The Recent Elections.

Since the defeat of the Secession cam
didates in the recent State elections, the
leaders of that party are overwhelmed
with confusion and CONSERVATION. They
see the handwriting on the wall, and their
knees are shifting with alarm and dread.
Mass meetings are being called in every
direction, the great men are exhorted to
fly to the disaitected districts, and all the
appliances that recklessness and despair
can suggest, are resorted TO in the vain
hope that the wave of revolution may be
arrested and rolled back. But it won't do.
The sober conservative men Of all parties
have taken the alarm-they are at length
waking up to the fact that sectionalism
-fanaticism North and sectionalsm
South-is threatening the overthrow OF
the government, and it is an insult to
their love of country-an insult to their
intelligence and patriotism, to doubt
they will hesitate for moment to choose
between present blessings and the evils
which bad and ambitious men are labor
ing to bring upon them. We have an
earnest in the recent elections that the
good work has commenced, and, as revo-
lutions never 60 backward, the tide will
roll on until the factionists and disturbers
of the public quiet are overwhelmed.

Georgia-Douglas Democracy.

We find the following synopsis Of the
proceedings of the Douglas Convention in
one of our Georgia exchanges:
The DOUGLAS DENocRAcY.-The State
Convention of the Douglas wing of the
National Democracy, which met at Mil
ledgeville on Tuesday last, was composed
of one hundred and eighty delegates,
representing sixty counties. Hon. A. j.
Lawson, of Burke, presided.
The following is the Electoral Ticket
selected and we predict, if the gentle
men composing it canvass the State as
thoroughly as we learn they have promis-
ed to do, the Little Giant" will lead
the Yanceyridgers several thousands in
this State in November:
ELECTORS.
For the State at Large-A. II. Stephens
and A. r. Wright. Alternates--James
Gardner and Thomas P. Safiold.
For the Districts--First, James L.
Seward; Second, B. Y. Martin: Third,
Nathan Bass; Fourth Hiram Warner
Fifth, j. w. Harris; Sixth, James P. Sim
mons Seventh, James S. Hook; Eighth,
Julien Cumming.
Two Alternate Electors were also APP
pointed for each district-Col. r. w.
Sims of this city being one of those select.
ell for this district.
The Convention adopted resolution
unanimously inviting Hon. Stephen A..
Douglas TO visit Georgia.
Hon. II. V. johnson, the candidate for
tide Vice-Presidency, by invitation, made
an able speech; after which the Conven-
ton adjourned sine die.

John Bell.

Most of the Secession papers are filed
with articles charging John Bell as un-
sound on the slavery question. The same
papers, or papers of the same stamp,
made the same charge against Henry
Clay, and every other prominent man,
outside of the democratic organization,
North and South. who has been candi-
date for Office within tho last twenty-five
years. 1t has been their universal prac-
tice-pressing upon the anti-slavery sem
timent North continually the mischievous
falsehood that there were leading men
South, aspiring to the highest offices in
the government and supported by warm
and earnest friends, who were tainted
with abolitionism. And this Infamous
party cry, instigated solely for an infa-
nous party purpose, has done more than
any thing else to strengthen and hold up
the hands of the abolitionists. Nothing
else but such shameless SANDERS led old
John Brown TO his mad forny into Vir-
ginia. The charge has been uniformly
made at every recurring canvass, State
and National, and it has been as uniform
ly false and unfounded. 1t is now being
made through the same mediums and for
the identical purpose, against Johr Bell.
Mr.. Bell is the only candidate in the field
personally interested in slave property,
and there is not an editor, or any other
man, public or priyate, at all familiar
with his life, who fscientouslpbelieve
John Bell is not sound on that question,
or that if elected, he would use the office
or his influence, either directly or indi-
rectly, in any other way than to the pro-
motion of the peace and harmony of the
country and the equal rights of each and
every section. And we will not stultify
common sense and insult intelligent and
honest minds by filling our columns with
articles gravely defending the ticket We
support from n charge which has not the
shadow of foundation to rest upon
Taking his public record and public acts
as the index of his sentiments and views,
and as an earnest Of future action, the
rights and institutions ofthe South would
be safer in the hands of John Bell than in
the hands Of the most ultra Southern man
of the Cotton States.

Mr.. Breckinridre,s Withdrawal.

Some unmitigated scamp who vegetables
about the productive thoroughfares of
Washington City in the capacity Of letter
writer to democraticpaper, recently put
in circulation an absurd report that Mr..
Breckenridge, alarmed at the disunion
tendencies of the men who had been
most instrumental in procuring his nomi-
nation, had determined to withdraw from
the damaging position in which he had
been placed, at the earliest possible hour.
As 'scoa as the absurd report reached
Nashville, our smart and clever friend of
the Union and Americas with all the zeal
Of a nevioe and the trepidaton ola young
militiaman at his first muster, at once
telegaphed to the distinguished gentle
man to know whether there was any foun-
dation for the story, and if so, what the
thunder he meant. The following is Mr..
BIS reply:
"At homo in Old Kaintuck, p. m.
Dear Ed: Yours at hand. 1 am still candi-
date That report is the work Of some Internal
Douglasitc, You should not regard such silly
stories-your verdancy is sublime, your simph-
city unapproachablc. If anybody questions you
about my resigning, you are authorized to say
that "TH see 'em id frst'"
Yours, to the bitter end, j. c. b."
So that rumor is disposed of by the high
est authority. Mr.. Webster but q few
moments before his death, uttered, al
still live" Mr.. Breckenridge announces
in emphatic tones, 81 am still candi-
datew A letter from Nashville TO Jim
Henderson says when the despatch reach
ed that city the fact was heralded by fir
ing minute guns every half hour from
the foot of Broad-street" for the space of
three days and nights, the same length of
time that Jonah is represented in scrip
tural records to have been in the whales
belly. This last allusion is not to be un-
stood as meaning that Mr.. Breckenridge
is a whale, or our friend of the Union
and american Jonah whom i. may be ne
cessary to throw overheard to save the
sinking craft. Not at all. 1t only means
that somebody at Washington threw out
a line baited for gudgeons, and our Nash
vile friend snapped it up. He'll become
more wary perhaps as the canvass progress
SEES.
We hope the Douglasites will put no
more such reports ahoat. They are calcu-
lated to give additional discomfort to the
poor Breckinridgers, whose sufferings are
already intolerable, and to diminish the
Secession candidates chances of success
in Old Kaintuck.

TWELVE CENTS REwARD.-For any man,
whom any twelve .jurymen will pronounce
TO be sane of mind to state his belief pub
licly that Douglas or Breckenridge either,
has any chance for election, before the
people or in the House of Representatives
If there is any such individual in the
United States who will hazard his reputa-
ton for judgment or honesty on either of
these alternatives we will pay his expen-
ses in Chinese Sedan from any part of
the United States to our office. If this
is not sufficient inducement, if he will
address us by private letter, we will agree
to put him on the track to make an indie
pendent fortune between this and the No
vember election.-NaShciM Patriot.

rB- Some of the supporters of the Sc
cesson ticket round here complain be-
cause the charge of disunion is made
against that ticket. We presume that
every informed person will promptly adj
NIT there is a strong disunion element in
there is large body of men in those
States, leading and influential spirits, who
openly avow their intention to break up
the Union ip certain contingency. 1t
mainly instrumental in the nomination
of Messrs. Breckenridge and Lane, and
that they all, without single exception,
earnestly advocate and support them
These facts cannot, and will not be de-
MED. We do not charge Mr.. Breckin-
ridge or Gen. Lane with entertaining any
well-defned desires or settled notions of
dissolving the brotherhood of States, any
moro than we do the men in our own
neighborhood who thoughtlessly urge
their election. But we say this: that they
are the representatives of that element
that the movement which resulted in
their nomination was inaugurated and
carried out by that inhuence-that all the
advocates of disunion support them, and
that therefore it is not only perfectly le-
climate to style and treat them as the
Disunion Candidates, but that their cleo
ton would be regarded as triumph of
the disunionists. They are either the
representatives of the party, faction, or
influence that placed them before the
country, or they are nothing. Though
not exactly analogous, what makes Lin
coins election so much to be dreaded and
deprecated at the South? Simply be-
cause he was nominated by and is the
representative of sectionalism in the other
end of the Union.
Now, you men who complain should
stop and think little. To minds unac-
customed to such employment, it may be
rather irksome to think, particularly when
the dog-star RACES and the thermometer
indicates $50 in the shade. But the pres
ent is time when your country has
tight to expect something more from you
than blind obedience to party and sub
missive acquiescence in the dctation of
Others not bit better qualified, if so we'll
than yourselves to determine the true
course. We have the same interest in the
issue that you have, no more; and have
no motive to mislead, exaggerate, or mis-
represent. But we tell you, in all faith
and earnestness, you are being misled-
that you are travelling in the wrong di.
rection, away from the old charts and land
marks-that you are going after strange
gods, following an ignis .tatu,ts, deceitful
yapor engendered by rottenness and cor
ruption, and not the bright and steady
light which lit your fathers through the
darkness and peril of former times. Will
you pause, and think?-think like men
sensible of the responsibility resting upon
them, and like patriots, whose first duty
is always to their country, at once aban-
don the disunion standard and rally I'M
der the Flag of the Union.

Mr.. FLEURY, THE SURVIVOR OF THE ARC
TGc-SINGULAR AND RoMANTIc.-We under
stand on reliable authority that the sur
vivor of the Arctic disaster, of whom We
spoke on Tuesday, will be in the city this
evening. The person is Mr.. Fleury, who
was well known as having kept the gro
Gerry at the corner of Orleans and Robert
son streets, where his wife now resides.
She married Mr.. Fleury's first clerk Mr..
Weber, and has had three children by
him. Her two children by Mr.. Fleury,
daughter of seventeen and son of fif-
teen are now living with her. Last Satur-
day she received the first intimation of
the startling news of her husbands re-
turn, after an absence of five and half
years, in letter from him, dated at New
York. A friend, to whom she showed
the letter, reports the substance of it to
be that Fleury, with five other survivors
of the Arctic, were picked up from frag-
ments OF the wreck by whaler, which
kept on her long voyage. This ship was
subsequently sunk, and fifteen of those
aboard saved themselves on an island,
from which they We're taken by another
whaler, which was lust commencing her
cruise, and which only returned to New
York q week or two ago.-N. o. Bee.

GEN. 10. LANE.-The Louisville Courier
supports the Breckenridge ticket, with
Lane annexed. In 1919, that paper, then
as now published by w. N. Haldeman,
said of the present "Marion:"
"The Salem (Ind.) Democrat raises the
flag of Gen. Jos. Lane as its candidate
for the next Presidency. This is the
richest joke of the season. Gen. Lane is
doubtless brave man, but he is totally
destitute of nearly al the requisites that
would make him a successful commander.
1t was his lack of generalship, and igno-
rance of military matters, that caused the
disaster to the second Indiana regiment
at Buena Vista. The fact is notorious,
that if the men of that regiment had
been commanded by an able or skillful
General, they never would have been
placed in such position as to be COM
PEELED to retreat. There is not country
village in the Union but could produce a
man fully equal to Lane as General,
while thousands could be found vastly his
superiors."

H0" 1t is rumored that the Breckin-
ridge elector in the Second District has
gone clean daft, and his friends are talk
ing seriously Of taking him off the ticket.
We should not be surprised to learn at
any time that other gentlemen on that
ticket were similarly affected. At any
rate, they are acting very much like crazy
men when they 60 about the country de-
precating the election of one sectional
candidate as sufficient cause to dissolve
the Union, and at the same time advocat-
ing the success of another candidate,
equally sectional, as the only means of
saving it.

CHEF JUsTIcE TANEY.-Some alarmed
Breckinridger having suggested hauling
off Douglas and the nominee of the Sc
ceders, and placing Judge fancy before
the country, a New York paper remarks
The project-broached in some quar-
ters-of nominating Chief Justice fancy
for the Presidency, in the place of Brock
inridge and Douglas, can only be regard
ed as the dream Of some lunatic. The
Chief Justice is 81 years of age, and so
intirm that he can hardly walk without
assistance. The idea of his resuming his
seat on the Bench in December, is gener-
ally regarded as impossible. With him,
the sands Of life have nearly run out.

B9- The Cleveland Banner, of last week,
contains half column Of verbiage
about the speaking here on the 18th. 1t
says, "Mr. Ballew skinned Mr.. Baxter"
"Mr. Key skinned Mr.. Campbell" and so
on through the whole debate. The Ban
ner has been houndering so long in the
dark waters of mendacity, that an APP
Proclamation to the truth would take its
breath. Still we think it ought OCCASION
ally to venture upon such an effort, just
for the novelty if nothing else.

Emerson Etheridge.

The charge in the Breckenridge papers
that Hon. Emerson Etheridge made q
speech at Terre Haute, Indiana, in which
he counselled united opposition to de-
feat the democracy, and that if he lived
in that State he would vote for Lincoln,
has drawn from that gentleman a state
ment emphatically denying the senti-
ments and language imputed to him.
The great forte of the Secession prints in
this canvass seems to be perversion and
Misrepresentation.

Washington, Aug. 17.-According to
Texas news in the New Orleans papers of
Tuesday last, the excitement in relation
to the Abolition conspiracy in that State
appears to be on the increase. A young
man had been hung for giving strychnine
to the slaves to put into the wells. An
other, a preacher, had been hung for
being an active Abolitionist, while two
other persons were similarly treated for
melting the slaves to instruction. These
events had taken place in different parts
of the State. Frequent attempts at
poisoning and incendiarism were re-
ported. Although the town of Hender-
son had been nearly consumed by fire,
the people appeared unwilling to put
faith in the reported conspiracy.
