Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-10-20
From Washington City.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8, 1860.


 der the lead of Breckinridge and Lane has been and is now prosecuted with dignity, fairness and much vigor. As the result we have from all quar. ters the most cheering news, to the prospects o the success ofour noble candidates It is becoming every day more palpabe, that the only serious opposition to the election of Lincoln is the Breck. inridge and Lane ticket, and that neither Bell or Douglas can possibly carry single electoral vote except through fusion in certain States, with the Breckinridge forces. Their longer remaining in the field only gives strength to Lincoln, and the people seeing this are deserting them by scores and going over to Breckinridge and Lane. The ques. ton that now presents itself to the conservative masses, North and South, is how can the defeat of Lincoln be compassed. The soution-and only soution--to this is by supporting Breckinridge.-- very large portion of the Bell and Douglas forces at the South, and especially in Arkansas, if they have not, will become convinced of this before the election, and like patriots act accordingly.
 THE CHARGE OF pIsUNIoN
 Made by the Douglas and Bellites against the Brecklnrdge party being entirely without founda- tion, is made to withdraw attention at the South from the position and record of the Bell and Douglas parties and their candidates upon the subject of southern rights. That this is the sole object in re- taiing this islander ofdisunion against Breckinrdge ana hs supporters is clear, but nevertheless. the southern people will hold both these parties to an account for the position of their candidates mon the slavery question But if nothing e'ae would show the fallacy of this charge of dsunion made so pertinaciously by southern men, who are so anx- i"uS to propitiate northern fanaticism and black fepupiicah'sm' though it be at the expense of the rights and honor of their own section. if womb h.. found in that army of truly national and conserva oVe men engaged in zealously advocating the cleo. ton of Breckinrdge and Lane. Who are now found
 | SUPPORTING BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE
 Every democratic Governor in the Union excent one; every United States Senator except two those two being Pugh of Ohio, and Stephen A. Douglas!

 | More than two-thirls of the democratic members oi Congress support Brecknridge and Lane. The President of the United States and every member ot his cabinet, well as large majority of the democracy of the Union support Breckinridge and Lane. This is sufficient oftself to show the false hood oi thls charge but the conduct of the candi- dates themselves and their well known views is yet stronger. Ereekinridge and Lane have at their counrys call issued forth to defend her honor and 1 rights upon foreign soil. Can as much be said ot any of the other candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency No, but while Breckinridge and Lane were ill Mexico fighting the battles of our country, Lincoln, Bell, Douglas, Hamlin and Everett were here in Congress receiving for their services eight dollars per day, and Lincoln and Bell opposing the war.
 THE SOUTH A UNIT.
 The news received here confirm the opinions heretofore expressed that the South will vote to unit for Breckinridge. The southern States that have been considered doubtful Missouri and Maryland. In the former there is as yet no Doug. las electoral ticket, and it is not likely there will be one and recent advces indicate the State is safe for Breokinridge. The news from Maryland is of such character, that even the Bell and Douglas men admit that the State is doubtful. The great surprise now is that democrats in the South insist on running Douglas electoral tickets when they must know that the only effect of such n cour.e Will be to weaken the party and strengthen the know nothings. A great many democrats who were iriehay to Douglas, seeing that such is the result oi running Douglas electoral tickets, have aban. doned him, and others are following in the same track daily In fact, the stampede from Douglas to Breckinldge is great, that it is impossible to keep the Douglas electoral tickets at the Sontb hiled up, for as fast as persons are appointed on them they decline 10 serve. What do the Doue- lasites expect to gain from running an electoral ticket in Arkansas? They we'll know that he has no earthly chance of carrying the State, and that every vote cast for him is vote for Bell. Do they desire that the State should go for Bell? Ifso. tbe most honest way to work for that object is to vote the Bell ticket directly, and thus openly and above board do that which they are doing by indrect;on. DoUGLsIsM IN OREGON
 The recent news from Oregon should be sniff. clent to open tie eyes of every southern man as to the object of Douglasism. Two United Stat senators are to be elected by the present legis'a. ture, and the news is, that the Douglas and black republican members of the legislature have united to elect black republican and Douslasite. but are prevented from doing so, by the Breckinrdre mem. bers refusing to go into the election, by absentno themselves from the sessions of the body. Tbs willingness to coalesce with the black republicans on the part Of the Douglasites, creat ed no sur rse here, as it is a part of the programme of Doupas to secure the success of Lincoln and the black re- publican party. Stitl after such humiliatng exbh. tons we told that Douglas has followers at the South who are determined to vote for him at all hazards. Can this be sol
 THE STUMP CANDIDATES.
 Douglas and Johnson are still travelling around making stump speeches, the only effect being to loose them votes. When last heard from they were in ile northwest, exrounding the beauties of squattcr sovereignty. From their success thus far in the canvass it is hoped they will, as they no intend continue it until the election. I prcsume they will also visit Arkansas to instruct the people how to vote, and to ask their votes for the offices of President and Vice President thus putting those offices level with that of a ,ownshin constable HON.
