Wasmrxctox, Nov. 10, 1860. | Numerous despatches from different parts of every | Southern and Southwestern State indicate that there are Iarge numbers of persons in those regions ready to fly to | armé.

Yet there are vast masses in each of ‘hore States who bave no part nor ‘ot in all this vehemence, passion ani display. From theso latter the ad- ministration hears, as well as from the more Glamorous and exaggerating sources. The former are beard most loudly and frequentiy just now, but they Ought not on that account to be regarded as the exponents of doctrines which are most widely spread or most geae- rally adopted in the siavebolding States, and it would certainly be most uppatrictic, unjust and unwise to ig- nore the moderates, with whom the vast majority of the people im those States sympathize, for the sake of pro- pitiating a comparatively few ambitious and exasperated leaders. ‘The love of the Union is still proved to be a deepmeated and irradicable sentiment in the hearts of the people, even of the seceding States. Letters from every one of them attest this fact. Disunion is looked on with abbor- renee, apart from all consideration of \te absolute imprac Ueability. Nullification bas 00 defenders, ani sesession is almost as little favored by the really great minds of ‘the South, although there is clear distinction between the two theories. South Carolina is the seat of disloyalty to the Union, and mauy persons think that the sooner she goes out the better. She bas been the prolific cause of trouble for a long teries of years.

PACIFICATORY MERTINGS OF THE REPUBLICANS IN PHILADELPHIA, ETO. Purapscraia, Nov. 10, 1860. A few days since republican club, the “ Eighteenth Ward Defenders,” adopted resolutions tendering their services to Abrabam Lincoln to support him in bie claims to the Presidency, agains: any opposition that might be made by the Minate Ven of the South. This action cre ‘ted considerable excitement among tho party loaders, who were divided in their opinions respecting the expe- diency 0! such action. There was a large meting of the Continental Club this evening, #8 i: was understood that some over-zealous members intended to force the adoption of similar resolu- tions. Bu: such an attemp: was prostrated by the energy of the more politic leaders. Immediately on the opea- fog of the meeting, District Attorney Mann roso and made ® lengthy speech, in which, without alluding cirectly to this attempt to coerce the South, he contended that now, in the time of vietory, the party sbould act with becoming dignity. They beve no cause for aiding in this sembiance of strife. He believed there was a strong conservative fecling io the South, which was evidenced by the large vote givea there for Bell and Dovgias. Abraham Lincoln will disap point none but knaves. He will give us & pure govero- ment, which will be gratifying as arefreshing change.

Uf he (Mr. Watson) was a Southern rev\dent, and believed that this great party of the North «cre bent on freeing all the siaves, he would be the same as they are now— just as ripe for resistance. Immediate emancipation was ‘8 word which in their minds implied rapine, murder aud desolation. Bot it was not the purpose of the republican party 'o free the “‘biack barbarians’ of the South. Very modera'e conservative, Union-loving, aut!eec- tonal resolutions, were then adopted. Thus the attempt to form the republican clubs of this city into s posse for the support of Mr. Linooin to the Presidential chair has been defeated. OUR BARKISBURG CORRESPONDENCE.
