Mr. Pugh and Colonel Hubbard, of Vir glnia, subsequently came In. ✓ In the course of the conversation, it was re marked that Mr. Douglas’ strength in the Con vent ion was much increased by the number ol Southern men who expected to he nominated n Vice President on this ticket. In reply to this remark, Mr. Yancey informed us that the Vico Presidency had been tendered to him if he w ould unite in the nomination of Mr. Douglas. Ife spoko of the proposition with scorn. While wo were conversing on the subject, Mr. George X. Fun ders, of New York, came in.

The Eu /Hirer of yesterday contained the ad dress of the above gentleman to “the voters of Georgia,” The purpose ofthat address is to per suade the members, of the three parties in this State to support a compromise Electoral ticket, and the inducement—the object which it proposes to effect, is thu defeat of Lincoln. It takes Mr. Hill a long time to bring out nn idea-—Mr. Robt Mar tin, Into Clerk of the Supreme Court, said that “it took him ten minutes to buy a ginger-cake"'— and, when brought out, it is not, generally,clear ly and distinctly presented. Xu the address be fore u* y of a column and a half, there is only onu idea which has any somblanco of truth, and this vaninheH upon the slightest examination. Tho pith of his argument in favor of “fusion” Acre, is that “our friends in the North need the moral power of this union at the South,” that is we sup pose, the Northern people must lie frigUtcnoi from voting for Lincoln. It is impossible to eoneeivo that this moral power can ho exerted with effect in any other way. Can this be done? and, if so, under what circumstances ? Wo answer that, if not now too late, tbero is ono, and only one possi ble means of effecting this result. That is for ev ery party in the Htato mid in the South, to tako the positiou, clearly und boldly, that the election of Lincoln should and will he a signal for a dis solution of tho Union. This would bring them to their senses. This would scare the Linooln ites, and cause a'stainpode from their rank*. Is this proposition embraced in tho fusion pro gramme? Not a bit of it. On the contrary. Mr. jlill talk*/or the Union u much as ho docs otjnintt tho olectiou of Lincoln, and, notwithstanding it would involve a |*ipablc and direct repudiation of his “Dudley letter,” wo fear that ho moans the Union, in tho event of such election.

UNION. | Jletsit, Hdtfyr*: It is singular that a gen tie : man of Mr. Hill's political experience and imli | vidual astuteness, should make an experiment on j tho guUubility of his fellow-men, so utterly iiope j loss aud dovoiil of any reason why It should sue ! coed. Mr. Hill ha ; boon engaged b-r months paR, in j this State ami Tennessee, u#iug all tho etiwits of | his mind to fonu a grunt Bell party which would | bo willing to ignore vital issues to tho .South, iu j <-rdr to enable them tocontrui tho powers of the : Government. Ho has worked to this tdugle end | —the election of John Bell, to contribute to his : success, ho has brought to his aid ull the art# of : sophistry and deuiagogucism of which ho i* a perfect master. Jlo hoe oven endorsed tho Com i stitutional power of Congress t* abolish slavery i in the District of Columbia, ami ostracised the ; Southern faith of every non-slaveholder in tbo South by his in 4 f coiupir'ng tbo relative j “soundness es John 801 l aud John C. Broekiii | ridge,” I’ r when ho said iu Culumbup, that John I Bell and his wife owned 170 slaves, and John C. Breckinridge owned two, therefore John Bell was I 88 times us sound on the slavery question as John ! C. Breckinridge, of course it w ~ a necessary se j quence that he was 17<1 times ; m enund us a man who owned none, (hr if soundness is to be meas ured by his rule, every mau's political status on the slavery question would bo determined by n simple rule of uritlmuUsal proportion. I Lave no idea that Mr. Hill believed these things, but in propertivu to hi# unbelit-f i* tb? awlda*. portant to ihow how far ho descended, to kyure the success of tho Bell ticket: und now when re buked by public sentiment, and when ho sews hi candidate iu a hopeless minority, ho proposes to cover up his defeat by mingling hi* shattered and scattering forces with the serried columns that he Las so long ussnujtcd iu vain, it is “a weak invention of the cnciuy” thrown out oa the eve of a hutlllo iu which the separate ticket will toll iu thunder tones, that tho Georgia douiaud protection to their person ami prop erty, equal to that extended by the Government to any other section, that they will havo it, and that they will not ignore it i'or the success of any political party. This is the truth that the coraiag election* will proclaim. This is the principle! that Mr. Hill’s party at M'dledgcville insisted was paramount to all others, this is tho principle that they pledged themselves to support whoever might ho standard hearer. This is tbo principle their nominating Conventual repudiated at Bal timore, and the overwhelming defeat of the Bctl Trerty in Georgia is tho rebuke that Mr. HiU would couceal by his fusion artifice. If the Bell party desire uuion of tho South why is tho •"*&• position not made in Tennessee v*r :e only State in which Mr. 801 l stands the ghost es n, chance to t-uecood. At the Mi'icdgoviUo rati fying convention. tho Bell men scorned fusion with tho Dougins party, they then boasted that they had strength enough to beat both parties, aud it never occurred to them to fuse for the mor al effect it would havo on tho North. Tffon ir might have done some good, but now “it 3 too late.” No fusion could be useful unless it was adopted throughout tbo South, nnd then the lusian ought to be vn this basis. Let all the Southern States cast thoir Electoral veto for that candi latb, who, ‘ iu the separato Electoral College has the majori- ) ty of tho Southern Electoral rujtc. In that, way, tho candidate would represent tho United #cnti- j rnent of the South, bat this should have boen sooner, itoannotnow ho effected, and never would have been acceded to by the Bell men, be cause thoy knew that its effect would have boon to cast the whole Souther* vote for Breckinridge. This is what should have been done in the be ginning, there never should have been any other Southern candidate la the field. Then Northern conservatism would have been convinced of its danger, arid we would not havo been on the eve of determining what is to bo dono on Lincoln's election. Let Mr. Ilill u*c his powers to unite the Sop thin resistance, let him do this in his character of Senator, by enjoining upon Georgia a withdrawal from tho Union, it is the only living issue.

The Countitutionaliet of yesterday contains u letter from James Gardner, Esq., Douglas Elec tor, in which he expresses himself iu favor of tho Bell fusion scheme, anil suggests that “the mem bers of tbo Executive Committees of tho three parties iu Georgia meet at Atlauu next Monday, iho 2Uth iiißt., und there agree upon one electo ral ticket, and present it to tho people for their unanimous approval—tho electors t>* bo empow ered to cast tho ten votes of Georgia in tho way most effectual to defeat Lincoln—whether they bo given to Mr. Bell, Mr. Breckinridge, or Judgo Douglas. Col. Gardner further suggests that Uio electors on the three tickets now before the peo ple, be also there to uuite in consultation.” As neither tho Executive Committees nor the electors of the. respective parties have any au thority to consumate such a fusion, even if it wore practicable or desirable, wo apprehend that what ever arrangement may bo patched up, will be be tween the Bolides and a portion of the Douglas leaders. We do not believo that tho Douglas rank and file can he induced to unite with the American party against tfie Breckinridge Do- , moeraey. if, as is pretended, the object of the proposed fasiou is to unite Georgia against Lincoln, and promote “tho union of tho South for coming event*.” why not all parties unite on Breckinridge and this sustain tby tmfafc#! a thorax #>fajuusni pU* on v uicU Iho couth can remain in tho Union.— We can ecu no obstacle ia tho way of such a fu sion. The 801 l men profess to bo in favor of the principles of the majority platform, and tho Douglas men at the South only objocted to the inexpediency of demanding thoir recognition at tho time. Now, that tho issue is made, Hjpd neither Douglas or Bell stand any chance of elec tion on their compromise platforms, why shall not ail parties uuite on Breckinridge ?

I* the hoax Hgaiu being perpetrated? Wo should like to know, t*eoausoif tb new proposition, like the old, is but u joke, we, in common, with all fun loving people, desire to be posted, #o as to bring the Ungh in at the proper place. If our recol lection serves us, there were quite a number of Bell meu in Spalding and elsewhere in the State, who* n<>t appreciating the former fusion joke, threatened to qtm'the party rather than fuse.— Would it not be well, before these same partico be cv mo again excited, to have it un dors loud whether our Bell lenders are perpetrating anoth er hoax upon their verdant country cousins, or aro in serious earnest? Wear® more than half incliued to believe that the whole affair, from the nomination of Bell to tho proposed fusion w ith squatter sovereignty ism has been but a hoax, to bo laughed at after tho oloetion.—J/if dle ffcfrrjidrc. rtf* Tho Union nr Bell and Everett candi dates, at tho lato election in Ohio, received in 20 counties 6,429 votes, or 8,275 less than Fillmore iu 1850.

COLUMBIA, HONDA|, OHTOBtH 2. I*oo. The Fusion collapsed. Judging from the tone of the press, and of the members of all parties with whom we have con versed, the fusion movement will prove a still born abortion. We have not seen a half dozen persons of any party who favored it, and nearly all the Douglas und Bell men in this city are free to acknowledge, that it is h trick, to save a few aspiring leader* from sluking int* oblivion. Wo have not seen ono Breckinridge roan who favored it, and we beard several Bell meu. ou yesterday, say that if such an unprincipled rombinat on was made, they were for Breckinridge. —Augusta Dispatch. The abovo well describes the fate which ha.<* overtaken Bor/s bastard here. A strong effort was made a few days ago'te get up a meeting to endorse its legitimacy, and failed. We under stand that many Bell men in this city are oppos ed to it, and that all tho Douglas men, except one denounce it openly and bitterly. One of the latter said in our hearing that he was no chattel, and would submit to no trick of wire-pullers to transfer his party to Bell. Thus fails Mr. Hill’s lost trick. It will be known, hereafter, as lien's joke. What, indeed, is it but a joke, to fuse the threo parties in Georgia against a ticket that ain’t running? I7e lm humbug ! Tnr. Umov or Parties.—To defeat Lincoln, wc would willingly vote for Bell or Douglas.— The vote of Georgia is nothing in the scale. To the North, wo mu-t look. Were every roan in Georgia to rally on one ticket, it would not change the vote ofu single Republican. The fu sion accomplishes nothing. It does not say to the North “stand back,” it just says unite, and that’s all. This is no way to defeat Lincoln.— Lsy down a platform for the South, and wc are the first to get on it. Who killed fork Itohtn ? When thn “little Giant,” Mr. Duoglns, made his anti-Lecotnpton speech In the Senate, bis friends thought his arguments unanswerable; this aroused tho Georgia orator, Hon. Robert Toe mbs, and ho made one of his hold, character istic speeches against Douglas, which cut the poor fellow down wonderfully. Deuglaa could not stand it; he arose to leave the Hcnate Cham ber, Toombs insisted on his remaining, but the shot was too terrible for the little G iant, and he got out of Toombs’ reach. Everybody said that “Cock Robin bad been killed,” and never was a truer sentiment uttered. IfTooiubs could only get a lick at Douglas whilo he is on the husting*, with his Damascus blade, cock robin would nev er rise again, lie would never put on hi* arm’ r to whip tbwF->uth into submission. Bet on Kentucky. Tho Breckinridge men in this lection are con fident that thoir candidato will carry his own State, notwithstanding tho boasting of the Bell men. One of our leading citisens on yesterday sold to an enthusiastic Bell man from Kentucky, a pair of h orses, payable when Breckinridge car ried that State. We are informed that the afore said Bell man has a number of horns which he is disposed to sell upon fair terms, payable when Bell carries Kentucky, and we would advise ail intercslcd not to let *o favorable an opportunity pass for purchasing cheap horse flesh. In this connection we would mention the fact that a horse dealer, a few days since, offered to dispose of his whole stock to Bell men, payable when Breckin ridge oarriod Kentucky, and could find no buy ers. JBfifWo learn that Col. C. G. Campbell at: l Hugh M. King, Esq., of Dceatur, ad if eased the citizens of the county it Bainhridge on Tuesday, the 23d inst., in favor of Breckinridge and Lane. From the comments of tho Southern Georgian, nn Opposition paper, we judge they did good service for tho party. m• m ■ Anti-Fniion Resolutions. The following resolutions reported by a com mittee of ten, through their Chairman, the Ben. Martin J. Crawford, were unanimously passed by the Aatt-ruHWH meeting in tots eity.'on Sat - urday night, tbo 27th inst.: l*r. Rttolved, That we know of u > reason to suspect that any one of the three electoral tick ets in Georgia would dare cast tho vote of tho State for Lincoln, and therefore, that wo sec n use for a fusion ticket to prevnt that result. 2d. /?fWr.-rf,'Thnt a fusion ticket, say of firo Democrats, three Bel! nnd two Douglas men, with mere instructions so to rote as beat to defeat Lincoln, would, in present circumstances, to only giving three votes to Bell anti two vote# to Douglas; for, in present circumstances, the Bell and Douglas Electors would doubtless rote for their respective candidates, and say that as Lincoln's election was certain, whichever way they voted, they might as well vote their choice —a result that might be well for tho Bell party nnd extremely weii for the Douglas party, but which would be bad for tho Democratic party, since, it has now becomo certain, in our opin ion, that that party will carry its whole ticket of ten by foveral thousand majority. 3d. Re*oh'eJ, That in oftr opinion, tho only thing sufficient to prevent the election of Lincoln would be a eonvietlon on the part of the North that iho South will not submit to his election, and thut wo are willing and anxious that all parties and all person? at the boutb, forthwith shall fuse in a solemn ueclaration that they will not submit to the rule of a Northern party, whose unrcpmli atd leader? have endorsed for party circulation a book t Helper's) abounding in such sentiments as this: “Slaveholders are morb criminal than com von MURi>Eß*a*"—a party whieh has a vast standing army of “Wide-Awakes,” who havejust celebrated tu Boston, tho anniversary of what they call John Brown’s capture of Harper’s For* ry—a party whose candidate for tho Presidency voted in the Illinois Legislature against tho fol lowing resolution, to-wit: —Resolved, “That tho right df property in slaves is secured to the slave holding States by the Federal Constitution, and that they cannot bo deprived of that right without their consent'’—and who, in the words of Mr. Douglas m his Oh cag” speech in 1858, “advo cates boldly and clearly, a war of sections, a war of the North against the South—-of the free States against the slave States—a war of extermination, to be continued relentlessly until the one e*r the other shall be subdued, and all the States shall ntvtter hocnmc eVav* or free.” 4th. Heo!v*4y That we arc willing and anx ious to unite with all persous of all parties in a speedy declaration of this kind ; that we suggest the propriety of such a declaration being made at tho earliest practicable day. in at least Hie larger towns of this State and of other Southern States. sth. Jieeoleed, That in our opinion a movement of this sort, adopted in the laxger cities of a few Htatcs, or even perhaps of tho State of Georgia alone, would indue* the North to forego the elec tion of Lincoln, and thus put the 1 nion out of danger, hut If that would not, nothing weald. Ctb. JUeolved, That a fusion accompanied by u proclamation of its chief author and advocate, (Hon. B. 11. Hill.) that it bad for ono of its ob jects “death to disunion,” that *‘thc Cnion Vs the fir*t great object of our eff ort*” instead of our <wn sAfoty, and himsolf being the trusted bead of a party, the middle plank of whoso platform is “the Union” unconditionally, would be, we believe, an advertisement te tbe North that they need fear no evil eonsoqucucos from the election of Lincoln, and therefore, would be a measure not to decent but to insure hit election. 7tb. Rc*oh*d, therefore, That as woeaxtjee no public good to be accomplished by tho proposed “fusion,” nnd no sufficient inducement to us to favor it, wo oppoeo it, Bth. Itetolved, That even if the movement were entitled to tbe favorable consideration of the Democratic party, it come# so lato that it is im practicable, as nothing but a convention of the party has the power to chango its electoral ticket und a convention for that purpose cannot bo as sembled before tbe day of tbe election.
