Result of the Election
Wo have not yet seen an official return of
the votes of the several States, but have gath
ered from the genAal reports enough to ascer
tain pretty certainly how the electoral votes
of all the States, except Ore. on will be cast
for President. The following named States
arc for Lincoln beyond all dispute: Con
neeticut, G; Massachusetts, 15; Maine,-8;
• Vermont, 5; New Hampshire, 5; New York,
35; Rhode Island, 4; Penr ylvania, 27;
Ohio, 23 , Indiana, 13 ; Illinois, 11 ; Iowa. 1;
Wisconsin,5; Minnesota, 4; and Michigan, G;
—total electoral vote, 1G‘J.
Mr. Breckinridge has in all probability
carried the following: Deleware, 3 ; Arkan
sas, 4; Alabama, 9 ; Georgia, PJ ; Florida 3 ;
Louisiana, 6; Maryland, 8; Mi -i -ippi. 5;
North Carolina, 10; South Carolina, S; and
Texas, 4 ;—total, 80.
Mu. Bell has received Virginia, 15 ; Ken
tucky, 12 ; and Tennessee, 12;—total 39.
Mr Douglas lias received Missouri, 9;
and California, 4;—total 13.
The State of Now Jersey, which has seven
electoral votes, has gone for the fusion ticket;
and as tiiree, out of the seven electors are
known to be for Breckinridge, lus vote in
the college will he eighty-three. Oregon,
which has three electoral votes, is yet to he
heard from, hut it matters not how .-he' goes
for Lincoln has received 1G9 electoral voles,
•when only 152 are necessary to a choice.

The Citizen's Position.
Our fire-eatin : ncEhL .rofi The Cu'zcn. in
»
an article of his last issue, defining his pre
sent position, says he is for seer ion. since
Lincoln has been chosen Chief Executive
by a constitutional vote cf the i ■ tie. am! that
such has been his position wince l::st February;
and he furthermore dives down among 1 Fold
files to prove that he is not trying to mislead
any one in making the assertion. We hereby
tender him our cordial belief in every word
lie says, and only regret lie did not have a
*• confessional spell " come over him some two
or three weeks before the election, in order
that all his party might have been*as clear in
knowledge of where he w- ulJ be. in cme of the
election of 31 it. Lincoln, as tin v do tow.
«/
.If such has been his true position since last
February—and inasmuch as he says so, we
will not pretend tod: not it—let us dive down,
too. among some old libs, and see \ hat the
great embodiment of the secession move.
Win IAM L. V.'.m i.v. la--: b n thinkin : f
him during the tone. The ext: ,< ti. from th
‘'big fire-eater's " speech delivered in New
Orleans some weeks before the Presidential
election :
“What, said ho. should the Soldi do if th‘L
nan Lincoln gets into power ? It is said w ■ ought
to resist, ns the common phrase is. I’m hero let
me say it is a wrong pi -iso. Vic cannot resist
the inauguration ui Lincoln, because bis it::. -*n
ration would be a legal and constitutional torn',
conducted according to law. If. th • b.ve, tbe
phra e •• to res: Luiea ice to the inau
guration of Lincoln, 1 repeat that it would be
wrong. It would be r< bcllion an i tretwon.
Now let us see if our n hi r’s p- ition
is -re istance 1” to ti e inauguration of Lin
coln as President of the I'nltod States, for
if it is, Mu. Yancey has said smiie hard
things about him. ’Lincoln ha.- been lc.t.iiy
chosen to till the office of President over
thirty-three .States, and our neigh- or don’t
want him to do so by taking some of the
States out of tbe 1 nion—hi a peaceable way
if he can. and in a fighting way if be must.
This, to us, certainly re.ambles resist
ance.”
---
The Prospects.
If tbe hot-headed people of the South
who are now raising a row about the election
of Lincoln to the Presidency, and in' t on
that account alone, upon seem ion from the
confederacy, will quiet down, and foil -win
the dictates of commendable sense, let the
inauguration of the rail-splitter take place,
we firmly believe, from the pro.-poets a'o;v
presented, that the abolitionism of the North
will be the first people to fall out with him.
He has already announced that his cabinet
will neither contain Seward nor any of \'
proselytes. This has already caused efi'em •
to tue nortnern innatcs. And furthermore,
they will he the first to c-fy out against him,
from the fact that he says, and we all know it
to he so—he has no power, as President of
the United States, sworn to support the Con
stitution, to carry out any of the doctrines
which they claim lie lias the right and expect
him to do. And 1 icside-s this, .Jr Lincoln
well knows that the Southern j wol \ Breck
inridge men. Douglas men, and Dell men. all
together, would shoulder their muskets, in
case he dared to commit one /act iwarcs:-ivc
upon their rights of violative of the Constitu
tion, and make him leave the capital on a far
faster line than the British did the good old
Madison in 1812. We believe that the
proper course now to be pusued by the peo
ple, is to let Lincoln he constitutionally in
augurated. inasmuch as he has been eon-i
tutionally elected, and hi - course will he such,
in his Executive capacity, that his own party
will be the first to grumble at his administra
tion.
-♦<>♦
J ITT: following extract from The Cincinnati
Enquirer’s \\ ashington correspondence is «>f"
much importance to the people of the South
ern States:
“ It is now confidently stated in circles that pro
fess to be well acquainted about Mr. Lincoln’s
purposes, that, if elected, he will offer the De
partment of State to Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, and
in case the latter declines, I hen to Mr. Rives;
and that in no event will lie subject bis Adminis
tration to the incumbrance of identifying Mr.
Seward, either in the Cabinet or as foreign minis
ter, or in any other capacity.”
M bile the idea is absurd that Mr. Bell
would entertain for a moment the thought of an
acceptance of office in Lincoln’s Cabinet,
the people must see that the President elect is
not so bad a man as the 8’eces ionists xvould
have them believe, by his refusal to have such
men around him as Seward, or any of his
E followers. *
OXE MOllE STATE OF THE SOUTH
Against I >isunion!
VIRGINIA FOR BELL!!!
l,7CO MAJORITY!!
«
The following piece of glorious news has
reached us through the columns of the Mem
phis papers of the 19th inst., and will make
every lover of the Union, peace and prosper
ity rejoice and "be exceeding glad’’ that the
] eople of another ►Southern State—am! such a
one as the Old Dominion—have set their
seal against those who would tear down the
bulwark of American liberty, deluge the land
with fratricidal blood and destroy the very
interest which they protend to be battling to
protect.
Ai.kx iXWRiiYu.. November 19.—Bell’s major
ity in tiic Stale is pronouma-d to be 1700 without
a doubt.
Thanks to the power that wrought the
work, we now have four of as true Southern
States as exist, whose people o; -r no conso
lation to tin howling ! >erv ’ ! •■ ■ > f di (unionism
and destruction, but who, on the other hand,
administer them such a rebuke as should not
fail to make them drop their heads in shame.
These four noble States are KENTUCKY,
VIIHHXIA. TENNESSEE, and MIS
SIVE!, who.-e people have nwre rJit to cry
out against the North than any of the rest ci
the Sxhuern constellation, for they are these
who have suffered most from the acts of the
abolition fanatics ; and knowing, as they well
do, that race- ion is not the plan to secure fu
ture peace to themselves, or protection to their
lights, h ivej-'.it the idea forever beneath their
condemn;! n. and still claim the eunstitu
tii n, the Lnii na id ei f< n m< nt • f the laws.”

Elegant Extracts.
If, ns command' i-in-ehief of our army and
navy, he [Line >I:i] refuses protection to our p.-r
o:is and pro] orty, wc would advise, nay, in i i
U] on g<e ioi. But, on the o!tu r hand, if he
ci*for« ‘‘s impartially the fonsi'iniion mid 1 iws, a
intevpretcl liy the Supreme Court, there can no
more good accrue from such a step now, than
when cither of the A'.lt'tiis, Harrison or Fillmore
occupied the Chair. The elder Adams was a con
scv. alive aholtt ioni-'t ; while.lohu Quincy A'!.tins
was more rabid in his opposition to slavery than
Lin in bii a f. [< tizen 11th Nov.
El where, in t-lav's "issue of tlie Citizen, wc
have indicated our purpose to advocate secession
as the proper policy for the South, iu view of the
triumph to Black if .publican
[t’itizen 21st Nov.
What could have caused such a change to
come <;o’er the spirit" of our neighbor’s
“ dream" in the incredibly short snare *rf
seven days, we cannot imagine, unless^ds be
says, lie has been in favor of secession, since
last February, and was only poking fun at
his readers in the meantime, when he has
said anything else. But, neighbor, if you
have been on the bench of repentence in re
gard to your doctrine of the 14th, tell us
what holy expounder of the truth—and true
Democracy—brought you through. Was it
Yancey, Toombs. Davis, Chesnut,' or the
Memphis Avalanche?
Next week we will present our readera
with an abstract of Gov. Hector’s Inaugural
Message to the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives.
The attempt to exclude slavery from acquired !
territory liy tiie so called Wilmoi Proviso present
ed the third occasion. [Citizen..
In the list of grievances, which our neigh
bor sums up as sufficient cause for the South
ern States to secede from the confederacy, now
that Lincoln has been constitutionally elect-1
ed. appears the extract given above. Our
neighbor ought to have named the territory,
for many honest people might be misled by
what he lias said, if be don't mean Oregon.
Now this territon- did have slavery exclud
ed from it by the Wilmot Proviso, and James
K. Polk, Democratic President of the Unit
ed States signed the bill, and Barnwell
IJ.il ett, of South Carolina, and also—(if you
have tear- to shed, prepare to shed them now,)
William L. Yancey, of Alabama, voted
i for the bill.
Election in the State
As we have not had full official returns of
the vote for President, in Arkansas, we have
deferred the publication of a table until our
next issue. 31R. Breckiniude's 31ajority
is said to be near 5.000.
