and led bya set of violent disuniansts for the &c

thought recently that the Breckenridge Democrats
wsre more numerous than the Douglas Democrats
here, but our present conviction 10 that they are
not half 30 numerous.
The National Ticket-Its Prospects

the country this 10 the case, From every d'rec
ton We hear the most encouraging accounts.-
Here 10 Virginia, as we'll a. elsewhere. the Bell
and Everett feeling is strong and waxing strong
er. We expect to see the old Dominion redeemed
from Democratic throldom ia November next. and
enrolled under the pure and patriotic banner If
the Union, tho Constitution and the enforcement
of the laws.

triotic and conservative masses of the people. eve

The tine has come when the Sectionalsts, North

majority OF our countrymen in the Southern States
ready to join hands with the conservative natun-
al men Of the North, in reading that lesson to the
Yanccys Of their section, and the Lineoln.. the
Summers and Lovejoys Of the North. Hardly II
day passes that some evidence is not afforded that
in this conjecture we are right. We hear of
Union meetings in Louisiana, in Alabama. in
North Car4lina aud in all the Slaves States ul the
burder, and these are heartily responded to in va
rious portions Of New England. The Empire
State has already spoken for herself, and she vii
speak often, again and again. throughout the
campaign. So will the valleys of the Mississippi,
and far of Oregon and California. In view If
these cheering signs Of the times then. all over
the land, we trust the friends of the Union will
not permit themselves to he deceived with the n nj.
