PROSPECTS IN GENERAL.

f4uffpbn dence Of The N. l. lnouhe'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1860.
The Breskinridge COMM tee here are in high glee
ever the advices they daily receiving OF the grow
g strength Of their candidate in States heretofore con-
ssded to Bell Theynow lay claim to the entire South,
sns only need the votes they hope for in New-York,
New Jersey and elsewhere, to secure his election.
shsuh there be no choice, they entirely confident
of sending Lane to the Senate, from whence they are
souaIy certain he will be cent to the White House.
Thus, through the dexterous which they now are
and all the while hsve been, making Of the 0d-Lne
Wings, Americans, and other peculiar Union men in
Eev-York and few other States, the supporters Of
BreekinIidee and Lane have strong expectations Of
winning Thus may the Union men Of your State
hind and wilful az some of them are, see for them
selves Ito what base have they come at last"
From the very first the contest was between
lincoln and Breckenridge. But few only would
zee H. ard less would confess it, The fact no long
or be disguised. The dissolution furor is the work
the masterstroke- the Breckenridge Committee. 1t
enables them to beat Bell out of sight in the entire
South and by it they hope-it is their only hope-o
win at the North just enough votes either TO elect
Breckenridge, or to prevent choiN, which will
eventuate in making Lane President. Every knock
down Of stocks in your market-every turn OF the
screw" In accordance with Mr. Secretary Orrs plan,
sdds TO Breckenridge Lanes chances. The plot was
devised before the consent obtained Of the gentle
men having the interests Of theee candidates in charge
% 10 into the Fusion partnership The plot was from
the beginning precisely we zee /: now; to override
BeI at the South by disunion panic, while at the
North the same means were employed to secure what
electoral votes were wanting or failing in that to pre-
vent an election by the people, with choice of Lane by
the Senate.
In planning and executing this scheme the Breckn-
ridge Committee here have not been alone. II has,
for long time been more than suspected and now is
well understood, that they have had potent aid from
your famous Dry Goods Committee of Fifteen. IL
was not an accident lha. that Committee was con-
sttuted almost wholly Of original supporters of Brock
inrdge and Lane AZ such they have labored and are
s.il laboiDg. If the trnth is TOLL it will be
made 70 appear that they relinquished the hope
of making either Breckinridge or Lane President;
xha. not small share Il the large amount of money
they have collected to defeat Lincoln and save the
Union has been employed against Bell and to help
Breckenridge in the South and that in all things they
have worked according to the foregoing plan aud none
ether.
For weeks past it has been appprent that Bells
strength which at one moment bid fair to be very for
midable, was melting away. The Bell Committee here
the alarm they feel in view of the strides which Brock
inrdee is makiDg-a progress just in proportion the
secession panic increases lis i'll concealed. In the
hope Of wilhstandiDg this current, the supporters Of
Bell, in many quarters Of the South, have already
taken extreme secession ground. And this, while his
supporters at the North are Per excellence Union men.
This only proves how skfuy was the scheme planned,
and how successfully it has been executed / doubt
thing equal TO it.
Il only remains for the honest men who have been
deceived into Fusion 10 your State particularly those
who have been deluded with the idea that there was
q remote chance of eleyating John Bell or Edward
Everett to the PIesldsncy-the real, sincere Union
men, who have not dreamed that the contest was si
The while between Lincoln and Breckinridge- act
Ike men, with that dignity aud independence which is
70 be expected from all right-minded men 8akened at
asst 10 the consciousness Of having been made the vic
inns Of stupendous fraud.
The evidence of this frsud is accommodating here
,yery hour Indeed DO elated have some Of those in
he secret become, at the success OF the plot, that
csreeIy an effort is made TO disguise it. Many who
ave 30 CALAMITY and hopefully supported Bell and
Everett, with fair prospect too Of more than dividing
he Southern vote, have well nigh lost heart through
q. the entire South-thousands, who up to within |
hs last twenty days, were earnest supporters Of Bel
nd Everett, have gone over TO Breckenridge They
LILY realize that the contest actually is between Lilo
,n and Breckenridge, and they have the resolution 20
4 accordingly. How will the supporters Of Bel and
verstt al the North act How should they
,iu they continue 10 be the instruments Of Fusion
