ANOTHER ALABAMA ELEcToR DEcLINBs-Mr. ellis
by, of Coosa, one of the Bell and Everett Electors
of Alabama, has declined the honor. In his letter
announcing the fact he says;
1.-THE election, no doubt, was made upon the pre-
sumption that, having been Wing, l would nee
cessarily support that ticket. It was Wing and
American dOctrine-and cardinal one, teo-that
of protection TO property in the Territories-and
having advocated it then and since Southern-rghts
man, Icould notabandon it to support men although
once Whigs) nominated by professedly new party
and not committed to any line Of policy. Where
then, should l go tor Why to party advocating
my principles, of course, and that leads me upon
prnciple) to the support of Breckenridge and Lane
even at the hazard of being call democrat.
We copy the foregoing from the Herald of yes
terday morning. The name sounded rather strange,
familiar as we arc with public names in Alabama,
and we took the trouble to examine the ''records
to find out who "Mr. Clisby, of Coosa," was. We
did not succeed however, in our search, but salts
fed ourselves that no such name had ever been on
the BELL and EvERRTT Electoral Ticket in Aaba-
ma The Yancey- Breeks must be hard run for ma
terial when they have to manufacture such articles
as the above.-I adlcdh Commercial.

Ep- We hear good reports from the First Com
gressional District OF Kentucky. Henry Burnett is
doing noble service, and the Douglas are fall
ing into the Breckenridge ranks by scores. At a
recent speech nj Tohaccoport seventeen Douglas men
and two Bell men announced themselves for Brock
inridge and Lane. So goes the Ball-rol il on
Cidrksrille JeBrsOrian.
II is strange how quiet all these "reportsn nre
kept here In the First Congressional District Of
Kentucky Even the Chapman" of the Padu-
cab Herald has not heard OF them, or he would
have put all the Shanghais in town out Of conccit
Of themselves by the shrness Of his growing
Idducdh Commercial.
It is kept even more quiet than the Commercial
supposes, for we conversed with gentleman who
was at the meeting from beginning to end-mixed
freely with the crowd bnt heard nothing of the Sc
venteen converts until he saw the announcement in
the Je6gsonian. That gentleman also stated that
Mr.. Burnett was not exactly in a fix to appear on
the stand.

solve the Union, he is on the wrong side of the line

Of two leading Republican papers afford abundant
proof that the mission Of Breckuridge Is to secure
the election OF Lincoln, and all who support the
former are, in truth, voting for the latter. Yancey

Ben- The attempt ofthe Yanccyites to fuse with
the Douglas party in this State, is mo go" The
two Anays, and A. 0. P. Nicholson have tried faith
fully to bring it about, and all they have effected is
to show the weakness Of breckenridge and to dis
courage his friends by crying out for help after their
abuse of Douglas, and their boast that they would
ride rough shod his party. The offer to fuse is
an acknowledgement of defeat and Andy johnson
confessed when he said that even if united it would
be difficult to beat Bell.

Walkers Last Hour-His Protest

A correspondent Of the New York Herald, writ
ing from Truxillo; gives some details Of sad inter
view with Walker after his capture He says:
While ON board the rcarus, ! had conversation
with Walker who handed me the original cores
pondcnce which had passed between himself and the
British Commander, which he said he would like 10
have published. He also requested me to write out
at his direction, briefprotest against his surrender
to Honduras authorities His dictGtion was calm
and Deliberate giving me ample opportunity to
write down every word before pronouncing the
next. While / was thus engaged, nm officer APP
preached and informed me that could receive no
communication from the prisoners This seemed
TO trouble Walker who then asked me to look over
the papers and note them well. The officer there
upon reported to the captain, who promptly came
up and told me to take whatever papers pleased
from the prisoner, for publication otherwise.
accordingly send you the original letters of Captain
Salmon to Walker, the reply of Walker in his own
hand, and the "Protest" which wrote out at his
dictation

PGDucAH, KY, Sept. 27th 1860.
Mr. EDrroR The above article clip from the
Clnrksville Je6ersoaian, and as live in the First
Congressional District Of Kentucky, and am very
sure that the above report is incorrect feel il to
be my duty, MS one who processes TO know something
OF the political movements in this end Of the State
to say to the public at large, that the First Con-
gressonal District Of Kentucky, will do her whole
duty in November next for the National Union
and Conservative Ticket of Bell and Everett.
know Of many Democrats in this county who say
they never voted any other than a democratic tick
ct, who intend this year, to vote for Bell Everett
and the Constitution. As for the democrats, they
are very much divided between Douglas and Brock
inridge. In this county, Douglas wiliget MAORI
ty over Breckenridge, and as for the Douglas men
going over to the Yancey ticket, it is all mistakes
ifthey do not vote for Douglas they win vote fol
Bell for the Douglas men here are for the Union
and the Constitution. do not know how the mat
ter stands about Tobacco Port, as that is in Tenn
essee and not in the LIST Congressional district o.
Kentucky, but we expect to carry Kentucky fol
Bell and Everett in November by from $1,000 iC
10000 majority.
The vote for Governor, August 1869, stood in
round numbers, McGofIin (dem.) $4,000, Joshua
| F. Bell (Opposition) $1,000. Well, John Bell in
this part of the State will get more votes than J.
Bell got while the democrats are nearly equally di
vided between Douglas and Breckenridge, which
you can see win give Kentucky to the great Tenn
essee statesman by an overwhelming majority. |
Tennessee, the twin sister of Kentucky, will only
give her noble son and tried statesman, John Bell
the same majority that Kentucky viii do, we ash
no more.
know that your county Told Montgomery i
one of the gbralters of Tennessee for TO my krowl
edge, she has stood firm and unmoved for the las
twenty years, through evil as well rs good report
and now that John Bell, Tennnessees great states
man, is the candidate and Montgomerys noble ant
eloquent Henry is in the field together with othe
noble orators, know she will do her duty.
