What Will the Snl h do!

What will the South do ia cae Liocoln is elected, is a question ofteu asked, but whether in. seriousness or derision it is sometimes difficult to tell. We suppose however, if the American people should be set fortunate to elect Abraham Liocoln as their President, the South teiJ. lire under a Republican Administration. How it will not do this, we are at a loss to determine If one Southern man refuses tobe Post Master under a Republicat President, an other Southera mau may accept the ep pomtment. If however no otau South of Masou and Dixons Li in will hold the of' fiee, tbea the So nth will hire no Post Of fices tlat is all, and Northern pockets will save a larga amount of cash which is now taken from them and appropriated to keep up the postal arrangements of the South. If co one, who ia a citizen of a Southern S:ate will act as collecrto of customs, send some one, of the many, from the North, who are anxious to go, and all customs will be collected . If the Federal Judges will not hold their offices under -Honest Old Abe," then our friendly neighbors in the South, will have to do without any Superior Courts. The North we are inclined to think, will not be disturbed much at a matter of this kind. There a great many Southero as well North ern Judges, who, if they would refuse to hold office, would confer a lasting favor up on the people. But let the South do as she may, in regard to Mr. Lincoln's election, the North will. pursue the even tenor of ber way,! wholly and entirely independent of a few Southern rebels. If there is an effort to re sist Mr. Lincoln' inauguration, the North wi!l repel that effort. If any one violates the laws of the Federal Government, the President will always have a sufficient amount of force at his command, to compel respect for the laws. If the obligations resting on each one of the separate States of this Union are sought to be shaken off, a Republican Administration will possess sufficient amount of energy to drive it Lack to its proper place in the confederation. The truth is, and the occurrences of each day proves it, that there is not the least disposition oo part of the great mass of the American people living in the Southern States, to resist, in any respect, a Republican Administration. Since the great States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have gone Republican, and the election of Mr. Lincoln is a fixed fact, the tone of the fire-eaters is less furious and more sensible. They are rather iuclined now to think, that an honest administration of this general government, can, possibly, be endured, or at least they will not dissolve it until there is an "overt" act on the part of the Republicans. As the Republicans do not desire a dislution of this Union, we incline to the opinion the South will be compelled to wait a long time, for the "overt" act. The following are some of the evidences of returning sense upon the part of the South. soirnxiff rxxuxa coxcxaxisa limcolx a ELXCTIOX. ICorrfspondeacs of the 5ew York World. NotFOLx, Va., Oct. 17.

Most, if not all of them, devoutly ptay for

Lincoln a cuccena, believing that la. his election they have an undoubted guarantee of another official term. Under Lincoln's administration it is presumed no Southern man would be ai applicant fr office, and of course no Xot hern man would have the temerity to accept office in -a Southero State, even if tendered to him. The odium which ac outsider would incur in the South by o.teitintr an omee end ac cepting it if offered le him. would not attach to the present incumbent, ioasmuch as be is io possession, and not, technically speaking, an applicant. In order to heigh ten this odium, and with a view, oo doubt to scare off all. tronblesome competors,many of the present lncambenta repudiate the idea of continuing id office under Lin coin's administration, when it is .well known that vers few of that claM through out the whole southern country eootem plate resigning. I have no doubt this pol icy will work well for the offlceholding tribes; for should any other of the candi dates now m the field be elecUd, they would have to encounter the usual quad rennial onslaught which makes the return of each presidettial election the terror of that hungry, voracious horde. The Mayoralty. We suppose as noon aa Mr. Patterson re ceives his commission as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, the office of Mayor which he now holds will be vacant by op eratioD of law. Another Mayor will then have to be elected, and who is to be the man Is a question excitiog public interest. The office of Mayor of the city of Tevre Haute if properly filled is one of much im portance and dignity. It is oneof respon sibility and influence and should be filled only by a nan of character, of gentlemanly deportment, of correct habits, of good earning and of a high sense of individual honor. Ifthecffice of Mayor is to be re garded as a sinecure a position. Indulged in by the incumbent at six hundred dollars per annum, and whose chief duty ia to draw his salary, thin the laciest and most inefficient man we can get, the better. But if the citizens of Terra Haute desire to have the chief officer of the city, to be in truth and in fact a Mayor, then they should look around them ar.d select, without regard to partisan preference, the right man. In all sincerity we must say, that our city government was never more iaefficient than now. We do not know of one single officer who discharges his wheloduty. There seems to be no activity an part of any of them. They get their pay and we the people know where it comes from. If our city government is to continue as it has been, it may become a question of public importance to consider the question of getting along without any. A thorough and efficient city government is certainly desirable, but an inefficient, lame, inactive and bungling one is a nuisance. Bat the voters in Terre ilaule are to blame more than the officers. Why not select better men ? Why place in important positions men whose only qualification is, that they may possibly exert a certain political influence. The city of Terra Haute has ar rived at that period in her history when she wants and ought to demand an able. efficient and active city government. Her prosperity can be advanced materially by inaugurating suah a system. Dismissing on this occasion all partisan feeling, our ajTice i,, that the electors of this city should select the proper men, to fill the important positions in their city govern ment - The Result In this Congressional District.

Hon. Schnyler Celfx.

We clip the following from the Missouri Democrat: The most popalar man in the Ninth Congressional District of Indiana, un doubtedly is its representative to Congress just elected for the third term. Mr. Colfax at each successive electiou, has been cho sen by an increased majority, and invari ably run ahead of his own ticket. In 185 the majority of the Republican State ticket in his own district was eight hundred whereas, his majority exceeded a thousand In '58, the same ticket had a majority in round numbers of fourteen hundred, and Lis rose to nearly two thousand. This year, Lane'a majority in the Ninth District is 3,250 and Colfax's, 3,500. Such uniform testimony for a period of six years, to the' popularity of a public man, among those who know him, is do doubtful criterion of his private and pub lic worth. Bat whoever is acquainted with Mr. Colfax, and the diligence, effic iency and zeal with which he has discharg ed bis duties as a member of Congress will aot be at all surprised at the renewed and increasing manifestations of regard and affection (of which he has' been the object) on the part of his constituents. No gentleman more conscientiously laborious has a seat io the Hou6eof Representatives, nor one who devotes himself more thor oughly to subjects of national importance. As chairman of the Committee on Post Of fices and Post Roada, he has exhibited an energy and enlightroent which would justify us in pronouncing him, young as he is, a proficient io genuine, practical states tnanship. The people of the Ninth District of Indiana nay, the whole State may well be proud of auch a Represents tive, and the Republican party of the West of auch a leader. iMDErXKDKNT OlDIE OF OoOD TeMFLABS.

Chicago Correspondent. Chicago, Oct. 22, 1860. Ma. Expikss: Although not a very punctual correspondent during the past summer, I have been no inattentive observer of the progress of events in Indiana. She has covered herself all over with glory, fully redeeming the pledges made in her behalf at the Chicago Convention. And now, as we stand at this mile-stone in the history ef our political progress, with mallet and chisel inscribing "lfcCO" upon' it, and just below the name of Absahau Lixcolx, we may profitably cast a look backward over the road we have traveled, and forward to that which lies before us, and note some of the signs of that progress. A revolution haa transpired in a first class political power, having thirty mil lions of people ! Such events are not wholly unknown in the world's history; but does that history furnish its parallel? In the days of Alexander, Caesar and Napo leon the powers of the earth did little bot "revolve." But these were revolutions offorce. Social revolutions also have occurred, by which an inferior or subject race has achieved its own emancipation. and has in turn, subjugated its oppress ors. Hot they, too, have been achieved by brute force. They furnish no parallel. This people by its own voluntary choice, without force or violence, has achieved a revolution in the form ef il$ civilization. The mission of the American people is the planting of empires. A little more than oi.e-half the territory we now own is organized into states. We are like the farmer well to do in the world, having a growing family, living on a well improved quarter section, but owning another adjoining, which is as yet unfenced and unbroken. lie intends that it shall be a home for the younger children, or those yet to be born, and now, while he has the power to do so he does what in him lies to prepare it for their future abode. This is what we as a nation are now doing with the unoccupied naif of our domain. There is such a thing in civilization, as ell as iu theory, as predestination. Whatever we may hold respecting this te net, in theology, all will agree, I presume, to the doctrine of free agency in civil pro gress.. If the faith of a Calvin involves an nexorable destiny thatof Calhoun does not. he teachings of the latter culminates in a decision of the Supreme Court. It embod ied his Dolilical philosophy, speculation iv . ..i;,w . ... n... i .... i . ' ' : ' .? : K " fact. Under us operation au tnis territory was preaesiinaiea to toe wraiu ana curse I ...J... I- iL J I f political condemnation. But the revolution that has transpired as reversed that decree, and the same ter ritory is now predestinatedto political salvation. The American people have de cided that in the form of civilisation which Is to prevail in these unborn empires there sno retrogression towards barbarism; but that the original American idea, that which gave vitality to the overturning of 1776 Is to be in the asceadant. They have decided that an inferior race either amalgamated with, or subjected to a superior is not a good thing. They have arrived at the coociugjol,t whether wisely or not, that com erce. art, science, literature and religion will be better promoted by its exclusion. The statesman who shapes his policy f the ot onlj ig DOt worthy the f , . , jt, "rae- He whe adoPU the don ' care policy touching those great movements continue their course while time lasts is wholly unfit tobe trusted with their direction. The people have found that fact in the verdict just render ed.

Forgery Chnsed tTp, On the day before the late election

Pennsylvania, an extra Harrisburg Patriot it Union was sowed broadcast over that Stale, containing what purported to bo speech lately delivered in Massachusetts by one John M. Wilson, a Lincoln Electa for said State said extract consisting of the most beastly and scurrilous abuse 0 our fellow cititcens of Irish or German birth. S coarse and ioul an exhibition of sheer blackguardism we do not remem ber elsewhere to have read; and. as Gen Henry Wilson, TJ. S. Senator from Massa chusetts, was advertised to sneak at Hones dale the night before that election, the Ge mens and Irish were privately assured that m was the ilson who had made this bra tal speech I We took occasion to expose the forercrv showing that there was no John M. Wilson on the Lincoln Electoral ticket in Massa chusetts no person of that name bei or anown 10 me itepuDiicans or that State. And. as we understood that the Conrrier cea ktats Unis had Riven thia vile forzerv currency among the French-speaking pop ulation 01 tne enure union, we called on that paper to retract and atone for the in justice it bad done. In reply, the Courrier insisted that the speech in question waa actually made by a Republican. not by a "Lincaln Elector lor Masxactnsetts. however, but by some one in IndUna. We hapoen now to hare tne evidence required to refute the fabrics. tion in that form. We copy the following letter irom me last si. Joseph Valley Register, edited by the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, ju. u, and published at South Bend, Indi ana : Softh Bend, Ind., Oct. 10, 18G0. DxaaSim: 1 notice in last Saturday's Forum, a speech purporting to have been delivered at Salem, Indiana, in 1855, by John M. Wilson, which contains a number of scurrilous and insulting attacks on foreigners, aod which pretended speech is be ing used by me Democrats to array our Adopted Citizens against the Republican party. The same publication was made by the Democratic papers of this State in 1853. I was at that time a candidate for State Treasurer; and happened to beat Salem (the very town in which this speech was alleged to have been made.1 on the day that thia same John M. Wilson spoke there. In the very town where it is charged that he made this speech in 1855, Mr. Wil. son branded it as a vile foreerv. aod a wicked fabrication of political opponents. He also said that he eaw before him in that crowded assemblage, hundreds of both parties who had heard his speech in 1855, and he challenged any man of any partv to rise up and say before them that he had uttered any such sentiments as those ascribed to him. Not a man denied hi$ ttatement. On the contrary, a number of the most respectable citizens there made affi davits, which were published at the time, testifying that they had beard the whole tthe speech, and that it contained no auch sentiments whatever. There can be no doubt that it was a vile forgery, gotten upior political enect; ana wmcn thus ex posed, and branded as it was on the very spot, every honorable man should be ashamed to revamp again for political ends. - Yours truly, JOHN. H. HARPER. Need we add one word ? It seems that the speech which this Mr. Wilson who was never a member of Congress or otherwise eminent actually did make, aod which serves as the foundation for this for gery, was made at Salem, Ind., in 1855 that the forgery upon him now circulated obtained currency in 1853 and that this Mr. Wilson spoke in that year at that very Salem where this abusive speech was aleged to have been made, and then aod there solemnly and publicly denied that he ever uttered any such aspersions on Adopted Citizens, and dared any one to contradict him, which no one saw fit to do; on the contrary, several respectable citi zens of both psrties united in testifying that the speech he actually did make there a 1855 contain d none of the offensive sentiments attributed to him in the forgery then and now so atrociously circulated. I How long will Adopted CiHrens be duped by forgeries like that here exposed? Mm 1 How long will the Courrier des Etats Unis end itself to such base uaesl For, be sure that so long as lorgery can be made profitable, Sham Democracy will persist in it. A. Y. Tribune.

A Lick at the Irish. The Democracy have repeatedly nominated Irishmen to conciliate the Irish vote, and then beaten their own nominee to conciliate the Know Nothing spirit among the natives." In thia city they have done it repeatedly, as more than one of them can testify, and has testified with bitterness of soul. Our friend Ryan is a battered monument of Democratic duplicity in this re spect. The only election he ever got was from Republicans. Hut his friend, and our friend, too, we think, Cornelias O'Brien is quite as conspicuous an illustration of this Democratic dislike of foreigners. 1

John Browniam We ask the voters "of Indiana to remem ber. that when Old John' Brown, the man who attempted to cause an insarrectiou among the slaves of Virginia, was hung, that the present Republican leaders were tolling the bells in all the prit-cipal churches of the North, and Rev. Divines preached eloquent funeral sermons, in honor to the martyr of freedom, as they styled the insurrectionist, John Brown Remetober that the Republican politicians applauded this same John Brown to the skies, as being equal and some of them superior in the cause of freedom, to Oeoree Wahinir. tl. r-.v I l: ' 0 ft v.u. kuc i.uicr 01 eis country. Remember that the entire Republicaa press and Republican orators, endorse the John Brown raid apon the State of Virginia, and then, if you are for each things vote for Abe Lincoln and the Republican party.

IN 0 Republican ever applauded John Brown No Republican paper endorses, or ever did endorse Brown's raid npoo the 8 Ute of Virginia. An editor must be lost to all sense of truth or decency to write such un mitigated falsehoods. He can't expect even the most ignorant Democrat to believe such stuff. ITT Keep it before the reonle that Lin. coin is in favor of negro equality that is as far as the sentiments declared ia the Declaration of Independence can make a man s wten they are applied to the negro race. ceep it oeiore the yeople that Lincoln says be is as much of an Abolitionist as any man in the country. 1 hese charges can all be proven by his rn laniruatre. Remember these thinira when you vote. Sullivan Democrat. The above is another speciman of Dem ocratic mendacity and is an evidence of the base policy to be pursued by the Democratic press for the next ten days. It well becomes men whose party ia chiefly en gaged in illicit practical amalgamation with their own slaves to prate of negro equality. Whence came the 80,000 mulattoes in Virginia, the C0.000 in Mississippi, and the hundreds of thousands in the other slave states. These gentlemen shoud call to mind their favorite R. M. Johnson, his black wife and yellow 'girls, before they charge negro equality upon men who are laboring to prevent this abominable Democratic practice of amalgamation, by separating the races, and preventing the spread ofthat system of which amalgamation is almost a necessary consequence.
