Junius Redivivus-..GeOrge Sander
ON James Buchanan.

on James Buchanan.
By far the most trencbant piece Of po-
litical satire and invective we ever read
outside the pages of "Junius," is published
elsewhere in this paper-being an epistle
addressed to President BUCHANAN by
GEORGE N. SANDERS. We commend it to
the perusal of our readers. 1t demonstrates
how much better Photographic agent
language is than light. No character was
ever more truly drawn than this of BucHA-
MANS by SANDERS. 1t stands out from the
canvass, life>like and infamous. 1t is his
tory of all the prominent features of the
present Administration, and each feature is
an emblem of shame. But, the letter needs
no comment. Truth! is the only criticism
which can be made upon it modification
the only sentiment with which any Demo.
crat can peruse it, because no other crit.
cism would be just.

AN election for members of the Legisla-
ture has been held in Washington Terrific
ty. Returns are only received from Cow

Mr.. Greeley, in his letter to Hon. Wash
ington Hunt, says:
l should be W illing to-day to close the con
troversy on the terms proposed by Mr.. Clay
namely, an agreement that Slavery has no legal
existence in any Territory until established
there by some valid enactment by competent
legislative body, an that, on that understand.
ing, no Congressional interdict should be en-
acted.
If Mr.. Greeley is honest in this declara-
ton, why does he not advocate this course
in the Tribune, instead of urging the cleo
ton of a man pledged to the prohibition OF
slavery in the territories by Congress, with
out regard to valid enactment by com.
petent legislative body ?"

Mr. BREokINRIDGE to answer them. Mr..

1t was made heavy with protestations of love

Total. 5, I5O,O

If our assumed increase on the aggregate
popular vote of 1856, shall prove nearly cor
rect, the actual result would not probably
vary materially from these figures were the
election to take place to-day. But it should
be borne in mind that Mr.. LINCoLN's less
than tw o-fifths might be so disposed in the
States, as to carry majority in the electoral
colleges, and thus elect him, not by a MAORI
ty, but by minority. And heEeupOn arises
the only possibility of his success. So far as
Mr. BRECKINRIDGE and Mr.. DOUGLAS are con-
cerned, neither can hope for election-and
while the former will obtain Il less actual
popular vote, he will receive larger electo-
raj vote. Mr.. BELLS vote is the strongest of
the three, and will continue to increase up
till the eIection-but whether it shall be suf-
icient to elect him is certainly doubtful, if
the friends of BRECKINRIDGE aud DOUGLAS
continue their mad warfare. But with a
union Of the true national, conservative SEN
timent on Mr.. BELL his triumph would be
placed beyond question, and both the sec
:iOnal parties Frustrated.
Can this be effected? The politicians have
tried their hand upon it, and have failed.
From them We can expect nothing further in
that direction, and the matter is now wholly
in the hands of the people. 1t is for them TO
do all that may be done for the safety of
themselves aud their country. If they will
but rise to the Importance Of the great occa-
sion, they can and will restore peace to a
land distracted and endangered. 1t is to
them we now appeal. Do they want reyolu-
tiod with its terrible consequences? Do they
still prefer to cling to party names and party
leaders while the Republic is imperiled?
viii they close their eyes TO the real dangers
that encompass them and theirs, and still per-
sist in aiding to bring on the catastrophe:
They have followed the politicians until they
have approached nearly the precipice, will
they then leap into the vortex of revolution
of their own will and heart? Or will they
rather abandon their leaders Tor their own
safety and the preservation of their country?
That is the question. and the only significant
take it and answer it as becomes intelligent,
patriotic freemen.
We have this to say, in conclusion: If the
people shall neglect the high and solemn
duty now imposed upon them; if they per-
nit the Vaccinations of the enemies of the
Union to prevail by their divisions, on them
be the responsibility. If they allow mi
nority TO precipitate them into revolution,
and unjustifiable, they will be
held as criminals to history and posterity.
We now denounce in advance all trouble, all
strife, all revolution, all blood that may inn
mediately issue out of the pending election
as unnecessary. unholy, unpatriotic. 1t will
be brought about By minorities and not by
the majority; and upon the shoulders of the
aiders aud abettors be the burden and the
toll.

Tennessee Certain for Breekinridge.

A gentleman of this city wrote to relia-
BILE and well-informed citizen of Tennessee
for such facts as would be safe to bet on
in relation to the vote of that State. and
has received in return the following state
ment. which we take from private letter
dated Columbia, Tennessee, September 10,
1860:
thorne has lust returned this evening from
a canvass OF the entire Eastern Division of
the State; my father returned yesterday
from similar canvass, in company with
Gov. Harris, of the Western Division of
the State. and have been to every county
Int five in this, the Middle Division. We
have compared notes, and the unanimous
and confident opinion Is that Breckinrlhge
and Lane are bound to carry this State by
5000. Here we take all the bets we can
get on this State-but we have not been
able to invest much. Six OF the Douglas
District Electors have declined to serve,
and by the election my opinion is there
will be but two tickets in the State. The
circulation of Bells record, of which send
you a copy, is telling terribly upon the
Bell cause in this division of the State.
"The infamous doctrine of Neill S. Brown
has frightened him and his partizans, and
he has dried it up; but such doctrines
once spoken can never be recalled for their

Montgomery (AIG.) Adrertise.
We copy the above from a late number
of the Montgomery advertiser. We shall not
gainsay the assertion that the writer of the
Columbia letter, after comforting with his
father and Mr.. WHITTHoRSE, is of the opin-
ion that the Breckenridge anceyites I" are
bound to carry this State by 5000 majority
But we deny that the opinion is we'll
founded. There is really no probability
that the State will go for the BREcKIN-
RIDeE-YAScEY ticket by any majority what
ever. On the contrary, the probabilities
favor the success of BELL and EVERETT in
the State by majority of five thousand
over both the democratic tickets. But this
letter, which we presEHe was not written
for publication, lets us into the calcula-
tions Of the Breckinridge-Y leaders !;

A Sign OF SAFETY.-The Richmond En-
guireT, as the organ of the Breckenridge De-
mocracy of Virginia, betrays, in its unwonted
violence, lis sense of danger. Placed be-
tween the two fires OF Bell and Douglas, it
strikes right and left with more energy than
discretion. The simple truth is that the con-
sentative forces of Virginia have the State
in their hands, and that in November she
will lead off more than half the Southern
electoral vote against the disunion agitators
of the Southern Democracy. Let the con-
servatives of the Central States of the North,
New York and Pennsylvania, emulate the
great reactionary Union movement Of the
people Of the South, and Northern and
Southern disunionists will be driven to the
wall with the defeat of Lincoln. The South
ern conservatives are fighting splendidly the
pro-slavery disunionists of that section. Let
our Northern conservatives combine against
the no-slavery disunionists of this section,
aud the country will be saved from both
these classes of disunion agitators.-N 7.

posterous. Our first duty, then, is to avert
revolution by defeating these great sectional
parties that are urging US to it. Such def at
can only be accomplished by a union of al
who desire continuance of the Union On
the basis of the constitution II it is desirable
to avert revolution, such nnion is desirab q.
AS an effective party organization the Re-
publican is by far the stronger of the t,go
sectional parties. The Southern extremists
have not a shadow of ground to hope for an
election before the people-but the Repui il
cans have-not because of absolute numbers,
but because of the divisions of their oppo-
nents. They do not hold majority vote in
the country, and cannot possibly elect by
their own numbers. Their sole chance is in
the divisions of those gho are opposed to
them. To show the truth of this assumption
let us inspect the facts. The following was
the vote of 1856.
Mr. Buchanan received .-...-1, S38, i69
Fremont :" ........1, 341 ,264
Fillmore ... S74, 534
Thus in a total vote of 4,O53,967, the
Republicans polled less than onc-third, leav-
ing clear majority against them of 1,37l,-
4S9, or about two to one. Calculating the
increase on the rate exhibited in the two last
the total vote the present year win
be, in round numbers, 5,I50,OOO. There has
nothing occurred since 1876 in the North TO
strengthen the Republican cause, but on the
contrary developments have been made well
calculated TO weaken it, The ultra positions
assumed by its most conspicuous leaders
have tended to ALLEVIATE the more conseIva-
tive men of that section from their standard.
Their only source of Increased power is in
the fact of the opposing have-your-own-way
party in the South. And granting that this
sectional antagonism has given them in
creased strength and compactness. and allow
ing them one half the entire increase OF the
popular vote. which is quite as liberal as any
of them will claim, their vote next Novem-
Der cannot exceed one million nine hundred
scarcely twO-fifIhs of the aggregate
vote cast We have tgken some pains 10
estimate the probable vote at the approach |
ing election, on the basis of that of 1856, in |
connection with subsequent developments, |
The division in the democratic ranks, and the |

Removal of Col. Barbour.

Some of the Opposition are endeavoriDg
to create the impression that the President
removed Col. Barbour. Superintendent of the
Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, because he was
a Douglas man. Col. b. rendered his resigna-
lion to the President, and the President re-
fused to accept it. VIII tho Sc papers that
have circulated the report have the magnani-
nifty 10 correct it = Union and american.
Why did Col. BARBOUR tender his resigna-
ton to the President, aud why did the Pre-
sident refuse to accept the resignation? 1t
is alleged that the President, having deter
mined to remove Col. BARBOUR because he
has the audacity to support DOUGLAS, and
Col. b. having learned the fact, concluded to
save the President the trouble of beheading
him by resigning. But when the letter of
resignation was received, the Breckenridge
Committee at Washington prevailed upon
the President to decline accepting it. lest his
doing SO might operate injuriously upon the
Breckinridge-Yanc party in the Old Do
given by the Washington correspondent of
the n. Y. Tribune:
The reason why the President declines to
accept the resignation of Mr.. Barbour, Su-
perintendent of the Armory at Harpers Fer
ry, lies in his subserviency to the South Mr..
Barbour belongs to the +. f. VS., and,
though Douglas ElectOr, he is not fOrsaken
by the Virginia chivalry, who have told the
President that he cannot act in the same
manner in the old Commonwealth as in the
Northern and Western States. The Breckin-
ridge Committee, who are afraid that Mr..
Barbour's decapitatiOn would lose them
5000 votes in Virginia, have begged Mr..
Buchanan to decline his resignation, though
Gov. Floyd had requested him to resign
HGsh. Cor. ~ y. Tribune.
The course of the President in this matter
only renders him more contemplate in the
estimation of honorable men.

r'he NoreoIr. a-os.,ons.

The following are the questions put to
Judge DOUGLAS by the Breekinridge-Yan
elector for the Norfolk district, and answered
by the Judge in his Norfolk speech. '
1. If Abraham Lincoln shall be elected
President of the United States, will the
Southern States be justified in seeding from
the Union.
2. If they (the Southern States) secede
from the Union upon the Inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln, before he commits an
overt act against their Constitutional rights,
will you advise or vindicate resistance by
force 10 their secession. - l
To the first question Judge DOUGLAS re-
Piled So r-.t.,,
/ emphatically answer no. The election
of a man to the Presidency by the American
people. in conformity with the Constitution
of the United States, would not justify any
attempt at dissolving this glorious Union.
To the second question he replied
T answer. emphatically, that it is the duty
of the President of the United States and all
others in authority under him to enforce the
laws of the Unsted States as passed by Con-
gress. and as the Courts expound them, and
|, as in duty bound by my oath OF hdeiity 10
the Constitution, would do all In my power
to aid the Government of the United States
in maintaining the supremacy OF the laws
against all resistance to them, come from
what quarter it might. In other words, i
think the President of the United States,
whoever he may be, should treat all attempts
to break up the Union by resistance to its
laws, as old Hickory treated the nullifers in
1882 80
The Breckinridge-Yancey elector, who
propounded the questions to Judge DOUGLAS,
pledged himself that they should be pro-
pounded to Mr.. BREoKISRIDGE also when he
made his Lexington speech, as was demand
ed by Judge DOUGLAS. But, experimenting
that this might not be done, the Louisville
Democrat, and the Douglasi press generally
