MONDAY MORNING, 171 T. 17, WA
Extraordinary Re-action.
The surest evidence that the people of
sett Euglund are coining to realize the pres
eat, dangers that threaten us, is found in
the results of the recent elections in that
section. Towns and cities that were large
ly Republican for Lincoln-,,have within one
abort month reversed their opinions, and
declared in favor of conservatism and anti-
Republican candidates. But in no place
is so remarkable a re-action _manifested as
in the city of Boston. With4but employing
the figures of the Presidential election, we
will simply compare the vote of Monday
with the returns of the municipal election
last year. Then it stood as follows: •
Lincoln (Rep.) - - - - 5,958
Wightman Dem.) - - 4,830
Palmer (Citiseu4)
Lincoln over the Democratic candidate 1.128
Lincoln overbut4 conservative • 483
On Monday the votestood
Wightman (Union)
3Limball (Rep.)
Union majority - - - 3,087
This is a net gain of 3,500 in the conser
vative rote !
Ur. Wightman, the successful candidate,
threw open his house, and was visited du
ring the evening by thousands of Democrats
and Whigs and heartily congratulated; after
which, speeches were made, and a determin
ation expressed to go on and redeem the
State, until the present United States see-
Lionel Senators and mambers of the House
are succeeded by sound, national men. All
the union aldermen elect also threw open
their houses Aoki received their friends.
The scene of oicing and festivity was
kept up throughout the city to Is late_hour
of fhe night.
In Roxbury there was similar rejoicing,
Mr. Gaston,. the union candidate, haiing
been elected over a republican.
Better asd Better.—We learn from the Bos
ton papers that in sir of the seven munici
pal elections held in Massachusetts on Mon
day last, tits republican' were defeated. In
Charleston the anti-republican ticket had
603 plurality ; in Roxbury. 200 ; in Worms

buryport, 443. Total majorities in fire cit

A State Convention, called to consider
the dangers which now threaten the Union.
assembled at Trenton, New Jersey, on Meg
day. The attendance was large and enthu
siastic.
Col. Wm. C. Alexander was chosen presi
dent. Commodore Stockton, chairman of
the committee to prepare an address to the
people, presented an address with resolu
tions, both of which were adopted amid
much enthusiasm.
The address declares that the North has
committed greai wrongs, and must retrace
her steps by the repeal of all laws prevent
ing the execution of the fugitive slave law,
and allowing the citizens of the Southern
States to travel North with4heir property.
The resolutions say that "all the South
oaks is the acknowledgment of her clear
constitutional rights. She looks not for in
demnity for the past, but security for the
future.
The following committee was appointed
to consult and advise with other States :

The Reptiblieetta ascribe the Enflamed
suite of Cooking at the South to the misrep
resentations of the alma and- purposes of
the Repub!loan party by the Democrats of
the North. They allege, remarks the Pe.
trio( and Union, that. the South his derived
distorted and exaggerated notions of the
designs of the Republican party, through
the agency of the Democratic party ; and
that consequently the Dcznocrats are re
sponsible for the secession feeling kindled
and funned into a consuming fire by means
of this system of deception. This feeble
iatenipt at recrimination hill not enable
the Republieurui to shift the responsibility
for the impending dissolution of the Union
from their own shoulders. The - Southern
people derived their impressions as to the
purposes of thipepublican party, not from
the representslebns of Democrats, but di
' rectly from the speeches of the leaders of
that, party, and from the tone of the presses
high in its confidence. They reed the pule
lic addresses of Seward, of Sumner, of Gid
dings, of Lovejoy, and other recognized cap
tains of the advancing host of Republieane
and ascertained directly from them what
were the principles of the party they mar
shelled. The worst things that the Demo-'
crate of the North said against the Republi- ;
can party were furnished by the public
declarations of their acknowledged leaders. ;
It was not the duty of Democrats to palliate
or gloss over the ultraisms of the Republi
can leaders, or to undertake the task of ex
plaining Mr. Seward's "irrepressible con
flict," and Sumner's poisoned rat simile, as
mere figures of rhetoric which really meant
no hostility to the institutions of the South.
But it was the duty of Democrats to show
how such insane and wicked violence would
imperil the existence of the Union ; and if
by doingso the sentiment of resistance to
Republi&n aggression was deepened and
strengthened among the Southern people,
whose fault was it? That of the men and
the party who fulminated their anathemas
against the South, or that of the men and
the party whci denounced such violence,
and besought the people not to doom the
country to certain destruction by entrusting
these mad sectionalists with the 'direction
and oimtrol of the Government ?
• We fling back the charge of deception in
to the teeth of the Republican party. We
charge them with the guilt of distracting
this confederacy. If their purposes were
constitutional and oenserrative, and-it was
slanderous to su?cuse them of Abolitionism,
then they were guilty of promoting, exciting
and inflaming hostility to the South—
warming into life every grade of anti-els
very radicalism for no higher or deeper pur
pose than to secure a party triumph with
the spoils of office---encouraging men whose
affections should comprehend the whole'
country, to hate and despise the South—all
for nothing more enduring and exalted than
a brief repast at the public flesh pots. And
now that the South has taken them at their
word, by accepting the declarations of their
acknowledged leaders as the true exposi
tion of the purposes of the Republican par
ty. they say that it is a sad mistake for the
South to believe that they meant what was
said.,;- The devil is not as black as he is
painted. The Republican party is not eon
servative, constitutionaL•national ; and they
rave and cry out "deception" because the
South believe that Republicanism is the
hostile aggressive thing that its recognized
expositors have represented it to be.
Yes—there has been deception, gross,
damaging deception, practiced upon the
people of Penroplrania. The Republican
leaders never allowed their party to see the
true issue. They prattled about Tariffs and
HomllsSeeds and retrenchment. and cover
ered over the mouth of the yawning gulf.
When Democrats told the people that the
issue was Union or Disunion—that the elec
tion of Lincoln by a sectional party would
precipitate the calamity which has threat
ened this country ever since Abolitionism
has gained a footing in the North, they
laughed in derision. This Union could not
be dissolved, said they. The election of
Lincoln would cement and make it more
enduring. Disunion was a Democratic bug
bear to frighten the people from exercising
their free choice. There was not the slight
est danger. The trouble would all blow
over in a few weeks after the election, and
then the good times would come—Tariff,
Homestead, freedom and a universal jubi-
I l e e. The people were blinded and deceiv
ed by such a&ersnces ea these. They did
not believe in the reality of danger; they
did not think that there was lightning in
the cloud above them, and that it could de
cend to shiver and blast their dearest in
terests. The majority of the citizens of
Pennsylvania voted for Lincoln under the
false impression that his election would not
endanger the Union ; and this false im
pression was produced and encouraged by
the Republican party. Had the people
seen the true issue *a they now see it, Lin
coln would not have received the vote of
this State. They were deceived, cheated,
betnayed. And now the guilty authors of
1 this fraud, who should hide their faces in
shame, have the brazen impudence to re
sort to recrimination by charging the Dem
i ocratic party with producing the excite
ment at the South. They cannot escape the
,; fearful responsibility of their criminal pro
! eeedings by "teeing it through," but must
ever stand accountable to an outraged people
' i for the disasters that hare overtaken thi•
once peaceful, prosperous and happy Union.

Why Republicans Want Negroes Free.
The Monmouth _Rains tells why the Re
publicans want negrocs free. It is not for
the - benefit of the negro, but far the reduc
tion of the poor white man's wages. The
above named paper says : "A somewhat
prominent and very fanatical Republican,
living not over fifty miles northeast of Mon
mouth, in old Warren, says he longs for the
election of Lincoln, for then, remarked he,
the, sitgers will be set free, and Illinois Will
filled with them e and we can get
triousijisiaprk for fifty dollars a year, instead
efilhaving to pay such enormous prices to
common farm hands. All this freedom-lov
in,g.Republican wants, then, is to have North
ern Illinois drugged with niggers, so that he
can work their soul cases out at SW a year,
instead of paying honest_ clay laborers a fair
reuumeration for their toil. Consistent Itse

Where will 13ecessicrn End?
The Harrill/tug Patriot 11, Union says
—Many persons suppose that in the event
of the States of South Carolina. Georgia,
Alabama, Florida and Mitadasippi seceding
from the Union, (the five Atator that now
appear determined to take the (dal plunge.)
that the Government may move along hi its
wonted course, and that Virginia,Maryland,
Kentucky and Tennessee, the border States,
will remain attached to the Union as here
tofore. But this hope is fallacious. - Inter
est will inevitalsly draw all the border States
with the Cotton States. The same concee.
sicms that would he necessary to attach the
border States to the North and secure the
protection of their constitutional rights,
would prevent the cotton States from going
out of the Union; and if the North will not
take the proper steps to prevent dissolution
before the process of dismemberment begins,
it in not likely it will take such steps after
five States have seceded, to save the border
States and prevent total disintegration.
The probability that the secession of the
five cotton States will result in the se
cession of all the,Southern States, is pre
sented with. a
much force in the following ex
tract from letter of - Independent," in the
Korth Atherican:
Unless some mode of extrication be found
and that speedily, the secession of South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Florida may be considered nearly certain.— I
How far the infection of that example may
extend afterwards, cannot now be foreseen,
hut the prospect is saddening to contem
plate, even when partially cheered by the
glimmering hope that this separation will
ultimately result in a reunion of the old ties
strengthened and revivedin its attachments
by the temporary estrangement. When we
reflect uton the sympathies, kindred and
couimurnty of interests existing between
the border and the cotton States, and see
the temptation of a common cause and fate
held out to the former, in the visions of am
bition, power and direction in the new con
federacy, resulting fron:k their numerical
strength, it is difficult to comprehend why,
in such a contingency, they should seek afls
- with the section where they would be
in a hopeless minority, rather than with that
where, by concert, they might hold absolute
, control. The laws of natural gravitation
would lead them to a southern, and not a
northern Union. This is the belief of all
their sagacious men. and it is precisely the
reason why the leaders in South Carolina
have repulsed any overtnree from Virginia
and the border States. They aim at a cotton
eonfedelacy, in which the Rhetta and such
like shall be the depositories of power,—
Hence, in the view suggested, any secession
new, be itsmall or large, must be encom
, passed with momentous hazards, and once
began, human agency cannot lift the veil of
the future.

never opened before in Gettysburg. In k
laying in his stock 'Mr. M. kept in view the
peculiar aspect of the times, and purchased
not only with a view to beauty and durabili
ty but also to cheapness. Persons, there-1
fore, wishing to make presents to their
children or friends, will purchase at such
a store as fully comes up to the exigency of t,

j$ Black Republican journals charge
Democratic papers with sympathising with
section, because they keep their readers
informed of what is actually going on in the
South. Reptblicnin journals, on the con
trary. have become so alarmed at the result
of their own doings, that they dare not give
a true history of the times.
Laat week we furnished our readers with
the last annual Message of 'resident Buch
anan, and by this time, we presume, all have
expressed opinions on it. We regard it the
ablest State paper that ever emanated from
any American Executive. and, we doubt not
it will besoregarded by the future historian.
The Message has been read,we feel satisfied,
with more than usual interest- particularly
that portion which has reference to the dif
ficulties between the North and the South.
Mr. Buchanan has plowed through a logg
life of active experience, has filled
measure of his ambition, and will soon retire
to private life. Thr,e facts give force to his
but Message to Congress, wherein he refer;
to the long oppressive policy of the
towards the South. and to the suggest
which he makes to re.tore harmony. s,
As all expected, the Message is assailed
by Northern fanatics who desire the disrup
tion of the Union. and who seek to embroil
the country in the strife of civil war, as well
as by the extremists of the South, who have
determined to establish a goverment of their
own; but it is heartily endorsed by all con
servative, Union Well.
Those who expected to enrage Mr. Buch
anan in a war, for the benefit of free negroes
at the North, against the Southern white
man, are the loudest in their denunciations
now that they find they mubt fight their own
battles.
For four years they have heaped abuse,
contumely, and falsehood upon Mr. Buch
anan, caring not for the consequences, un
til they have hmught the Union to the very
verge of destruction ; and now, in all kind
ness and charity to his uncompmmising en
emies. Mr. Buchanan is perfectly willing
that they and their Rail Splitter shall have
all the credit of fencing to the Union on
more pacific terms. They ought to be sat
idled ; but they are fearful of the respensi
tic, and well they may be.—Cariale l'o', deer.
fir The Black Republican papers are bu
sy estimating what ••we" have paid for the
Louisiana, Florida, Texas and California pur
ehases. Who is " t.l " ? The agricultural
States, of which the South is the largest part,
have paid nio.st in custom duties upon arti
cles of consumption. The settlers in these
territories Lave paid for the lauds by the
mere! The whole cost is extinguished, and
for every dollar paid the North has received
at least a hundred fold. The "home mark - et"
of ten millions of consumers at the South
who pay tribute to northern commerce and
ma.uulictures under *system of commer
cial, restriction and protection will be appre
ciated when lost to us. Then how vast die
disproportion of expenditures at the North
and the South for internal improvements?
Take also the question of fishing bounties.
See what has been paid and who has got it!

amount they have received directly out of
the Federal Treasury for this purpose:

What Lincoln Bays About it;
It seems that Lincoln admits the right of
a State to secede. One of his organs=
$o one now questions the rigAt of
sion ; men only differ as to the °apathetic',
of it. Even M.r. Lincoln himself says
South Carolina desires to secede, lithergo.' "
We have never had any doubt oflineota's
position. He refuses to say whether he,is
in favor of disunion or not, but lie doesn't
hesitate to say that if a State "desires to pa
cede, let her go." Lincoln says "this
ernment can't endure part free and
slave," and that's precisely what South r
eline says. Lincoln says it, and South Car
olina is trying( to prove dud what Lincoln
says is true. 'Which is the most to blame--
