THE ALARM.

From every exchange on our table, we see notices of the simultaneous and unanimous movement of the people of Texas, upon the announcement of the late Presidential election.  At various points in the State, the Banner of the Lone Star floats proudly in the breezes of Heaven, indicative of the will and desire of our people to assert their independence, rather than remain in vassalage and a State of dependent inequality under a Black Republican rule.  We hear on all sides the notes of preparation—military companies are forming—the drum and the fife arc calling the clans together to that pibroch of liberty—“Equality in the Union, or Independence out of. it.”  We hear of mustering squadrons in all parts of the South, and whole districts and States placing themselves upon a war basis.  And why is all this?  Not because we are menaced by a foreign foe, but because of traitors at home—because those whom we have looked upon as brothers, refuse to render us our just rights under the Constitution.  It is a defensive movement on our part against domestic enemies; and the resistance we are making is unlike that of any other people; for we would maintain our liberties and our rights against the wishes of those who dwell with us under the same roof.
