We promised tho Enquirer
•ince to look into Mr. Bell’s record to ns-
certain it he believed Congreve li.-id the pow
er to abolieh slavery in the Territories.
This was an ossertion of the Richmond En
quirer copied without comment into the
Times. We find .Mr. Bell acknowledging
the power ui Congress to abolish slavery in
the District <»f Columbia; a power denied
by the South. We find him voting wiih

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—

to ail Territory North ol the line

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

one of his speeches, n willingness to see the

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

tuits as unconstitutional and unjust towards
tbe -South, though long acquiescence made
it dangerous to repesl it, as it was regarded

sections. Still, if ho believed that the
8outh cvuld then by gain Kxnsas and lu-

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.”

announced that Sen-
Green, of Missouri, in the late election
supported tho Douglas State ticket, and we
regarded it ns an indication that he intend
ed to support Douglas hintscll in Novem
ber. 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-
