The LATE SOUTHERN ELkcrIoNs, AND THRiR
WAkNIKG TO OUR DEnocRArlc cPOLIrlc1ANs,-We
have heard enough from the late elections in
North Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri to war
rant the opinion that in the Presidential election
Of November the Democracy win lose all the
border slave States from Missouri to MARYLAND
Tennessee, also, may be added to the number
swinging round to Bell and Everett, with the
remarkable changes which are going on in the
great political tidal currents 81 1860. in the
Southern division of the Union. n
While there was reason to believe that the
Breckinridge Democratic ticket would command
the solid electoral vote Of the Southern States,
there was reason for urging upon the popular
conservative elements. Of Pennsylvania and New
jersey, New York and other commercial and
manufacturing States Of the North, the policy Of
concentrating upon Breckinridge and Lane, with
the view Of defeating the Republican ticket in
fair and square contest before the people. Now
the impossibility Of any combinations whereby
Breckinridge can be elected by the electoral col
leges, reduces him and every other Presidential
candidate opposed to Lincoln to avery grave
responsibility 70 the country.
Looking at the popular reaction in North Car
oiina' at the decisive defeat of the breckinridge
party IN Kentucky, q the decisive reaction in
the g; Louis district Of Missouri, in favor of
