Editors Of the Union and american:
We had rousing meeting of the Democracy here
to-day to ratify the nominations of BRECKNRIDGE
and LANE for President and Vice President by the
National Democracy at the last Baltimore con-
vention Col JoHS X. Howard made an able
and eloquent speech, giving suecinct but
complete history of the action of the con-
vention at Charleston and at Baltimore. His
speech had "a capital effect, and the Democracy
here Will go into the canvas with ar1or and will
prosecute it with energy. We hope Col II. will be
found in the front rank of the Democratic masses,
bearing as he did to-day, the banner of Kentuckys
young and able statesman and the "MARIoN of the
Mexican war" and indicating the loyalty of the Ma
tional Democracy to the Constitution and the
Union.
Col b. Z. THOMPSON made an enthusiastic speech,
the nominations, which well received
by the gallant Democrats of cid Wilson.
Speeches were also made by RoBT. CARUrHERs, jr.,
and Mr. CossTr, full of ardor and loyalty to the
Democratic party.
There are few DOUGLAS men here, but they be-
long to the Opposition party, Mr.. BELLS friends had
better look after them. WILSON.
The Lynchburg Rep,biem. heretofore strong
DOUGLAS paper, has hoisted the flag for BREcKNRDGE
md LANE.
Mr. GLASS, the editor, was delegate to the Balt-
more Convention. ..
In Letter to his paper, written from Washington,
.fter saying that the only way in which Virginia
AN be saved to the Democracy is by the support of
and LANE, the editor proceeds:
IL see no other hope for our party and our sue
ess and authorize you to hoist their names at once
It the ihead of columns. | do this the more
heerfully, because from all can learn Breckenridge
las had nothing to do with the unprincipled schem-
ny of those who have brought upon us ali our ca
antilles His name has not been before the Conven-
ion at all, and his special friends have not made
hemselve OfliciouS in the matter. There has been
n their part plotting or contemplating to as
assInate the Democratic party for their own amOltl-
us and selfish purposes. he Is sound and reliable In
very respect and eminently qualified for the high
st lonors of the nation. Every Democrat, there
pre- in the South, safely, confidently and con-
stently rally to his support without any sacrifice

nited, harmonious and prompt support of the ticket
