If the files of the Columbus Georgia Times during
the editorial management of that paper by JOIN
Forsyth now Of Mobile were at our disposal, whole
columns Of the ercest fre-eating sentiments penned
by that distinguished leader of the DOUGLAS fortunes
now the editor Of the Mobile Register might be re
produced and yet we presume that the Patriot will
not charge the DOUGLAS men who are aiding in the
effort to cast the vote of Tennessee for Mr.. BELL
with being disunionists
The Patriot in the conclusion of its lengthy edito-
rial yesterday, aIludng to what it calls this nfam-
Gus conspiracy of Southern men to dissolve the
Union and establish Southern Confederacy gives
glowing prospect of the burning of our homes and
the destruction of our households" The Pdtriot
continues:
Mr. BRECKENRIDGE himself is aJodre Of these
facts and IN assuming TO uphold he secession banner,
he Is respOS bs 10 the country and to posterity TOR al

That he is aware of it, and syapdthzes 'eith it, we
have his own words.
We might stop to inquire of the Patriot if the ac-
ceptance of nomination rendered by gentlemen
from Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, Penn
gylvania. and other States, who are every whit as
patriotic as its ownsandard-bearer if the endorsing
of platform which the Patriot 6lre not attack is
assuming to uphold the secession baner'" But we
proceed. The Patriot attempts to establish by ex-
tracts from Mr. BRECKNRDGE's Frankfort speech,
used in most unfair manner, to employ the mildest
term. that Mr. BRECKENRIDGE is aloare Of and SYM
pdkizes 4" with conspiracy to dissolve the Union.
The Patriot says:
In speech delivered at Frankfort, KY, on the
2lst December, 1889 he SAID:
Felow-c citizens, propose now to offer you some
reflections on another aspect of public affairs. we
have been speaking of questions that concern Ken
lucky no more than the other States but we may

--freside, hearthstone questions. l dlsclalm the
spirit of an alarmist demagogue, yet, since l
have been acquainted with public affairs there new
er was time when the interests of this Union were
in so much peril or when the feelings OF the people
were so much alienated as at this hour. Certainly
If the aspect of affairs at Washington in the slight
est degree indicative of the feelings elsewhere, this
statement is mournfully true"
There the Patriot stops that extract. Wewill give
the sentences Immediately following the above ex
| tract
The danger springs from the character and pur.
poses of a political organization in this county
called the Republican party do not think that we
vet fully realize in Kentucky the aims of this party
what it intends and the probable consequences OF
its success In the United States; do think tba:
the masses of the Northern people at all realize the
consequences which viii be sure to follow any at
tempt to execute its proclaimed purposes At trs'
it seemed to limit its aims to the exclusion OF slave
ny from the Territories; but like all aggressive or
CARNATIONS its course has been continually onward
The rear rank of the Republican army marches up
| and encamps on the ground occupied by the adj
vanced guard, months before, while the advanced
guard has been marching steadily forward
We claim only those rights guaranteed to US oy
the Constitution, which is the bond of the American
Union. Among the clearest Of them are the right to
the return of fugitives from labor, and the right
to live " peace with domestic institutions, after

the instrument torn into fragments. IL Is the
purpose of the Republican party TO abolish slavery
| in the United States. 1 know that many men OF
| worth and ability in its ranks do not propose to
press the issue this conclusion. But they cannot
control the party, and soon they must fall into the
ranks and mbibe its spirit or sever their connection
with it forever,
Then after devoting four pages of his speech to
The aggressions of Black RepubIicanism, he says
Of of
Hence, repeat that the spirit and purposes of the
Repubican) party are utterly at war with the Con-
sttution and the great objects for which it was form
ed If that instrument Is allowed TO remain perma-
nenty violated in any of its vital provisions what
hope have for our institutions and h9ertles bro
ken in one important part it must soon fall to pieces
The triumph Of these principles would subvert South
ern society and desOate Of the falrest regions OF
America; while in the end, it would be equally DIS
astrous to all parts of the Union. The Republcan
masses do not realize the actual condition OF things
nor .he commissions that may ensue. Perhaps even
the leaders do not for they laugh derisivey at our
remonstrances. And yet these aggressions cannot
be cOns1mmated.
In the extract used by the Patriot, Mr.. BRECKN-
RIDGE emphaticaliy says Kentucky, lOaile single
ray Of hope penerates the thick darkness, a1 resist IN
der the Constitution and WITHIN THE UNION. And yet
language such as this is urged to prove that Mr.
BREcKNRIDGE sympathises with conspiracy to dis
solve the Union Such an argument can but recoil %
those who use it. Alas, that the tactics of CHARLES
SUMNER should ever be practised in Tennessee.
