Political IteHaS.

The report that Ex- Governor johnson,
of Pennsylvania, had declared for Bell
and Everett, is not true; he declares him.
self for Lincoln and Hamlin.
The Troy Times AYERS that during Mr.
Douglas sojourn in that city, "a consulta-
ton was held between him and several
others. in which it was determined that
the best way to help him was to organize
Bell and Everett clubs" 4
The Richmond Enquirer has undergone
change of proprietors. Messrs Ritchie
and Davenport retire, and Messrs. Tyler
and O. Jennings Wise, the son of the Gov
ernor, assume the control of this old
moutbpiece of the Virginia Democracy.
Political causes have not influenced the
change, and the paper will continue TO ex-
press the same political sentiments.
The Charleston Mercury has so far
tanned down in the prospect of a Republi-
can in November, that it expresses the
opinion that the mere election of Lincoln
will not be sufficient cause for disunion.-
1t is disposed to wait for some overt act.
1t will have to wait a long time, we think.
The vote at the late election in Ken
lucky was about 10000 less than a full
vote. Peters the Breckenridge candidate
for Judge of the Court of Appeals in the
Louisville District, is elected, contrary 10
first reports, by more than 1000 majority.
The plurality for Combs is from 10000 TO
$4,000 in the whole State.
Disunionism is thought unpopular even
in the Cotton States. If not, why should
Yancey propose to take the stump to de-
fend himself against the charges of being
disunionist?
A Breckenridge and Lane ratification
meeting, was called in San Francisco as a
Democratic ratification meeting, and the
Douglas men attended in such numbers as
to be able to vote down the ratifying reso-
lutions.
New JERSEY SURE FOR LINcoLN.-The
Newark Mercury says; "Our informa-
zion from all quarters is Of the most favor
able character. The probabilities are that
Mr.. Lincoln will carry plurality in every
county of the State, with the single ex-
ception of Camden. All the danger lies
in our overweening confidence, and yet it
seems difficult to properly guard ourselves
when the victory can scarcely be wrested
from u.s."
The N. Y. Herald, paper that oflate has
been decrying the Breckenridge strength
as going for Bell, says: "We have several
letters before us from Southern gentlemen,
saying that we are somewhat mistaken
concernsng the public sentiment of the
South-that Mr.. Breckenridge will carry
all before him, and that this supposed re-
action of Southern public sentiment against
the Southern Democ racy is delusion."
We advocate no sectional" or ''disun-
ion" cause. If men who had been tinct-
ured with sectional or disunion sentiment
unite with us, we welcome their support
for we believe in the truth and justice Of
our principles, ard therefore desire and ex-
pect them to make converts.-Mopele
Tribune, breckenridge paper.)
The Republicans of the Westmorland
Congressional District have re-neminated
the Hon. John Coyode for Congress, not
withstanding he had previously stated that
he would not be candidate. The Repub-
licans of the whole country trust that he
will reconsider the resolution. q
