Wo repeat there ia no ie.-uo of diaeolution in the
platfoim ol any party before the country. We
mpeat that when Lincoln is declared elected we
rhall appeal to the “peoplo to tvdrovs their
gnevauve ” We repeat all that we have ever
aid that means resistance to Black Kopubl can
rule—from first In las;.
Toe omission of one simple word in our last
odiioria) doubtleta lod lo this mistake o| the
Enquirer; that wo have taken a position of
re ictance one day and retracted tho next.
W« intruded saying that thru© whe wrro
willing to live under a Republic ju Uov« romout
wo would ho« that they "are not hung up as
lories and traders.” Meaning thereby, ihat wo
vhonovocatod Toslstnm'o and wmi'd not snb«
mil to the rule of a sections 1 President at war
with cur institutions, would snvo our recreant,
•rring, timid brothers ol the South from being
treated as the lories were during the revolution.
Will the Enquirer put us right 7 Ain't this
plain enough 7—Timtt.
Yes, plain enough ! We understand you
exactly, and will havo no difficulty in find*
ihg your position if you will only ftick to it.
But if you to-morrow toll us that in the
above article you vrero only ex pressing your
*•belief what tho election of o Black Re
publican President would bring upon the
country, and that is ail'’—if you go on lo
express doubts whclher "tho issue is trer
made of the election of a Republican at a
cause for dissolution”—we shall again think
ihat you arc bsulir.g down the revolutionary
fisg and running up the old “stars and
stripes.”
You are, ilien, 'Tor dissolution in the
event ol the election of a Republican Pres*
id»-ni M —you are "not going to wail for an
overt net of hggression before resisting."
Then, as you and your party avow this
delerniinAtiun, how do you make it out that
Incro is “no is.-uo of dissolution” bcloro
the country 1 There ts such an issue, and
you huvu ruado il—yuu, Uobb, Toombs, </
ut. We do not doubt at ull that yuu would
t«*.t'v • ,*fer that wo tliuulJ my nothing
about it jc-t ih.w—that w vnu
go on concocting your revolutionary p. .< s
in tho back gruuml until after the l ro-i-
deatia! election. Perhaps you would iven
Ilka to borrow a lew "dark lut.U,i>«” i. m
••bam" lo aid you in thia priv.ilo wn't—
cspicinlly ua the great hotly ol tlia nutcral-
ixed cit.xaua are uo lougoi yourullus. We
know precis*ly what you mean by the
sphorisui “bufiicient unto tho day is t|i<
evil theroul.” But wo ncollect arioll.oi
timely mnxmi—"forewurned, foreatrovd”—
and wo intend to appeal to .the people
to dcpnvo you of all power for initcbiei 1 iourgio, w
"hvlure the evil day cometh.”
But wo would like to ho belter'Hjf.uimtd
n« to tho form ami manner of the revolution '
let Dior, rntw Afraid tf aoouiuj,
VY« did uot hear Senator Toombs’ speech j
in this city, and of course micmptrd no
report of it. One or two Breckinridge
Democrats expressed to us dimtisfaction
at its disunion sentiments, but us wo were
absent for several days alter its delivery, we
did not even allude to these protasis from
his friends. Tho only reports of the tone
and temper of that speech, therefore, were
made by the presses of ibis eiiy favorable
to tireckinrh!(V('. These reports have slstm-
rd some of the friends of Brcckirfridgo in
other portions of the btntc—they protest
against thus early mailing a demonstration
iu Uvor of a dissolution of the Union in
tho event of the election of Lincoln, and
warn Uio indiscreet admirers of Mr. Toombs
of tho impolicy of such n course. The
Titn• s* editorials of the early part of lost
week no doubt still farther alarmed them.
But our neighbor had the sagacity to see
its error in good lime, and wo prcsuoio that
its articles of and since last Saturday morn
ing will convince them of its prudence as
wdl as its valor. Unlurtuiintoly for the
parly, Mr.Toombs is more headstrong, and
Cobb went back lo Washington and made
his revolutionary report be font these reac
tionary demonstrations wciu made. The
cat thut was “let »-Ut of 'iio bag,” thcrofore,
cannot be wholly concealed or disguieed by
s resort to tho "meal tub.” The form sin'
proportions of the treacherous mouser are
distinctly revealed, notwithstanding tho
white garb of innocence it list* assumed.
We copy from tho Southern Advocate,
a Breokiniidge paper of Brunswick, the
following protest against Mr. Toombs'
speeches before the btate Convention und
in this city:
“There may lie, nnd doubilces nrrf, dil
unionists in our ranks who wi
could by lheir voice urn! votes,!
solution to thunder b rill and idungo the
whole country into civil wur. Tor wliai ?|

The Louisville Democrat says that if the
Breckinridge voters of the South could on
ly listen to half-a-dozen Black Republican
■ perches in Indiana and Illinois, they
would be brought lo their senses nnd cured
of any sympathy for the cause of their fa
vorite. It gives tho following account of
the Black Kupublicaii mode ol conducting
tho canvass oil the slump :
“Having poured out uM tlirir ttrnsured
billii'gsgnie upon iho Souili and upon Dung-
lav, they must Inunch nut into a oology up
on ilicr twin saints, Lincoln and Brrckin-
ridge. It is a matter litt!c whorl ol u mira
cle, iu iheircycs, that such a man n* John
C. Breckinridge should have been burn and
reared in a slave Stuie. In fuel, a stiangei
who knew nothing id tho present position
ol parties would bo at loss t" know which
was their caudidato, Lincoln or Orcckin

'the jackals at the distance of half a mile,
sneaking along towards the village, when u
parly of Brinpassies, passing by, slopped
to wafer their bullocks at the tank. They
loi.ered for some lime ; slid, becoming itn-

in iny hand, and walked toward them, tell

which they started ©IV immediately.
I was sauntering back lo my post, never
dreaming of danger, when the shikaree gave
u low whistle, ami at ilia same moment u

with Mr. Pillmoro snd B. II. Hill, that
under a Black Republican Administration
it will he extremely difficult, if not impoesi-
hie, to prevent eucb collisions bi-tween tho
eeclione as will force a separation (and this
we uodeisland lo be the extent to which
they h-vo gone in their speeches end loiters
to which the Times refers) ; hut we rxpccl
in those conflicts to havo right on our ride
that our people will he united sud reso
lute in maintaining their violated Consti
tutional rights, and prepared to maintain
them effectively, A very dtffcreut thing is
revolutionary resistance to the will of the
people constitutionally expressed ; the
people of tho Mouth will not bsvo right on
their side in such a movement, and they
cannot he united in its support.

Judge Douglas at Italrigli.
We find in Ilia Oreenshorough, N. 0.,
Patriot a Iflegraphic dispatch to It. P. Dick,
Esq., from Hon. 6. A, Douglas, announcing
that ho will attend the Douglas Mlate Con
vention to be held in Raleigh on the 30th
inat. We may expect a very large crowd
on tha occasion, and that Douglaa will then
and there open the canvass in earnest.
On Douglas' last visit tj Raleigh, some
twelve or fourteen years ago, he taught the
Democracy how to carry the Mlate—he
advised them to oppose the Senatorial pro
perty qualification, and told them truly that
by tusking litis the issue they could obtain
control ot rite Mlate Government. Ho will
now assist them in drawing a division of
tha party that will assuredly give the Slate
again to the Opposition, from whom il w»#
so unfairly alienated. Thus the chief in
stigator of the former wrong will be the
chief instrument of remedying it. Amen.
“The feelings and senaibtUtias nt the
North demand that the slave trade ahoitid t*
a’bjlished at the seat ol the National Gov
ernment. ” .
So said Mr. Bell. But are the rights, th*
■acred rights ol Southern men to yield to
the leelings and sensibilities at tho^North 1
No! Mr. Bell immediately sdded that
the provision* of the bill should ba adapted
to “th* feeling* and prejudice! of tha Boulh”i
and because they were not so adapted, and
because tba bill provided for tbs emancipa
tion of negroes brought into the District by
trader*, Mr. Bell voted aguinst it. But
this you havs overlooked (
r* r II is announced by Kentucky papers
that lion. John G. Breckinridge will address
s mass meeting in that Mists. A Presiden
tial candidate stumping for himself was
never heard of bsfore ibis canvass; but
Breckinridgt's chances are desperate in
Kentucky, and be will make a desperate
effort to carry at least hi* own Mists. If be
comes within 25,000 ol saving it, we shall
have to acknowltdge that hia lobots have
boon attended with seme success.

But Hrcrclury Cobb, traYclling in com

the esmo rostrums, received such a»*urstircs
that ho fell authorized, on his return to
Washington, lo report that Georgia was
with Toombs in thl* matter atid would gel
up a revolution in the event ol Ihe triumph
of a certain petty in tho Presidential elec
tion. *1*1*o Washington correspondunt of
the Charleston Courier (both the corres-
pondent slid the paper fur Breckinridge)
wrote: “Mccrelary Cobb bus returned'front
Georgia. In conversation, he candidly
states that Georgia is in favor of secession
in tho event, rtotu certain, of Lincoln's
election. There cannot bo touch dooht of
this.” Mr. Toombs, also, spoke aguin in
Augusta on Saturday night, ami will no
doubt continue speaking, and we have nol
yit heard tliut thu ‘‘big senro” that has ter
rified the Advocate and made other Breck
inridge papers lake water instead of fire,
has in the least frightened hint from Ins
position. He cannot tvcll retreat, after
having called out tho demonstrations thut
satiffied Cobb that Georgia would resort to
revolution in tbo event named. The .Slate
of Georgia, therefore, has to choose between
lire Union on the ono side am) Toombs'
speeches and Cobb's pledges on the oilier.

Tho Times boasts lit-*' Breckinridge will
“break up the unholy alliance between
Douglas and Bell” ill Kentucky, at the
Presidential election, end thus carry the
Mlate, because Dougins and Bell will each
have a separate ticket. Tho intimation ia
that tho Douglas and Bell men elected
Couibe the other day by a fusion. Every
body knot's, however, that they “each hid
•* aeparato ticket” in thia flection alto, and
that tho Douglas candidate received about
12,000 voles. Now, if anybody hero had
asked the Times, or ar.y Breckinridge sup
porter, before lire late election, how many
Douglas men there were in Kentucky,
would one of them have admitted that there
were as many os 12,0001 Nol one. And
if there are more than 12,000 Douglas men
in Breckinridge's own Mtete, what possible
chance can the Liter have lo carry a single
Southern Mtete, where no foiling "I 8me
pride operates to unite the Democratic putty
in his support 7
But let us look at this matter to another
light. Tho Ur II and Douglaa candidates,
in the recent election, received 70,001 voles
in tho counties heard from, und the Breck
inridge candidate 38,950. Now, divide tire
Bell end Douglaa vote eijuully between two[
candidates, und il will he found that each ! place that the Douglas Convention .moots!

Oregon, their candidates would rucoive 183
electoral votes. As 162 are neceussry tu a
choice, tho loss of thirty-two votes would
defeat them. If. they fail to carry N*w
York, which casts thirty-five voles, Lincoln
cannot he elected. Seventeen of (he States
nm MOM-represented in-tho )., w , r U- u »m of
Congress, tn which the election will go, if
no ono candidate receives 152 electoral
votes, are pledged against a Northern sec-
tionsl candidate. The Ioms of New York,
involving us it Jnc* the certain defeat Y)f
their party in the Union, has caused tire
Republican Press to take alarm and tremble
as if lu the ngonirs of dissolution at the
union of the honest nnd conservative mas
se* of tho people aguinst them, and to cry
out with tho bitter nets of expiring Uoje.
It having thus been settled that New
York is the the battlu field which mu*t ho
won ky the Republicans if they are to olect
their candidates, fit ua oxamin® the field ua
to the prospects of lire cm test. New York
tins never been Republican hy the ch ice of
it mtij oily of its citizens. As rabidly sec-
linriiil and corrupt as lias been its govern
ment for (ho •*«( four years, it ha* been tho
government of * minority. In i860, when
the Republicans cast lire heaviest vote tlrey
ever had in the Slate, Mr. Fremont lacked
nearly 60,000 of a majority. In 1857 the
Republican purty lost their Mccrstsry of
fStnto und some other candidates by ifreir
not rnr»'ivin*» « plurality. I„ 1868 Gov.
Morgan received tret 17 438 votes nvr*
than Judge Parker, tho l'em«crattc candi
date, and wit* Hurled Hga'iist tl>® wtshe* of
u majority of 48.012 of thn voters of lire
State, in i860 the Republican candidates
were largely defeated by but a partial union
"i tire Demncruls und thn conservative
Union men nt the American party. I’lrese
ficisiind figures prove inciintestihly. ns wo
stated above, that the Empire Htalc is not
now, and oevur has been, a Black Republi
can rstutu hy the choice of a majority of its
citizens.

If our cotomporary will tako up the files
of tho Patriot for thu current year, and ex
amine thu impression of Juno 2J, ho will
find thut we huvu already, in nn artielo on
Mr. BelPs record, republished tho passage
of his speech containing d o extract to
which our attention ia called.
Wo commend tho careful reading of that
article to thu Union and American. It will
help our cotuinporary to form a cornet
opinion—something lie lias not yet done—
ol the position ul Mr Be l on the subject of
slavery, nnd tho consmutionnl rights of tho
Mouth. It shows—
1. That Mr. Bull, with Jeff Davis, in I860,
voted to repuri tire Mexican laws, prohibit
ing slavery, which Air. Cass and other
statesmen declared were in (urea in tha
territories acquired from .Mexico, und thus
remove that obsiaclo to lire enjoynreiit by
(he slaveholder of his constitutional rights
of property in the suid territories.
2. That he desired to extend the Missou
ri Compromise lino to (ho Psuilio. with tho
provision that the territory Mouth ol it
should be slave territory ; und tltui lie be
lieved tills measure could havo been car
ried had it been insisted upon by the South
ern members ol Congress.
3. That, in settling riio questions which
then divided the oun ry, ire wished, ns a
part of any compromise, a distinct provision
th.il any additional slave stares which
might b" tornre'l out ot Texas, as author
ized in rite annexation resolutions, should
bu admitted into rite Union without any
further legislation on the part of Congresn
—thus placing it out of rite power of rite
Northern majority to delay or hinder their
ndmisston the nioinunt thev slrmld be rea
dy to take their places in tho Union.
4. That lie regarded the Wilmot Proviso
as a measure justly obnoxious to the Mouth.
5. That, in his opinion, me conaututbm,
proprio vigore. protec's, in rite territories,
the recognised property of citizens ; whilst
in unother portion ol the speech Irom which
tlte Union and American's citation is made,
lie declares tho constitution recognizes slave
property.

—Wo have recetv*d a gri st many letters
