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."

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.

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.

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. ArkitntM t'allforala OortrtCUout. Uelnware Florida (t-o'Kln Illinois Indium!

Since lire union perfected at Syracuse has been «o unanimously and enthusiastical ly ratified hy lire honest conservative men of tire State, the Republicans admit that Nctv \ orb is lohp the principal battle-field where thn contest is to be J.oiJ..,l this Fsll Their presses, which have heretofore af fected to look upon tho content a* already decided so far as tips Ffiata ia concerned, and have a-sured llreir followers that they vould walk over the field victoriously, with- ut even a scratch to remind them of th* onfitcl, hnvo changed their cry Lion® of despair, nnd are endeavoring, hy all thn mean# in their power, to infuse irepn ami lifo into their di-heartenod and wavering ranks.

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.
