J. G. Brecklnrldge endorses Everett.

On the 2Ist Of December, 1883, Hon. J. G. preckin-
ridge made political speech at Frankfort, KY. To-
wards the close of it. after cOmpmentng the Northern
Democracy, he said:
"Tbere is another element at the North not large,
hut noble and true 1t consists of the cred cohos
of the old Wing party of men like EVERETT Choae, and
their associates whose conservatism culture and patriot
ism rebeled against the Republican alliance"
Nov Mr. Breckinridge is the candidate of sectional
fvctiou, some of whose leaders are denOuncing Mr..
f, erett as untrue and enemy of the South. They
have succeeded in "drivng the Democratic party to the
wall rent it in twain and seek to destroy the noble
and true men of the North upon whom the South can
alwavs rely "for safety and for succor."

men, and they certain to be elected 1t should not
be considered victory of the Democracy, but OF sound
principles The regular Democracy OF the South before
their nomination had but little sympathy with the plat
form on which Mr. Yancey, a Southern Rights mat,
placed them, and they now accept Thousands who are
now hurrahng for Breckenridge and Lane but for

Yancey's friends be called Secedersy seceder must
withdraw from large an equal body-f in this case
the seceders had been the larger body they would have
had their own way and made the nomination without

In the discussion upon the Kansas bill, March 23d,
1854, Mr. Breeknrdge, in urging the passage Ofthe BILL
uttered the following sage prediction:
"f you do pass the bill you will furnish fuel for
political Aboltionists and add 10 the fame OF those sal
amanders who only exist in the ie Of strife. If you
pass the BILL their occupation will be gone. You will
have erected barrier against which the rampant spirit

The Selma (Aa,) reporter well remarks that having
before Us nov the history of the Kansas bill and its terri
bic consequences in causing the organization of the Re-
publican party whose presence shakes the Union 70
is centre, the above sounds Ike solemn irony. Mr.
Brceknrdge prOphesies reign Ofpeace and quiet when
he knew that the North then agated from centre 10
circumference at the proposition to pass the bill
odOus the Northern people, Did he expect that by
passing the bill and thereby putting the climax upon
what the North considered an outrageous breach of the
compact made by Fathers in 1890, they would still
the voices of those professional agators who stood
ready and longing for this fresh morse? Could he have
been in earnest If so he displays wofu deficiency in
those great QUALITIES WHICH IuAfk tue
and which enable him to ioesee and guard against the
consequences of political action.
See how differently Mr.. Bell viewed the matter, and
with what wisdom he foretold its consequences In his
speech, May 20, 1854, on this very bill he said;
'r the tendency of this bill is to stimulate the for
nation Of sectional party organization, and said
in my speech the passage Of the Senate BILL regard
that as the last AID most fatal evil which befal this
country, except the dissolution Of the Union"
