Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, made to hu chief and his party at Washington af ter his electioneering lour through Georgia, link in tho chain of proof that tho organizing a disunion movement in the event of Breckinridge’s defeat now, thank God ! no longer a ques« tion of speculation. Should Lincoln be elected, the banner of disunion is to be raised before bis inauguration ; but should Bell or Douglas auccotd, the disunionisls intend to pursue the same course that they pursued when Taylor became President— j wait a little while for some frivolous excuse h. .—ruon, which Ihc Tima r-mni.,d prcdic.led upon .omo penJin, me..u.. of u.

We find Inm advocating (ho doctrine that one should wait until tlie Inst moment before vetoing a Territorial bill containing the Wilmol proviso, thereby implying that Congress possesses the power, the exercise oi it being determined by ihe circumstances o( the case. What answer has our coient* porary to this record, and bow for does it commit Mr. Bell to the charge ot the Rich* wood Enquirer t—Times. Libit slavery in tho Territories. We hove ciltd asveial occasions on which, by speech and vote, he distinctly and emphatically dmh'-d to Congress any such power, and we hato rrpeatedly calLd upon it, in vain, to name n single occasion on which Mr. liell ever claimed »uch power for Congress. Its return! or delay to make the promised retraction is therHr.ro inexcusable; and such a supple dodge aa the above to avoid it only makes ita conduct worse. Mr. /fell, though lie admitted that ho hitntelf was inclined to concede tho right to Congrrss to uboli.h slavery hi tho Dis trict (at the same lime adding that drfer- to be de tc.min.J by tho turn of tho PreoiilentUI election. But tho Hon. Howell Cobb has greatly mistaken the sentiment of the peoplo of Georgia. There is among our people, of course, an “irrepressible” aversion lo the election of Lincoln, and a goneral appre hension that his Administration would pursue a course that muat lead to a diarup- fi° n between tho North and the South But onr people are not going to make his simple election a cause of revolution. They do not regard tho election of any man, hold ing any politic#! or religious opinions, a i to the opinions of other Southern nu n justifiable cause for revolutionary rtfsist- trained him to distrust hu own resvon- I once ; but they uro firmly resolved to resist on this question), uever did lav.-r any ony measures of aggression upon their ■••d, in j riglils which any Administration may car ry through, no matter what may be tbo generul political opinions or associations of the President. We believe more —wo helm vc that they will resist, under any oth er than a President supported by and giv ing offices to tho fiie-oolcrs, any gen eral system of Administration as inimical l> tho South as that of Buchanan has been. But tho attempt to orgauizo a revolution because a majority of (he people choose to elect any man to tbo Presidency will be n most signal and disgraceful failure in Georgia. I hot this is the grnoral sentiment of our o ubol- ° wn «re perfectly convinced ; and, do Say, | l,,u ^ ou 8 ,a * Democratic Convention lug measuio iur Its abollli one of his speeches, n willingness to see the ■cant remnant of slavery hi the Distnc abolished, if thereby be could secure to the (South guaranties worth infinitely tnoro to her than her loss by such a aacrificD. But he would not agreo to it without ample compensation, slid this the North would not give—so lie never supported any bill having such on object in view. The power of Congtess over slavery in the District bus no connection whatever with its power over the same subject in tho Territories—tho grants in the constitution uro wholly differ ent. Wo do not (though tho Times un fairly so charged us a Kw days ago) con tend that Congress his tho povvei ieti * lavery in the District; hut w a- we said u week ag », tlx.it tho 1) pirty is committal to that doc support'd M in tin Van Uureti If idui.cy in 1830, when ho him nounCou during the c anvass that li deny ibis right to Congie*s ; and it supported h r the l’rcsti.enc Uucbuuan, who has never den power to Congress—the Times parlrctpa. ting in his support.

Still, if ho believed that the 8outh cvuld then by gain Kxnsas and lu- tute se.unty in the Union, be would waive all bis objections lo tho bill and vole lor it—squatter sovereignty, alien suffrage, and a violation ol Indian treaties ii eluded. He was willing, though distrustful, to vote lor • simple repeal ot tho Missouri Compromise, hut that did not constrain him to accrpt the bill with tho objections above named. The Wisdom ol his counsels hst since been so fully vindicated, that many Southern Ditnocrslt now admit that tho bill as pass ed was a disastrous one to the South. H n- ator Iverson aaid in his Griffin speech : “ 1 he loss of Kansas to the South was the legiti mate and inevitable fruit of tho “iquatier sovereignty” elements of the Ksnsus-Ne- brtska bill, as construed and enforced by its Northern authors and friends.” And Mr. Bell declared, in bis speech on tbo bill, that he acquiesced in its chief principle ol non-intsrvrruion, and “differed with his Southern friends only ss to tbo results ol tbe measure.” This record, therefore, instead of “c tho 1st mcratic j ul ^'llidgiville, u dnclaialiun to tho same m. h purport by W.

But we perceive that both he end Sen ator Polk have now taken another tack. A dispatch from St. Louis, dated Aug. I4\h, stales that in that morning’s Bulletin Sen ators Green and Polk published a catJ de claring that (bo Douglas party bad repudia ted the arrangement upon which they pro posed lo uuilo tho party, and theicforo call ing a stiaight Bieckimidgo convention, to bo held on the 80lh of September, “to re vise tho electoral ticket,” which now con tains tho nurnes ol both Douglas nnd Breck inridge men. It is therefore inevitable that two Democratic electoral tickets will bo run in Missouri (there his heretofore been but one in tbe field,) and that a num ber of prominent Democrats who support- od tbo Douglas Slate ticket in Ihc Into elec tion will go for Breckinridge. This en courages ua lo Itopo tbut the miserable Breckinridge votu of four or five thousand in Auguel will ba quadrupled in November, and tho State thus secured lor Boll und Ev- erclt.
