"We raise, to-day, the names of Douglas
and johnson, and under that flag we enter
the present contest, prepared to battle for
our standard-bearers, the chosen representa-
tives of National Democratic principles, and
to lend whatever help we can to avert the
blow of traitorous hands, Black Republican
and eyites-that aim to strike down the
Union"
The Massillion (La.> Banner. paper that
has espoused the cause Of Breckenridge and

name is a tower of strength among the masses
in that State has taken the stump against the
disunionists This of itself makes that State
doubly sure for the Little Giant The peo.
pie of Georgia idoize Stephens and they will
follow wherever he leads.
A prominent citizen of that State writes as
| follows:
"Never were there greater changes than
are going on in Georgia. 1t seems almost
impossible, under the circumstances, and yet
if these changes continue we shall carry
Georgia most triumphantly Look out for
earthquakes The people are just rousing
from their slumbers"
The Confederacy published at Atlanta, Ca,
and the most prominent and influential paper
in the State, says:

A prominent citizen who takes but littl,
part in politics, in letter from New York

South, who was a member of the Nationa
Democratic Convention, and acted with the
friends of Mr.. Breckenridge. These gentle
men all concur that the re action now going
on is likely to prove disastrous to Breckin

Judge Campbell, says the Mobile Register
is out for Douglas, as is also Chief Justice
fancy and Judge Nelson, all of the Supreme
Court In Kentuckey, the revolution is still
more glorious. Change upon change has
taken place there since the election, among
prominent politicians as well as the masses OF
the people. Hundreds who voted the Breck.
inridge ticket, have openly come out aud
declared for Douglas. No wonder that Mr.
Breckenridge and his friends have become
awfully alarmed. But he can't by ten thous
and speeches retard the glorious uprising o.
the people. The Revolution is onward and
onward still. As well might he attempt tc
roll back the waves of old ocean as to breast

their whole gang of disunion adherents to a
sure, but merited political destruction.
