Tho E1eeta Of tho Mate Elections in
the Southern States.
We arc ermitted By = gentleman Of this
city 10 copy Tho following extract OF letter
from his friend residing in Kentucky, written
a.ter the result Of tho elections held on the 9th
inst, was known:
Iwrcte to you several months aEo, predicting
that all, or pearly nll of the Southern States
would cast their electoral yote5a for J3hn T..
Breckinrldge, and that Douglas could not pos
s,bly carry mora than ona otate-ali4sourl- I
now repeat this prediction, and more poaiilveiy
taa1 befnr~. The recent ele:t ons ia ul;o, H.
diana md Pennsyl lvania have convinced South
ern men :hat rtither Douglas nor Bell hare any
chance whatever Of being elected; sud there
fore the South will vote al tho more determine
edIy tor Breckinridge. It has b.en understood
forsome time pant, that Bells hope OF Tenne-
sec depended uaoa the October elections in tho
Douglas, there would have been fusion in
Tennesa- q between the Little Gianss' and tho
"nell.rinReEs,' aud the S1ate would have gone
for Bell. Not 40 now. Tbs fusion will not &C
cur; hu. many if not a'l,he Douglaaites in that
state Will co operate with the Bfeekin,idge
men, and the vote Of Tennessee viii be cast for
John y. brscklntldRe. In this State the Uoug-
and lad fam chance to carry the State. They
proposed to carry out the do o1qe pracsiced when
Coombs was elect-d rig: to keep the Douglas
ELECTORAL Ticket before the Peeple. to e9&ck tie
foreign D<uoe7utE rots, aud thus prevent l.s
going over to Bteckirzi1se, while the great
ou o, th1 natave'born Douslssites we're to
vote the Ball Electoral Ticket. The scheme
vas very nice one, but it wont work now
LAST Tuesday "need it up." The pouxlasites
VII now refuse to fu.e, and Z 5erY la:ve ma.
jofitJ Of them will desert their caudida;o snt
90 openly for Rreeklnrij84. You msy ,he,e-
fors set down Kentucky tor Dreckiu,ijpe.
Ihsre Is another scheme nfoot wh:c i. a!so
1,Renoos, but eanno: wln. Il Is this: to give
brscflnr1age the rote OF every s S,utheFu s ATE.
and alter procuring the pie. Of every eIrctor
on shn pie-hald e. ctorat tisket Of New Ycrk 10
vote tor Breck'nridgs. to "go in 1emona' and
Curly that State u aius& L,ncoIn. In other
words, It Is pr posed 10 usd the Bell aad Doug
M Las men OF New York to e4et RtcIia, idJe,
Ine atf4neeuenfls IL cunningly devised, AID will
be backed up By 4 vast amount of monev. but
doubt it's Success, a. The 35o, 900 Repnbiican
votern Of New York will give rood accouut cf
any posalb'a combination, By giving their ucket
sud their candidate a clean majority RI :; ~
tnonsaud- Further more, it is b7 no means cer-
tsln that douglas will sell out to Rrtekiu, ifaa
ae did sell out to Bell, hut a ed to BTeckiu
