State for BrecKinridge We believe that Brock
inrdgs will receive the votes OF many more
oppostions,s than Douglas who has strength
in not more than a half dozen counties at the
most, will obtain from the Democrats, The
same state Of the case we believe TO exist TO a
greater or less degree in the other States named
From the New York Evening Post Repl
The Democratic party, once so powerful and
so respectable; once so strongly inrenched in
the popular favor,is now broken into fragments.
1t deserves It's fate for it has become degenerate,
has denied the principles which once made its
strength, has renounced all that was good and
noble in its purposes, and to be weak and des
pissed and they prey of iutestnes discords, is the
proper conclusion Of a career which has become
so disgracelul.
From the st. Louis Bulletin Dem
We hail the nomination of Breckenridge and
Lane with enthusiastic delight. Noh!y, glo-
riously, worthy of the great Democratic party,
has the Convention done its work, and fulfilled
it's patriotic mission? rrle to the party, true to
the Constitution, true to the Union, true to the
great principles of Democrats, it has inscribed
upon the banners, in terms as clear as the light,
q declaration of those doctrines which are dear
o every Democrat who loves the Union and the
Constitution more than the fortunes o' any man.
We enter upon this canvass with no doubtful
words inscribed on our banners with no am
bilious and treitorous leaders at our head, hut
in the support of principles and under the lead
ot men, for which aud under whom we can and
will fight earnestly, hopefully and v,ctoriously

Sunday had scarce departed-the last stroke
Of 10 had scarce ceased its sonnd, as it pIo-
claimed that the Sabbath had ended, ere the
booming thunder of over 100 guns commenced
fring in the Park in honor of the nomination
Of John C. Breckenridge and Joseph Lane, for
President and Vice President of the United
States.
The same journal raises the hsg Of Breckin-
ridge and Lane, aud saws that leach has char.
acter thet, as hsnest men, slsnder has never
dared to assail y and that, from the Aroostook
to the Rio Grnnde, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, these nominations will be hailed with
JOY and qualification by the stern Democracy
whe love tho Union ind its Constitution"
IFrom the New York Herald, oath, Dem.l
The shortest way to rational conclusion is
from the assumption that, under the circum.
stances, the elements Of oppositio to the Re
publcaus will be frittered away, Lincoln will
thus be our next President by majority Of the
eec or!al votes.
We have no regrets, meantime, to express
over the broken down Democracy. We con-
gratula,e the American people that this cor
rupt and demoralzed party Of Juggling and
swinding spoilsmen, with political vsgabonds
and vsgrsnts as its managers, has at last been
broken to pieces from their quarrels over the
spoils
From the Dayton Journal, Rep.
Tho nomination of Breckinridge by the Sc
ceders at Baltimore is source of annoyance
to the Democracy here, which they would
gladly remove if possible. The leaders well re-
member how they encouraged their people to
shout for Buck and Breck," four years ego
and the trouble is to keep them from shouting
for Breck now. A meeting to ratify the nomi-
nation of Breck aud Lane is talked Of, but the
leaders may be able to squelch it.
From the N. Y Courier end Enquirer
The campaign for 1860 may now be said to
be fairly opened. While Northern Dema cracy
is to fight Southern Democracy to the death
for the spoils of oelce; while the Union party
withtJohn Bell for its leader, is 10 fight itself
in fog Of generalites where no ray of distinct
political principal penetra tes, the Republican
party, with Lincoln for its standard bearer, is
to contend against all opponents, for the res
toration of the great national principles Of
Washington and Jefferson. AS the campaign
now stands, there is cheering hope for R"pub-
licans-Douglas and Bseckinridge must destroy
each other; Bell must be lost out OF sight and
Lincoln must be the man 10 restore in the
PRESIDENT tial chair, new order of things for
Democratic corruption and msrule At least
such is the sign OF the hour, to cheer Republi-
cans in the work before them.
From the Chicago Herald, Deml
Sadly and slowly this lamp Of the patriot has
grown dim and shadowy Long continued
peace and prosperity have planted the canker
at the heart OF the great National Democracy.
Personal ambition, iactional hate snd the spoils
of Office have been at work. The old gian,,
that hss so often crushed out opposition, ,totters
and reels like q drunken man. Disagreement,
strife hatred and revenge sit in the holy seats
tern from the hands of mpartiality aud friend
ship. The times are very sick-almost unto
death. Reason has succumbed to passion, aud
mad selfshnesS has trumphed over love of
county and loyalty to party principles. The
Democracy at Baltimore as well as at Charles
ton hsye shown sad evidences that Wa have
Ia llen on evil times. Discord, selfshness envy
and violence have mGt MS at every step. The
fraternity Of the parry has been destroyed its
prestige annihilaed enl its organization dis
rupted. Such has been the goal to which the
men who now have the lead Of the Democratic
party have at length hurried the party Of JEFF
fsrson and Jackson.
From the Lexington tKy.) Statesman Dem.
The telegraph has already anticipated the
announcement of the nomination Of the Hon
MS candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pres
idency, by the National Democratic Conven.
tion, lately assembled at Baltimore These
gentlemen ere unanimously nominated by all
that portion OG the Convention not estranged
from Democratic principles, aud not crszed by
faDstical or interested devotion to the fortunes
of a avoriie. They are presented on a plat.
form Of principles which must commend the
cordial Endorsement of every true conservative
Democrat, North or South. We hoist lhe
names Of the nominees to our marthead with
confident hope, and enter upon the canvass
with unisigned zeal and pleasure. For such a
tickst and such platform we claim an over
whelming majority in Kentucky That the
South will be unit in support Of both, does
not admit OF a doubt.
