Changes to Believe learn from a
correspondent of the Savannah Repub-
lican that at the conclusion of Col. H.
r. Jackson's speech in La-Grange,
three Breckenridge men changed to Bell,
almost solely on account of Jackson's
unfounded charges of unsoundness
against Bell. The honest people are
Disguised with such recklessness on the
part of Breckinridge's supporters. We
hear that Senator sToombs converted
two hundred from Breckinaidge by his
speech in Savannah lastweek-but we
believe he drives them from, Breckin-
ridge everywhere he goes. augusta

While the Hon. John G.. Mason was
replying to Mr.. Breckenridge, last
Tuesday, AMIR, Jas. Young, hoping
to embarrass him but the question to
him, "Who are you for if Douglas
goes off the track z" Mason told him
thst he was ready to answer that and
every other question; that he had no
concealment from his fellow citizens of
his views, and was bold to announce
them, careless of consequences. He
said, that in such an unlikely event as
Douglas withdrawing, he should be for

should be for him. LOUISVILLE Journal.

Lamb, who put those questions to Mr..
Douglas at Norfolk, has since admitted
that it was trap to catch him. Here
is what he says about it in the paper of
which he is tie editor:
A few weeks 60 the prospects of
breckenridge and Lane were gloomy in
the South, but since poor Douglas was
caught in the trap we set for him, the
tide has turned against him.-NorfoM

ministers to Lamb the following terri
BILE rebuke:
Does Mr.. Lamb dare to insult the
people of Virginia by averring that this
query to Judge Douglas was prompted
by no desire to clear up an obscure
subject, no desire to open the eyes of
the South, no desire to arrive at an in
telligent resolve as to his duty and
the duty of the people, no desire to
warn US of impending danger-by moth
ing but a wish to trick Judge Douglas
into an admission prejudicial to his in
terests-that his act was a TRAP, and |
his motive only to injure Douglas |
Does Mr.. Lamb consider this fair, hon |
orablo, upright, manful, straight for
ward? Win the people of Virginia |
sustain it The question we are sure
is needless. Wherever the facts are |
known, wherever this paragraph from
,he Argus is copied, and we trust it
may be everywhere copied, wherever |
5hese words are read to the people, and |
we hope they may be rung from every
stump in the State, the frank Virginia
character will rise up in manly repro
patton of the act, to which no sharpness
If invective could add u drop of bitter
less. Let it everywhere be told, the
lospituble welcome with which Douglas
vas met on first reaching the soil of
Did Virginia, was THE TRAP OF A
BRECKENRIDGE ELECTOR.
Those Questioms.-In reply to the
question of Gen. Blow, at the discus
ion on Friday night, Mr.. Lamb said
hat he had fulfilled his promise and
the questions to Mr.. Brock
nridge, which he had put to Judge
Douglas in Forfolk, but that Mr.. Breck-
nridge had declined answering them,
