Maryland sure for Breckinridge.

,, The racent election in Maryland has in- splred the democracy with the belief that the state will go for Breckinridge. As we have already announced, the municipal election resulted in an overwhelming ma jority for the reformers," over the know nothing "plug uglies.' For once, the election was conducted with perfect fair ness, and there was not the least disturb anee. Baltimore is, now the best governed city in the United States-thanks to tbe democratic legislature of Maryland. It is very probable that Breekinridge will carry !Maryiand-in fact, more than probable.

clan than ot the thinking honest statesman, in this l was very much disappointed, for had hoped to see him fired with zeal for the country,s cause.- But my preudices are not so strong as to withhold rom Col. Williams that respect which his merit as an advocate deserves, notwithstanding his cause is bad one fraught with interminable evils,
 Col Williams closed his speech by apoligizng little for what he had told the people at last March court at Springfield. He said in his speech that he hereafter expected to act with the democratic party But we see him now in the field advocating the election of John Bell. He told his reason for sun. porting John Bell, which was poor one and then took his seat. Col R. W. Harper, the young giant of Conway county, amidst loud cheers then took the stand.l Col. Harper made a great effort, and no doubt done great service for Breckiurdpe and Lane. He was continually applauded by the whole crowd, such clapping of hands and hollow ing hurrah for Harper and Breckinridge and Lane. The like never was heard before in the town of Springfield This shows this county will poll an overwhelming majority for Breckinridge Not single voice was. heard for Douglas. The little fellow seemed to be by himself. Douglas will not get fifty votes in this county certain. There is not good democrat in this county that will vote for him. l hope this will be the case all over the glorious Union, that the people will rally around our standard bearers s4e! r We have heard several speeches in advocacy of Bell and Everett, but it seems to do no good, the Bell electors need not trouble themselves to come to Conway county to preach know nothinesm to the people here. .spacewill not allow me further.

GLoRIoUs NEws.-From all parts of the State we have the most cheering news.- We hear of changes every day, both from Bell and Douglas to Breckinridge and Lane. Yesterday morning, a member of one of the most respectable business firms in this city informed us, that in his house there are four men, including himself, who have always been opposed to the democratic par ty, who deem it their duty in this momen- tous crisis to discard all political preiutli- ces and to vote for Breckinridge and sup port the platform on which he stands Another gentleman, himself friend of Bell and Everett. from Shelby county, told friend of ours that in his immediate neigh borhood eight Bell and Everett men have announced their intention to vote for the democratic candidates and with the South. We were informed last week, by gentle man of position, talent and influence. who has been making speeches for Douglas, that he feels it obligatory upon himself to aban- don cause which can now do nothing more than to give the State to Bell; and he further told us, that in few days he will give his reasons to the public for the course which he has determined to pursue. We scarcely meet a man who cannot tell us of one or more changes which has fallen un der his own observation; we do not receive a letter that does not bring good news of large accessions; we. do not read a paper that does not give assurance that the good cause is gaining ground; and in all serious ness, we believe Kentucky is now safe for Breckinridge and Lane.-LouisyiHe Cour- Ter, Oct. l6.

 EDITORS TRUE DEMocRAT-Please favor me with place in your columns for the purpose of noticino scnrsiious article which appeared in the National Democrat of the 9th inst in relation to n ,Inr headed deputy post masterin Izard county.r as the gassng squatter editor of that filthy sheet ele gantly terms him. That indecent editorial was caused bya letter which the undersigned wrote him, (couched in plain terms it is true but no sano in it,) informing him that it was waste of amuni ton to send eight copies of his paper to this office, for no one here wished to read it; and most important of all, he was desired to pay the postaqe IT ne continued sending it, and promulgate his squattertsm at the expense of the post office depart ment. That paper has been sent in bundles, to every little post office in this whole country, ad. dressed to the Douglas Club, where there are no sach clubs; and consequently nobody authorized to take it out. Now this is novel way of forcino newspapers on people whether they want them or not; and one not contemplated by the regulations of the post office department. He forces an agency on the post masters and authorizes them to distri. bnte, and if those taking them out refuse to pay the postage, send the bill to him; but he does not say he will pay it, and how could he pay the DOS tage accrulnS on his paper at every post office in the State! He won't do it. It is humbue, a pre- tence, in order to circulate his paper all over the State at the governments expense, while at the same time the whole squatter crew are hqpocr tcauu charging Mr. Buchanan with using the public money to promote MT. Breckinrdge's election.
 would have checked Breckinrdge editor as soon as Douglas editor if he had sent his paper to this office where there were no subscribers for it.
 l am proud to say that I have never helrd of one belonging to that party, attempting to take such sneakng advantage of |" Uncle Sam.' He char acterzes my letter as low flung We only have his word for that assertion and believe he has the character, since he has been editing the National. for making more assertions than he can proye.- lie can't prove that. l dare him to publish my letter and his article together and let the people see which of us writes the most low flung slang Because wished to stop him from imposing on the post office department, it was my duty to do, hs flies into great rage, and indites the m lst revolt ing and low flung language ever put in print. if only to be heard in the lowest whisky shop and which shows his infinite acquaintance with such places, and his low character.

DOUGLAS GIVES UP HIS OWN STATE.- Like fugitive from justice Douglas is seeking refuge in the South. Repudiated
 and despised at home he comes South, for the purpose of pursuing his accustomed aVooecatlon If he has influence he ought
 to exercise it at home. There is need for all his talent and eloquence in the State of ililnols. But, instead of remaining at
 nome and striving to rescue his own State rom black repnblicanism, he gives it up ana comes to Tennessee for the purpose of giving the State. to Bell He proiesses a desire for the defeat of Lincoln, and vet, in the very hour of danger, when the bat tie IS waxing hot, when the enemy, en- couraged by recent successes, and by the prospect of almost certain victory. are re- doubling their efforts, and dealing their heaviest blows; at this hour, when the conservative allies are struggling, almost without hope, against the swelling ranks of their fanatical opponents; it is at this hour and under these circumstances, that Stephen A. Douglas meanly deserts the field of battle, and rushes out of the very sight, and beyond the very hearing of every black republican in the land. Why does he come South? Because he knows that he cannot stem the resistless anti-slaverv tide, even in his own. State; because he wishes to odisturba band distract the endanger- ed south; because he wishes to involve the whole democratic party in the deep and re- mediless ruin which has overwhelmed him and his sfortunes.-Apaiancke A

From the Richmond Ennn;ror

lhe aShlngton States and Union nn- deftakes to contradict a statement abont winch 1t is entirely ignorant. Mr. Yancev ,'os p, ogerea the oice presidency on Me Doug- tds hchet, and the deliberate contradiction by the Washington States and Union of that about which it knows nothing, exhi. bits a hardihood and recklessness on the part of that journal which is almost as bad as deliberate falsehood.
 The statement first made by Mir. o. J. Wise Tn public speech in Richmond, and afterwards reiterated in an editorial in this paper, was founded upon the word of n Virginia delegate in whose presence and hearing the offer was made.
 The contradiction by the States and Un- Ion IS worthless, since it can know nothing of the facts oi the case. We, therefore reltvrate the statement made in our edito. rial oi the 1lth instant-the contradiction by the States and Union 10 the contrary notwithstanding. ni a..-aa
