A PREGNANT SUGGESTION. It u matter of notoriety that t^ie Southern Stated which oootain the largest number of advo cates for secession and disunion are the States which have suffered least in the past from any of the aggressions charged upon the Federal Gov ernment or their confederate States of the Nortli. It is also matter ot notoriety that the Southern States which (lying ou the border) have suffered most from the sectional disturbances that have so long prevailed are precisely those of the slave- holding States which are least disposed to adopt th« policy of separation. What is the indubitabU infereucu from this* Simply that the policy of disunion finds its most strenuous supporters among those ycho look to it tor the attainment of future purpostt, and not at ail for the cure of past grievanoes. If the latter were the inspiring causes of the movement it would proceed from the States which have the most, we may almost say the only, substantial reason for complaint. Reduced then, to the inevitable logical nec essity of finding the primum mobile of this agita tion,so far as it takes its motives from calculations of interest in some prospective aims which cannot be secured in the Union, but may be secured in a •‘Southern Confederacy," we obtain a useful hint on the subject from the following prudent out- giTings, which are commended to the special at tention oi our readers in the border slaveholding States. We quote from the comoiunicatlon of a writer in the Charleston Courier, who signs him self “A Southern i'lanter,” and who, alter sta ting the labor demands of the South, expresses the hope that the South Carolina Convention will not discuss the question of reviving the foreign •lave trade, and he gives as a reason tor this cau tious reserve that such a discussion may repel and disgust the frontier States. He says: “The question of mors labor and the opaoing of the ■lar« trade thouIJ be postpoaed untii all the tUve Slutu that are willing to unite with ut in forming a Southfrn Confederaey have perfected their interttal arranyttMut*; nor should any measure that is calculated to keep any of our Southern States from ut be argued oracled upon by the Convention. The opening of the African slave trade I am satisfied will have an import'int hearing on the action of many of the present frontier Siatet, either in uniting them with or separating them from us; and •Ten if a common destiny forces them into connexion with us hereafter, it would be preferable for them to beeome willing rather than unwilling co-partners in our ooncern. This question also will have much influence with the great nations of Europe in acknowledging our Independence, and will create a like interest iu the oommeroial treaties they may form with us.” In Other words, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and the rest are to bo inveigled into the new Lnion before the real objects of it are de clared. They are necessary to strengthen the Confederacy; but, after they shall have beea used for this z''* ''nlv of the bor- a«r States, but of the civilized world against the revival ot this deplorable traffic may be success fully braved. Who shall venture to predict the disasters—moral, social, and financial—that may ensue to the beneficent form of servitude which now exists in the South if the arrangements of the present Constitution be disturbed? National lntelli(jencer. THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME 1 The New York Times, a moat influential Repub lican paper, has the following spccial dispatch;— Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 27.—Several leading Republicans are now here, and consul tations have been held with several prominent Southern men as to the best remedy, if any, for the dangers which threaten the country. One proposition, which seemed to meet with favor among the Republicans, was that Mr. Lincoln should disarm secession on account of his election, by announcing his cabinet so soon as the electoral vote shali have been cast. It is suggested that this would furnish the conservative men of the South with an effective weapon for the Union, provided the list included three men from the South who command th. confidence ot the whole country,—for instance, such men as Scott of Vir ginia, Graham of North Carolina, and Sharkey of Mississippi. It is believed that Mr. Lincoln will be perfectly willing to do this, though unusual, if it would pour oil on the troubled waters. It is also .^aid that on Tuesday and Wednesday ot next week, an influential meniV>er of the Re publican Party will offer Resolutions in Congress, declaring the rights of the several States in terms which must be satisfactory to every Union-loving man in the South, with the emphatic declaration that this bill of rights the Republican Party is willing to embody in the Constitution. Should this be done, all excitement, it is believed, will subside iu forty-eight hours, and rettson will re sume her sway, to the chagrin and mortification of those who have labored so long and so earnest ly to break up the Cotifederacy. It is certain that the Republican Party, so far as it Is represented by those who nave arrived in Washington, is entirely willing, not only to do full justice to the South, but to give every con stitutional guarantee to the same. If disunion rnu.st come, it appears that tiie South will be made to shoulder the responsibility. Strung hopes are expressed, to-day, that by some prompt action next week, and by an announcement of Mr. Lin coln's Cabinet, prior to the assembling of the South Carolina Convention, the Union will yet be aved. It is now well ascertained that Judge Taney has not agreed to resign, although frequently ap proached on the subject, and requested to do so The dispatch announcing his resignation, and that it created no surprise on the public mind, was only an ingenious device to induce his resigna tion. It ha* been urged upon him that although his mental vigor is unimpaired, his delicate health will hardly justify the hope that he can continue to serve through Mr. Lincoln’s term; and there fore, to keep the appointment of hia succes^-orout ot Mr. Lincoln’s hands, he should resign now. It has even been proposed, in view of Judge Taney’s being a poor man, to make up a sum of money for him to retire on. But his present purpose, as I understand from those who are presumed to know, is to “die in the harness.” THE SECTIONAL TROUBLES.

Propoted National Convention.—The follow ing is the resolution introduced into the Georgia Senate for a National Convention: Be it therefore enacted by the Senate and Eov$e of Reprexentatioei of the State of Georgia, in General Autmbly met, that the Executive of this State be requested to give notice to the seve ral States of this Lnion that have violated the Constitution, in their legislative capacities as btatea, that the contract, as to them, is at an end; and also those States that have not violated the Constitution, in their State capacities, that Geor gia has resttu-ed her sovereignty and delegated powers, but will not consider the compact dis- •olved as to them, but will most heartily co-operate with them in defending and protecting the Con stitution which our fathers gave us, both in letter and in spirit. And, for the furtherance of this object, we therefore recommend the call of a Convention, without delay, of all those States that are willing to abide by the Constitution, to assemble on the 8th day of January next, at such place as the several States shall think most avail able, for the purpose of forming a Union; and that the several States call Conventions of their people to ratify their action in the same manner and form that the present Constitution was rati fied; or in such other manner as the people of the •everal sovereign States shall think proper. Southern Policy.—Now is the time, sayu the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette, to urge Southern di rect trade and home manufactures. Each South- em^State ought to exert all its energies to increaso ita internal economical strength. Every domestic enterprise that is essential to home comfort and safety should be encouraged. All should unite in these peaceful measures for securing true inde pendence and security. V'irginia should stimulate its home manufactures, labor tor direct trade, build more manufactories, encourage ship-building, and improve in every possible way her present system •of agriculture. Our State-ha-s the means and capabilities of an empire in itself. We need not be dependent upon the North, nor permit our selves to be regarded as an “appendage to the Cotton States.” Not Bad.—The following story is told of an oc currence in South Carolina a few days ago:— ‘In additioon to the regular corps already in ex istence, volunteer companies are bein" continually formed. The desire of each one of the members of these new companies to occupy the placed' honneur in his particular squad was amu.singly exemplified not long ago. In a town in the vicinity of Charleston a body of the citizens met to form themselves into a volunteer rifle corps. All the proliminaries being arranged, the election of officers came in order. It now soon became patent to the meanest understanding that each individual member was bound to have an office. As such a scheme, carried out, would not be ac cording to Hoyle, or “Hardee’s Tactics," one cleverer than the rest .suggested that all who de sired to become officers should retire during the balloting. The suggestion was acted upon. Three persons were left in the room to conduct the elec- tion. The three, notwithstanding they had been thiM shamefully deserted, determined to do their dul^y nobly. They proceeded at once to business. After a htte time had elapsed, the outsiders were ^lled in, and informed with much seriousness that the meeting had had great difficulty in mak iDg a choice, aa the claims of all those who had wtired were so conspicuous. The electors had included, therefore, that the only way to settle the difficulty and give satisfaction to all, was to djct themselves to the three principal offices They had accordingly done so." A SOUTHRON VISITS .MR. LINCOLN The only article of a conservative character we have observed in the Charleston journali within the last two or three weeks is the following, which we find in the Charleston Courier of Saturday last, credited to a Tennessee paper. Is it true? From thi Charletton Courier of Xovttixbtr «4. A Southf~n Flamer Vuilt .¥r Ztncvtn.—Lincoin't Policy at Defined by hitntelf.—A w*«Uhy planter of Mis sissippi, a native of .Maury county. (Tenn.) and Breckinridge Democrat, passed through this city on Satur^ty last, and related to a gentleman of one of the upper counties, whom w« know to be entirely reliable, the following. We take the liberty of giving the facts elicitel publicity because of their importance; This planter desired to purchase an additional supply of negroes to pick his present crop of Cotton, but feared to do so on accouut of the great depraciatiou iu tlieir value and the alarming excitement which pervaded the S.uth. In order to ascertain from hia own lips .Mr. Lincoln's policy, he visited him at his residence in Springfield. .Mr. Lincoln inform«l him thathe was op posed to any interference with slavery in the States, or with the inter-Sute slave trade; that he was opposed to abolishing or interfering with slavery in the District of Columbia; and that he was only oppo-«d to its extension in the Territories, but added “that was only an opinion of his.” He was then asked what would he do in the event that South Carolina seceded from the Union? H* replied that he world let her go if Congress did not pass a "force bill.” He stated that if no one would acccpt office in that State, of course they could receive no bene fit from the Government, and the whole expense for the distribution of the mails would devolve on her own citi- iens. Re concluded by advising the .Mi.ssissippiau to purchase as many negroes as he needed; and expressed the opinion that, in twelve months, slave property would be worth more than it ever has been Upon these assurances the gentleman wa., on Satur day, making his way to Virginia to purchase more ne groes. Ha says that Lincoln is a man of profound ac quirement!*, and that he doubts not will make as good if not a better President than .Mr. liuchanan had done.

C.:— I have been in this section for several days. The excitement in relation to the disunion move ment is intense, and will, from appearances, in crease in ;nten.sity, until a collision with the gen eral government be unavoidable. Meetings and resolves appear to be the order of the duy, with any ammnt of blood and thunder speeches; whilst a banner on which is u lomi star, flutters to the breeze, indicating, a> we suppo.se, the present posi tion. and determination of the State to act alone. The very sudden re.-iction however, in the price of cotton and other property, especially in the former, as cotton is tlat, is producii g a corre.s- ponding reaction in the public mind am^r.g engaged in the funning interest, and will, it is thought, ultimate in the “sober second thought,” which promises a more conservative and health ful state of the public mind. It is to be regrettel that a people so much alive to the proprieties and courtesies ot life, as .South Carolinians are, should permit their heads to be badly turned on political matters, as to sut ler “madness to rule the hour,” as it verily does at the present tiuie. ASHlNtJTo.v, Nov. —As the time ap proaches for the meetinif of Congress, the excite ment becomes intensilied here, and aerioiis ap prehensions are expressed as to what may be the result of the first week’s session.

The former proposes to indemnify the owner of every escaped slave, from the Federal or State Treasury, where- ever the duty of restoring him remains unfulfill ed, and the latter to “arm the Federal authorities with all needful power to execute” the Fugitive Slave law, “make all counties liable for the value ot slaves rescued within their bounds,” and then “restore the Mi.ssouri Compromise Line,” thus “securing to the South all territory adapted, by soil and climate, to its peculiar institution.” Now comes the Utica Herald, with these remarks: “For ourselves wo are sick of Africa.
