It 1 had been announced by the county papers and hand bills for weeks that he was to speak at that time, and we expected to sec At vast crowd assembled to hear him, but, '■while the meeting was respectable in num- Tiers—some three to four hundred being •present—it was not what we expected to see, considering the enthusiasm claimed by the Bre&inridgcrs. Mr. Toombs de livered, as he always does, a good speech, Ibut it seemed tp elicit very little «ntluisi : ■Asm. Thtf'crowd wfis orderly and atten tive. Mr.' Toombs did not advocate dis- • union so openly as he is reported to have •Roue elsewhere. He was probably advis ed to be more conservative in this latitude. He made out a full bill of indictment a- gainst the North for aggressions upon the Tights of the South, and one of these was the refusal of the North to carry out tlic provisions of the fugitive slave law. Tlio’ this was not the grounds of his opposition to Mr. Douglas, he evidently designed to use it to his detriment. This is ungene rous and ungrateful iu any Southern man. There is no Statesman living who lias done more to sustain the fugitive slave law than Mr. Douglas. lie lent his whole influence and talents to its passage through the Senate, and his vote upon that measure created a great excitement amongst the abolitionists against him at home, lie was burnt in effigy, and every insult and “Indignity was offered him for doing this act of justico to the South. When he re turned to Chicago he attempted to address the excited populace. lie was threatened with violence, and met by an excited mob amongst whom were many free negroes, with clubs and sticks, who vowed that he should not speak. He essayed to address that angrv crowd until twelve o'clock at rnght, hut tliey would not hear him.— There he stood—facing an oxcited mob, unawed by their threats. They knew too well the power of his magic eloquence and irresistable appeals to the masses, to per mit them to hear him. At twelve o’clock ho announced that the Sabbath had arriv ed and he would retire. He appointed an other night to address them. This time he succeeded in getting a hearing. He talked and reasoned with that people until lie disarmed them of their fury against him. On tins occasion he exhibited a moral heroism seldom equalled by a States man, and never dreamed of by a profes sional politician. It is true that Toombs seceders—too preposterous a subject to be thought of So thought George the Third when the people of the American colonies claimed the right of local self-government It has become to be a great political here sy in the opinion of the seceders, for the people of a Territory, to say through their legally constituted legislature what muni cipal rtgulations they need. This must be left to Congressmen, who know noth ing of their wants or wishes. This is a great inducement to emigrate to the Ter ritories. By doing so, you must give up all claim to self government, and be dubb ed a squatter. But let us sec if such an Insurrection in Georgia. By a passsenger last night from Atlan ta, we learn that intelligence had been re ceived from Adairsville, on the Georgia State Road, that a negro plot had been de tected in that neighborhood. Last Satur day night was to have been the time. ^ Tar Heel’s Adieu. Mh.
