The Effects Of the state Elcc.
tiOns I'm the Southern States.

We are permitted by gentleman of
this city to copy the following extract
ola letter from his friend residing in
Kentucky, written after the result Of
the elections held on the 9th inst, was
known:-Press &c Tib.
wrote to you several months ago,
predicting that all, or nearly all Of the
Southern States would cast their cleo
toral votes for John G. Breckenridge,
and that Douglas could not possibly
carry more than one State-Missouri
| now repeat this prediction, and more
positively than before. The recent
elections in Ohio, Indiana and Penn
sylvania have convinced Southern men
that neither Douglas nor Bell have any
chance whatever of being elected and
therefore the South will vote all the
more determinedly for Breckenridge.
It has been understood for sometime
past, that Bells hope Tennessee de-
penden upon the October elections in
the free States. Had these resulted
in favor Of Douglas, there would have
been a fusion in Tennessee between the
"Iittle Giants" and the seBell-ringers,"
and the State would have gone for
Bell. Not so now. The fusion will
not occur; but many if not all the
Douglasites in that State will cooper
ate with the Breckenridge men. and
the vote of Tennessee will be cast for
John G.. Breckenridge.

Special Despatch to the Times and Herald.
LA PORTE, Oct. 3.-Doug las reached this
city at daylight this morning, in charge oi
committee OF our citizens, who accompa-
MED him from Fort Wayne. He was met
at the depot by a large number of persons,
Notwithstanding the early hour, and escort
ed to his hotel. During the day immense
crowds of people poured into the city from
all the surrounding country, and by noon
there were upwards of forty thousand per-
sons on the ground. One train from Ply
mouth alone brought in thirty-seven hun
dred. At one O'Clock a procession was
formed, composed of the Notre Dame Con
tinental Cadets, the Douglas Invircibles,
the Little Giants and citizens on foot, on
horseback and in wagons. Jude Douglas
was escorted to the Fair Grounds, where be
addressed the assembled thousands in a
powerful speech, occupying an hour and a
halt in its delivery. The greatest enthusi-
asm prevailed. He was at times interrupted
by deafening cheers. His voice was clear
as bell, and reached the farthest extremity
of his vast audience.
After his speech, be spent the remainder
of the afternoon and evening in receiving
those who desired to pay their respects to
him, and such was the throng that thou
sands were unable to gain admittance to
the hotel to see him. He left to- night for
Michigan City, on a special train, in charge
of committee from that place. The
Judge is in splendid health, and shows no
signs of the fatiguing campaign in which
he has been engaged.
