Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE AT LOUISVILLE.

The Louisville Times says at the close Of enthusas
democratic meeting in Louisville few evenings since
which Colonel Preston and Mr. Kincsd spoke with great
eloquence the crowd repaired to the Gait House. where
several thousand persons had already collected Asr
pcated calls ays the Times Major Breckenridge appeared
upon the platform in front Of the ladies' parlo and was
greeted with tremendous cheers 1t would be impossible
TO report the eloquent thanks which he returned for the
aasring demonstration He then reverted briefly to the
political condition OF the country and the factions with
which Is distracted All he said uttered with the
modesy and deicacy that became his distinguished posi-
ton. II the first time tho democracy heard thi.
eloquent Of Kentucky but every word that fell from
his lips thrilled through their hearts and added to the sd.
mrstion they already felt for him.
After few remarks from COL Preston during which he
administered wel-merited rebuke 70 the rowdes who
attempted to interrupt the meeting the large crowd quietly
dispersed.

HON. DAVID BARCLAY.

AT previous presidential canvass within our recollec-

clearly broadly Enthusiastically defined than in the one
in which we engaged. The platform adopted by
the Cincinnati Convention is the plain papable mbodi-
