It is quite evident that the tone of the Southern people is no longer a tone of complaint and re- Moustrance. They now tell the story of their wrongs in a temper that cannot be mistaken. Contemplating the Probability of Lincoln's election, and reflecting on the Avowals of that candidate, and the evident scope and ten dency of republicaniam, they burn with « just sense of in- jury and insult; and « epirit is at length aroused, which, unless New York sball interfere to defeat the republican party, will flually warm and awell every bosom from the | Potomac Wo the Gulf of Mexico. Notwithstanding the pains which you and other oon pervative journalists have taken to enligntea the North, there seems to be an infatuation among certain per- sont there which makes them {nseasible to the portentous signe of increasing discontent, ex citement and revolution In this rospect there is & striking resemblance between the present feeling tp the South and tbat which animated the Ameri. can Colonies when they entered upon thelr contest with Great Britain, Cocoptitutional oppression ied in that cage Lo disoontent and oypoe\tion—firet maaifested in pe titions and remoustrances, and afterwards taking the ettitude of resistance, and Goaily separation and chaoge of government.

Breck! Ricuuonp, Va , Oct. 28, 1860 Ignorance and Folly of Northern Editors about the South— What the South Will Really Do, de. The mary idie and some foolish conjectures which are indulged in by Northern politicians and Northern editors, ip reference to the course which will probably be pursued by the Southern people in case Linoola and Hamlin are elected, bave induced me to take partioular pains to ascer tain what is most likely to be done. 1 learn that since the Pennsy!vania clection « free inter change of views bas been had among the leading mea of ‘all parties in the Southern States on this vital topic. This interchange has not only been bad by correspondence, but tp persona) conversation by frequent visite between such Persons, some of which have been noticed in the public pripte. The recent visit of Governor Letoter, of this State, to Maryland, was for consultation on this subject. ‘The disoretion of prominent men, who have taken tue sub ject tn hand is displayed by the fact that such reckless and thoughtless agitatore as Wise ani Pryor, and Yancey and Rhett, and Toombs and Jeff. Davis, | bave been sedulously excluded from thelr cous to's. It seems the programme determined upon, and whicb will bo certainly carried out, and which is well understood in every State south of Mason and Dixon's line, is as foliows:— ‘Most of the Southern Legislatures assemble, acsording to Copstitutjonal or legisiative provisions of each State, ta the pproaching months of December or January; aad with respect to those which do not #0 convene, immodiauly upon the fact of Mr. Lincoln's election being ascertained an extra session wil) be called by executive proclamation. No warlike, hostilo demonstration or astion will be Attempted, and the most ragacions Southern states. men are of opinion that no preparation for internecine hoetilities against the othor section of the Union will be necessary. The action of cach State Legisiature will be limited, in reference to ‘this all important subject, to the passage of « brief law for the ascertainment by ® popular viva voce vole whether the peupie of such State desire to secede from the con- federacy, and such law will also provide, in case the majority’ ef the people of such State abull decide in favor of secession, for the election of a primary couvention to enforce that ultimate right of independent sovereignty, | and which State Couveotion will also appoint delegates to meet and confer with those oo States who may have de cided in favor of secession, #0 as to insure harm aious action. You wili perceive that by this mode the subjest Will, iD & great measure, be taken out of the bands of agi- tating and demagoguical politicians. Time wil! be givea 10 the North as weil as to the South to reflect upon this momentous crisis. Usloas some foolish, hairbrained young men of the South or entbusiastic fanatics of the North should precipitate hostilities in the meantime, of which there is some caoger, at the inauguration on the | 4th of March, bioodshed and civil war may perhaps be | averted.

The Question of Negroes Voting—The Republican Doctrine Would Recoil on Themselves, dc. There is much said about the slave puwer in the South, mreiation to the vote cf the South in Congress. This subject is not anderstood by the North. io the white States, a runaway pogro is marked one in the censua, while in the South a siave represents only three-fifths of one vote. Allowing the ratio of represen- tation to be 94,000 for each reprenevtative, and the slaves to be counted in the census of the South the same as in Rives, in be called the free States, the slave States would thea be entitled to a fraction over nineteen members of Congress more than ‘they now have. Thus, from 4,600,000 siaves ict us take ‘two-fifths (1,800,000), the amount not counted in the ratio of representation of the South—the namber not im the census enumeration of the South. Now, as two Afths of 4 600,000 slaves amounts to 1 800,- 000, let us divide that cumber by 94,000, the cumber apport oned for each member in the white States, and it will be found the South, or slave States, would be eatitied w vineteen members more than they now have in the Hovre of Representatives of the United States And would a\most suppose, as the abolitionists are for making a negro a full voter | white maa, that they would at east, tn making out eg 2 for the ratio of representation, allow the population Sout to be counted ip the census just a jon to ‘the white Stace. dbould this States would have niseteen more representatives, and thus make the election of ‘Moult, tha upen the three firtha of the slave only epumerated ja the representation the House of Representatives of mat. im apy of our public jourcal public Cixcursion im that di We do pot exactly aee why the electors of President and Vice Presideat in Ohi», and the electors be carried by @ vote equal to the negro vote, ‘will auch clectorai vote be counted for the President !

None! My own opinion is— ‘and [have been closely intimate in Massachussetts for twenty five years—that in less than two years after the formation of, ‘Ube Southern ooafederacy, Massachusetts herself would agree not only to return all fugitive slaves that may eecape hereafter w her territory, bat to restore ‘ail now on her soil, in order to obtain s treaty from the Soutb, by which her manufactures would be recsived by us on the same terms they pow are. Io fact, a Southern confederacy woald hold tbe prosperity, for years at least, of all New Eogiand in the hollow of ber hand. For the prosperity of New Engiand being dependent exclusively upon manufactures and commeroe, without the market of the Souta, for the former aud the protection of the navi- gation laws for the latter, these, nearly her sole employ- ment, must perish. No, Mr. Ediwr, when tbe North dod, to late, that they bave driven their brethen of the South into a new confederacy for their self preservation, reflection will then come, and their object will be, most assuredly, not to begin a destructive and useless war against them, but to recover by pegotiation and treaty the advantage of thetr former trade wad relations, and in bidding for this I that Marsachusetta will outdo all her competitors. Many other rearovs could be adduced to prove the utter improbability, almost imporsibility, of a civil war beiog sequence to the formation of ® Southern confederacy, but really it would seem like silly surplusage to argue the matter furtber. The dlpeteenth century is potas ere ip which a disastrous and deaperave crusade for the propa gation of a fanatical creed is likely to be undertake by civilized nations, and there assuredly is no other cause ‘upon the people, enable it to sup- ‘and liberal government: and further, that an attack upon ua by the North, sur ance would be equally sought er on only re- gg2 sb fs i rebsee.

Before the game commenced, Mr. Phelan announced that there was a game to be played be- tween Lynch and @rary; but those gentlemen had de- clined playing it, as their chance of winning the prize had passed away, and as this game bad formed part of the programme of the eveping, to atone for the deficieney, Mesers.
