How TIE SECEDERs FEEL-The Wash
inston correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer writes on the Sth inst:
I he result of the Kentucky election is
perfectly overwhelming and crushing to
the Seceders, They expected the election
OF McClarty by twenty thousand majority;
they were assured by Marshall and others,
late leaders ofthe Bell party, that McClarty
would receive large vote from the opposi-
tion,and that as for the Douglas opposition,
IL amounted to nothing. You can mag
Inc their CONSIDERATION, when the thunder
bolt came upon them of his defeat by a
great many thousand. This result has sat
istied all discerning men that all hope for
Breckenridge III the South is at an end,
for if he cannot carry k. ntucky, what
State can he carry?
Let our friends in Lexington or Frank
fort be on the look out for Il caucus of the
prominent boilers from various Southern
States, who are to meet the Vice Presi-
dent as to the policy of his withdrawal
You may rely on it that the strongest kind
of a pressure for his declinaton is to be
made and in all probability the effort will
be successful. Gen. Lane is now in North
Carolina, and has been coldly received;
his utter rout in Oregon has so disguised
him, that it is doubtful whether he will
ever return to that State The homes of
both Breckenridge and Lane have now re-
pudiated them.

O!.p jos L,NE-We have not lately
heard much in the Republican PAPERS
about Old Joe Lane. Up to few weeks
ago, they maintained stoyt!y that if Lin
coin WAS defeated, and the election forced
into the House, Old joe Lane would GER
tainly he the next President, as the House
would be unable to elect. and the Senate
would elect Lane Vice President This
view Of the case was so persstcn:ly pre-
scented by the republican papers, that
their readers actually began to believe it ::
but at the same time, the signs from New
York. Connecticut. Rhode Island. &c.
forced another belief upon them, and that
was that the election of Lincoln was out
OF the question. This being settled, the
conclusion inevitably followed, that the
only way 10 defeat Joe Lane was to aban-
don Lincoln and vote for Douglas a
stampede III that direction very suddenly
spiked the guns Of the republican papers
about Joe Lane, and they now scarcely
mention his name.
