ST.. LOUIS. Oct. %.

character OF tnst charge, we euDJoln the
following:
ST. LOUIS, Oct. %.
DR.. Leroy; the Administration candidate
for Congress in the Sd district of Illinois,
in q speech at Bloomington last night,
withdrew, and advised his friends to sup
port the regular democratic nominees for
Congress and for State officers and Repre-
sentatives who will vote for Douglass for
Senator.
Do these Irregular democratic nominees"
in supporting Douglass, bring. themselves
within the scope of the Union d Americans
condemnation If SO, the South has no
friends, in Illinois, and the Union & Ameri-
can, in acting with the Irregular democratic
nominees" of that State, avows itself, by
its acts, in close afiliation with the aboli-
tionists, and an enemy of the South If
this is not logical inference, then the
argument Of the Union Dc American, from
which it is deduced, is all gas. But here
is another item, we will lay before the
locofoco organ at Nashville:
ST. LOUIS, Oct. %.
The Democratic Central Committee of
Illinois this morning received q letter from
Vice President Breckenridge urging the
reelection of Douglass. The letter will
appear in the State Register tomorrow.
Is the Vice President an enemy of the
South2 OF course-he is the enemy Of
the Administrations anti Douglass policy,
and in. The condemnation of the Union &
American there is no qualifcation-he
who opposes the Administration, in any
particular, is its enemy, and, therefore, the
enemy of the South. That we may not
be charged with pervertiDg the tenor of
the Union & Americans argument, we
subjoin the following extract
We presume that no Southern man re-
CARDS these traitors as worthy of their
sympathy or support; yet we find South
ern men offering indulgence and forgive
ness to the author Of all this dissension.
While the followers and adherents of
Stephen A. Douglas are in league with the
abolitionists in Pennsylvania, hurting
fierce anathemas against the administra-
ton, because of its gallant defence Of
Southern rights, the very people for whose
protection the President incurred Mr..
Douglas displeasure, are encouraging him
in his treachery and desertion.
The gallant Americans and wings, of
the South, who opposed the application of
the Wilmot proviso to the Oregon bill,
who oppose squatter sovereignty and alien
suffrage in the territories, and who oppose
the present corrupt and lawless Admins
tration, need no defence against the
groundless charge of the Union d. An,eri-
can, and We hurl back the charge of
enmity to the South, upon the strength,
in part of the three items just enumerated,
and of the following from as staunch
democrat as the South can boast.--Gov.
Adams of S. c., who, in his letter to the
Bonham dinner, says:
THE pass word, hereafter, il seems, is
to be National Democracy-to which we
