With tlie niunerical power in both P ranches of Congress, it was only, necessary iu onipletc their mastery; tiiat tlio Northern pco tie should be united in using , their power. [hey hare become united, in this election, on j lie principle of hostility to African Slavery in he South., On this principle, purely sectional, hey have elected a Southern renegade?spewed t >ut of the bosom of Kentucky into Illinois? j md a Northern mulatto, to be President and Ficc-Prcsident ofthe United States. A naked j lectional despotism is organized over the South ?as hating as it is hated?with all the fury of | fanaticism, and all thejust of avarice and ambition to direct its power. Fellow-citizens, I have gone through all this detail of the various sectional issues, which lutvc ( arisen between-the North and the South, that ( you might understand your true position, and weigh well your future destiny. After twentyseven years of steady and unscrupulous effort to obtain the rule over you?will the North surrender it when acquired? After the characteristics the Northern people have "developed, in all their sectional contests with you, what hope can you have of any justice or safety under.their domination? Selfishness, ambition, avnrice,faithlessness or fatiath-ism, have marked their contest with you ; whilst on "your part, you have exhibited generosity, confidence, disinterestedness, and a devotion to your compact of union with them, not without weakness. The truth is, the Northern people are not fit to live /with any other people in the world. They have not-the least conception of the principles of free government. *1 heir idea of* such a government is, that ^majority shall rule a pinjoritv. If seven men formed a govern meut, four has the absolute power over the three. Those wise and delicate restrictions against absolute power, whether in one-man, or in many, by wjiich the rights and liberties of air are secured, they know nothing aud care nothing about. No regard* therefore, to the* great principlcsof free government, will restrain Hie exercise of their bmte power for your destruction. Nor bnfc they for you, any of that respect, which is so ncaf akin to fear. ' You have shbmitted'so continually and -habitually to tirefr aggressions and oppressions, that they, despfe^ .you..;.

Fellow-citizens, the dissolution of tho Union ill by no means be the completion of our duveraucc. There will bo great difficulty in mitiug the members of our Suit born Confcdcicy.' Many of the free States will desire to mi us, J bit there are three things which, as it humble citizen of tho South, I would suggest light sternly to be insisted upon in shaping its iture destinies ; c Fir*'. The Southern Confederacy ought to n e a slaveholding Confederacy, It is uo expo- c' ment that free governments should exist in h aveholding countries. The Republics of Rome P .... . . ? i L ?.

Xo monopolies should 011 . xists, but all should be left to employ their inInstry in their own way, saving where the l'' exigencies of the Government require revenue ?r or restrietion. - in And the third condition which South Caro- sc liua should require is that the forts and fortres- UI ses in our Bay should never again be snrren- a dered to any power on earth. We" have seen *f? the cannon?placed in them for our defence? ^ tunned against us for our subjugation. "When 111 our flag again floats over-them, let it remain di there until our cxistence'is blotted out as a free jes people. flu With guarantees such as these, what shall v) prevent the,people of the South from being a great and free people ? Taught by the bitter ' experience we have bad, wo can frame a Con- , stitution the best for securing justice and liber- j* ty the world lias c&r'sccn. With such a'Con- " stitution and our institutions, we can establish s' a Confederacy which shall- endure forages; e and our Confederacy will be as poweiful as it will be great.'

'' My friends, the Union is dissolved. It lias long since been dissolved, in my sympathy and spirit. It is now about to be dissolved in form and fact.

We have, on several occassions, called pubic attention to the disaster and ruin that must Heritably follow the ranging of the great maerial interests of the South in hostility to those jf the North, under political influences. We javc shown the identity of such a contest with :he old bank conflict of the time of Jackson. We have proven that a similar result of ruin ind bankruptcy must follow the political ranging of material interests to-day to that which followed those thirty years ago. Instead of meeting our arguments or disproving our facts, boyish and silly journalists of the Black Republican school assume to runke light of the dangers that stare us in the face, and to condemn the teachings ot experience.. The trouble that is in the air, all roiind lis, will come too soon to he welcome to any of the vast industrial atyl commercial interests that wiil be the first to suffer and the last to recover from the rising tempest, jn mc contew^tlatc the position of the States which SouthernTHpteLMKl Northern folly seem determined to drTvortW-of the political and coin^ mercial Union witli us. It is not excessive to estiinatMh^t the five seceding States hold one-half of thcTViti?'1 crop, or say, at least, two millions of ha c^ wortlt in the market not less than ?100.000,000. This cotton is to them as so much gold, for the world must have it, and, if no other means can he found to obtain it, will send the gold for it. Massachusetts will' he as eager in this as will he England and Trance; and this feet strengthens the South immeasurably in its prosecution of the "irrepressible conflict" with Northern fanaticism.

As these States puodtice to a.large extent, the food necessary for their.consumption," and possess in.Cottoil a means for procuring any deficit, any trouble in the channels of trade and currency wiljj affect .only thc.merchants and consumers of luxuries. They have no large mechanical and manufacturing inter-est which must starve when trade s'tops. Their laboring population, being slaves, will not suffer from a delay in the exchanges of commerce, and they can consequently, have no great popular agitation of masses out of work and wages. In this respect, as compared with the North, their position is almost impregnable. Agriculture, and not trade* and manufactures, ronsti; tntes their staple of employment, and a failure to pay their debts to the merchants would only injure these and their Northern correspondents. On the other hand, the rupture of the commercial relations between the North and the Cotton States must bring confusion to our own exchanges and currency. Short-sighted people may laugh at the idea of the Southern banks stopping payment, and Southern bankers declining to ncgot ate cotton bills on the North; but if the currency of these hills is stopped, and specie continues to flow South, as it has already begun to flow, the whole credit system of the North will be thrown into confusion. Every steamer that leaves for a South em port, every express that departs over a Southward line of railway, now carries a greater or less amount of specie. Let us take one example of the effect of this necessity. Massachusetts consumes annually about forty millions of dollars worth of cotton. Her banks hold, according to the returns of the Clerk of the House of Representatives on the 1st of January last, ?? ,53*2,647 in specie. She has no export that commands gold unless it be her manufactured cottons. JIow will she procure the cotton she requires to feed her mills and pay her laborers their wages J The movement that is now going on in the South, in defence of what the Southern people consider to be their indefeasible rights, is preparing a financial and commercial revolution in the North which will sweep a flood of bankruptcy over it. It matters not whether they are right or wrong, they think tbov are right, and it is their acts, not the principles on which their acts are founded, that are produoing the evil. The Black Republican leaders and journals must abandon their tone of scorn and dc* fiance towards the South and its rights ; the Black Republican masses must recede from their fanatical war upon Southern interests, or they will bring disaster and ruin into our midst that will produce revolution here. It is not the discussion of the political question of secession, but it is a practical question of trade, work and wages. Arc they prepared to meet this in the midst of a half employed coinmun- j ity ??Xew York Hernhl, They II.wb Peceivkd Themselves.?There can be no doubt that there is a general eonvic?;..n WirtU tliikl the Bell mid 1 )ou<d:is luil'ties South will oppose resistance to the election of Lincoln.

Lady Franklin arrived in Richmond on Friday, and took apat^ii.vents'r.at tho Spotswood Hotel. i i '/ ' ' ; tt Legislature, which, we Iielieve, is summoned to meet in January, Virginia will propose a meet* tic ing of the Southern1 States in conference. Tliis tin is the measure which South Carolina proposed dc to Virginia last winter. It was hooted down, ti< and rejected as a disunion measure. If it had by been adopted, an Abolitionist would not, in all sa probability, have been elected President of the wi United States, ahd the sectionalisnt of the fr: North might have been alarmed. It was an be exceedingly conservative proposition, which or Virginia was unable to appreciate. The times er have now passed beyond it. Virginia may io now call, but the South will not answer. She is completely demoralized in the estimation of ti< the South; and no Southern State, intent on pi vindicating her rights and preserving hcrin-|w stitutions, would go into a conference with her. at She lias placed the Union above the rights and p< institutions of the South, and will only seek a el conference with the Southern States in order cj to bring them down to the level of her fatal, d< Union policy. Virginia and the other frontier as States may as well nt once understand their tc position with the cotton States. They arc not expected to aid the cotton States in protecting ti themselves and redcemingtheir liberties. They p will practically aid the Northern States in at- ti tempting to obtain in the South an aoquics- o cciicc in the rule of Abolitionists at Washing- It ton.
