OLD PoINT COMFORT, Va,
Hsgetd Hotel, July is, 1850


Hygetd Hotel, July is, 1S6O
A large crowd continues at this favorite resort.
Among the visitors are Gov Letcher and family
several NJ. C 3, and not a few members Of the
Virginia Legislature,
In so large a number Of visitors congregated
from all quarters, there is of course, not little
political talk and speculation. Understanding
you with details, will only say that the greatest
diversity Of opinion seems 10 exist, and that as
between Breckinridge and Douglas, the feeling
seems nearly all in favor of the former. That is,
overwhelmingly 50; for the "Little Giant has,
certainly, few ardent friends here. The oppo-
sition are calculating strongly on carrying Viz
ginia for Bell and Everett through democratic
divisions, but, | think. without ground for hope.
The position of Gov. Letcher, about which there
has been a good deal of speculation, can furnish
you on the best authority. He is not for Douglas
or against him. and SO as to Breckenridge. That
Is TO say he is not thus far committed for against
either. He is engaged in strenuous effort to heal
the breach in the democratic party, and to give
the democratic vote such direction as will most
tend TO the defeat Of the black republican party.
This he proposes 70 accomplish by running a
single ticket In Virginia, with the understanding
that the electors the successful ticket shall be
at liberty to cast their votes in the electoral col
lege in that way that shall be most likely TO de-
feat Lincoln patriotic conception, surely; but
will the Douglas men CONSENT There's the
rub.n
The season at the Hygeis, so far, is a decided
success-never such a press before. Just what
might have been expected Of one 80 civil, so &C
commodating and so expert in the whole art OF
hoteling as the present manager-Mr. Willard.

The DOUGLAS NATIONAL ADDRKss.-Messrs
Taylor, Of Louisiana, Pugh, Of Ohio, and r ust,
OF Arkansas, on behalf of the Douglas National
Executive Committee, have issued to the Democ.
racy ofthe United States an address of explanation
and counsel They declare as the universal senti.
ment Of the supporters Of Messrs Douglas and
johnson, that no compromise whatever is admis-
siole. That they have made no proposition for a
joint electoral ticket in any State and exhort the
rejection of such propositions Indignantly when
ever and wherever made. III" they say, "we
have any friends in any State, let them call a
State Convention at once and nominate a full
electoral ticket, pledged to the exclusive SUD-
port Of Douglas and Johnson. We can agree to
nothing else, because to acknowledge the right OF
factious minority to dictate their own terms Of
corporation, suffer them to violate the solemn pro
feSsions Of the Democratic party and trample
under foot our Democratic usages, would be to
disband the national organzation''
