pougIas in virRinIa.


FooTE and RusT, to Virginia, is most propitious to
the cause of BRECKHRIDGE and LANE. The Virginia
Sentinel says;
"The Democracy of Fauquier have gone to work
in earnest Large committees of vigilance have been
formed for every precinct of the county. A Demo
cratic association had been formed in Warrentan-
of which DIR. +. HOrner Is President-that has
already cut out much work, and named spirited
committees TO attend 10 it
ave hear the most gratifying accounts of the
state OF opinion in the county. The Democracy do
not insend to be divided in order to accommodate
the Bell party. On Monday last Mr.. Rust. of Ar
kansas who, under other circumstances. would have
been gladly welcomed TO his native county by her
sterling Democracy, made speech that so viO-
lently denuncatory Of the Breckenridge Democracy,
and was so DANGEROUSLY appl tuded by the Wings as
TO disgust a nLmLer of Mr.. Douglas most valuable
supporters, whose names have been stated to US
The Flag. wishes he would repeat 1.-THE effect was
so admirable
The Sentinel adds that from all parts of State it
received similar accounts.
The Front Royal Warren county, Gazette says
ALREADY have hundreds of Democrats, whose
first choice was Douglas. seeing where the leaders
of that party driving them declared for Brock
inridge and before election we shall find hundreds
determined to save the State from the 0ppOsi-
tiCn and by their aid, doubt that victory
will perch upon our banner, and the glorious Old
Dominion remain true, as heretofore, to Democracy
and the Union
The Woodstock Tenth Legion says:
Whatever others may do, the sterling Democra-
cy of the gallant Tenth Legion-Shenandoah, Page
and Warren-are not prepared for any such
fusion as that No the unsullied banner that has
long and gloTiously foated from her ramparts is
StjH there! and it will remain there through evil
as well as good report, for veal or for wo, until
the ides of November shall tell the tale"
The Norfolk argus remarks the fact thatwe have
already noted that Mr.. DOUGLAS has nothing to say
against the anti Democratic candidates but directs
all his bitterness upon the nominees of the
Democracy. The Argus says: Senator DOUGLAS
in his long speech the other night had not J0ord to
say against Bel, but falsely denounced the Vice
President of the United States as a secessionist"
The effect of this and other things in the course of
the squatter sovereignty partizans is somewhat diff
ferent from their own anticpatiOns, and is comment
ed on by the Virginia Sentinel as follows:
d" Mr.. Douglas and those who manage his interests
in Virginia have greatly mistaken the temper of our
Democracy, including those whose trstchOice would
have been TO vote for him. The orders came out
from Washington to his friends to hold no conference
with the Breckenridge men, and to treat even sug-
gestion from them as an insult The order has not
been Obeyed. Mr. Rust, at Warrenton, on Monday,
followed up his Washington letter with a violent
harangue. which, aided by Wing applause. drove
he had. Mr.. Douglas himself. instead of leaving US
TO do our voting in our own way. has seen fitto
intervene, and is traversing state according
to accounts, saying not one 1CoTd against BeV but
making charges against Breckenridge which that
gentleman Indignantly denOunces as a SANDER. At
the same time we see his friends in many places
ready cooperate with those OF Bell while refusing
TO unite with their own brethren.
These thirgs are having powerful effect! Aid
ed by the shouts Of the Bell men, they bringing
our Democracy together and closing up our ranks.
We are receiving good news from Virginia. We be-
lieve that we shall save the State, notwithstanding
the boasts OF the Wings, and the unnatural efforts
which Douglas and FOote and Rust, and we know
not what other invaders from without are making.
Thu parrot cry Of disuniOn against true men and
threats of whipping seceders into submission are
not the means Of deludg and driving the Democrats
of Virginia They are not sheep, but men!
MIR. CIinsInan and the Raleigh Standard.
Some of our contemporaries are publishing DIS
patch sent to the Philadelphia Press, dated the 3lst
ut ia which it is stated that Mr. CLNGMAN, intends
10 canvass The State tor DOUGLAS, and that Mr.
HOLDER editor of the old Democratic State paper,
the Raleigh Standard will from henceforth fight the
DOUGLAS battle through without reservation"
We have before US the Raleigh Standard of the
LIST inst, in which we ind this paragraph:
Ave have heretofore freely opened our columns
to the friends of Judge Douglas. and have published
a npmOer of communications written in HIS behalf
and defence We have done this as a matter of JUS
tice to Democrats. and in the hope that the friends
OF Breckenridge and Douglas in this State would
unite. But tie Douglas men have now separate
organization and it will be obvious tOeTery that
our course IN the future should be different We
must close our columns against communications
from the Douglas Democrats; but If they should
request publish the proceedings Of their public
meetings. do perceive that we ought to refuse
compliance with such request
IN letter to the editor of the Raleigh Standard
dated the 2Zd Of July. Mr.. CLNGWAN said
" am Inuch gratifed TO see the position You have |
taken IN the Standard Of the Ssh inst. / have NY
self uniformly advised our political friends, with
out regard To their political preferences to sustain
me Democratic electoral ticket already in the field.
Aiy 0her course, by dirdiRy strength might defeat
DE oGeci trtct eruy DGbocrat has at hearts
In addition to the foregoing, Mr. CINGulN made a
speech in Carteret county few days before the as
sembling Of the DOUGLAS State Convention in North
Carolina at BRECKNRIDGE ratification meeting. in
which he is reported to have advised all Demo-
Gratis to support the present (BREcK1yRnGE) Demo.
cratic electoral ticket in that State. With such
course chalked out by himself it Is hardly probable
Mr. CINGMAN has determined upon A different
policy.
