A SENSATION STORY SPOILED
The terrible disclosures of Mr. Lackey to the
Washington correspondent of the New York Times
respecting the Intervention of members of the Cabi
net to begin the work of secession on the MORNING
OF the 7th of November, turns out to be hoax. or
a premedltated falsehood No responsible person
ABOUT the Treasury Department knows Mr. Lackev
or communicated any such information as is given
on the authority of his name.
LINCoLN's POSITION.
The Washington Constitution, of yesterday morn
ing, says:
The report is current in this city and elsewhere
we have heard it from various sources-that Mr.
Lincoln has prepared circular letter to be printed
In case of his election by majority of the peOple of
tne Nortnern States, assuring the South of his con-
serVausm and respect for their rights of his inten-
tlon TO call to his councils Southern men, 1.-THE
names OF Wm. &. Rives, of Virginia, John J. Crit
tenden, OF Kentucky, Ex-Governor Morebead and
John Bell, have been mentioned ) and to exclude
theretorm the leaders of his party such as Seward
Sumner, Wilson, &c. If such is Mr.. Lincoln's in
tentlon, why does he not make it known now, and
not wait until after the 9th of November? If it is
his purpose to ignore Seward and his associates out
OF delerence to the South, now is the time to say
so. such statement after the election would have
no influence, and would be treated with the con-
tempt that treachery always brings. Fortune,
however magnificent, is never respected that is
obtained under false pretences.
EFFECT OF THE DEFREEs LETTER IN OHIO
Inc w ashington correspondent of the New York
Herald writes as follows:
The letter of John D. Defrees, written to abate
the excitement of the South has stirred up a tenn
pest IN OHIO, where the men who expect to be ap-
pointed Marshals under Lincoln are pledged to de-
ieat the fugitive slave law. This double dealing
may give Gerrt Smith the victory in the
Western Reserve. Sherman and Preston King are
denouncing the Republican double dealers for be-
ing too demonstrative. They know very well what
they are about, but Corwin and Defrees have spoil
ed all by their premature disclosures. The South
is not deceived for that section sees what are the
fruits of the doctrinal seed sown by Seward, Lin
coin and Co., while the attempt of Corwin and De-
trees to discountenance the sweeping abolitionism
OF the Republican party drives off many honest but
anti-savery men. These eaky fellows
let out the plot before the curtain was drawn up
POSITION GEN. CAss.
The following letter has been addressed to a
prominent gentleman in Baltimore. 1t leaves no
doubt of the position of the venerable Gen Cass
IN the present political contest:
WAsHINGToN, d. c. Oct. -, 1860.
Ny Dear Sr In reply to yours of the 18th
instant, have to inform you that, agreeablv to
your wish, | have seen Gen. Cass, who authorizes
ne to say, as he publicly declared before, that he
tesires the election of Breckenridge and Lane, and
would certainly give his vote for the Breckenridge
electors were he in Detroit, Mich, on the day of
election.
General Cass also added, that he supported the
platform on which Mr.. Breckenridge was nomina-
ed, because its principles respecting the govern
nen of the territories have been settled by the de-
,sion of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott |
Ease. am, very truly yours,
j. d. BRIGHT.
