We have heretofore published to our renders the isnit conclusive evidence that Edward Ever ett, tho Opposition candidate for the Viee-l'reai denoy, baa, in the course of hta political career, maintained Abolition 4001x100.1 aim oat a* radical and diabolical aa those now proclaimed by Sew ard. The record exhibit* him a* having been in favor of abolishing slavery in tho District of Co lumbia. (In this, howovor, be waa no worse than John Bell)—the slave trade the Btatei and In the District, and opposed to the admission of another slave State in the Union. Ilia Houtli ern supporters claim (though ho says it noi biui* self,) that be has abandoned tho doetriftc*. Are they aware what a weathercock thoy are making of the said Ed ward . From the following arti cles from two journals published In Boston, the home of Mr. Everett, it appears that sometime previous to the publication of (be “Borden letter,” be waa an anti Abolitionist. From that ho changed to an Abolitioinist, and his Southern friends now say that ho haa ihanged again- Without considering the amount of tax which the latter statement, imposes on tho credulity of the people, suppose its truth be admittod. A Various and very important question would then arise, how long before he may bo expected to change again ? What confidence can tho Booth repose in s political weathercock t LET EVERT MAN IN GEORGIA HEAD TUli FOLLOWING : f From the Liberator of November Nth, edited by Wm. Lloyd Garrison. Kiiwaan LHmstt.—The Governor of this commonwealth has answered, unequivocally, in the srriRMATTvs, co the questions (Mr. Borden’s] wh ther he is in favor of the immediate abolition i.f slavery in the District of Columbia, and tho lave trade between the several Stator. Edward Everett now speaks tho language of a patriot, a republican and a Christian. Wo believe it is tho real language of his soul. When, a few years -ince, he took the oppoaito ground, ho did vio lence to his convictions of right, ami committed a grievous error. Wo arc disposed to obliterate nil that has gone before, and to commend him for his hounrublc fours©. T<> refer invidiously to what he said when public scntlmont was deeply corrupt, would be migeiierou* : to charge him with bring insincere, at the present time, would i be unjust ; to accuse him of soofcmg popularity, would be equally uncharitable. It is not yet n popular thiug for the Chief Magistrate of this i ‘am mon wealth to arow himself in favor of amnn cipaliun ; and until be shall prove rocrcunt to his present professions, it is to be taken for granted ihat he means just what bo says. In our opin ion he ought to receive the undivided support of the anti-slavery voters of this Commonwealth : nay, they have pledged to give him their support inasmuch ;u he hue declared himself so be in favor of their principles and measures.” In the same paper, an anti -davery ticket is proposed, headed by KnwAnt* I'vsntr for Gov ernor. From tho i roc American, Boston, 1841. Luwarh Evf.iiktt.—“The suspense about Mr. Everett's nomination hut really excited quite a hurricane in the Northern I’mi. They are even astonished at Southern arrogance and impudence. This ii cheering, for it shows that they have a little manly feeling left. Presses that are dumb to the unutterable cruelties daily perpetrated against the slave, are aroused to pious indigna tion at the idea that slaveholders should nssuiuc u eenaorahip over Northern opinions. But oc cording to their old aervillty they nre forswearing Mr. Everett's abolitionism ! They say ho is nut au abolitionist at all, or not so in untr “odiout .'cuae of the term/’ In this they betray utter ignorance or consummate meanness. If J.\i tenrd Everett in hot to all intent* and purponen an muck un Abolitionint an Genii Smith or Arthur Tuppan, he it a hypocrite. He was once au anti abolitionist, but the proofs of his conversion are unequivocal and on record, and we hope, for tho credit of his Slate, ho will not deny them. We shall give tho documents. 1. His letter to Mr. Quinoey. 2. llis letter to Mr. Borden, previous to the last olectiou, at which he was a candidate. <t. The endorsement of Wil liam Lloyd Garrison, Editor of the Liberator. AU we ask in the case is. that all parties will act in view of the facts as they arc. lu his letter to Mr. Quincey, Mr. Everett slates his convictiou of the practicability, as well as the advantages, of immediate emancipation, as pro ved by the statements contained in a work writ ten by Messrs. Thornes \ Kimball, containing au account of their tour through the British West Indies. This is the man whom the linn hirer support* for the Vice Presidency- who, if elected, may possibly fill the office of President.

Mr. Uun j'-hrrnt Spmk In Atlanta. On Saturday A'ight, before thr Jlrerhinrulge and l,mu- Club, uuil a large, m count of Citizen*, in the ojtrn air inthc Court Haute Square. At an early hour of the evening, an Immense crowd gathered to bear tho great statesman,and when he was introduced to tho auiliouce, he was received with hearty and prolonged cheering. - After a few prefatory remarks upon the disturb ed state of the country, the eloquent sjwfiker en tered upon the main points at issue. lie had at time* differed with hi* party, but had never advocated any cause without a good reason. lie lid acted with the Democratic par ty for several years, cordially, beoattse he waa convinced that it was constitutional and sound. It was his parpen* to show by the record how the unity of the party was in danger, and who is re sponsible for having brought about this differ ence In sentiment and these divisions In Anr ranks. There tire now three parties in the South, claiming the suffrages of tho people. The Breck inridge and Lane parly, based upon the Consti tution, which has more power (and ns much will) to save the South than any other; the Douglas party: and lastly tho Bell and J.verctt party, that hopes to rise to power and success by a di vision of the Democratic party, make up the trio of tbo contending purties among nr. Breckinridge and Lane are met by Douglas A Jotnsou, and are told that they are not the reg ular nominees of the Democratic party, but tbomselvo* are, and that Mr. Douglas alone rep* resents Democratic policy and Democratic prin ciple*. Mr. Bell tells us Hint we should give him our confidence because bo in in favor of “Ibe Union, the Constitution, ami tho enforcement of the laws,” without offering any remedy for saving the Union. Tho Douglas party oilers* platform which, with tho explanation offered by Judge Douglas, cmu be easily understood, while tbo Breckinridge party offers a platform which doos not require an explanation, but ran Im under stood by all. Mo did not believe that Mr. Itell would have been in the field hud then- not been a division in the ranks of the Democracy. Mr. Dougltu* was not the regular nominee of the Dem ocratic party, and the principlesbe advocate*are not the principles of the party, and never have been tbo pitriciplos of the party. Ho said that Mr. Douglas wu* a :itesniau of {treat ability, for whom lie entertained feeling* of ugh regard, with whom he had been upon terms of intimacy for sixteen yours; but that Mr. Dou glas had hnd deulgps upon the unity of the De mocratic party since the Northern people had failed to obtain the power in Kansas, under the Kunsa.H-Nebraskaact, and when it became ap parent that Bouthem men had obtained Advan tages under that act, nod that Kansas, if fairly doult by, would be admitted ns a slave State,(lint ! Douglas bad determined to war again t lie true ! intent of the bill, and to divide tho Democratic ! party And to rely upon the anti-slavery sentiment of tho Northern States for support. When the Charleston Contention met, Mr Dougla.'was well awnr* that bn could not get I the nomination under the two-thirds rule, and 1 those who are now his friends sold, that had tho eight cotton Stales remained in tho Convention, there could not havo boon any chance of noini noting Douglas; and among the number who hnd mado the assertion, ho could point to tho candi date for Vice President, the IIoi). It. V. Johnson. Mr.Douglasyaidth.it he would not rtcelvo the nomination at the bands r that Convention unless bis views upon the Kansns-NobVa-fen. Ml! were endorsed by it. The State of Alabams. ns well n. other South ern Btotes, recogni/od tho importance of the great Issno before the Amerioen people, which was of vital importance to the South, and were not wil ling to surrender our rights, which > hould be protected by the Constitution, our only shield and protection. Alabama only demanded her right*, Douglas demanded the nomination upon hit own platform. Mr. Douglas had no right at stake in Hint Convention,save his personal am htiion, but the Southern States had their rights ut stake, and they bud a right to qwak. Doug las’object wn> to boat down the two-third rule if possible, thus to obtain the nomination by un fair mean*. Thu HtHtus which were instructed to voto as n unit should do so, and those which were not so instructed should be untitled to ouo vote. Mr, Yancey very plainly showed that Mr. Dougins was not the nominee of the Convention according to Democratic usage, which was en tirely satisfactory to those who heard his explan ation. The State of Alabama had been imposed upon by a Bogus Delegation, mid Mr. Parsons, who had always been antagonistic to the Democratic party, and had lately joined it, was admitted in to the Baltimore Convention with Ills crowd, while Yanoey and the regular Democratic Con vention, wore excluded. Mr. Yancey said there was no Squatter Sever ciguty In tho Cincinnatti platform, none in tho Kansas bill, but that Mr. Dougins contended there was. Mr Yancey's views upon this question were vividly .set forth in the most convincing ar guments we ever listened to. lie contended that Non-intervention is tbo basis upon which the Kansas bill is formed; that ho stood upon Non intervention, and that Breckinridge soodnpon it. Tho Territories true to manage thoir own institutions, when they should not do any act contrary to the Constitution and the General Government. Congress could not abolish slavery, neither could a Territory, acting in that capaci ty. Wheu Kansas appliudlor admission into the Colon under tho Leooinpton Constitution, recog nising slavery, it was tho duty of Congress to have received if Sending the Constitution back to the people a high handed measure, and 1N .i a’ imi - \ Congress itself. Ho said that ( 1 inu i veue \ \to on uneonsUtu tiou.d mu. ui ut in uo other case. His argu roents upon v \ > measure were urged in a mll tw!y and coin mcing mauoer. He appealed to the record and proved every assertion that he made. He touched upon every point of contro versy, and left no matter unsifted, and cleared up every charge against the party, lie said that he stomi u|%>hi tho Georgia Platform, and if the Union men >f Georgia who frumedit were willing to back out ‘loin it, he was not. •1. “ i hut Ur ugia, in our judgment, will and ought to resist, even (ae a lent roeeK) t a dis ruption of every tie which binds her to the Un ion, any action of Congress upon the -abject o! slavery in the District of Columbia, or iu places subject to the jurisdiction of Congress, Incom patiMewith tho safety, domestic tranquility, the right and bouorof the slavoholding States, or iu any refloat to admit as a State any Territory hereafter applying because of the existence of slavery therein, or in any act prohibiting tho introduction ot staves Into the Territories ot Utah and .Now Mexico, > r in any net repealing or materially modifying tho lans now in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.” He was not a disunion!, if thnt resolution was not. Ho cleared up his own record satisfactory to all present, and in allusion to Au ustus it. Wright's attack up n him, he gave that gentle* man a castigation that he will remember a.i long as ho lives. Ho corrected some Items which the “Confederacy” has published, n a part of his record, aud called unon the editor to give the corrections as ho had promised to o. There arc many points and arguments, m this floe speech which wo will notice hereafter. It was one of the grandest and must powerful efforts we have ever listened to. Coxtiarcxo. —Tho enemies of Mr. Drockm ridge arc verily models of consistency. In one *rath, says the Clarion, they denounce him ns the “sectional,” “disunion,” “tiro eating” candi date ; and in the next, as n bclievor in squatter sovereignty, which, according to their showing,is the only doctrine thnt can preserve tho Union.— One while the charge is that he is a “disraptionist,* aiming to destroy the Inioufor the sake of this slave holding interest, while tho Douglas men and tho Doll men are the “two Constitutional Union candidate- “ Again, in the same paper— perhaps in the very fame column no have it urged that ho is “not in favor of the extension of slavery,” and therefore, not a fit candidate for the support of Southern men. Lewis 1). Campbell, the somewhat noted free toiler, has declared his purpose to support Dell and Everett.

In 1 Hurt, Millard Fillmore, in a speech at Knchoflter, said. “Suppose the South was the most populous, the ui st wealthy, and poscscd the greatest number of electoral votes, nudthat it should declare that j for some laucied or real injustice done ut the | North, it would eleet none but a President and u Vico President of slaveho dera from tho South to rule over the North. Do you think, fellow cili reus, you would submit to this injustice? No truly you would not; but one universal cry of no, would rend tho skies! And can you suppose your Southern brethreu less jealous of their rights? If you do, let mo tell you that you are mistaken - and you must t hare fora perceive that the eucceee w stu'A party, icith inch on object, fount be a dissolution of the I nian,” Your Northern brethren are uot “mistaken,” Mr. Fillmore. We are sorry to inform you, the mistake is on your side. One Jo Taylor and one Dawson, both Bell elector* in this State, as also tho Douglas-Bell politicians of the South, are all in favor of submitting to the very species of injustice you deelaro your “fellow oilmens” of the North would not tolerate for a moment. \ our “Southern brethren of the Douglas-ilell dan. are not at all “sensitive” upon the subject of having u Black Republican—-Motional, hostile President “to rulo over” the South. Many of them in our opinion, rather than be nice about it, would willingly accept office under such a ruler, and rather than “lot tho l ulon slide,” would pre fer to let the institution of slavery “slide.” Your advice and warning. MrVillmore, were gratuitous and unnecessary.—o/ the South. open your Eyes. j “l tho three parlies supported in the South offering feeble resistance to tho election .f our deadly toes, tho H'aek Republicans—one is con tending fur principles, and the other two for men. The fricuds of Breckinridge and Lane are en deavoring to uphold principles on whose safety depend AWMcru li/e, Me •lability of (he (,'meral (iQitrnmenl anil the value of property in the South. The respective friends of Dell and hougla.s in the South uie not contending for principles of their own choice; atjheart they endorse the principles of Breckinridge and Lane— but they contend for men alone. It cannot even be said, that they are contending for spoils, for they have no hop* of victory They “love Closer more than they love Koine,” and like “the cur iu the niauger,” snap at those who could cat what they cannot. How Lmg will these men persist in giving nid und ; comfort to the enemies of their ftvet and proper i ‘*\ h y showing up the impossibility of Southern uuioti at the ballot - box in defenco of Southern Lights and institutions? l)u tho supporters of Lreokinridge and Lauo claim any light or con tend for nuy principle which would not bcuetit the Bell and Douglas men as much and as speed ily as themselves Would not the downfall those rights and principle# degrade aud bankrupt ! ika Ball **>d Douglas urea as quickly unit would I tho mi p porter* of those principles Will the South i cm people, of any party, fail to open their eves j to the importance of these truths until after tbev became degradedamlbankiupt?

Open your eyes, now, before the election, and beware of the future.

Heretofore our lives and property have scarcely been staked upon the result. Now, our very existence depends upon the maintenance of ■ur equality through the ballot box. Can South ern in n longer hesitate to side with those who are contending for life, honor and equality—or will they aid by their votes the destruotion of themselves aud their couutry? We cannot beieire 1 that many Southern votes will be east against | Breckinridge and Lane in November.—Jfonr. I Maxi. C vLC liBCS. hATTIU>AI. ACGt IT U, IWO he (ante fur Alarm-• Wait! The Opposition party having hocked oat from their platform of protection to slave property, the gr*t question in the prerent canvass, or having u friends in their Notional Convention to urge It, are now frightened out of their wit* about dis solution. There is no such issue before the peo ple A few presses *od prominent men of tho threo parties Booth, have expreseed their belief what the election of a Republican President would bring on the country, and that is all. Among these, the great Bell apostle, President Fillmore, has said the “eucoess of the Republican party would be a dissolution ofthU glorious Union.'’ Ther* is no issue of disonkro in tb# Breckinridge platform; Mr. Breckinridge and Gen. Lane have said nothing about It, and it is all a feint of the Opposition to frighten timid men from voting for true principles aud the candidate who stands the best (beuo* to defeat Lincoln and preserve the prece and quiet ol the country. If the issue Is ever made of the election of s Republican ms a cause for dissolution, It will not bedone until Mr. Lincoln D declared elected. “Sufficient for the day is th* evil thereof.” Then, when the ques tion comes, we shell rely upon the patriotism of the people, and not appeal to partite, to redress their grievance in such way as an enlightened public sentiment may dictate. Then we will promise to take ear* of such men as are afraid of a Black Republican Government, and see that they are not hung up ss tories and traitor-*. YY'e call upon the true mon everywhere, who love principle more than party, who desire tho question of slavery settled npon the immutable principles of justice, who wish to secure forever, the peace of the country and make the Union per petual, snch a Union as our fathers gave us, such a Union as the Constitution guarantees, such a Union as recognize* all the Btales as a common sisterhood, such a Union a* would ensure do mestic tranquility and provide for the peace and happiness of the country, to rally around Breck - inridge and Lane, elevate them to the positions which their love of oountry justly entitles them, and inaugurate that policy in the administration of the affairs of the Government, that patriotism, wisdom, true — independence and exalted freedom would sanction and approve. Ike Bell Pamphlet There i* a pamphlet just published, containing the South tide view of John Bell's life, for the present canvass. We bare read it enough to j know that it doe* not contain those paragraphs in John Bell's speeches in the Benate which strike at u tlave pent,” and which talk about the aboli tion of slavery in the District of Columbia, and which deolare that he would be “content to sec .slavery abolished” there, if the slaves are provi ded for after their emancipation.

Moxtdomkby, Aug. 9th, ls6u. Gentlemen —lt is with profound regret that I am compelled to decline your polite Invitation to address my fellow-cilisens at Greenville, on the 18th intt. I shall,at that time, be in the midst of my labors in the Circuit Court in Bussell. B*> far as these labors concern myself, personally, I would cheerfully lay them aside, to he present with you, and lend my humble service iuendeav i ring to maintain our rights in the I'nion; but the rights of others are invoked, which imposes obligations upon me that I may not pretermit or disregard. I do most sincerely hope that, before the elec tion in November, the people at the South will present an united front against Black Republi canism. We have nothing to hope from our di vision, but defeat, and eventually the destruction of our institution must be the consequence. Wo are, in the language of Pope, like the lamb, about “Tolick the hand just raised to shed our blood.” The issue is fairly presented between tho plat forms of Breckinridge and Lane on theonoliHiid, and Lincoln and Hamlin on the other. Mr. Douglas’ plan ul killing off slavery by circum scribing it within its present limits, (the inevita ble effect of his doctrine,! and Mr. Bell’s policy of announcing no specific views, lest in tirno they should comit to striko for Southern independence or drive the South from him by thoir anti-South ern tendency, can accomplish, in my bumble judgemnt, little more than to cripple, by divi ding the South, and seriously imperil tho I'nion, by the election of a Black Republican President. In dor those circumstances, it behooves us ail. calmly and dispassionately, to deliberate, to lay asido all party animosity and prejudice, and to unite upou that ticket tho success of whose prin ciples would secure to all section* equal rights, and thus place our Union upon the firm foun-la firm of the Constitution.
