The overwhelming and disgraceful defeat
Of the Breckenridge movementin Kentucky
seals the fate of the candidate Of the sece-
ders. He can now truly exclaint, in the
language Of the Bard of Avon
sFarewell, long farewell, to all my greatness !"
He had brig bit future before him; he
would probably have been President at some
future day if he had pursued the right
course, but he blasted all his prospects when
he accepted the seceders' nomination. He
can point back to that acceptance and say, in
the agony Of blasted ambition,
''There was the weight that pulId me down.
+ His example will teach Statesmen les
son; it will speak to future times of one,
brilliant and eloquent, who suffered inordi-
nate ambition to ruin his political prospects,
Even now he may admonish posterity to,
ssMark but his fall, end that that ruined him.
We may safely say that bis political great
ness is at an end The people OF his own
State declare against him by perhaps the
largest and most overwhelming majority re-
corded in her annals against any aspirant
dignifed With the name Of nominee of con-
vention.
He has touched the highest point ofa!l his great
And from that full meridian of his glory,
He hastes now to his setting. He shall fall
Like a bright exhaltation in the eavening,

Thou ART THE MAN-Last December,
John G. Breckenridge delivered speech in
Kentucky in which he said:
"The first duty Of all who love their coun-
try is to overthrow the Black Republican
party; and with this conviction, should be
untrue to Kentucky if I did not plead for the
union of all opposed to that dangerous or
ganization to fall to pieces on ques-

surrender to its dominion and all the fatal

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press says:
''It is well known that Governor Wise
and Mr.. Buchanan have not been friends for
long time. Immediately after the inau-
guration of the latter, he was requested by
the Governor to remove from office here in
Washington, all the Know Nothing clerks
that had secretly and openly worked against
him (Wise) during the great struggle in
1855. It is said Chat Mr.. Buchanan had
promised him that before his election. But
j. B., true to himself, did not remove the
enemies of the Democratic party, for which
praiseworthy act Governor Wise cursed him
most eloquently. In 1858 he sided with
Douglas against Buchanan, condemning the
latter, and encouraging the friends Of the
former by most fervent letter, GUIDING with
the words: Fight on fight on fight on !
never yield but in death and victory 7 re-
GREETING that illness in bis family prevented
him from coming to the rescue of Douglas.
"But now things have assumed quite a
different aspect Gov. Wise has ceased to
be den erous and therefore Mr.. Buchanan
could, with justice, exclaim few days ago
to some friends: i am very well pleased
with Gov. Wise. He is coming to his SEN

what reason? Because they recognize in
him the most formidable obsticle to their
own success. All the Republican organs
favor the Kentucky Intriguer. For what
reason! Because they see, or think they
see in supporting him, the readiest means Of
securing Linooln's election. Let Democrats
keep these facts constantly in view, and they

He Denies 1t.

From telegraphic despatch from Char
louisville. we learn that Mr.. Senator Mason
emphatically denied that he had, in a speech
delivered in Winchester, styled the Doug
las party at the North ga leprous band of
Abolitionists" Mr.. Mason says he a,eyer
entertained such an idea! Now we are free
to admit that the honorable Senator is pos
sessed of the infelicity Of generally speaking
so as to be misunderstood by his audiences,
but on this occasion he certainly spoke in
telligibly on this point. And we now re-
peat that Senator Mason did make use of
the expression attributed to hin,, and zoe can
prove 1t BY the certificate of one Of oar most
acorthy and Intelligent citizens, aoho took the
acords Of Senator Mason doacn at the time
they aeere dezivered! By comparison of
the notes of this gentleman with our own,
we find them identical, aoord for word The
reason assigned by Senator Mason for the
withdrawal of the Southern delegates was
that the Douglas party had become Adolf
tionized, and he declared the true Delnoc-
racy had ''sloughed off, the Douglasites as
a ''concerous part of the political 6ody."-
He also denounced Judge Douglas as ''po-
hticol traitor" We dare Senator Mason to
deny these statements. IF he does, we can
prove it by testimony as incontroVertible as
that of the honorable gentleman.
Since the above was put in type, we
have been called on by several gentlemen,
who declare that Senator Mason denounced
as "leprous Abolisionists" all the Douglas
delegates IN the Baltimore Convention =
This makes matters much worse, as it EN-.
braces the Doug las delegates from the South,
including FIVE from Virginia. Wincheste,
