Mr.. Disadvantages Speech.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentin,
says of Mr.. Brcckinridge's speech:

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
says of Mr.. Brcckinridge's speech:
As whole. the speech is complete
failure: and there is not one pord in it
which can he tortured to mean Congress-
io"ai protection to slave property in an or
ganized Territory, nor one word which
declares ory po,ccr conferred by tie Co,,Sti-
tuition on the Federal Government, in any
Of its departments, in reference TO the
subject Of slavery, except as regards the
African slave trade, and the recovery of
fugitives. There is not the faintcst glm-
mer of even shadow of PROTECTION, as
understood by his Southern supporters,
in the whole speech. He turns his back
completely on the Seceders, and makes
his bid for Northern, instead of Southern
votes. We supposed that Mr.. Brcckin-
ridge, seeing all was lost in this contest,
designed to make his speech simply to
set himself right for the iuture-and he
evidently looks Northward for support
satisfying himself simply with the abstract
declaration Of the right Of protection 10
property, in general terms, without any
practical application Of the doctrine to
the interest Qt Siarcry in the Territories
And yet he stands at the head Of party
which declares for protection or disunion,
and which is working to prevent protec-
ton, and thus necessarily for the other
alternative of blood. All, JONI, JomN,
we had expected better things of you.

More Disunion in Mississippi.

There was grand Breckenridge Mass
Meeting and Barbecue at Canton, Missis-
sippi, on the 18th inst, at which speeches
were made by Senator Brown, and Cover
nor Pettus and Hon. d. C. Glenn. The
American Citizen, of that place, of the
18th, refers thus TO the Speaking:

such notice as it deserycs-indeed, we
doubt it we should be able to- DO so, had
we from now till the crack of doom. =
We can say, in brief, that ii was rc-enact-
ment OF the 0isunion programme of 1851.
The sentiment of all the speakers-Glenn,
Pettus and Brown. was DisWioHiSm, subli-
mated and boiled down. and these senti-
ments were greeted with shouts that made
the welkin ring. and beating of bludgeons
that made the Court House shake TO its
foundations. All the speakers declared
the election of Lincoln to be proJabic and
all Of them said if he were elected they
were for immediate DtS,1tioH. Brown said
he would resign and come home. (hopc he

equally rabid, if not more so. He de-
nounced Bell and Everett in the most vi

of Douglas was worse than that of Abe

From Pennsylvania.

PuILADnLrHIA, Sept. IL, 1850.
attended Mass Meeting and flag
raising, where Henry NJ. Fuller addressed
few thousands, in the style Of national
sentiment to which we are accustomed in
Tennessee. 1t does ones heart good TO
hear the ring of that metal, in quarter
where you give credit for sincerity. They
have meetings here several times a week,
by all the parties, and am delighted and
encouraged to find consistency and growing
zeal among the Bell men, and that, in the
last resort, he is second choice of each of
the other three organizations. The pres
ent city government is republicans; and
from this source alone that party disburs-
es patronage almost as large as our entire
State and county organization. The re-
suit of this was shown few nights ago at
Bell meeting, where the republicans
were allowed by the police to throw brick
bats without disturbance. The Bell citi-
zens were wholly surprised and of course
unprepared for the assault, and had to
run out of reach, until they could get a
wagon load of bricks, which they did by
tearing up pavement-when just as the
aggressors were about to be crushed out,
the republican police arrested the fore
most ones, and thus screened their friends.
There is some solicitude as to the effect
this is to have in the future. The Bell
Committee Immediately laid the facts be-
fore the Mayor, and told him that he had
it in his power to protect all alike, and in
default of fair treatment they would shoot
down his friends whenever another such
attack was made. Pennsylvania is full OF
travelling politicians of all schools, except
ours. If Mr.. Bell shall be elected, it will
be done by the real people at home.
The fire caters of the Breckenridge
school may be delighted to hear that theil
man is here in fourth proof minority
think it certain that the other three
candidates will lead him at a great dis
lance in this State. feel confident that
Bell is gaining strength all the time; and
that he has the best chance for a plurality
in this State-certainly in this city.

gES" The Breckenridge speakers and
papers in this State laugh and ridicule the
idea of disunion, while in the Cotton
States their speakers declare daily from
the stump that in the event of Lincoln
election lie shall not be inaugurated.-
In Alabama the Seceders don't talk about
anything else; and in Georgia they are
equally bold in their expressions. The
Augusta Chronicle notices the movement
in the last named State and says:
1--WE know what the ablest, if not the
boldest, of these advocates of Secession
and revolution proposes, and we call the
attention Of the people to it now. 1t is
proposed, not in public addresses nor in
the press, but in the streets and high
ways, that with majority of one in favor
Of dissolution that majority will declare
the minority guilty of treason, and cOnfscate
their property for the benefit of the insur-
gent army. This is the proposition of
gentlemen who are engaged in the Brock
inridge movement, in case of Lincoln's
election, and yet they work in such man.
ner as tends to elect him. And when
ever this attempt be made to hang the
traitors, who oppose dissolution, and to
confiscate their property, then all men
know that civil war of the bloodiest and
most destructive character,has commence
ed. Instead of fighting common enc
my, the war is to be commenced among
ourselves.

SYRIA.-The arm of the avenger is de-
scending with heavy but righteous blows
on the villainous fanatics of Damascus
Already one hundred and sixty-seven of
the murderers have been hung and shot,
while several hundreds Of minor offenders
have been carried off from their homes,
to serve in the Sultan's army. The work
oftrial goes rapidly forward, and judgment
forthwith follows the sentence. AS we
limited, the effort has been made to save
the unfeeling Pasha, who was being con-
veyed to Constantinople, professedly for
an investigation, but really to get him out
of the way of danger, to place where he
might be more secure than amid the
scenes of blood which he had sanctioned.
Ahmed Pasha, the relentless Governor of
Damascus, has been obliged to leave the
capital for the seat of his enormities,
where it is to be hoped ample and speedy
justice will be dealt out to him.

BRECKENRIDGE LEADERS IN TENNESSEE
The Augusta Chronicle thus shows up the
beautiful consistency of the Breckenridge
leaders in this State:
At a Breckenridge meeting, lately held
in Somervilie, Tenn, ALI the speakers, Gov.
Harris, Senator Nicholson, and Andrew
Ewing, who urged the secession at Balti-
more, and the nomination of Breckin-
ridge and Lane, declared publicly that
they would vote for Douglas if he were
the strongest man, rs against Bell, in the
State. Now is not this extremely refresh
ing. These men have divided the Demo-
cratic party, have set up a new platform
which they say contains vital principles,
which Mr.. Douglas never wW advocate,
have put up a candidate in opposition to
him, and denounced him as traitor and
a dangerous Free-soil gambler in politics,
and yet, to induce Douglas men to sup
port their ticket, declare they would sup
port this Free-soil traitor, always opposed
to their ostensible doctrine, if he were
the strongest.

Mr.. Yancey.

Yancey, "the fearless Tribune of the
People" as the Disunionists delight to
call him, was at Knoxville on Tuesday,
ani made speech of four hours dura-
ton. In Alabama, where the Douglas
men are fighting his candidate, Mr..
Breckenridge, harder and more efficient
" than in any other State, he makes no
speeches. and we believe has not made
one since the canvass opened. There the
people all know he is an open and avow-
ed Disunonist. But he leaves his own
range, where his intentions are too
notorious to be disguised, travels into
other sections, and by glozing over and
avoiding an enunciation Of his extreme
opinions, seeks to instil the in>idious pois-
on Of disunion and revolution into the
minds of the people and Tennessecans,
who daily disavow the sentiments he is
known to entertain and the designs he
chershes, shout and clap their hands
over his efforts. To render their folly
and degradation complete, they should
take Mr.. Yanccy to the Hermitage and
prevail on him to make n speech there,
within sight Of the grave Of jackson.

admit there is no possibility of elect

on the ground that it is necessary to
keep up the State organization. And
