Let us he care j fnl, therefore, not to foster division, !>y eliarae- j terizing as timidity, or insensibility to wrong, ' or lack of fidelity to State Lights, or to the ' lionor or interests of the South, the reluctance j which men feel to turn their hacks at once, j , with cheerfulness and rejoicing, upon the " glorious past and the bright future of ununited | people. J?ut rather let us, in the full realization , of the sacrifice which we arc required to make j of a mighty Confederacy, of which any people !. m that ever lived might justly he proud, and | which challenges the admiration ol the world, j , show forbearance to those who, still hoping 1 against hope, reluctantly \ield to mine iiceessi- (( ty. Union among ourselves?unanimity of' j opinion and determination, is of paramount importance, and every effort .should bo made to J' encourage and establish it. Let us not suspect, ! (1 but have confidence in the patriotism of ea- h , other. For myself, I am free to declare that! x the election of Lincoln (about which I enter- j j tain no douht) ought to be regarded as an j s art of determined hustiti'y ; and I regard it, also, as immediate-:y threnteuini/ lite pence ami i V *'fe>!) of the South. As such, we should not I wait till we experience the first or least of its ' , j>ernicious consequences; but, foreseeing them, j put ourselves, at once, in the attitude of iude- j jiendetice, and thus escape, or he prepared to ! , defend ourselves against them. It may i>e that . conflict and bloodshed will ensue. J>ut the x South has nothing to fear. The Cioveruuicni ;i soldiery (the main reliance of the fauatn s," ami j with which they threaten us) are but a handful "v in comparison to the force which any single 1 ( State can throw into the field. Those troops ( will speedily .melt away. llecruits are not easily obtained, especially in such a war. A j; call tor volunteers will be made. Who wi.l i rcsooud to it? The Eastern Suites? So louir . ? as the hired soldiery of the Government can be ! { mscd, these States would, doubtless, support and ( mrge the coercion of the S >uth. lint when they J arc required to undertake the task themselves, i ( their modern history greatly belies them if they < do-not display mi invincible repugnance to ^ -v dangers and sacrifices which do not pay Gutter t than battles. lie-cent experience lias shown how* tardily the work of volunteering for war $ progresses in those States. From the North. (j oven, less js to be apprehended, 'i'heir great ^ k interests are bound up in peace. Their tanati- j, fifo cisui takes the cheap direction of a show ot hands or the mustering of votes; and with these they have triumphed over right, the law, decency and the teachings of Scripture. Jim it c has nowhere, and at no time, imp.-ii d the p<opic to indulge in any iutenscr exmtunicui ... more alarming display than the hypucnt cal and vociferous routings of self-sty leu moral ] crusaders. And the .Northwest occupies no | other or higher position. Kacli of these three v sections can, at most, draw from its redundant H and refuse population, a few hired regiments of 0 .outlaws, rowdies and adventurers?(and each H would be glad of the chance to get fid ofthein) ?but that thr jjeople of either one of these sections ever expect or can be mane to eiieoun- > tcr the horrors of war, either to prevent the g r exercise of a disputed political right by the people of the South (a right which has been, t1 over and over, affirmed in their midst by their f, ablest men,) or to enforce their particular notidns of religious obligation upon us?is in- f' ' conceivable upon any other supposition than 1 that thcf arc to be judged bv rales which <1 istinguish them f/oni the rest of the white race in this or any other country.

Kced, of l'hihulelphia,-delivered a speech on tlie 3d iu3t., from \vhicn ' we extract as follows : ' lint grave objections to Mr. Lincoln htjvc been revealed since liis nomination, to which? without personal disparagement, I beg leave to call your attention. Since the Convention at Chicago, Mr. Lincoln, with one exception, has maintained a resolute and prudent silence. The discussion with Judge Douglas in their canvass, * -V i ? * i... r 1 was cunracicrizcu on ms j?an, uv imiiMiv>a??u ability, and in the presence of a wary antagonist, ready to take advantage of any indiscretion, by moderation. Little more than a year ago he wrote^a letter, in which he was betrayed into /language, which, though not very precise, and n little ambitions,' was ominous. It was this: "This*is a world of compensations, and he who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to 0111011=, deserve it not themselves, and under a just God, cannot long retain it." It is not easy to say what this means, hut it has an ugly look. Since i his nomination, .Mr. Lincoln has spoken once, i and once too often. I refer to his speech at j Springfield, abojit four weeks ago, which was the more, significant, as he appears to have hewi taken by surprise, and to' have spoken' .qu? under an impulse, his inner thoughts. "There is, I believe, a religious secftalh'd "Progressive Friends;" so, in politics, there ore-proj i/reffi'i- Republicans, ai.d to this class it would j seem .Mr. Lincoln belongs.-I infer this from his j speech, which either means this, or means | not hi ng. His language. w;is: "Mv friends, you \yill fight for this cause, four years hence, as you noW fight for it, aid ercu xlrot-prr iha? i/oti ni>w ji.ht Jar ?/, though I may he dead and gone." Mow, in all eapdor, I ask, what does this mean 1-?what do(;i^)j^2jLiii<-oln*mcun by an adjourned or in>iiflj|B?yoiifliet, by his "stronger tight" 11 crcnfrcpPT)oes it mean there is to be no repose, no seiltlcnient, no finality, ti.11 w ndiiiiidstrat.iiin ? The 'itf'rht" is to CO ! oil? nay, it is lo'he "stmiger"'then than now. | Not content with the victory of a compact ! North over the stricken and insulted South, j the arms arc not to be laid a-ide,?the array : is not to he broken,?the entrenched camp is : not to he dismantled,?pence all 1 conciliation are not even hinted at. Domestic slavery, | driven by a triumphant executive and congressional majority, from the Territories, is to be J beleaguered in the States. It is to exist My sufferance, it is to be destroyed by compression, and the varnished, plausible and (IccepMve, Republicanism el 18U0 is !c> become the aggressive AUiIuioiiism of 1804. So says Mr. Lincoln, if his language has any meaning. Nay, I n ther, 1 hold in my hand a hook puhj lislied in New York, and called the "Republican Campaign I land-book," an authoritative exposition of doctrines, north of a certain parallel, and 1 find its moral to he in so many words, that Lincoln's election is hut a step in the inarch ot "progressive huniq.ity," leading to the grain! triumph of emancipation evenwhen. its language is : "The people of those States where liberty is j not stifle." by cowardly'and brutal force, have | it in their power to insure political reform," and save the grand expanse of territory, of over one thousand million of acres in the West, from the - .t .. .i wreck .nid siiauiuol j^avcrv. 1 nis imcjac.-iu uu ; i /ngfllie;1 IfpwifcV! niTTi' "(^PprlviicWes; \md ?>v so restricting tlie evil, i tin J skiving full her land from its devastations, j | Of >i will Int./ iht ten/ to yet hi'jluir ucliieeciitcitlx. Other nations beckon lis on; England, her House of Lords roused by the ineincrable looie and eloquence of a Brougham, struck the chains off aii her slaves, and each rising and setting sun does homage to the majesty of the achievement, over the hills and vales of her happy islands. Kussin, with twenty million serfs, is, at the flat of her best Emperor, about to touch tlieiu with the Itheriel spear of emancipation, so that their iuoral nature may reach the skies. Shall we, then, with such glorious examples of the good, the generous, and the right, retroact, absolve ourselves irotn our gallant past, cut off our brilliant future,and he stifled in essentia! barbarism I In this epoch, when science flies on the wings of love, can we sanction the wor- J ship of Imte and cruelty ?

There is no middle course. We must t-illier have the black ilag of slavery, or oiiu scintillating with freedom, to symbolize our lioinc ami country. Our irreversible word, then, should l?c for Liberty?circling our lakes ami sciis; traversing our mountains ami (onirics; covering our cities ami villages; going forth in many ships over ninny waters; liberty for the poor, the exiled, ami the oppressed; liberty of sense inn' soul, of thought ami speech, of aspiration ' ami action." E3o(Ui<*;il ftVophcti/Jlltf. l'l admit, however?ami that is what I wish* i oil to say,?that the South will be a unit after j Mr. Lincoln's election; and further, it is my belief that the more moderate counsels of her wise and prudent men will not then prevail." So states the W ashington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce. The war now raging between the North and South is a war of suctions composed of civilizations utterly and essentially distinct and different. The professed object ot all parties at the South j is the defense of the rights of the States ami of j slavery. The soul ami only inspiring principle : of the Jllnck Republicans is opposition to ami j | hatied of slavery, and the desire and dctcrmi- I j nation finally to extinguish it. It is the settled j : belief ol the opponents of slavery, if Mr.Scwanl may be considered their representative mall, i that Lincoln's election will he but the initiation of this policy. Such is also the opinion of a | | majority at the South. If that event takes j place as is most probable, the prediction of the j Journal of < on.ineroe's correspondent will he j verified. As an earnest of the sincerity of the I South to submit no longer to Northern aggress- j ion in that event, we may refer to I he secessions i tiom iIn- i residential Convention at Charles-j ton which occasioned astonishment both North and South. There one State took the lead and her sistci States followed. Such will be i i it" i .i in-. >1 n lie elected. If South Cam linn, Alabama, Ueorgia, or any single South-j eni Statu withdraws, others will he compelled ! to follow. So the action of one Stato will tiring I about the policy of the co-operation party of j South Carolina and other States South.

The Richmond Enquirer publishes the foli lowing letter from Lvtlloton Tyler, JCs<j., one of the assistant Electors chosen from J'rincc William county, Vu., ami says it is "happy to i be informed that this is only one of the many instances in which Southern men have been . driven off from Mr. Douglas' support, by the > tone of overbearing insolence which lie h;^ as[ sinned, and the blue light Federal doctrines to., which he seems to have become a sudden convert." The letter of Mr. Tyler lends a support to the 1'rutcst of the Southern men, lately is sued from the Virginia Springs, and which will find an echo in every part of the Southern country. Here is the letter referred to : To the Editorx of the Enquirer : Woodlawx, I'rince William Co., Ya., j September l:i, 18G0. j Gentle men : ?Do me the favor to state in your paper that J respectfully decline the position of Assistant Elector for the county of I'rince William, assigned mo bv the Staunton Convention. I was a political friend of Mr. Douglas, until his recent speech in Norfolk removed the "scales from my eyes," and I beheld him, whom 1 considered the friend of the South, re-acting the part of Van lhiren in* 1848, assisting the Whigs and Know-Nothings to defeat the Democrats in Virginia, holding that the South may ri<! hi full'/ be excluded from the public lands, and that she shall be compelled by force to submit, and denouncing Southern men whose only crime is their zeal in behalf of Southern rights and honor. Such sentiments merit the severest rebuke from every being who loves the South. . I A'TIL ETON TYLER. Good Cause tor Desertion. The threats of coercion which Douglas so wantonly flung in llic faces of Southern men 'upon Southern soil, are having l heir natural effect. upon some of those at the South, who have heretofore supported him, hut whose attachment to their section, her rights ami her interests, is stronger than anv party aflifiation. It has hccu already noticed that Senator (Jlingmaii lias come out h>r Breckinridge and j Lane. At*a recent discussion lie gave his reason for doing so?a reason that should operate upon every .Southern .supporter of the submission Coercion ist. The Wilmington (X. C.,1 'Ju-niutl, in noticing a recent discussion, says : "The nest speaker introduced was Hon. 'J'. L. Clingiuan, who fully endorsed every word that M r. Brown had uttered, ami every position he had taken. He avowed himself clearly and unequivocally for Breckinridge and Lane." In reply to Duncan McRae, Ksq., the Senator said : He had always respected Judge Douglas, hut his recent menaces to the South, in his Xorfolk and Raleigh speeches, convince him that Mr. Douglas is no-.v a desperate political gambler. Those who now went for Mr. Donglas would find out their mistake. II.e had no doubt Mr. MeRae would come all right. / Mr. McRae. interposing, said he had onlv -LU-ii IL.,.r -,n * tiimVic^wSio vva.-, a 1 Douglas had not then voluntarily otfere?l his services to whip In Southern States in the interests of Alio Lincoln.

In two hours afterwards lie had so far recovered as to he able to resume his work. 1 knew an old negro who cured a boy that had been bitten by a mad-dog, by the same appiica- , tion.

The clerk, j ! supposing the man to he deaf, and that lie was ' making a reipiest for liiin to speak louder, so ] that he could hear, asked him in a very loud j tone the name of the person for whom he | wanted the letter. "Louder !" cried the man. j "What name!" yelled the clerk. "Louder!" | again bawled the man, who supposed the clerk | to be deaf. Ti e clerk took a long breath, ami with all his might again bawled out into the mail's face the same question: "What name!" This was done in so loud a t ue that the echo ; seemed to return from the i.ar off hills. The 1 ] man started back in alarm, shouting at the '' i very top of his lungs: "Louder, sir, Louder! 1 I I v#ui 111.1 >*i-' Mv ii!ii)i(i is notliiiilc else."

J. A iSopoMtioit. Mr. Editor:?!u a convcrsatiniij the other day, in presence of some ladies, upon the position of the South in the Union, the probable election of Lincoln to the Presidency, etc., one of them asked the question: "If the South, or even South Carolina, would submit to this?" A gentleman, in reply, said he feared so.? "Then," said the lady, "if this be so, turn over the government to us, and we (the women of the South) will see to it, that our households are protected from that outrage and violence from which it seems our husbands, brothers, etc.. are too craven to protect us." Now, Mr. Editor, this is our proposition: If, upon the election of Lincoln, it should prove true that our men have not the nerve to secede, and thus save themselves, their wives and little ones, as well as their property, that we do turn over the- i/ovcrn men I to our wives, sisters, mothers fllid ilaui/hlers, and mi/ hje upon it, we wilt be sueed. Let us do this, and go to the more congenial calling of milking cows and nursing the babies. We know many men, several of them prominent in the South, who are better tilted for this occupation than for guiding and directing the affairs of State?many who are better fitted for rocking the cradle and singing the infant lullaby? "Hoekv-by-ljiiby, don't you erv," than like men defending their rights. What say you, men of the South, shall wc? resist Lincoln's election, or turn over the government to the women?find bless theiu? A U ESI.STANCE MAN. ? - ?? The Max foii JJcsixess".?Give us the straightforward, fearless, enterprising man for business. One who is worth a dozen of those who, when anything is to be done, stop, falter, and hesitate, and are never ready to take a decided stand. One turns everything within his reach into gold, the other tarnishes even what is bright; the one will succeed in life, and no adventitious e!reuinstances will hinder liiiu.? The other will be a continual drawling moth, bevcr rising above mediocrity, but rather falling below. Make up your mind to be firm, resolute, and industrious, if you desire prosperity. There is good in that saying of the Apostle, "\\ hitsocver thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might." Education and ITgiitino.?J?y a law of 1'russia, every child between the ages of seven and fourteen is required to go to seliool and to learn to read and write. In 1845 there were but two persons in a hundred who could neither read nor ^write. 2,328,1)00 children of the 2,000,000 between seven and fourteen years, attend school, in the standing army of J 20,000 but two soldiers are unable to read, la ease of her taking part in the war, 1'russia can bring into tiie field 300,000 men, in one sense the best educated military force in the world. A "Xa a vols" Item.?We often see writers praised for their ''nervous style" and graphic powers of description, but we apprehend that nervousness as.applied to lit-ratlire was never a striking exani^^^^^^; is one, upon a sub-* ject on which his readers will doubtless agree with him: "Long prayers and long speeches eat out and kill out a prayer meeting. They are death, double death?who cau bear them? Chilly ! It curdles the lifc-bluod of spirituality to hear a brother spin out and spin out, hold on and hold on, repeat and re-repeat, pray all over the world ami hack again tJneo or tour times ?then rise, make a long speech with no soul in it. Oh, what a dagger! ic/iat a dagger! Awful!?awful! " A few such passages as that would abolish the grievance, or there is 110 power in words. To speak profanely, brother New ton, they would knock it. Yea, verily. Tor the other half of a courting match there is nothing like an interesting widow. There is as much difference in courting a damsel and an attractive widow as there is in ciphering in addition and the double rule of three.

"No matter," says Put, blowing the mud and water out of his mouth, "I've found it." No one can liave rend the statement of the clerk of the steamer which went down on Fri* day night, without being struck by his description of the bearing of the ladies. "They were pale, but silent; there was not a cry or? shriek." The fortitude and resignation of men many have failed, but theirs failed not. So it is always in the great exigencies'which women arc called to meet. When troubles or dangers are but slight, they are more excited and tnortf alarmed than men. Hut let an overwhelming calamity bujw the fortunes and hopes of the husband, or father, or brother in sudden night, let disease or accident strike him down and stretch him on the bed of keenest suffering, then when strong men's hearts fail them, whet? their nerves are unstrung, when quaking fear or hopeless despondency takes possession of their souls, the frail weak woman rises with elasticity and calm determination to the demands of the terrible emergency, and with unttembling hand and cheerful voice she hastens to perform those blessed ministrations far which the might of men was inadequate. How many scenes of danger have we heard described?conflagration, assassinations, shipwrecks?in which women have, with heroic patience and submission, bowed meekly to their fate, and have taught the sublime lesson of Christian rcsTgiw tion to the husband and fathers who were witlr-.' them. In the hour of trial her weakness becomes strength?her sensibility is swallowed npr with faith.
