NEw ORLEANS, Sept. rs.
Dear Advocate The faces of the Bell.ringers
| to-day in this city are drawn out tua gloomy
| length. Genuine Democratic thunder has
reached their ears from Tennessee, the home Of
| their mum candidate for the Presidency.
Mr. James Britton, Douglas elector for the
| First District, and W. H. Malone Douglas
elector for the Second District, have proposed
10 withdraw in favor Of the Breckenridge
electors, in order to keep Bell from carrying
Tennessee! They even go SO far as to express
q determination to keep Bell out of the House!
The following are the propositions they make:
| That we have but ono Democratic Electoral
| ticket in Tennessee, and il that ticket should
| be elected by the union of the Breckenridge
and Douglas men, then the vote of the State
| shall be cast rs follows: lst To be cast for
MIR. Breckinridgc, provided it will elect him !;
| but if il will not elect Mr.. Breckenridge, then
elect him. IT, however. the vote Of Tennessee
will elect neithcr, and there is no election by
| the Electoral College, then the vote Of the
State to be cast, first, for Mr.. Brcckinridge,
| provided it will put him into the House of
| Representatives over Mr.. Bell, If not. to be
cast for Mr.. Douglas provided it will put him
into the House over Mr.. Bell.
The above proposition is made in good faith,
and for the purpose of securing union Of the
party in Tennessee. II il is acceded to by
both parties, will retire from the canvass aud
| leave Col. Watkins, the Breckinridge clector in
this District alone In the field, but If the pro-
position is not agreed to, shall continue, as l
nm now doing, to prosecute the canvass for Mr..
Douglass with what little ability eau coni-
mand.

Having read the proposition of Mr.. Britton
| (the Douglas Elcctor for the First Congress.
sional Disrict) take pleasure in saying I
| fully concur in the same, believing the propo-
| sition calculated to subscrye the very laudable
| ends proposed therein

in the issue of the 2lst we find the following
acceptance from the Democratic (Breckinridge)
State Central Committee
To THE ELECTORAL CANDIDATES ON THE
BRECKlNRIpGE TICKET IN TENNEssEE--Thc
undersigned members of the Democratic Cen
| tral Committee of Tennessee, supporters OF
Breckinridge and Lane, have bud under con-
sideration the proposition Of Mcssrs. Brtton
and Malone, candidates on the Douglas elec-
toral ticket in this State, and after mature dc.
liberation, they unanimously recommend 1t 10
the acceptance Of the Brcckinrdge Electoral
candidates. In doing so, they assert their I'M.
diminished attachment TO the platform Of prin.
ciples adopted at Maryland Institute, l'nl,i
more, on the 23d of June last, and to John G.
Brecknridgc and Joseph Lane, the candidates
placed on that platform. And while they are
opposed to Mr.. Douglas md his doctrines, they
do not hesitate to declare their preference for
I him over either Bell or Lincoln.

Mr.. Haywood, Breckinridgc clcctor responds
in the Union Of the 22d, accepting the terms
proposed, md says If elected he will vote for
Douglas If it be necessary to bent Dell or keep
him out of the House. lie at the same time OK,
presses undminishcd devotion to the cause o
the gallant Kentuckian.
II is generally conceded that this corrcspon
dcncc will be the cause of the withdrawal o.
the entire Douglas ticket in Tennessee in favor
of the Breckenridge Electors, thus securing tt
our noble leaders the vote of the State bcyont
