IV, have only time, before going to press to that the Executive Committees of the •• i and Everett ami Douglas and Johnson j : < met in this city this morning, to con ' Ur the proposition for a fusion of “all parties j ’ « "tate for the good of the country.” But, ; - they were not met by the Committee of the • . .r >ige and Lane party, they deemed it line to make any alteration in the Tickets | t«"W before the people of Georgia. The following is the address adopted by j i .« Committee of the Constitutional Union . I‘arty.— Atlanta .1 mcrican. Here follow two doleful address from the Bell I an J Douglas Executives, in which they throw the * of Fusion-killing entirely upon the Breckinridge Democrats. The Bell men rend their garments in holy horror and indignation! They demand of the people— Will you sustain a party which has deliber ately preferred strife to harmony, and division to unite? Will you endorse and perpetuate the reign of party discord? M di you select for your leaders distractors »f a common country--disturbers of the public ! i—devotees at the shrine of animosity and ' t; nal hatred, and persistent agitators of . stions which, they themselves admit, areas L-0.-. ('onutittttion/H >ball politicians still gamble fur spoils on sinking body of a bleeding Union, whose wounds their own hands have made, and which their own continued folly would widen and deepen unto death? And shall such men find si the people their defenders, and at the Ballot box their justification ? The Douglas men being democrats and ac customed to plow a xtraight furrow in politics, can't play holy indignation, and content thetn seives with a simple apology for the failure, and ssiy t “But we met no such response from the Ex ecutive Committee and from the leaders of the Brv kinridge party. To appeal to them for a union of hearts, and a union of hands, tor united ranks and harmonious action, is repudia ted and rejected. We found no one in Atlanta authorized to speak for their party and ready to plight to us the hand of fellowship and fra ternity. ’ Now there is a curious secret history to this coalition movement in Georgia—what is it? Will anyone furnish it? We know a little not worth telling, and might rationally conjec ture * good deal more. Was it intended to end just as it done, in order, if possible, to en list against the Breckinridge men the feeling ol uneasiness, excitement and apprehension which | is believed to exist in some degree among the people? We think so. For, first, we do not imagine a single sensible man of either party ! could have discovered merit in the proposition itself. It could effect nothing. Second, the proposition has long before been agitated, con sidered, and rejected by the Bell men. Third, they knew well enough, before they went to At lanta, that the Breckinridge party would have nothing to do with it. Fourth, if they really wanted to/iwe, why did they not do it to the extent practicable ? Here is a family of three brothers summoned to waive their differences under plea of the pressure of some common cal amity. Two of them meet, but finally resolve to keep their own quarrels open, because the third don’t come in ! Why not agree to the extent practicable ? Now the Breckinridge men did not go into this movement, because (1.) It was manifestly too late to accomplish anything by moral influ ence on the North, where the only danger of Lincoln’s election exists. (2.) At home it could not effect the question a hair’s breadth, one w’ay or the other. None of us will vote for Lincoln, and why, then, should the Breckin ridge men waive an acceptable candidate in fa vor of those not acceptable. (8.) The Breckin ridge electors, without any pledge at Atlanta or elsewhere, will cast their vote for any man who can beat Lincoln, if their own cannot do it. (4.) As for the proposed union as likely to in crease unanimity of opinion in the State upon any redressive course in event of Lincoln's elec tion, they have no faith in it. New proposi tions will then be before the people, upon which new issues will be raised, and new positions taken. The idea that a fusion upon three can didates is to result in a fusion upon the meas ures to be adopted in event of the election of a fourth, is neither logical nor sound. We must agree, if agree we can, upon measures to be pro posed, when the condition of things calling for them shall have happened. The Breckinridge men will accept the respon sibility of killing a fusion proposed to be accom plished seven days before the election. elecitoTtick ETS. We urge our Iriends in all portions of the State to provide themselves with an ample sup ply of tickets in time for the election. We are prepared to supply all orders at three dollars per thousand. The order must be ac companied with the cash. All orders for less than one thousand will be supplied at fifty cents per hundred. COL. JACKSON IN MACON. Col. Henry R. Jackson addressed the Breck inridge Democracy in overwhelming numbers last evening in Mulberry Street. It is too late to say more, but the well known eloquence of Judge Jackson received no ordinary stimulus in the events of the day. From the Mail of the 29th. SENATOR TOOMBS AT MONTGOMERY. The scene within was not only beautiful to a citizen of Montgomery, most gratifying.— There was the splendid auditorium of our large and elegant Theatre, completely packed from parquette to dome, with gentlemen and ladies —packed as was never public building before, in this lively, bustling little city. From the stage the view was superb; the dress circle particularly “made profert” of our ladies in their brightest, most numerous and goodly ar ray. We are not surprised that the coup cfteil inspired Col. Toombs with some of his most llashingly eloquent sentences. It might have stirred a much smaller and colder heart than the great Georgian carries in his bosom. It was not two minutes after Col. Toombs commenced, before he was completely en rap port with his audience. He felt it, as his easy “swing”—in his narrative of “the first sixty years” of the government, testified. It was most graphically done—that narrative of South ern power and Southern moderation contrasted with Northern rapacity. And it had conclu sive effect, with many minds in that audience. It furnished the speaker with the armory and arsenal from which he subsequently drew all the weapons and ammunition he so successful ly used against the enemies of the South.— This portion of the speech was received with an earnest silence, slightly broken at times by applause which showed the irrepressible feel ing beneath. Col. Toombs said nothing, when he came to speak of the Bell and Douglas parties—or per haps, party is the more proper designation— which could wound any gentleman connected : with it. A few slashes showed the insufficien cy of the Bell platform ; and he gave Douglas’ territorial notions a rapid dissection, which was so satisfactory to the audience, that they for got entirely the President’s admonition against appplause. From this time forth, audience and speaker seemed alike enthused; and until the last word of the speech, the cheering was j frequent and deafening. Especially was every thing most cordially received, in relation to the duty of Southern men to resist in case of Lin coln’s election. On this point, there seemed to be a most wonderful unanimity—which must have been highly giuliiymg to the speak er. The peroration of Col. Toombs lasted about fifteen minutes; and gentlemen of high criti cal powers, tell us that they never listened to any thing more powerful, effective or brilliant The speaker was himself carried away, and pa cing the stage from one side to the "other, he threw shell and rocket and ball into the camp of Submission, until it was utterly obliterated. 1 hose fifteen minutes contained the utterances of genius; they will long he remembered bv the two thousand persons who heard what was spoken in them—how the flashing sentences fol lowed each other, like the sharp fire from the mouths of a battery—how triumphantly he wound up his appeal to the true hearts of the South, in words borrowed from the poet: ! “Nail her old colors to the mast. Set every tatttered sail. And give her to the God of battle and of storms The lightning and the gale The Toombs Ovation was a grand one. Above we have only slightly touched some of the in cidents. We shall not try to convey an idea of the unprecedented enthusiasm which, to us, was its most memorabl? feature. A School Committeemax Disposkd of. —A sub-committee of a school board were examin ing a class in a primary school.

The committee man - I turned red in the face, while the other members f I roared aloud. THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1860. Hon. Wm. L. Yancey - in Ohio—A Scene.— Hon. Mm. L. Yancey delivered his first Ohio ■ speech in the Opera House, in Cincinnati, on the night of the 20th inst. The building was packed in ten minutes after the doors were open. The papers ralate the followig incidents, which occurred during the evening: Mentioning hemp as one of the products of the South, he said they intended to keep a good stock of it on hand. “Wbat for ?” asked a Republican. “To hang you gentlemen who come down South to steal our slaves!” The retort called for great cheering. At an other time he said: “Some of your papers remarked to-<iay that the farce of disunion would be enacted upon this stage to night. 1 love this Union. The heroism of our common ancestry, the blood they shed in the cause of freedom, our mutual pros perity demands it. But if the Union is to be sustained by trampling upon the Constitution and oppressing my section because it is the weaker, then (folding his arms and stamping his foot, while his eyes flashed fire,) I am a traitor, andyou can make the most of it!" Ihis was received with immense and prolong ed cheering, many rising up and whirling their hats, and many of the ladies waving their hand kerchiefs. This was accompanied by a volley of hisses coming from all parts of the house.— Ihe orator stood immovable, with his arms fold ed, as the shooters attempted, time and again, to drown the hisses. Finally, order being res tored, he, his arms s ,’I folded, in a soft tone, said: “Eighty years ago, when young freedom was compelled to hide in the caves and secret resorts of the country, a nobie spirit in the Virginia House of Burgeses, bravely lifted his silvery voice in behalf of his beloved mistress, liberty. As the patriotic words gushed from his musical lips, the minions of power were there and dared, like minions of power here to-night, hiss at the language of truth and justice.” This produced another outburst of applause, which was prolonged for several minutes. No more hissing was heard during the delivery of the speech. TOOMBS’ TWO POINTS. The two chief points of Senator Toombs’ speech, on Friday night, were as follows : 1. During the first sixty years of the exis tence of the Government, (excepting only a brief period,) the South held the reins of pow er. In all th« legislation of those sixty years, not one enactment was made for the benefit of Southern industry ; and the eleven volumes of statutes which comprise the legislation of this period might be burned, destroyed, annihilated, and no branch of Southern Industry would suf fer by the destruction. The South had, during these years of unlimited power, in the Federal Government, taken no legislative benefit or ad vantage from that power. On the contrary, to the North, ceaselessly present with its “pauper cry of protection,” she had accorded almost ev erything. She had passed laws which compelled the ample products of the South to be trans ported in Yankee ships, coastwise, at enormous rates, while foreign bottoms would have been glad to compete for the traffic, on terms greatly to our advantage. Besides this, our laws had protected her industry in every form—her man ufactures of every description. And for all this the South had only asked to be let alone. And the North would not, and would never, let her alone - ; but insists on excluding her from the territories with her slaves ; sends incendiaries to take towns in Virginia and to burn towns and poison citizens in Texas ; protects the associates of John Brown; and makes the constitutional rights of the South, as to the recovery of fugitive slaves, a nullity—winding up with imposing on the South, for the highest offices of the country men pledged to destroy her fourXhousand mil lion of dollars of slave property, and to make her fields desolate and her homes and altars ruins. 2. And now shall the South emulate the ex ample of our ancestors and fight to the bayonet point, for the rights so justly ours, with a people whom we have given our substance to sustain ; or shall we cravenly submit to a domination which shall destroy her civilization and leave no vestige of her greatness for the historical re cord? For sixty years we had had the govern ment, giving all to our neighbors, taking noth ing for ourselves. Now, when they demand all, shall we submit? Will the men of tho South submit ? Will the women of the, South submit? [Montgomery Mail. The Mistakes of the Press.—The most laughable case of “mistakes by the printer,’’ is that where there had been two articles set for the paper, (one concerning a sermon preached by an eminent divine, and the other about the freaks of a dog,) but unfortunately, the fore man, in placing in the form, “mixed” them, making the following contretemps: “The Rev. James Thompson, rector of St. Andrews church, preached to a large concourse of people on Sun day last. This was his last sermon. In a few weeks he will bid farewell to his congregation, as his physician advised him to cross the At lantic. He exhorted his brethren and sisters, and after the expiration of a devout prayer, took a whim to cut up some frantic freaks.— He ran up Timothy street to Johnson, and down Benefit to College. At this stage of pro ceedings, a couple of boys seized him and tied a tin kettle to his tail, and he again started.— A great crowd collected, and for a time there was a grand scene of confusion. After some trouble he was shot by a Jersey policeman.” A Child's Logic.—A little girl, says the Knickerbocker, had seen her brother playing with his burning glass, and had heard him talk about the “focus.” Not knowing what the word “focus” meant, she consulted the diction ary, and found out that the focus was a place where the rays meet. At dinner, when the family assembled, she announced, “as grand as could be,” that she knew the meaning of one hard word. Her father asked her what it was; she said it was the word “focus.” “Well,” said he, “Mary, what does it mean?” “Why,” she replied, “it means a place where they raise calves.” This, of course, raised a great laugh; but she stuck to her point, and produced her dic tionary to prove that she was right. “There,” she said triumphantly, “Focus, a place where the rays meet. Calves are meat, and if they raise meat, they' raise calves, and so i I am right, ain’t I, father ?” ■■ ♦ Caught a Tartar.—Dr. Abernethy’ rarely met his match, but on one occasion he tilirly owned that he had. He was sent for by an inn- , keeper who had a quarrel with his wife, who had scarred his face with her nails so that the poor man was bleeding and much disfigured.— Abernethy thought this an opportunity not to he lost for admonishing the offender, and said: ‘Madame, are you not ashamed of yourself to treat your husband thus—the husband who is the head of all—your head, madam, in fact?’— ‘Well, doctor,’ fiercely returned the virago, 'may I not scratch my own head ?’ In addressing a jury upon one occasion, the celebrated Lord Jeffrey found it necessary’ to make free with the character of military officer who was present Upon hearing himself sever al times contemptuously spoken of as ‘the sol dier,’ the son of Mars, boiling with indignation, interrupted the pleader, ‘Don’t call me a soldier, sir ; Im an officer.’ Lord Jeffrey immediately went on, ‘\X ell, gentlemen, this officer, who is no soldier, was the sole cause o f a p t h e mis chief that had occurred.’ The self-elected speaker of the house—a wo man. QUEEN MARY’S TIME. Martial law w’as proclaimed through Corn wall and Devonshire, and the gibbet did its bus iness freely, although in the latter county care was taken to distinguish the really guilty" In Cornwall, if we may believe the legends of the next generation, Sir Anthony Kingston, who went as provost marshal, was not so scrupulous. A story was told of a miller who had been out with Arundel, and expecting inquiry, had per suaded a servant to take his place and name. “Are you the miller?” said Kingston, on rid ing one day’ to his door. “If you please, yes,” was the unsuspecting answer. “Up with him,” said the provost-marshal, “he is a busy knave ; hang him up.” In vain then the poor man called out that he was no miller, but an innocent servant. “Thou art a false knave, then,” said Sir An thony, to be in two tales, therefore hang him.” And hb was hanged incontinently. The Mayor of Bodmin had been among the first to move; his name was joined to Arundel’s in the rebel’s articles; but his friends had in- ! terceded for him, and he had hoped for pardon. Kingston visited Bodmin in his progress, and sent the Mayor notice that he would dine with him. He had a rtian to hang, too, he said, and a stout gallows must be ready. The dinner was duly eaten, and the gallows prepared. ‘Think you,” said Kingston, as they stood looking at it, “think you it is strong enough? “Yes, sir,” quoth the Mayor, “it is.” “W ell, then, ’ said Sir Anthony’, “get you up, for it is for you !” The Mayor, greatly abashed, exclaimed and protested. _ _ “Sir,” said Kingston, “there is no remedy 7 ; ye have been a busy rebel, and this is appointed for your reward.” And so, without respite or stay, the Mayor was hanged. [J. A. Froude. SOUTHERN TRADE. In commenting upon an article of that vile Black Republican sheet, the New York Trib une, on Southern I’rade, the New York Day Book says: The South, ami her alone, has. made the commercial glory of this Union. Her cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, and other crops keep Northern ships, Northern manufactories, North ern agents and Northern insurance companies busy. She pays four-filths of our foreign pur chases. Her cotton in 1859 paid $27,000,000 freight money to the-ships of the North, and the latter only contributed $3,500,000. Her banks hold the largest amount of specie, year after year. Northern bill brokers sell bills based upon her shipments to the amount of hundreds of millions. She puts the bread into the mouths of New England operatives ; they owe her for the means to earn three-quarters of each day’s dinner. Her entire domestic re sources furnish an interchange of dollars among our own people, y arly, of no less than SBOO,- 000,000. The very readers of the Tribune get their living out of this ebb and flow of com merce and money, which is created, and has its fountain head south of Mason and Dixon’s line. The Tribune itself reaps the direct ben efit of it, and could not exist if the South and her institutions were wiped out, and yet “ her system of trading is a curse,” says this immac ulate journal. GREAT EXCITEMENT! Enthusiastic deception of H on. S • _z\_. Doug 1a s At Barnesville, Ga. t » Imp The social train which conveyed this distin- I guished personage to Macon on last evening was saluted by the Brass Band of this village.— About two hundred persons gathered around to get a peep at the “little giant,” consisting of men, women and children. There was only one Douglas man in the crowd, but the “Bell- Everetts” made the welkin ring with their en thusiastic cheers for the little Squatter Sover eign. “Behold how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” XENO. Oct. 31st, 18G0. The following original “dismalisms” are from the Cincinnati Press: The first dead head—Abel. When persons are bent on Matrimony, they are bent double. A Buck-eye abroad—the President's squint ing optic. An effective sue-ing machine—a wife begging her husband for a new bonnet. Important to boot and shoe dealers: how to create an advance in leather—insult a lady in the presence of a gentleman. Pauline, in the “Lady of Lyons,” talks elo quently of “the crown the Bourbon lost.”— That is nothing to the crowns Bourbon has cracked. Financial pharmacy. However great a drug money may become, no one finds it hard to take. Men who undertake to make a canoe should scream aloud, because they can only accomplish their work by hollowing out. Some persons s«y it is exceedingly easy to get a wife. We never knew’ any to get one with out trouble. The wickedness of the “softer” sex is shown by the fact that the first word the first woman ever uttered was dam. A Quaker, having sold a fine looking but blind horse, asked the purchaser : “Well, mv friend, dost thou see any fault in him ?” “No,” was the answer. “Neither will he see any in thee,” said Broad brim. “Julius, why didn’t you oblong your stay at de sea-side ?” “Kase, Mr. Snow, dey charge too much.” “How so, Julius ?” “Why, de landlord charge dis individual wid stealin’ de spoons.” “Is your horse fast?” inquired a Vermont horse dealer. “Beats all creation.” “Good bottom?” “He’s all bottom. Why, I drove him so far one day’ that it took me two days to get him back again.” A lady said to her sister, “I wonder, my dear, you have never made a match ; I think you want the brimstone!’’ To which she re plied—“ No, not the brimstone—only’ the spark!” The Difference.—A gentleman, having a large six shooter in his hand was asked, “Pray, sir, is that a horse-pistol ?” “No, sir,” he re plied, “it’s only a Colt’s.” Two Irishmen were going to fire off a can non, just for fun; but being of rather an eco nomical turn of mind, they did not wish to lose the ball. So one of them took an iron kettle in his hand to catch it in, and stationing himself in front of the loaded piece, he exclaimed to the other, who stood behind it, holding a lighted ' torch: “Touch it aisy, Pat!” “Where are you going ?” said a young gen tleman to an elderly one in a white cravat, whom he overtook a few miles from Chicago. “I am going to heaven, my son; I have been on my way there for eighteen years.” “Well, good bye, old fellow ; if you have been travelling towards heaven eighteen years and got no nearer to it than Chicago, I’ll take an other route.” Two workmen, passing a nicely cushioned carriage, which was waiting for one of the great Manchester cotton lords at his counting house door, one said to the other, “Bill, I'm darnt if 1 shouldn t loik to have a dri\ e out in that ere tine coach.” “Then thee get in, Jack,” was the reply, “and they’ll very soon drive thee out.” i Is this a Disunion Sentiment ?—John For syth, c ditor of the Mobile Regiter, and a devoted supporter of Mr. Douglas, uses the following language in a letter to his friend Sanford : “Ila Black Republican President should | be elected by a purely sectional vote, the South i resisting and the Northerners uniting against I us, this is no I nion for slaveholders to live in. i I should go with Mr. 1 ancev for disruption, Halter’ or no ‘halter.’ ” The Marquis de Favieres, a great borrower, and a notoriously bad pay-master, called on Samuel Bernard, the great financier, one morn ing, and said: ‘Sir, lam going to astonish you; I am the I Marquis de Favieres; Ido not know you, and I come to borrow five hundred louis of you.’ •Sir,’replied Bernard, ‘1 am going to astonish you yet more; I know you, and yet lam going to lend them to you.’ Customer—l wish to purchase some very good eggs to be used in making sponge cake.
