a disunion meeting in Alabama.
Marion, Ala., Nov. 17.
A meeting was held in Marion to-day by the citizens of Perry county, for the purpose of drafting resolutions which should go forth as the expression of their feelings in regard to Lincoln's election.
The meeting was large, and a solemnity pervaded the audience which I never witnessed before.
Every body was interested, and all parties belonging to the South were represented.
The meeting was addressed by ministers of the Gospel belonging to the different denominations and the various parties, who never before appeared upon the political arena, but whose love of justice and whose love for the dear ones at home, could not be stifled or cradled in silence.
They spoke their sentiments freely, and their voices were for disrupting this Union, and having our rights as citizens of a Southern Confederacy.
Men of all professions and avocations of life harmonized their voices in the common call for Southern rights, or the secession of the sovereign States.
The secession feeling was so prevalent that it is my serious opinion there were not six dissenting voices in an audience of fifteen hundred persons, and were such a thing possible, Perry county would secede whether Alabama did or not; but there seems to be little doubt as to the course Alabama will take in this matter before the 4th of March next.--She will be out of this Union without the least shadow of a doubt.
The resolutions, presenting the most urgent necessity for secession, were passed by the meeting, after long and serious deliberations. V. M I.
