The State Elections that occur before
the Presidential contest are all over. Sci
dom have their indications been more en-
phatic and significant.
In every State the Democrats have re
ceived sentence at the Polls
New Hampshire led the way last Spring
Here the Democrats had hoped for gains
which they could interpret as signs o
reaction from its former Republicanism
But they were disappointed. They were
beaten worse than they had been before.
Connecticut followed. Though despc
rate efforts were made and money lavishee
to secure Democratic majority. they were
unavailing. The Republicans carried it
la Rhode Island the Democrats wen
into coalition which gave them partia
success. but for which they had to pay tho
heavy price Of breaking up their organiza
ton. and awakening public sentiment
which will prevent the repetition Of the
same tactics
Next came the Southern Elections il
August. North Carolina, long their strong
hold, tho only carried by such reduced
majority as to leave their prospects for No
vembcr worse than doubtful.
In Arkansas, another Democratic strong
hold. they were beaten by an Independent
candidate
In Kentucky. they encountered crush

them.
Then came Maine, which increased it,

TIE Position OF Hon. ALBERT G. BRowN-The
Constitution of this morning says: Upon the au-
thority of intimate personal and polcal friend Of
the Hon. A. G. Brown whose peculiar relations
with him Justify the utmost confidence in what he
asserts, deny the report that that distinguished
Senator intends opposing the election of Breckin-
ridge and Lane. The last conversation had by Gov.
Brown previous to his departure from this city,
Thursday morning, was with the gentleman alluded
to. He clearly avowed his determination to sup
port ticket though it is true he could not agree
with the letter of acceptance Of Mr. Breckenridge,
in so far as it embraces him in the general express
sion that the friends Of constitutional equality do
not, and never did, demand slave code" In view
of the fact that Gov. Brown spoke at the Breckin-
ridge and Lane ratification meeting in this city
Monday night last this statement is scarcely neces-
sary except that the letter of acceptance alluded to
has appeared since"

PREcEPT VERSUS PRACT1CE.-At the Breckinridpe
and Lane ratification meeting held in Washington
on Monday evening last the President of the United
States is reported to have said that neither Brock
lnrldge nor Douglas got regular two-thirds nomi-
nation, hence any Democrat was at liberty to vote
for either as he preferred"
While commencing the impartiality of the Presi-
cent as becoming the dignity of the Chief Executive
leave leave to say that His Exceency's practice fails to
GGly with his precept. Since the nomination of
poug,ns and johnson, the axe of prescription has
oeen brought to the heads of many of the best SER

TIE CHARLESTON BREcKINRIpGE AND LANE RATI-
HIcArIoN.- AT the Charleston Is. CD Congressional
District ratification meeting, held on the 9th inst,
resolutions endorsing the action of the Richmond
convention and the nomination of breckenridge
and Lane were read and adopted. Two of the reso
buttons are as follows:
Resolged, That in the course pursued by the del
egates from South Carolina in the Richmond Con-
vention, we recognize stern fidelity to the rights
of the South and hail their success in the results
which have been accomplished, with our most cor
dial approval and congratulation.
Resolr2 That the approaching Presidential cleo
ton will prove to the people of the Southern States
the nature of the government under which they
live, whether it is free government under the re-
straints of living Constitution or sectional des-
potism under the control of sectional ambition,
avarice and fanaticlsm

SUMNER TRAvEl.-The Baltimore Patriot says
the annual exodus of the Summer Solstice has al
ready begun Every train that comes in, and each
train that departs brings-on their way North, or
to'the Mountain Springs of Virgna-or takes away,
to the seashore Saratoga up to the shady heights
of the Alleghanies crowds of citizens who have the
leisure and the means to get away from the long
rows of brick and mortar"
We believe that the amount of travel from the
South, says the Journal Of Commerce. this season
has never been surpassed New York hotels, for
time past, have been thronged from the cotton
States. 1t would be a capital thing for the North
and the country, if more of our citizens were an
nualy compelled by tress of weather or some other
cause, to reciprocate this visitation

NEGRO PASSENGERS AYD TIE CUNAgD STEAMERS
By the Europa, from Boston, last October, four
groes took passage to Liverpool. Prior TO their
leaving, they received the following notice from the
agent of the steamer:
For your information, we desire to inform you
that separate table will be provided for yourself
and party board the Europa, hence to Liverpool,
where everything will be furnished you that first
cabin passengers arc entitled to- the person who
applied for your tickets did not state the fact that
the party were negroes, otherwise we should have
informed you Should this interfere with your cx-
pcctations please apply at this Office at once and
we will refund the passage money"
The negroes brought this matter up at anti
slavery gathering in Bristol England 1t thence
brought to the notice of Sir Samuel Cunard, who
responded to the letters addressed to him, as fol-
lows:
81 do not see that any advantage would result
from discussing the subject matter of your letters
therefore must decline entering into any cores
pondence on the subject"

An OUTRAGEOUS FALsEHoOD ExPosED-The fol-
lowing outrageous ia!sehood and libel the politl
cal record of General Lane we clip from the States
of yesterday:
Ills REcORD.-The Selma (Ala) Herald says:
old Joe Lane the candidate of the fire eating dis
unioniSts, while a member of the Indiana Lcgisla-
ture voted four distinct and separate times for Con-
gress to pass the Wilmot proviso; yet we hear the
par excellence Southern rights dSunionsts declare
him perfect pink Of Southern chivary.'"
We are authorized by Gen. Lane to say that this
statement is utterly false. The question never
discussed in the Legislature of Indiana while Gen.
Lane was a member. It might have been before
the Legislature while he fighting the battles of
his country in Mexico; but not while he was in
that body. Gen. Lane left for Mexico in May, 1916,
and the question of the Wilmot provso was not in
1916 and as is well known, Gen. Lane never en-
tered the Legislature of Indiana after he returned
from the Mexican war-COnstitutiO

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES During our short
trip to the North up with three of the Presi
dental candidates. First, we found Mr.. Douglas
and lady at the 9th Avenue hotel, New York. where
they spent some time quietly and then left. on Sat-
urday for Massachusetts, to visit brother of Mrs.
Douglas who is at school down there. Senator
Douglas seems quiet and calm, and to all appear
ances cares less for the issue of the Pres i'd initial
contest than almost any man you meet with.
Returning, at Baltimore we encountered Mr.. Brock
inridge who was the eve of his departure TO his
home in Kentucky -.- '.-,. .-s---.s.,
But our most pleasant encounter was with Gen.
Joe Lane, who We met in company with Governor
Winslow at Portsmouth, Tuesday morning. After
being introduced to Gen. Lane and other gentlemen
of the party by Mr.. Winsow, we all invited to
take seat in the department of the postal agent,
where We had pleasant and varied conversation un
til we reached Weldon. Gen. Lane is nearer what
our imagination has conceived Gen. Jackson to
have been than any man that we ever have ever
expect 10 see. He is tall, muscular, bOny man Of
sixty, possessed of all the vgor of thirty, with
high full forehead and well developed organization
very plain and very agreeable. He is certainly a
very firm, determined, and at the same time con-
scientious man. Though States-right man he is
no fanatic, and had he been the unanimous choice of
his party for the Presidency we would have voted
for him most cheerfuy feeling that the destinies of
every part Of our common country would be safe in
his hands. We cOnversed together freely for two
hours and while he assured us that he preferred
far as his individual wishes were concerned, retire
ment to any Office the country could give him, he
was willing at the same time to do anything or as
sist in the doing of anything that would break up
anaticism and sectionalism and defeat Lincoln.
lie gave US most fascinating picture of Oregon,
its valleys mountains, fertile SOIL game, climate,
&c, &c. lie says it is the most productive as well
as the most beautiful country in the world with
climate unequalled as far as his observation has ex-
tended and he has traversed almost our whole cOun
try, States and Territories.
At Weldon we separated, Gen. Lane being on his
way TO visit some friends and relatives in Warren
county, and from there he will go to Chapel Hill
and spend a few days with Governor Swain. Be-
ing native of the State which he left when small
boy, he assures us that he would be gratified to
have it in his power TO extend his visit to prominent
points, and see the progress which she making,
but that his stay would necessarily be limited as he
had 10 be in Maryland towards the last of the month.
We trust that his visit to the State may be made
pleasant and agreeable, and we doubt not but it
