THE CANVASS.


GAHsBoRo', Sept 8, 1860
MEssRs J. o. GRIFFITH 4 Co.-DEAR SRs: The De-
mocracy of this county are at this time as ever and
perhaps better united on BRECKENRIDGE and LANE
than they have been upon any man since the election
of ANDREW JOHNSON for Governor, who carried the
county by a small vote if remember correctly.
There is some five or six DOUGLAS votes in the coun-
ty more than half of which are of the Opposition.
am confident that the BREcKINRrDGE Democracy
will sustain no loss account of the DOUGLAS vote
in this county. There is quite number of voters
who refuse to support JOHN BELL on account of his
support given to the Compensation Bill. He VIII
certainly lose IN the Congressional District consd
erably on that score. The Opposition beat SAVAGE
on that question, and now great many admit that
they said they would not vote for BELL or any
other man who supported the measure, and am
certain that many will keep their word But some
win fly the track, as STOKES admitted here to-day
that he had done on that question Says ne dia say
he would never support man for any office VINO
voted for that bill, but says he viii vote lor
BELL SAVAGE and Stokes addressed the voters OF
jackson county at the court house in this place TO-
day upon the questions involved in the present Pres
ideutial election The Democracy are all right and
no mistake. He is more than match for Stokes on
the stump. The Democracy are fighting the battle
noblv in the Mountain District. MURRAY has STAN.
TON down and will hold him, no doubt There viii
be some new developments In their canvass soon
STANTON cannot stand the tide that is setting against
him now. If the Democracy are well united in
other portions of the State they are in the noun
tain counties, we will carry the State for BREc1N-
RIDGE and LANE by ten thousand votes.

If 1t is lawful, as the Latin proverb says, to be
instructed by an enemy" how much more sppro-
pirate to obtain useful information from friend
We suppose, notwithstanding their former differ
eaces that the candidates of the theatrical Democ-
racy for the Presidency and VicePresidency are
friends We infer this from their present relative
positions although from their past record we should
be led to draw a different conclusion.
We copy below an extract from letter written
in September, 1856, by Mr. HERsCHEL V. JOHNSON, to
the editor of the Philadelphia North American,
which, if the name of LINCOLN be substituted for
that of FREMONT, will be found, we think a very
pointed answer to the first question proposed to Mr.
DOUGLAS at Petersburg:
1" 1 suppose Mr.. Fremont, if elected, will prove
true to his own declarations to the platform of his
party and the expectations of his party supporters
If so, his election will inaUgurate line of policy
and Congressional action that MUST DRIVE THE
SOUTHERN STATES TO DISSOLUTION. He may
deceive his party &c. But this you will allow, is
rather broken reed for the South to lean upon and
therefore his election JCA be the signal for her to pre-
pare for the lOorSt If he redeems his pledges to his
party, and his party redeem their pledges to the
country It t1W not be in the poorer Of human 1CjSdOn
to SaUe the Union. And seeing this, is it to be
supposed that that Southern States lCiH quietly AWAIT
their ruin? Will they not take their own protection
into their hands, ADVANCE Of the catastrophe
Is it supposed that the South is so blind as not to
foresee the consequences and can 1t be expected
that she will stand still and their arrival before
she will resort TO defensive action? Vain and idle
is such expectation The Southern
States are not to be deceived True to the instinct
of self-preservation if not impeled by higher i'm
pulses they loH not until they fettered be-
fore they resort to means of defence, If they can,
or RESISTANCE, if they must"

The Press and Tribune further remarks:
The President and Mr.. Douglas.


The following letter from President Buchanan has
been handed to us for publication. 1t is written in
reply TO one from Governor Smith, calling the atten
ton of Mr.. Buchanan to a remark made by Mr.
Douglas in his speech at Concord. The remark it
self is quoted BY Mr.. Buchanan in the letter below
thus rendering unnecessary any preliminary state
ment or explanation. We will add that, while much
reprettinc that there should be occasion for such
letter we are glad to give it to the public eVi
dencng a spirit worthy of President, and course
of conduct which will address itself to the gener-
Gus sympathies of the people:
WASHINGTON, Ang IL, 1860.
Ny DEAR SIR have received your favor of the
Sth inst enclosing printed extract from the recent
speech Of Judge Douglas at Concord. You inform
me YOU expect to be at the Charlottesville Conven-
ton, and would be glad to know something of the
interview referred to- in that speech. According
to this extract the Judge states:
sThe President told me if | did not obey him and
vote to force the LecOaptOp constitution upon the
people agacst their will he would take off the head
of every friend had in office"
1t is unnecessary TO quote the alleged reply of the
Judge.
Snre,y there must have been some mistake in the
report of the speech, because never held anv
such conversation with Judge Douglas nor any con-
versation whatever aordng the least color or pre-
text for such a statement. 1t not in my nature
to address such threatening and insulting language
to any gentleman, Besides, have not removed one
In ten of his friends. and not of his relatives
Even among those of his friends who have rendered
themselves prominently hostile to the measures of
the Administration majority still remain in office.
Knight add that have never held political con-
versation with Judge Douglas on this or any other
subject since the day my first Annual Message of
the Sth of December, 1851, read in the Senate;
and did not transmit the Kansas constitution to
Congress until the2d February 1858, the question Of
slavery not having been decided by vote Of the
people until 2lst December 1851
Now, my dear sir, in writing thus to you have
transgressed rule which had prescribed for my
self not to contradict any statements assailing my
public conduct and character until after the con-
elusion of my term of Office. A statement, however,
comes with such force from Senator of the United
State who is of my constitutional advisers and
tps, TOO, IN published speech delivered by him in
MS eanyass for the highest elective Office in the |
world, that deem the present case proper ex-
eepuon. Yours, very respectfully,
II w.. JAMES BUCHANtX

CoNFIDENT-The Bell men have caught the "bom-
basticn from the Douglasites, and vie with those
cheerful patriots in the variety, volume and absur
dity of the several gases introduced by them into
the campaign. For instance, that vast gasometer,
the Boston Courier gets off the following
1--WE see no reason to doubt that the entire South
ern vote of 100, except the of South Carolina will
be given to John Bell and Edward Everett. For we
cannot conceive that Texas will throw away her
vote on Gen. Houston, but will be most likely to
fall in with the general course of sentiment at the
South And as for Arkansas, the election Just con-
cuded there settles the point conclusIvely favor
of the Union cause with her."
The Courier is certainly too generous. South Caro-
lima is as sure for Bell Arkansas ard Texas. and
the gasOmeter does itself injustice to concede even
that State to Breckenridge. 1t is true that the
Breckenridge ticket has just swept Texas by from
$4,000 to 10000 majority, and that the Breckenridge
men have elected al their candidates in Arkansas
by majOrItes ranging from 5000 to 10000 and that
there were not dozen Douglasites and Know
Nothings chosen to the Arkansas Legislature. STILL
as Mr.. TOots remarks, sit signifies nothing. "-GeU

A DOUGLAS LEADER IN DANGER SHOULD LINCOLN BE
ELECTED.-Mr. DOUGLAS in his Raleigh speech said
that "the election of LINCOLN would be no cause for
dissolving the Union, and that he would use force
whether as Senator or President to carry on the
Government and preserve it from disruption" In
his Baltimore speech he is reported saying that
he would hang any who resisted in the event Of
LNCoLNs election, higher than Virginia hung JOHN
Brown. The editor of the Atlanta Southern Co7fcd-
erdcy a DOUGLAS organ asks, " What will the South
do If ABRAHAM LINCOLN is ?" and thus replies
ave answer this interrogatory by simply stating
that the South will never permit Abraham Lincoln
to be inaugurated President of the United States.
This is settled and sealed fact 1t is the determi-
nation of all parties at the South And let the con-
sequences be what they may-whether the Potomac
is crimsoned in human GORE and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. is paved ten fathoms in depth with mangled bo-
dies or whether the last yestge of liberty is swept
from the face of the American continent, the South
the loyal SOl the Constitutional South loiH neuer sub
NIT to such humiliation and degradation the inaug,-
ration of abraham Lincoln"
Putting this and that together. we think the Con.
federacy will be apt to exolaim, should LINCOLN be
elected, " save me from my friends"
