Mr.. Toombs. not Posted.

Mr.. ToombS made speech at Tunnel
Ill., Ga, ON the LIST inst. The Dalton
Times, II b eckinridse Yancey paper, con-
tains a sketch of it. We make the fol-
lowing extract:
Mr.. Toombs said there were but two
parties in this contest. At the North the
fire of the black republicans is concentra.
ted on Messrs. Brcckinridge and Lane.
They had no war to make upon Douglas
and Bell.
Mr.. Toombs is not, and. we suspect,
d e. not WISH 10 be, posted on this subject.
What he state, is the reverse of the truth.
The fire al the black republicans in the
North is upon Douglas and Bell. The
Breckinrid geY anccy movement is cheer
ed and encouraged 10y them. Ever since
the nomination of Breckenridge the re-
l,ublicuna have been using every effort to
strengthen him. and so to divide the
Northern democracy rs to render II IN.
possible for Douglas to carry IL single
State Nasho,tte Patriot. -.
LINCOLN AT THE SouTH We have here
toIore assumed that the Republican Prrsi-
DENTAL ticket had no support at the
South. We were mistaken. Lincoln
has friends and supporters at the south.
and that, too. in the ultra State Of South
Carolina. as the appended toast, offered
at a Fourth OF July celebration at Hen
Jacksonville, in that State, will prove:
"Bv Robt. r. Sncad-We ektctton of oil
-1be L'HcoL"-'rhe shortest way to South
ern coniederncy."
Mr. Lincoln ought to 90 to South Caro-
lima and make speeches. With little
effort he might carry the State. At all
events. lie appears to be more popular
there tlan amongst the friends of child.

would mob him.-R;chmond Wig.
Why BRECKENRIDGE SHOULD DECLINE
The Memphis appeal gives many reasons
why Breckenridge should decline. of
winch the following are good and sufli-
cicnt:
lie ought to decline because the first
movement towards his nomination was
made 10y nm avowed disunionist. He
ought to decline because he occupies the
position of a disorganizer and disunionist.
He ought to decline because lie is con
sdered hy all unbiased minds as a mere
tooi in the hands of discounted politicians.
and defeated Administration.
A CHECK To FILiBUsTERING.-Secr
Cobb has ordered the revenue vessels in
the Gulf to cruise off the mouth of the
MtSSiSStr,i Ipu Na,v lh.lnn,g EIiL,.,,,,
and compel their return. This action is
in consequence of reports that large num-
bers of men, who were anxious to Join
Gen. Walker in Honduras, are hastily
preparing to leave. The President is de-
tcrinined TO discountenance all unlawful
expeditions against our Central American
neighLors.
DorGtAs ~ II ,RDEMAN.-The Yanccy
organs are 4, the habit of sneerng at the
Douglastes on account of their want OF
popular strength. The Qdd N,nc says
Mr. Marsh, the census taker of Harte-
man county, reports that in ten dlstticts
in which lie had canvassed. there were
five Douglas men to one Breckinrldger.
RsS- The Nashville Union says:
"The resolutions of Senator Davis that
"demand Congressional protection when ne
cessa,y' were voted for by both of the
Bell Senators, Crittenden, Of Kentucky,
and Kennedy, of Maryland"
This vote of Crittenden and Kennedy,
according to the Union, commits Mr..
Bell to the doctrine Of protection OF
slavery when necessary. Well, then, il
Mr.. Bell goes according to your showing)
as far as Davis &Co. for protection to sa-
very in the Territories, why do you devote
columns to prove that he is unsound on
the subject of slavery? Is there not a
screw loose somewhere about The Union
Office ?-4Ueoptis bulletin.

man says:-"We learn from q reliable
source, that Hope Hull, Esq, who is now
in New York, has written letter to his
friends here, stating that the only chance
to defeat Lincoln, is to drop Breckenridge
and Douglas, and unite on Bell. Mr..
Hull is u democrat"
