r The special correspondent of the N
Y. Tribune, writing from Augusta. Ca
in relation to a speech recently made there
by Howell Cobb. he says:
"One remark of the orator / must en-
deavor to give in his words, as it shows
the tone of bis speech. he was speaking
of the President elect. and used the phrase
this man Lineoln;' be then went on thus:
sIf I seem to speak disrespectfully Of him
II /, because feel go toward him. have
no respect for him a man, because
know from personal acquaintance (or ID
servation) that he is unworthy OF respect;
aud President of the United States. God
helping me, he shall never bel This
sentence was received with loud applause.
This Ex- Cabinet o n Ger Of Democratic
President, calls upon God to help him re-
sist the inauguration of a eonstitutionaliy
elected President Of the United States. Ii
eiA require more than human aid for him
10 successfully accomplish that. This Mr
Cobb, heretofore ons OF the chief advisers
OF James Buchanan, ard successful and
corrupt depletor OF the Nations Treasury,
declares that Abraham Lincoln. whom the
people have elected, shall never be Prssi-
dent. Does this honorable boa-ter, a. the
leader Of the Georgis chivsIry. desire to
measure strength with Northern patriots,
on that question If so, We will
meet him at the Federal Capital on the 4th
day OF March with arms in our hands
q We viii meet him with all the terrors Of
internecine war, and never abandon the ef
fort, until Abraham Lincoln IS iusuguraied. +.
according to the usual custom, President Of
the United s ates.
1t is not the part of patriotism to avoid
this issue. or to shrink from looking the
Circumstance which surrouod US, full in
the face. here is one OF the great leaders
10 this Southern rebellion--a former Cabi-
net officer ard an Influential PARTISAN,
avowing resistance to the inauguration Of
the President elect, aud il the Stafe Of Mary
land goes pth the Cotton Stafes in this dis
union mo ,asement, zoe haze not the least doubt
buf the Inauguration Of Mr. Lincoln ,riA be
resisted-v hether successful or not the fate
OF battle can only determine. There is
no Disgusting The fact. that there are COM
binations being made now, to prevent, If
possible. the power and patronage of this
government from passing into the hands of
the Republican party. II has been avow-
ed in the House Of Representative, 10 the
Senate chamber, by disunion leaders and
by the disunion prsss. The rebellion will
in all probability reach Washington. the
effort will be made to seize the Capital,
and to. if necessary, assassinste Mr.. Lin
coin. Are We an alarmist when we write
such things? Read again the declaration
, of Howell Cobb, and mark that it was re-
eeived with applause.
Is then, the North, tie liberty loving
and patriotic North to remain still, in hear
ing OF those threats and 10 full view of all
those circumstances, and never be aroused
until rebellion spreads TO the Federal
Capital, aud the Inauguration Of MIR. Lin

{. to do. and that is, be prepared for the blo,r
