Two weeks previous to the election we
wrote and - publiehed an article depicting
the dangers which threatened the peace of
the Union in the event of Ltscour's elec
tion. Meeting a valued Republican friend
a few days after, he half jokingly, halt stir.
iou-dy remarked that we must have had
an easel.; of indige4tion, or something kin
dred to it when we wrote ' article ; but
now how stands the case. iwo weeks have
hardly passed, and we I fill our paper
twine over with rumo. : n.ts, comments
and speculations upon affairs at the South,
all growing out of the. election of Lincoln,
and all going to show that secession and revo
lution =st take place at no distant day.
Excitement "runs riot" from the Maryland
line to the Gulf of Mexico ; South Caroli
na is preparing her "duds" to leave the
Union at a moment's warning Georgia
has her knapsack slung ; Alabama, Flori
da, Texas, Missi*ppi, and the lord knows
how many more, are enquiring anxiously
for State rooms in the same boat. As the
New York New mostArply says, the great
difficulty with ut at the pnorth is to believe
that any State at the SOuth can honestly
and seriously mean secession when she
,
threatens it. Wei.see South Carolina on
the very brink of bidding us a final - adieu,
and we smile and shake oui heads, declar
ing she doesn't Mean it ; she is only try
ing to frighten us into the offer of some
concession ; it is but a lover's trick, that
ends, before the door closes, in affection
ate protestations and a return to warmer
embraces than before. These things we
say in our self conceit and complacency,
because we have never been driven by 1160-
tionalidggression into 4 state of unthink
ing, reckless desperation : because, being
vainglorious in our security, we can stop
ito talk of reason and remonstrance, calcu
liting the profit and loss of Union, and im
agining that quiet prosperity is compensa
tion enough' to warrant, interminable for
bearance and never ceasing tubmissiOn.—
But let us change places. Suppose the
South had chosen Mr. Yancey,.whose avow
ed creed was the blessing of slavery ; the
belief that it wag the greatost boon that
could be extended to every part of the
country ; the resolve to so extend it by
every means in his power. Suppose him
elected, with all ( the prospective prestige
of Pcrsielential authority to aid in this ex
tension, from the) moment he should be in
sqgurated. ' What would New York with
its forty thotisand railaplitting majority say
then 1 What should we confidently ex
-1.,t from Massachusetts? Imagine the as
ton6hment and terror ()our Republican
friends when they realiz ed the possibility
of the eloquent Yanoey's theories being
, arrie.l into effect. Would not horrible
-peelers of Sarobo in shackles surround
their couches? Could we have repose in
the day fur their lamentations over the
rowing establiSliment of the dhlaboose be
---nestli their very noses? Dos any one in
g i l l
'hi. senses fan that, they would peaceably
lie down and the dark wave roll over
them 1 Why e big Tribune, and all the
little Tribeeses-,Nrould Soon be so full of gun
powder as to render them unsafe for fire
lighting. lieeetter would turn his pulpit
iuto an arsenal from which to distribute
Sharpe's rifles. Every Wide Awake that
could shoulder a musket would help to
form the nucleus of an army to resist whet
would be called invasion. Ten to one but
instead of gracefully withdrawing from the
Union. because there was something in it
they didn't like, they would try to drive
the South out for differing with them.—
'there is nut a sincere Republican who will
not admit this; .who cannot fully reelluie
the parox) sin of rage and resentment that
would convulse the North, if the South
were to place them in the position they
have placed the South by Lincoln's elec
tion ; n:td, realizing it, tie inu4t credit Car
olina, tie.orgia and Alsbeir.fi at this mo
ment,' eith honorable •,-rity and oon
scieutious resolve, in t ei, eildeavoni toe.-
cede, If they do not un : they should
be Induced to wait till ‘ne cool regection
\ re can give safe play to, comes to them, it
will be only because they are more gener
ous, more simple hearted than we are ; be
eause the impulsive nature that has led
them to their present isolated position of
chivalrous self-assertion (a position that,
under similar surrounding pressure, New
England would soon recede from)may also
lead them to eventually saorafioe their own
feelings to the National welfare. We ar
dently hope that this may be the case. We
cruet, when the first fever of excitement
has abated, that the conservative element
—always sluggish and inert—may tir found
tolpreponderate. Bat it is no use trying to
persuade ourselves into the certainty that
it will. There is no qusstion but that the
Palmetto State has hetfluggage in the lob
by and the door handle of the Union in her
hand. She has good cause she thinks for
separation and divorce ; and, if we, who
have done her injury, are too proud, or
. have noflove enough for her, to malt* her
swab promises and give her mach guarsa-
tees as will induce her, if not to relent, st
least to stay with us for the sake of avoid
ing scandal, we do hot see how the catas
trophe is to be avoided.

It is shout time this sort of political de
ception should end. Whether Birely was,
or was not a "Breekenridge Democrat,"
the paper quoted knows probably as little
as arep journal in the country. The facts,
at all events, are against the supposition
that he was. Lannon, the member elect,
is a Douglas man ; on the morning after
the election, A. selected Brody as his friend
in the meeting of the return judges, and
asked him to see that he was not cheated
out of hie election, as he had heard rumors
that an effort would be,made by the Re
publicans to do so. He little thought the
man he had selected was the very one who
was to do the cheating for the benefit of
the Republican party ; nor is it at all can
did, now that he has been convicted, for
Republican journals to endeavor to impress
upon their readers the idea that their par
ty is blameless in• the transaction, when

perpetrated, is • Republican, and altho'
it has been it:Weirdly • determined that he

B ar There area ter* bright spots, here and
there, to cheer the eyes of Democrats, amid
the thick darkness of their almost total defeat.
Among these, are the detest of Anson Burlin
game, of Massachusetts, one of the extremest
of all the extreme Republicans in the present
Congress ;nar k, of Mr. Speaker Pennington, of
New Jersey, • head and fraiit of the present
Rouse, whose election oast eincli airrotracted
and desperati struggle last winter. Burling
game, it will be remembered, is the author of
the impidus and treasonable declaration : "The
times demand an anti-slavery Constitution, an
anti-slavery Mble, and an anti-slavery God."
Re was so confident of his election that he
wandered off into this State to make stump
speeches for Curtin. He returned to his own
district, too late to save himself. Col. Curtin
very magnanimously made a pilgrimage to
Boston, 'where hi spoke in behalf of Burlin
game ; but it would not do. The fighting man
of the Republican party could not fight his own
way through. He was beaten by William Ap
pleton, the Union candidate, by 267 majority.

Bir Such of our reallers as see the This
Ameriast will find in i this week an ac
count of a "horrible oultrage," perpetrated
upon a poor Mr. LewisfTappan and sundry
other Abolitionists, by that terrible man
Marshal Rynders of New York, just previ
ous to the election. The cols was careful
ly nursed by the complainatts for several
days prior to the election, in hopes, doubt
less, of making a little political capital, but
-the other day, there being no farther use
for a broken head its politics, when it was
called up in Court, Mr. Tappan's counsel
backed square out of the prosecution and
asked that if might be dismissed. How
fearfully Mr. Tappan must have been pum
meled, and how lacerated must have been
his feelings thus to sneak out of the pros
ecution of a complaint to which he had
sworn with such pathetic and harrowing
minuteness Famous man, that Tappan I

from one of oar exchanges to our delinquent
patrons. We desire, also, that they shall take
it in earns*, not as a joke, for it means every'

cleaned out by the Republicans we feel as
though we should Hite to have a little cash to
pay our expenses up sal river, and we want
those indebted to Lb', Oburrer in any way to
oome up to the scratch, and "fork over." But,
here is the model dins---listen :

then to him we say, step inside—consider

that we care aeagle, ourselves, Out our

Wm. Geccge Brown, the Reform Mayor,
was inahgurated to-day. He closed his in
augural address with strong expressions of
Union sentiments. Reexpressed the unan
imous consent of the people of Baltimore,
the largest of all Southern cities, when he
said that the true policy of Maryland was
to adhere to the Union, so long as she could
do so with honor and safety.
In conclusion he said, no cause has yet
arisen sufficient to justify the overthrow of
the noblest and most beneficial govern
ment ever established b human wisdom ;
and which is consecrate d and endeared to
the hearts of all, not only by the abundant
blessings of the present moment, but by
the sacred memorials of the past, and the
great hopes of the futuree The expedien

sustain the Union, .is much discussed by
our business men.

—J. D. Torry, a minister of long standing
in the Oneida M. B. Conferenoe, has brought
disgrace upon himself and discredit upon his
denomination. Charges made against him that
he has used the church when he officiated as a

that he has been suspended from all

We invite attention to the following strik

small portable engines could be so constructed
as to explode gradually, • large number of val

The first man who discovered gold in Cal-

Sacramento as long ago as ins. On a second
expedition to the gold fields, the following year,
the enterprising pioneer was ,killed by the In

That wan the coign of attraction, and the
whole country Sorted. there as it would now
to the Public Square an a similar occasion
But the "sign of progress" he says is found in
the fact that after thirty-three years effort of
the people living in that vicinity, they have
succeeded in sectoring the aide walk paved on
oni side et Third street from State to Pesch ;
sad he thinks with thirty-three years more ef
fort they may succeed in getting the other side
paved--providing the traiou is-not dissolved

RAIL ROAD ACCIDILXT to A Foo.—A collision
occurred un the S. h. E. R. It on Thursday
morning, between the mail and niccomodation
trains, owing to the prevalence of a dense fog
on the Leßceuff swamp west of Waterford sta
tion. The latter train _was feeling its way at
four to five miles an hour, the former at about
ten. No one hurt except a alight bruise to one
lady in the train going east. None of the
care were knocked from the track, and but
two wheels on each engine truck. The dam
ages were but slight—not exceeding s2l7..—af
ter a loss of a couple of hour. each engine pro
ceeded with its own train.
We do not learn that any person was spe
cially in fault. Had there been no fog it
could not possibly have occurred. The ac
cident happened on one of the longest straight
lines on the whole road ; but so dense was the
fog that it was impossible to see a i.stanoe of
three hundred feet.
There should be a telegraph line on this
road at once. Considerations of public safety,
