BO1rToURT CorNTY, August 2lst, !

BoTEroURT COUNTY, August 2lst 1860.
To The Editor Of The Wig;
attended Allegheny Court on yesterday and FOR the
first time had opportunity Of hearing warm and
hearty supporter Of the Little Giant" address the peo-
ple Mr. Collier of Petersburg who was on his way TO
the Springs, at the soci alton of some of Douglas
friends, consented to enghten the Aleghanans by n
speech and the Court kind enough TO adjourn for
time TO afford him the opportunity. He commenced by
Hing the people how good Democrat he was and say
log that his mission of peace and that he would
not make war upon the bre hren. He then took sort
of side fling the Bell with the WORKOUT clapper" and
predicted dsgrsceful defeat to the broken and dis
cordant Democracy" After pronouncing a handsome
euogy upon Judge Douglas, whose record he said was
without bemish, he pitched into the Brecknrdgers
with admirable spirit and force and judging from
the remarks heard made afterwards with considerable
effect. He said the plot dissolve the Union by Yam
cey Co. was made aud published in the Richmond En-
quirer thirteen months ago, and that Breckenridge
either cognizan of the fact had enough
overseer tho negroes his plantation. He brought a
great grave charges against the Breckenridge fac
ton and boldly challenged contradiction and added that
the evidence which be adduced would have convicted
Aaron Burr of treason-and he upon jury, with
eckinrdges record before him, would convict him Of
treason.
In speaking Of President Buchanan he said he was
always a Federast and he felt the most inexpressibe
contempt for him. Mr.. Collier spoke in bold, def
ant and forcb.e manner which had favorable eject
upon his hearers. majority Of the Democrats in A lie
ghany and in Boetourt are favor OF Breckenridge but
Douglas will get very considerable in both
ties.
The friends Of Bell and Everett were never in such
high spirits and calculate fully the triumph OF the
Constitutional Union party. have heard number of
the sturdy Democratic yeomanry of the land say that
they would not hesitate moment to declare for Bell
aud Everett II they satisfied that they the best
chance for beating Lincoln. X.

numerous personal and political admirers in Virginia ano

course we should certainly recommend as to Mr. Breckn

TIE Boston Post would oppose the An

Democratic ticket. But for all its intense
partisanship. the Posf does up its hits in
verv readable manner. Here is the last
one:
Abram Lincoln, or abraham Lincoln, flor
his friends disagree about his name, and
so call him :sAbe' for short and safety,)
has been honored in the Chicago TTfbNne
with a very minute description of his per-
son and peculiarities. The picture is not
so artistically drawn as the portraits by
PIutarch; but is rather interesting, never
theless. He is not ga handsome man, we
are told, though there is something in his
eye, mouth, or nose, 1--WE forget whichil
that is supposed to be dangerous TO wo-
men. and indicative of a man who is fit to
be President. she stands six feet four in
ches in his stockings"-and is accordingly,
we should say, "long enough TO be tedi-
ous" His head is said to "defy descrip-
ton sit nearer resembles that of Clay
than that of Webster-but unlike either"
We should suppose SO. That he is of a
religious turn of mind, is shown by the
fact that "his wife is a member of the
PRESBYTERIAN Church" We are glad to
learn that che doesn't drink intoxicating
liouors of any sort" and is averse TO all
kinds of gambling. Being religious
man, las above,) this is simply as it should
be. AS to swearing, which is both an
immoral and ungentlemanly practice. we
have the authority of the writer in the
Tribune for stating that he is free from
that vice, and in his most irrascible mo-
ments never says anything more emphatic
than "Ddnn him.

THE CRoss.-The following striking pas
sage is from Henry Ward Beechers sermon
preached last Sunday, in the pulpit of the
late Theodore Parker, at Boston:
"The cross has twined around it every
association of dignity and beauty in the
world. Not one other thing has received
from the fertile minds and the all-fashion-
ing hands of men of genius so many ex-
trinsic beauties as the cross of Christ
Millions never hear of it without a throb,
nor see it without genuhection. Ii
draws upon the child in the cradle next to
its own mothers face, and it is the last
thing from which the light disappears
when this child, in old age, is dying. The
cross is now as universal and as beautiful
TO the associations and the memories of
men, as then it was rare, peculiar and obi
Gus; it is that which now to us is not
only suggestive of fact in Christ's his
tory, but II is also memorial of two
thousand years of history. Around that
simple crossword the heart of the world
has gathered for twenty centuries its stores
of admiration, of love, of devotion"
