HOW TuE canvass GOES.

OTHE CANVASS IN ALAnANA-Our information Is that
Coosa County will 60 by large plurality for Douglas
and johnson; that Bell aid Everett will get the next
highest vote aud that Breckenridge and Lane will be
long way in the rear of both.
'Our friends are saDgune Of carrying Dallas by hand
some maiorty aud in Tllladega the Bell and Everett
men even expect to beat Breekiurdge and Lane
I'VE also learn that the Bell aud Everett men expect to
carry Perry Greene and Tuskaloosa No tears to shed
if Douglas can't win We would infinitely prefer that
Bell aud Everett, should succeed over the dsunion forces
They are for sustaining the present Government under
the Constitution and that the paramount issue Tor con-
sideraiion.
We take the above from the Montgomery (Aabama)
Cntederaiion sound aud national Democratic journal.
The Cincinnati Rgrr also Democratic, adds TO II the
remark "The Democracy of the SOuth like their brch-
rem Of the North have 20 meet the army Of sectoaasm
aud disuuion in the coming contest If defeat should
come TO Douglas and Johnson they prefer that they shall
be defeated by Union loving men, rather than by the
dsuuioniss under the lead Of Yancey, Breckinridge
Co or by the Northern Lincoln Republicans. This SEN
timent believe is universal throughout the enrc
country"
Tuy CANVASS IN ARxAxsAs-Colone ]. c. IIndman
Breckenridge member of Congress- from Arkansas and
candidate for reelection, does not like the looks of
things as regards himself He charges that there IS
plot between the "Johusouans and the Bell and Everett
men defeat him. elect one OF the Johnsous and give
the electoral Of the State to Bell and Everett
reschery to the National Democracy coming home TO
Hndman and even Breckenridge is to get his share of
the hot end of tie poker Here is portion of Hind
mans card to the people Of Arkansas:
A Bell aud Everett KnOw-Nothng now canvssSes
against me for Congress- and adheres to the secret Gus
toms of his order by giving notice Of bis appoint
ments. The Opposition presses and politicians support
him. The Douglas presses and politicians follow upon
the same line. Johnsonian presses and politicians also
give him aid aud comfort and cast their influence in
favor of Bell and Everett by sudousy refusing to warn
the people against him. Many OF their most prominent
leaders in fact have publicly announced their intention
TO vote for hiu Evidently and beyond all qestion,
the language of facts has sny meansg there is combi-
nation formed and conspiracy entered into between po
ticans Of the Opposition party and Of the Douglas and
John, oman factions The terms Of this "batgain n-
trinrue and coalition" disclose themselves. Toe John
sonaus surrender Breckenridge and Lane and beray the
National Democracy IL order to defeat me for Congress
and elect Richard II. johnson.
The Dougasites having hope of carrying the State
for the champion OF squater sovereignty seek to ayenge
themselves for my opposition to them, and at tie
same time willingly concede the electoral votes Of Arkan-
sas to Bell aud Everett rather than to Breckenridge and
Lane. The Opposition party gain everything and lose
nothne by the arrangement; il gives them Congress
man of their own faith Governor who must needs be
subservent to hem and the four votes of the State in
the Electoral College for their nominees for President
and Vice President"
The CANVASS IN GEoRGiA.-The Augusta Coastitu-
tionalist the leading Democratic paper in Georgia. in
its issue of the 18th instant publishesWth an editorial
assent a communication signed Conservative, which
urges the union Of the national parties in that
SSts-the Douglas and Johnson and Bell and Everett
upon a srgle electoral ticket The arrangement is
that Douglas shall have five electoral votes in Georgia
aud Bell five Under the law Of Georgia it requires
mIorty Of all the poed in the State TO choose the
electors otherwise the present Legislature chooses them
There Is danger that the Breckenridge men, although
greatly in the minority in the State might carry it un
the national men combine in the urged by Con
servative" We have doubt the alliance will be FORM
ed in Georgia and in other Southern States. The Con
stitltioRalist says:
"The plan suggested by Conservative is directly in
that line 1t will if carried out result in depHVlng the
Breckenridge faction Of the power Of usiug the vote Of
Georgia for the benefit Of Lincoln; for it is evident that
every vote taken from Bell and Douglas nure not to the
elevation of Breckenridge but to the strengthening Of
Lincoln's chances
ave believe the supporters Of Mr.. Douglas and those
Of Mr. Bell can honorably come together on common
ground and If they can, it is their duty so to do
The Union men Of Georgia carried the State in 1850
bya similar alliance. Mr. Cobb and portion Of the
Democrats united with the Wings Of the Toombs and
Stephens school and beat the Dsuhionists by $4,000
iority! Cobb, who is now with the Dsunionists can
hardly complain if he has take his medicine which
| be then administered 10 the DisuDionkts.
