Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1860-10-26
[From the Memphis Eagle and Enquirer !
Can Lincoln be Elected?

The deep and universal interest felt in the ones
ton, twill Lincoln be eelcted has induced us to
look with some care, into the electoral vote in 500.
That vote is 3O3; and the successful candidate
must get l53. If we give Lincoln the vote Of ev-
cry Northern or free State, but New York be can
not be elected by the people.
Maine, New Hampshire Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Delaware Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Michigan,
lows, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, and Calor-
MIA, altogether, can only give him l5l votes; and
that will not elect him. II is not at all probable
that he will get Delaware or New Jersey. But
even should he get the entire vote Of the free
States, he cannot be President, unless New York
viii vote for him.
1t is now pretty evident that she will not do 50
for the fusion there is regarded as complete The
Douglas, Bell and Breckenridge men are joining
their efforts to pu aside such calamity as that
which might beiall the country in the election Of
Lincoln. All may depend on New York She
holds the fate Of the country in her hands 1t is
her aterest il is the interest Of ALL 10 put down
sectionssm and il she will be but true TO herself
and to the high behests of the country, all will be
safe.
The late Indiana election is indicative OF con-
dition of things there that may not exist in the
Presidential contest; for, by that time there may
be union of all the opposition in that State; and
il so, Lincoln cannot carry it. II is probable too
that California and Oregon may be with us in that
contest
In any, the darkest view Of the case, however,
IL is very plain thst Lincoln cannot be President Of
the United States if the Emnirc State says ano y
and the present indications declare that she will vet
save the Union despite the fsnstcisms of the North

The Breckinridgers of Pennsyl-
vania Refuse to Unite with the
Bell and Douglas Men Against
Lincolnl

The Breckenridge State Central Committee of
Pennsylvania assembled on Friday last and, altho
having heretofore agreed to fuse with the Bell aud
Douglas men, TesciHded the resolution agreeing to
such fusion, and adopted in its stead another reso-
luton, declaring it inexpedient TO unite with the
Bell and Douglas men agains, Lincoln, in the ap-
preaching Presidential election. The Committee
therefore, nominated straightout Breckenridge
electoral ticket and intend to fight the Presidential
battle in Pennsylvania on their own hook We
have the proceedings of the Committee before US,
but we have no room for them to-day.
Thus, the course OF the Breckenridge men in
Pennsylvania presents conclusive evidence of the
fact that 1t is their deliberate purpose 10 do all in
their power to effect the election of Lincoln They
know that, without thorough union of the oppo-
nents Of Lincoln in Pennsylvania the twenty-seyen
electoral votes of that State will necessarily be
thrown for Lincoln and the Black Republicans
Yet in the face Of this obvious and admitted fact
these Breckinrdgers fartieusly and traiorousy re-
fuse to enter into any fusion union with the Bell
and Douglas men--thus calmly and deliberately re-
solving to give Pennsylvania TO Lincoln And
yet too, these Brecknridgers Of the North profess
to be the special friends and defenders of the South
and Southern rights Cannot the Breckenridge
men in Virginia and the South now clearly see that
their Breckinrdge allies ut the North are wolves
in sleeps clothing-thst they are the very worst
enemies the South has at the North? De they not
see that they cannot be trusted or relied on--that
their Whole and sole object is to bring about the
election of Lincoln

A DRUyKARDs BRAN,-Hyrti, by far the great
est anatomist of the age used to say that he could
distinguish in the darkest room, by one stroke OF
the scalpel the brain Of the inebrae from that Of
the person who had lived sOberly. Now and then
he would congratulate his class upon the possession
of drunkar1s brain, admirably tilted, from its
hardness aud more complete preservation, for the
purpose of demonstration. When the anatomist
wishes to preserve human brain for any length Of
time, he effects that sbieet by keeping that organ in
vessel Of alcohol. From a soft, pulpy substance,
il thea becomes comparatively hard but the ine-
brate, anticipating the anatomist begins the ndu-
rating process before death--begins il while the
brain remains the conseCrate1 temple Of the soul
while its delicate and gossamcr-likc tissues still
throb with the pulses Of heayen-born life, Strange
infatuaton, thus to deseorate the god-like Terri
BILE enchantment, that dries up all the fountains o
generous feelings, petrifes eli the tender humanle
and sweet charities of life, leaving only brain o
lead and a heart Of stone

A FIRsT-RArE NorIcs FOR AMERrcA.--The Liver.
pool Times, in review of the commercial relations
between Great Britain and America, says
The commerce of America now extends 10 every
country, and IL possesses acommercial marine Which
falls short only of thatof the Old Country, and far
excels that Of any other nation. Like the country
from which il sprarg, America offers safe refuge
for the political exile and asylum for the oppress-
ed of every nation, aud the ample shield Of lis pro-
lection extends over the humblest citizens in the
mc5t distant region Of the earth. The redundant
labor and capital of the Old World find profitable
employment with this young and prosperous COM
munity. and adventurous spirits from all countries,
impeied by the desire for wealth, and crowds hy-
ing from the poverty aud tyranny OF. their native
lands, merge their political and natural differences
in the proud title of citizen Of the United States
The dense forests, which in the time of our grand
fathers unbroken solitudes, and the wide prai-
res which were the hunting grounds of savages,
are now waving corn-ields, the capitals of -four
ishng States, and the crowded seats of native man
ufactures, or the busy marts of trade.
