GENTLEMEN IL have received your favor,
asking me to come to Mt Sterling on the etlt
and address our fellow-citizens in behalf of
Breckenridge and Lane.
1t would afford me great pleasure to meet
our friends of Montgomery, but a previous
engagement will prevent my doing SO on the
occasion named. / cannot see how any por-
ton of the Democracy of Kentucky can fail to
give their support to Breckenridge, the man
Of our own State, and standing upon the very
principles enunciatod by our State Conven-
ton of the 8th of January last besides, my
mind is very clear upon the point that Demo
cratic votes cast for any other candidate must
inure in the first place to the benefit of Bell
and Everett, and finally to that of Lincoln.
Hoping that you may have large and har-
monious meeting, / am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant.

and adds;
.As to Stephen A. Douglas, man whom
we had at one time politically embosomed, we
look upon him at this moment as one of the
most heartless, cold, and designing deInagogues
that ever did an injury to our party. To an
arrogance unprecedented he united dictato-

chin to rule or ruin his party. As to his

more absolute contempt and unqualified de-

was transacted as far as it could be- for the
President was unable to appoint a commit

Sooner perhaps than its author supposed,
the "irrepressible conflict" as an inevitable
consequence of the agitation and the teachings
of Northern Abolitionists, has commenced on
Southern soil.
The first blow was struck within the lin
its of the Old Dominion by their ianatlcai
emissary, Old John Brown, and although he
and his guilty comrades have paid the forfeit
of their lives-a cheap sacritice to the outraged
laws of the country-the work still goes on.
When the rod of oppression smote the sons OF
New England, the colony of Virginia was the
first to respond to their call for assistance,
and upon Northern soil, the blood of Virgil
mans sealed the bond Of union which New
England fapaticism is destroying.
Below we give the details of two other de-
monstrations born of the same demon spirit
which gave birth TO the bloody affair at Har-
per's Ferry.
