ot the most em
inent expounders. This has produced consid
erable excitement in South Carolina, where,
it was feared an outbreak would ensues not
withstanding all the precautions that had been
taken to prevent any rash movement. Secre
taries Cobb and Thompson differ with the
President ' and justify the movements in the
South, and while consenting to hold their pla
ces in the Cabinet, will announce their opin
ions without reserve.
William L. Yancey, in a recent speech at
Montgomery, Ala., on the crisis, said : "This
night two weeks ago, I wasasked.while sneak
ing in New York, what course I would advise
Alabama to take in the event that Lincoln
should be elected President. Acting in per
feet good faith to the issues presented by the
party, whose cause I advocated, and which is
sues contemplated a solution of the political
question at the ballot box only, within the
Union, I declined to give utterance to my in
dividual opinions, which could only tend to
embarrass my friends and to encourage their
foes, but told the people of New York that I
should cheerfully give that advice to my fellow-citizens
of Alabama,whenever they should
see fit to ask it, applause, and I redeem that
pledge to-night, by saying tnat in my opinion
the election ot Abraham Lincoln to the office
of President of the United States by the Black
Republican party, taken in connection with his
own political utterances, and the views and
acts of his party In Congress, and in the sev
oral Northern States, is an overt act against the
Constitution, applause, and against the Union
applause, and as such should be deemed
sufficient cause for a withdrawal of the State
of Alabama, and a resumption of all the pow
ers she has granted to the Union, by separate
secession." Prolonged applause.1
The speaker concluded with the following
rhetoric: "As for myself, rather than live
on, subject to a government which breaks the
compact at will, and places mo in a position
cf inequality of inferiority to the Northern
free negro though that life might be illustra
ted by gilded chains by luxury and by ease
I would, in the cause of my State, gather a
round me some- brave spirits, who, however
few in number, would find a grave, which my
countrymen, the world,, and all future ages,
should recognize as a modern Thermopylae !
Prolonged applause.
TWO HUXD&ED AND FlFTT PERSONS HANGED.
The Mobile, Ala., Mercury, of a late date,
says: "We saw a gentleman yesterday, di
rect from Texas, ne came from the region of
country where the hanging process was rife
some time back. : He says the distant public is
not informed of the extent ot the hanging. He
is a member of a vigilant committee, which
has been in correspondence with the commit
tees of other counties, and estimates that not
loss than two .hundred and fifty persons- have
f&red death at a cope's end.". .
WHAT THEY MAY EXPECT.
The Republicans of Springfield, : Illinois,
the borne of Mr. Lincoln, had an immense
jubilee on the zUtn. "lne city was crowded
with strangers from the surrounding States,
all of whom made it a point to see and shake
hands with the President elect. The Wide
Awake procession, in the evening, halted in
front of the residence of Mr. Lincoln, and
gave cheer after cheer, until "honest Old Abe'
mide his appearance and thanked them for
the compliment. An immense concourse
then assembled in the Wigwam, and were ad
dressed by Senator Trumbull. As his speech
may be looked upon as a foreshadowing of
Mr Lincoln's policy, we are induced to give
an abstract of it. After congratulating the
Republicans on their, victory, and eulogizing
Mr. Lincoln, Senator Trumbull proceeded to
say :
Mr Lincoln although the candidate of the
Republican party, as Chief Magistrate, will
neither belong to that or any other party
When inaugurated he will be the President of
the country, and the whole country; and
doubt not will be as ready to defend and protect
the Slate in which he has not received a solitary
rote, against any encronchment upon its consti
tutional rights, as the one tn which he has receiv
ed the largest majority. While they, by whoso
votes he has been disignated as chief Magis
trate of this Republic, will expect him to
maintain and carry forward the principles on
which he was elected, they know, that in do
ing so, no encroachments will be made on the
reserved rights of any of the States. They
know that the Federal Government is one of
delegated powers that it can do nothing ex
cept the authority for the act can be found in
the instrument which created it, and that all
powers not conferred are reserved to the States
or the people of the States. Wnen their po
litical opponents have charged the Republi
cans with Abolitionism, or attributed to them
a desire to interfere with slavery in the States
or some fanatic has insisted that they ought
to do so, the reply has invariably been, that
the people who made the Federal Government
did not think proper to confer on it such an
authority, and it has therefore no right to med
dle with Slavery in a State than it has to meddle
with serfdom in Russia, nor are the people of
non-slaveholding States, in any way responsi
ble for slavery in the States which tolerate it,
because on that question they arc to each
other as independent governments. I have
labored in and for the Republicon organiza
tion. with entire confidence that whenever it
should be in power, each and all of the States
would be left in as complete control of their own
affairs respectively, and at as perfect liberty to
choose and employ their own means of protect
ing property and preserving peace and order
wilhin their respective limits, as they have
ever been under any administration. Those
who have voted for Mr. Lincoln have expect
ed, and still expect this, and they would not
have voted for him, had they expected other
wise, l regard it as extremely fortunate, lor
the peace of the whole country, that this point
upon which the Republicans have been so long
and so persistently misrepresented, is now to
be brought to a practical test and placed be
yond the possibility of a doubt. It should
bo a mattet of rejoicing to all true Republi
cans, that they will now nave an opportunity
of demonstrating to their political adversa
ries, and the world, that they are not for inter
fering with the domestic institutions of any of
the Stales, and are not the advocates of negio e
quality or amalgamation, with which political
demagogues have so often charged them.
When this is shown, a reaction will assuredly
take place in favor of Republicanism. The
Southern mind even will be satisfied. The
l ights of Northern men will be respected, and
the fraternal feeling existing in olden times when
men from all parts of the country went forth to
gether to battle for a common cause, against a
common enemy, will be restored.
Disunionists per se, of whom unfortunately
there have been a few in the country, for
some years, understand this, and are now in
hot haste to get ont of the Union, precisely be
cause they percieve they cannot muck longer
maintain an apprehension among the Southern
people that their homes and firesides and lives are
to be endangered by the action of the Federal
Government. With such, now or never is the
maxim ; hence they seek to inflame the public
mind by misrepresenting the objects and pur
poses ot tho Republican party, with the hope
of precipitating the Southern States into a
position from which they cannot, without dis
honor, afterwards recede, well knowing if
they delay till after the new Administration
is inaugurated and tested, it will furnish no
cause for their complaints. Secession is an
irupractibilily or rather an impossibility. The
Constitution provides no way by which a State
may withdraw from the Union no way for
the d issolution of the Government. It creates
the general Government interferes but little
with the individual rights of the citizens, ex
cept for protection ; it is chiefly felt in its
benefits and its blessings, and not in its exac
tions. If every federal officer in South Caro
lina were to resign and their offices remain
vacant, and its convention declare the State
out of the Union, it would all amount to little
except to inconvenience to the citizens of that
State. So long as the State did not interfere
with the collection of revenue, on the sea
boards, the people in other portions of the U
nion would not be in the least inconvenienced
What is the South Carolina army to do when

more
readily to suppress any uprisings in
their midst, which their misrepresentations
of the p u poses ot tho Republicans may have
encouraged. She complains that the fugitive
slave law is not executed in some of the States.
This, if true, the whole country knows to be
a sham, so far as South Carolina is concerned
one is so situated in at no slave can escape
from her limits into free states. However
much cause the border slave states may have
to complain of the escape of their negroes in
to the free states, it is clear South Carolina
can have no such complaint. In her resolves
she professes to be preparing to defend her
self against encroachments on Tier rights.
Let her adhere to this policy and not attempt
to dictate to other states what tbey shall do,
and no collision will occur, tor no encroach
ment will be made."
: The speaker expressed the opinion that the
disunion feeling is greatly exaggerated, and
that not all the supporters of Breckinridge are
Disunionists. He asserted emphatically that
should the Disunionists succeed in overcom
ing the Union men of the South, and plunge
the counlry into civil war, an overwhelming
cry that the Union must and shall be preserved
would arise in all parts of the land and war
would then come home to the traitors.
The speaker concluded by enumerating the
beneficent measures likely to be accomplished
under a Republican government, and express
ing confidence that it will give peace and well
being to the counlry. . . .-, ; ; .
SOUTH CAROLINA VERSUS VIRGINIA.
' From The Charleston, S. C, Mercury.
Southern Conference too Late! We
see it stated in the papers, that, by the Legis
lature, which we believe, is summoued to
meet in January, Virginia will propose a meet
ing of the Southern States in conference.
This is the measure which South Carolina
proposed to Virginia last Winter. It was hoot
ed down, and rejected as a disunion measure.
If it had been adopted, an Abolitionist would
not, in all probability, have been elected Pres
ident of the United States, and the sectional
ism of the North might have been alarmed.
It was an exco:dirgly conservative proposition,
which Virginia was unable to appreciate. The
limes have now passedjbeyond it. - Virginia
imiy now call, but the South will not answer.
She is completely demoralized in the estima
tion of the South ; and no Southern State, in
tent on vindicating her rights and preserving
her institulions, would not go into a confer
ence with her. She has placed the Union
above the rights and institutions of the South,
and will only week a conference with the
Southern States in order to bring them down
to the level of her fatal Union policy. Vir
ginia and the other frontier States may as well
at once understand their position with the
Cotton States. Tbey are not expected to aid
the cotton States in protecting themselves
and redeeming their liberties. They will
practically aid the Northern States in attempt
ing to obtain in the South an acquiescence in
the rule of Abolitionists at Washington. The
Southern States, however, will disregard their
counsels. They want no conference but in
the Convention which will assemble to frame
the Constitution.and complete,the organization
of a Southern Confederacy. They intend to
secede from the Union, and construct a Union
among themselves, and will be glad to find
Virginia and the other border States in coun
sel with them, after this great revolution.
But if these value their own dignity, or re
spect our wishes, let them keep aloof from us
until they are prepared to dissolve their con
nection with tho present Union, and to unite
their destiny with that of the other Southern
States. If they will not be our friends, let
them not bo our enemies, by unsolicited and
undesired efforts under whatever amiable pre
text of preserving an abolished Union, to
subject us to the sectional despotism of a con
solidated government under the control of
Abolitionists at Washington. The day for
hew guaranties is gone. Ilencelorth we are
two people.
From The Alexandria, Virginia, Gazette.
The Charleston Mercury will "take nothing"
bv its impudent allusions to Virginia. Our
State, under the advice ; of the conservative
menot both parlies Democrats and Whigs
and by the resolution of its Legislature, de
clined, as it had aright to do, and as its best
interests demanded, the invitation of South
Carolina on a former occasion to go into a
proposed Convention of the Southern States.
It declined respoctfully. It treated the Com
missioner of South Carolina with all honor
and courtesy and respect. It was an invita
tion from another State to us, produced by
the foray of a band of incendiaries, fanatics,
and assassins upon our territory and to the in
jury of our citizens. V irginia chose to punish
these ruffians under her own laws which she
did to the entire extirpation of the whole band
and to provide for her own aafety without
troubling other States, or calling upon them to
avenge her wrongs or take up her quarrel.
.That she did well and wisely we have no doubt,
and all honor and thanks to the patriots in the
Legislature who then directed her counsels
and shaped her action in this matter! We
have now no doubt that had that invitation
been accepted the disunion movement would
have commenced then, and Virginia' been ex
pected to head and lead it on ! Is it the fail
lire to "hitch in" Virginia then which has pro
duced the outbreak ot the Mercury and its
disunion friends now ? Let that be as it may,
we repeat that the Mercury will take nothing
and make nothing by its exposition of the
feelings of the South Carolina disunionists
towards Virginia and the other boTder States.
On the contrary, its remarks will disgust and
turn away from all sympathy with their course
thousands of the citizens of Virginia, who,ad-
mitting the injuries inflicted upon the South
by Northern Legislatures and .Northern peo
pie, will not suffer patiently the arrogant air,
tone, and pretensions now assumed by the
South Carolina coteries.
FRESH TROUBLES IN KANSAS.
"The Government at Washington has Just
been informed," says a despatch of the 21st
Inst., "that Capt. Montgomery and his compa
ny have commenced operations in Kansas a
gain by hanging and killing their opponents,
and threatening to compel an adjournment of
the land sales advertised to take place during
the month of December." Montgomery is
represented as having "a force of probably five
hundred men, with plenty of arms, ammunition
and other material aid, and that from time to
time warlike supplies have been received by
him from the North." - Orders wnl bo forth
with dispatched directing the United States
troops in Kansas to proceed to such points as
may bo necessary for the protection ot the land
officers in the performance of their duty as
well as the property menaced, including Fort
Scott, which became notorious during the for
mer difficulties in Kansas as being one of the
principal Border Kufban strongholds. What
ever Capt. Montgomery's faults may be, it ap
pears that, when the country was ringing with
charges of wholesale robbery, arson and mur
der, he went to the Federal Governor and sur
rendered hiniselt-tor trial, but no grand jury
could be induced to hnd a bill against him
It will require probably but a short to know to
a certainty whether his course now is as outra
geous as represented, fn the meantime we
give the other side of the story, which we find
set forth in the N. Y. Tribune as follows :
44 About three years since a survey was made
of the Indian lands in the south-western cor
ner of the Territory, and the northern bounda
ry of the Indian Reservation fixed about twelve
miles south of Fort Scott. Immediately north
of this was the JSew York Reservation, and no
tice was given that these lands wete open to
settlement, as the Indian title would soon be
extinguished. Settlers accordingly poured in,
lands were taken up on pre-emption, farms
made, houses built, and Bourbon county pres
ently gave an indication of the character of the
emigration by a large Republican vote at the
elections. This was not the result contempla
ted or hoped for by the Government, and one
of those bigb-handed measures, of which there
are so many in the history of Kansas, was re
sorted to, to drive these people out. A new
survey was made, and the Indian boundary was
extended eignt miles northward, and the in
habitants, numbering more than fifteen hun
dred, ' were ordered to quit the Territory.
Trusting that redress would come with delay,
they lingered until the notice tor the land-sale
of the New York Reservation was issued
With this came a new order, for the people of
ma cigiii-imit; atrip, on wnicn iney nad settled
in accordance with the boundaries of the first
survey, to abandon their homes and improve
nients ;. and aa they still lingered, roluctant to
give up the fruits of three years' toil, expend

ernment, the Indian Agent, with fifty dragoons
at his back, invaded the settlement, with his

threw their household goods out of doors, and

Tue Palmetto Cockade. This distinctive
badge of the fire-eaters ot South Carolina, ts
thus di8cribed It is about threa inches in
diameter, a blue rosette surrounded with slips
of tho Palmetto form the centre, and the
lower part of the circle encloses a veritable
brace of twelve rattles of the rattlesnake.
The motto is, " When I make a noise, I strike
Death rather than dishonor." The button
fastening the cockade has upon it the repre
sentation of a Palmetto tree, with the motto,
"Animis assibusque parati." If they can
find rattlesnakes enough to furnish cockades
for all hands, South Carolina must be rather a
bleasent country to live in.

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1801 PROSPEC
TUS. The XXth Vo'ume of the Weekly Tri
bune commenced with the issue of Sept. 1. Dur
ing the past year The Tribune has been obliged to
devote quite a large proportion of its space to pol
itics, but we shall soon be able to forego Political
discussions almost entirely, for months if not for
years, and devote nearly all our columns -to sub
jects of less intense, but more abiding, interest. A
mong these, we mean to pay especial attention tt
I. Edccatios. 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 the pro
foundest thinkers and the ablest instructors in our
country. It is at once our hope and our resolvs
that the cause of Educution shall receive an im
petus from the exertions of The Tribune in its bo
half during the year 1861.
II. Agricultcbb. We have been compelled to
restrict our elucidations of this great interest
throughout I80.and shall endeavor to atone there
for in 1861. Whatever discovery, deduction, de
monstration, is calculated to render the reward of
labor devoted to cultivation more ample or mors
certain, shall receive prompt and full attention.
III. MANcrACTmics, Ac. We hail eery in
vention or enterpriso whereby American Capital
and Labor are attracted to and advantageous!;
employed in any department of Manufacturing or
Mechanical Industry as a real contribution to the
Tublic Weal, insuring ampler, steadier, more con
venient, morn remunerating markets to the Farm
er, with fuller employment and better w;gf to
the Laborer. The progress of Mining, IronMa
king, Steel-Making, Cloth-Weaving, Ac, ii our
country and the world, shall be watched and repor
ted by us with an earnest and active sympathy.
IV. 1'oreigx Affairs. We employ the best cor
respondents iu London. Paris, Turin, Berlin, aril
other European Capitols, to transmit us early and
accurate advices of the great changes there silent
ly but certainly preparing. In spite of the pres
sure of Domestic Politics, our Newt from the Old
World is now varied and ample ; but we thall
have to render it more perfect during the een:
ful year just before us.
V. Home News. We employ regular paid cor
respondents in California, at the Isthmus of Ia
rien, in the Rocky Mount in gold region, or wher
ever else they seem requisite. From the more ac
cessible portions of our own country, we derive
our information mainly from the multifarious cor
respondents of the Associated Press, from our ex
changes, and the occasional letters of intelligent
friends. We aim to print the cheapest general
newspaper, with the fullest and most authentic
summary of useful iutetligence. that is anywhere
afforded. - Unpin- to "make each day a critic on
the last' and print a better and better paper from
year to year, as cur means are steadily enlarged
through the gonerous co-operation of our many
well-wishers, we solicit, and shall labor to da
serve, a continuance of public favor.
