Hon. A. I. Hamilton, of Texas, spoke at
Austin OF July "a. Tie informed his au-
dience in plain terms, so the Gazette says,
that they need not suppose, because they
saw so much enthusiasm around them for
Breckenridge and Lane, these gentlemen
stood the best chance OF being elected. On
the contrary, he thought that Mt Lincoln
would be elected. that Mr. Douglas would
be second, Mr.. Bell third, and Mr.. Breck-
inridge would be last.
Hon. J. J. Crittenden will never join the
DisuniOn,sts. In his recen: speech al Louis.
viiie he said;
But, whoever be elected. he should be
sustained. No state, or set Of states, should
start up and rebel and resist by force OF arms
a President of the United States elected by
the people of the United States. No mi.
nority should act the dictator, unless they
are ready for revolution and anarchy. Ii
our President misbehaves, let us call him
10 account in legitimate way, according to
the constitutional forms of our Republican
Government, and displace him at the con.
stitutional time.
The Atlanta (Georgia) Coniederacy, Doug.
las organ, gives curious account Of Mr..
Johnson's reception in Savannah, where he
made speech lately. It says that when
ever he mentioned the name OF Breckinrdge
"these precipitators would yell, whoop,
scream, and assume all the gyrations OF the
ape coupled with the growing vociierat ions
of the spotted hyena."
The Editor OF the Chicago Journal hos

Of Vandalia, lllinols,-in Egypt" nting

years ago there were but seventy Republican
votes, Lincoln and Hamlin will receive owe

the language of portion ofthe Breckenridge
party at the South, spoken with reference tc
the Republicans. AS an instance, we cop,
the following deliberate statement from the
Charleston Mercury review of the politica
aspects OF the times, and we bespeak for il
the candid attention OF all our readers:
| The Presidential election turns upon
single fact. lf the Northern people believe
that the Southern people will dissolve theii
connection with them, should the Black Re
publican party succeed in eleeting Lincoln
TO The Presidency-Lincolnw will be defeated
Should they, on the contrary, believe tha
the Southern people will submit to Blacl
Republican domination, by the election o
Lincoln to the Presldency--Lincoln will b,
elected.

has just returned from the North, reports
that Black RepublcaniSm is there makinl
headway, and has a chance of sweepln,
everything before it unless general, ener

been drinking, and exhibited no
signs OF insanity. The Jacksonville

proposed to lynch tho murderer,
but better counsels prevailed and he
was committed to jail.
