The Game of the p1sunioni.,s.

In 1856. so soon as the Presidential can
vass opened, the democracy raised the cry
that FILLMORE had "no chance" They kept
it up 50 constantly, they succeeded in draw
ing away from him, in the South, voters
enough TO defeat BIN in all of the Southern
States except one.
The Breckinridge-Ya nceyites have been
pursuing a similar game with DCUGLAs.
They started out with the assertion that be
would not get one electoral vote. Having
prejudiced the Southern democracy against
him. in advance, and left him with but few
supporters in this section, they set TO work
to beat him in the North where he is strong,
by bringing out electoral tickets for BRECK-
ISRIDGE, well knowing that every democrat
ic vote taken from DOUGLAS was aiding the
the election of Lincoln. Having, as they
now believe, laid the train for the verifcation
of their prophecy about DOUGLAS, they are
endeayoring to put out the impression that
BELL will not run as well as FILLMORE did
in the South. OF course they will keep up
this system of tactics TO the end. 1t is the
only thing they have to aid them in their de-
sire to unite the whole South on BRECKIN-
RIDGE, and thus give the disunionists license
to carry out their schemes against the
Union. But they have mistaken the people
South. FILLMORE had but one State. BELL
will obtain more electoral votes in the South,
and in the North, than BRECKENRIDGE, and the
disunionists viii find that they have the great
majority of the people against them. Trick
cry may win once, but no more.

LEBANON. Tenn, Oct. 80, 1860.

Messrs. Editors: Several days since the
Senior Glass of the Lebanon Law University
held their semi-annual election for valedicto-
rian, which resulted in the election of the
talented and accomplished Wise A. Cooper,
of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
1t was an eminently ptse decision, for Mr..
Cooper is a debonair gentleman of the very
highest scholastic attachments. and is unusu-
ally well versed in legal lore for one of his
youthful age.
In his brief collegiate career he has won a
brilliant reputation as lawyer aud as an
orator. bright precursor of the future when
fame shall write his name upon the scroll of
Immortality, "one of the few not born to
die y...s- eE
He is is possessed of great reasoning pow
ers, and is the very impersonation of elo-
quence. as
There is magic in his delivery, as with
fiery energy he pours forth lava-like foods of
eloquence, '.by whose magic the depths of
the spirit are stirred"-a spell, which as eagle
like be scars above the common herd, enrap-
lures the soul and makes the wisest head its
sport.
The present graduating class. fifty in num-
Der, is the largest we have. ever had; and
larger than that of any other Law School in
the United States. The Lebanon Law Uni
versity now stands peer Gi not preeminent,
amid her sister Universities. Let Lebanon
flourish.

CONGREGATIONAL Protection.

There is one fact to which We desire to call
the attention of all those in the South who
are supporting Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE, under the
impression that they have any cO-laborers in
the North ready to grant the doctrine of Con-
gressiOnal protection. The Breckenridge
platform says that the party is for Ccngres-
sional protection to slavery in the terrific
RES, when necessary" Now, We undertake
10 say that there is not supporter of BREcS-
ISRIDGE north of Mason and Dixon's line, who
will ever believe that it is necessary. When
it is necessary is left to the discretion of
every man who may be called upon to vote
in relation to ii. When will Northern
democrat determine that it is necessary
Will it be when the Legislature of a terrific
~ has passed laws unfriendly to slavery or
prohibiting it altogether? Look to the ex
ample of Kansas and see the result in that
case. Every man who supports Mr.. BRECk-
INRIDGE on this ground is wholly deceived
a. to the probabilities of obtaining it, or
knowing that his effort will be utterly fruit
less, desires 10 use lis refusal as pretext to
break up the Union and establish Southern
COufederacy. Such is the simple fact of the
matter, and it will be established, sooner or
later, by proof written in lines of blood.
Mark that.

vote OF Tennessee--rhe south.


The Hon. VIM. L. Yancey, after his visit to
this place, proceeded to New Orleans and
made a speech there, in the course OF which
he is reported as having said {:
Delaware was quite as certain for Breckin-
ridge as Alabama was. So was Maryland and
so was Virginia. A month ago Tennessee
would have gone for Bell by several thousand
majority !; but it Will 60 for Breckenridge by
at least five thousand. Kentucky and Mis-
SQUIRE are doubtful States. Bell may carry
them. but there was reason to think otherwise.
He had travelled through the different States,
and gave the results of his personal observa-
tiOn exclusively
Feeling assured that Mr.. Yancey has beer
widely misled, not only in regard to Tennes-
see. but to some of the other States, we deem
it not improper in us, under the eircumstan-
ces, to say so. We have such information
from all parts of this State as assures US that
its vote will be cast for Bell and Everett
We hare no doubt trhaterT on that point. Our
friends in the other States may dismiss all
apprehension, if they have been induced to
entertain any, in regard to the vote of Ten
nessee. Our adyiees from KENTUCKY, MIS-
SOURI,, LOUISIANA, MARYLAND. VIRGINIA and
NORTH CAROLINA, authorize Us to regard these
States as CERTAIN for BELL and EVERETT, and
we do SO regard them The votes of these

and Texas. may be regarded as doubtful 1t
is proper, however, to say that Intelligent
friends in Alabama aud Arkansas, write Us
confidently that the votes of these States will
be given to BELL and EVERETT. As regards
Georgia, some of her leading and most expe-
rienced public men. we know, are of opinion,
as recently and confidently expressed, that
Mr. Breckenridge cannot get the vote of that
State, either by a majority of the popular
vote, or through the Legislature
In Mississippi the Union men are making
a gallant and determined struggle-sOme of
the most intelligent of them believing that
they will be able to carry the State
In Texas, the Union cause is represented
by joint Bell and Douglas ticket which is
supported ardently by Gov. Sam. Houston,
who last year carried the State by decisive
majority.
The only Southern States which, in our
opinion, can be set down as certain for Breck-
inridge and Lane, are South Carolina and
Florida. the two States together casting
ELEVEN electoral votes. In regard to the
latter it is proper to state that there is sep

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, in his dispatch of the 31st
ult., says
The meeting of the prominent chiefs con-
nected with the secession movement in South
Carolina, took place at Senator Hammond 8
residence near Augusta, Thursday last. All
the Congressional delegation except Mr..
Miles, who was detained by sickness. were
present; also Messrs Orr, Ex-Governor Gist
and Adams, and many other leading men.
The opinion was unanimous on instant seces-
sion in the event of LincolC's election. ST.
mlar meetings of leading men have been
held in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Florida.
II is stated by person who processes to be
acquainted with the purposes of the extrem-
lists in the Cotton States that they will. in the
event of secession, being authorized by their
respective State Conventions, take possession
of the Notifications in the South and South
west. These Notifications are poorly garri-
soned just now, as they always are in times
of peace. and, Notwithstanding the loyalty of
the army to the General Government, could
be carried probably without blow in case
Of any State placing herself in opposition to
the authority of the Union. The possession
of the Notifications would be a very import
ant matter. 1t would strengthen the Seces-
sionIsts, while on the other hand the reten-
ton of these fortified places by the General
Government would give force to its appeals
and arguments in favor of peace.
The President and Secretary of War have
been strongly urged to strengthen the garri-
sons along the Southern Atlantic coast, the
Gulf and The Mississippi.

what does Duty Requirea

We have not the least idea that Mr.. BRECK-
ISRIDGE can be elected under any conceivable
circumstances at all likely to arise-not by
the people, not by the electoral colleges-nOt
in the House of Representatives, even if the
election should 60 there, and he should be
fortunate to be one of the three receiving the
highest number of votes in the colleges. We
regard him, truly and sincerely, as entirely
out of the question, and not really to be con-
in any contingency. But there may be some
of his infatuated partisans who may enter
tain different opinion. There may be those
who believe that an energetic support of
Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE in Tennessee will enable
him to stand a remote chance of success. If
there are any such We beg to ask them what
they can expect should he be elected? The
only distinctive issue upon which he is run
ming is that of Congressional protection to
slavery in the Territories. Is there man in
the Union who believes that if BREck1xRIDGE
were elected, the passage of such measure
in Congress could be accomplished! We
have yet to see, or hear, or dream of, such a
man. Throughout the whole canvass from
the beginning to the present blessed morn
ing, We have neither seen nor heard of a
BTEcKISRIDE orator or organ who or which
has asserted that such legislation could be
obtained, even If BREckINRIDGE should be
elected. After the direct and positive refu
sal at the lest session of COngress,-ef De-
mocratic Senate to vote for mere resolu-
ton espoasing such legislation, no one has
been found to assert that such legislation
was practicable in any event. We appeal,
therefore, to the BRECkINRIDGE men to know
for what they are eontending. The issue
which the leaders have framed and to
which you are invited to rally is worse
than "dead sea fruit" Granting that
you can elect your man, il is utterly i'm
possible for you to gain the end for which
you are striving. What then do you gain by
your election. should you triumph? Answer
that question to your own conscience and
judgment. If you elect BRECKENRIDGE you
do nothing except to prolong the adminisira-
ton of BUCHANAN, of which your candidate
is part. Nothing else. Your national
convention did not indorse that. They mad
the very best of an UNANIMOUSLY bad business,
by passing it over In silence You not only
give your countenance and support to all the
corruptiens and weaknesses of that admins
tration; but you give positive strength TO the
Republicans. Is that your objectf If it is,
o.thy Ways a1
There is, however, one end which you may
reach by giving BREeKISRIDGE majority in
Tennessee and the other border States of the
South, and that is this: You may encour-
age the ultra, secession, disunion. traiiorous

The Great Mistake.

The fatal mistake by the people of this
country was made in the election of JAMES
BUCHANAN to the Presidency in 1856. Scarce
ly an event has occurred in the public ad
ministration in the last four years, which was
not foreseen and foretold by the supporters
of Mr.. FILLMORE in that canvass. It was
great error to elect the nominal President,
who now superintends the domestic affairs of
the Executive mansion, and devotes his Of
fetal energies to beheading postmasters and
other petty officials who do not act to please
him; while the vital interests of the nation
are left TO take care of themselves. Nay, in
his reckless expenditure of the public money,
and bis tolerance of. if not participation in,
corruptions sufficient to bring discredit and
disaster upon any nation, he has brought the
Eepublic to the very verge of destruction
and ruin. His administration has been such
in all respects as to build up and strengthen
and fortify the sectional Republican Organi-
cation which threatens to overwhelm US by
its SUCCESS, and open the way to the enemies
of the Union to revolution and war. 1t has
not one redeeming quality, nor can it revert
TO one patriotic or consolatory remembrance
in its whole course. History. honorable and
grateful history, would derive interest and
splendor by striking it out completely from
the annals of time. 1t stands only as a
monument of shame and disgrace to the name
and people of the United States The only
use it can possibly be is that it shall be a per-
petual warning now and hereafter against
similar mistakes. There is scarcely man in
the country who aided to establish it who is
not, in his heart, sincerely ashamed of it.
The conventions of its own party friends
dare not espouse and make its cause their
own. In coming years when the portraits OF
the Presidents shall be painted, if ever, to de-
corate the Halls of the National Capitol, let
black drapery, as it was with the infamous
doge of Venice, Marine Falieri, cover the
spot his should have graced; and if painted,
let it be hung with its face to the wall that
no American citizen shall be made TO blush
in being reminded of the deeds enacted by
the man, in beholding the picture
