From Washin~tO

WASHINGTON, July -
All the statements representing that
Mr.. Bright, of Ind, had agreed 10 support
or countenance the Douglas ticket, indi
rcctlv or otherwise, are uu!oundcd In
whole or in part Information has been
received here from direct sources, stating
that he and his friends have organized a
breckenridge electoral ticket, which will
be Immediately put in the field, and that
they intend to run it at all hazards, and
without the least purpose of compromise
A Washington despatch says arrange
ments are being made for California pony
express on the Butterfield route.
A meeting of National Democrats, COM
posed of many leading politicians of this
city, was held at the Union House, Union
Square, for the purpose of organizing a
central committee favorable to the election
of Douglas and johnson.
The stories going the rounds in the pa
pers, about the quarrel between the Presi-
dent and Senator Gwin, is officially contra
dicted as entirely destitute OF foundation
In fact. it is further stated that their la
tons Were never more friendly than now
The Iifbr1,cS Washington correspond
encc says Revcr,ly Johnson will 90 to Cali
fornia on the 10Th, to argue the new Al
madin case before the |. ;. District Court.

Here is the Jathos of political hypocrisy
and mearness Breckenridge and Lane,
in their letters Of acceptance, both an
nounce themselves as standing on the plat
form of non-irterycntion Both say they
hold 10 tie doctrine of non-intervention
10y Congress or a tcrr;tor;,H legislature to es-
tablish or prohibit slavery in the terrific
TieS - The coincidence of the langua &c
Of both letters shows they were written
by one llan-rrobably by . j b. . himself.
Now take this in connection with few
facts:
The famous Davis resolutions in the [.
:. Senate, which were gotten up TO thrust
Douglas out OF The party, place the hoStili-
ty of the = Southern Democracy to him
Oh the sole ground that he opposed Con
gressional intervention TO protect slavery
III the territories. Lane voted for these
resolutions and Breckenridge heartily en-
dorsed them.
The southern FIRE caters seeded from
the Charleston Convention on the sole
ground that the majority Of that conven-
tion refused 10 adopt a,resoiution declar-
ing it the duty of Congress to protect sla-
very i'll the territories.
The Boilers convention at Baltimore
resolved that it is the duty Of the fede-
raj government, IN al its departments, to pro
tect the rights Of persons and Prope't
tslayes) in the territories.
Breckenridge and Lane spit on this plat
.orrn and say they hold to the doctrine OF
non-intcrvcntion And they go a step
further than Douglas, and declare for nom
intervention both on the part of Congress
and "tlle territorial legislatures" Not
oven the territorial legislatures, according
10 these WORTHLESS, dare pass local rcsula
tons to protect slavery.
DO they mean this? OF course not. ii
i thrown out as q bait 10 catch cudgeons.
They are simple enough to imagine that
non-intervention democrats i'll Northern
states viii DC caught Ey such cha1t Had
Douglas announced such doctrines III the
l. < Senate your Davises, Lanes, &c.
would have thrown up their Ilypocritical
hands IL horror.
However this absurd and hypocritical
attempt of tie secessionists candidates to
Hitch q line TO the tail end of the fast boat
1er,,lar Sovereignty is at least 10 mean
confession of their appreciation oil lis sail
ing qualities.

The word Is not very elegant, but It Is
expressive and means exactly what we
want 10 say every time we hear the Lin
coin men repeating the foolish tss.attle OF
the Press AMI Tr;b,0e and similar Republi-
can papers, that the pending presidential
Lane Il Lincoln Is defeated before the
people and the election forced into the
House, that body, rs ct present constitut-
cd, VIII not he able to elect; in conse-
qUcnce. tie Senate must elect from the
TWO highest candidates Vice President
and these, say those Republican authori-
ties, viii be Lane and Hamlin. So if Lin
coin Is defeated, Lane-tlIere being a Sc
cessionist ma. ty in the Senate-will be
elected
Is any body stupid enough TO believe
such twattle? Where are breckenridge
and Lane TO get their votes to place them
second on the list? They Will OF course
carry 10 Northern States, and what States
South can they get? Suppose the present
triangular fight continues in the South.
There Is Wing party III kentucky, Ten
nesee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabana,
file, that IN all these States can nearly tie
the Democratic vote. With the Douglas
and breckenridge split, can the latter get
one VI these States? Every man Of sense
must see that Breckenridge can by no pos
sib:l!,y carry four Southern States, or get

MoRr TELEGRAPH LlEs.-Last week the
Ohio Democratic State Convention met at
Columbus TO nominate an electoral ticket
and candidates for state Offices. The tele-
graph operator at Columbus, in sending a
report of the convention over the country,
stated THAT the convention had busted
up. split in two, DC, and that ~ Brecll-
enrid-c men had withdrawn and organi-
z.d "a separate contention. There was
scarcely q word Of truth in it. Two dele
gates only-and they We're federal office
holders from Crawford County Withdrew,
and so quietly that the balance of the
convention was scarcely concious OF it
These two delegates, with few more ie-
jrral Office holders who never had or
claimed seats in the convention, held a
meeting. and talked of getting npa BrecN-
