The malicious story published few days ago.
that Mr. Breckenridge was about to retire from
the Presidential contest is effectively refutod by the
c0rIespOu deDcs We publi,h in another column OF
this paper. So far rom giving up his nomination,
Mr. Breckenridge is to appear, on the 5th Of next
month at public meeting near Lexington, Ky,
to add cas- the assembly in defense of toe principles
of bis party. His fiends Ia his own State thnk it
desil able that he should meet the inputaton cast
BY Mr. Douglas and some Others upon
his loyalty to the Union, and that the
most effective way to do it Is By q
personal ADDRESS. Who the others referred to are
We of course, have no special mesas of knowiog
but We know of nobody who may more properly bo
designated by the term "charscterless politicians
g of lesser grade" whose caDt Mr.. Douglas has
adopted, than such men AS Wise and YaOcey, who
persist in the childish ayowal If dete animation to
dissolve toe Union, in certain contingency. That
Mr. BrtekiuIidge and his friends should think it
necessary that Presidential cand date should take
60 unusual step as to appear at and address
public met ting, is very significant indication of
how absurd and meaningless the threat of disuniou
reslyis, and how certainly the mere fear of its being
taken in earuest held, at the South as an Influence
to be seriously deprecated. Mr. Breckenridge, We
trust and believe, will be more successful in con-
passing the purpose for which be appears be-
fore the public, than his great rival, Mr. Douglas.
Nobc6y Sc iously believes that he is tainted with
the beresy of Sqcatter Sovereignty, aud we have
10 doubt he will easily convince the country that he
and biz party are faithful to their Constitutions
obGest ,ns. But poor Mr.. Douglas moved ooly
by fhal pety ba, been 10 search of bis mother for
several wetks, proclaimiog his loss all over the
country, and seems still as far as ever fiom the O6'
ject of bis afectloDate pursuit. Mr.. Breckenridge
Will have no such bad luck.

THE EUROPEAN PENTARCMY.

Events, of which Louis Napoleon is at least the
active agent, are slowly but uninterruptedly de
str yiDg the political and d plOmatic framework of
fraud, violence and arrogant assump tiOn raised
upon the foundations of the treaty of Vienna. The
Holy Alliance having been blown up, together with
the MalakOff and SeyastOpOl, now comes the turn
of that celebrated Pentarcby which was brought to
light at Aix.la Cbapelle, in 1918, by the combined
agency of Metternich and Gesselrode. At that
time aud place, the triad of Austria, Russia and
Prussia constituting the Holy Alliance, admitted
France by suferance aud on good behavior, Pozzo
di Borgo, the CorsicO Russian diplomat, having re-
ceiyed several millions of francs ia lees from Louis
XVIII, together with an eventual appointment
as a peer of France to plead her cause before
that absolutist AreOpagus. England, although her
Government was then in the hands of the Tories
ENTERED the combination under protest, and wit
reserves as to her independence of action in certal
cases; and thus the celebrated Pentarchy was
formed. The Liberal movements IN Southern Eu-
rope in 1928, as well as 1880, shook the edihce
the separation of Belgium, the destruction oil the
absolutst principle in Spain and the destruction OF
the constitutional kingdom Of Poland, were 80
many results of concessions made by certain OF
the PeDtarchs to the exigencies Of the others, as
in the case OF Poland and Cracow, or 10 public
opinion in England and France as in the case Of

The Louisville DsmOcrat-the leading Douglas
organ in Kentucky-bas been deceived by some of
its Eastern correspondents into uttering the fol-
lowing;

If tn refers to the LINCOLN Electoral Ticket
the falsebOod svery gross and foolish. Thetwo Sc
material Electors on that ticket were designated and
commended by us for the position thus given them
before we knew toat any one else preferred them.
Very likely, hundreds OF others thought of them as
sooI as we did-lndeed, the happiness OF the selec
ton renders this eIceedi' gly probable. Suffice it
that they we're our decided choice from frsttO last
md that every thing went at the Republican State
Convention substantially as We wished.
If The Democrats reference is to the Douglas
Electoral Ticket, it is equally at fault. We d. not
"scOd about that ticket. Ii suits US very well
But the attempt to get votes for it BY representing
ten of those borne upon it to one set Of voters as
for Douglas and to another as for Bell, is naked
swihde, and we expose it.

When the Bell. Everett Ratification meeting was
held 10 this city, Oh the 9th of June last among the
dittnpu shed gentlemen mentioned by the reporters
10 their next morning reports, as up n tho platform
was Mr.. De Peyster Ogden. We announced only
on Saturday, that be Withdcaws his name from the
Douglas Electoral Ticket decn6gto give the sa &c.
ton of TIA, name to an agreement which hands his
party over, body aud soul, TO the Douglas Democ-
racy.
We have row another announcement to make OF
a similar character. At that same ratification
meeting, fourth in a log list of Vlce.Pfesldents
stands the name of Mr.. VIM. L. Dodge, one Of the
most esteemed aud hOoorable merchants Of this
CIV. of the well-known house Of PHELPS, Dodge
& Co. This gentleman also repudiates the COZ
rupt bargain made at Syracuse, whereby Messrs.
Brooks & Co., contrary to all mercantile usage,
,old out their stock aud trade without so much AZ
a single "value received" or "prouise to pay
in returp. Mr. Dodge is evidently Of tOat class Of
tradesmen who do not reckon principles in their
account of stock Of merchautabe articles. His
vote and Influence are to be gwen to the Repubi-
cab ticket.
Men of political position do not change easily
from one party toanother. 1t must be very strong
motive which induces them TO forego former political
as, ocations to resist the eutreates of old political
associates, and to submit to the inevitable misrep-
reseDtation and abuse which such course is sure
to bring upon them. But when such men are 50
moved, how much Easier is it for humber members
of the party, who have no public position to con-
slider sacrifice, to follow In the same path. The
decision which Mes,rs. Ogden aud Dodge, aud
mary other leading meu OF that party have come
to, will be justified by thousands of their associates.
Among the inalieDabe rights which white men
insist upon retaining is that of not being sold with
cut their own consent.
