southern Democrats on Everett.

Hon. John j. Pettus, the present Democratic fire.
eating" Governor of Mississippi in his inaugural address
January l. 1862 thus bore testimony to Mr. EVeretts
devotion to the Constitution. He said, speaking OF the
dire eaames likely to result from the success of the
Black Republicans
Can we rely on the counses Of the css, patriotic
men of the North this greatest OF all calamities
Their websters, EvERETTS and Fllmores have in vain
in past years persuaded them to respect our rights and the
requirements of the Constitution"
Here it is admitted that Mr.. Everett, in the trying
times Of sectional agitation, has been with the South
and done his duty.
Again, John c. Breckenridge, in his famous speech at
Frankfort, Ky., testified as follows:
sThere is another element at the North, not large, but
SoRE AND TRUE 1t consists of the scattered cohorts OF
the old Wing party Of men like EVERETT, Choate, and
their associates whose coRSsrUdSr culture and patriot
ism REBELLED AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN ALLIANCE
Such was the manner in which distinguished Southern
Democratic leaders spoke of Mr. Everett when he was
no candidate and they felt at liberty to speak out their
true sentiments about him.
Can Democrats with such testimony before them be-
leye that he cannot be trusted in the VicePresidency

Similar associations are being formed throughout the

A Concer,ed Gnme % Rrarl

We have good ground for believing that the Breckin-
ridcers whom the Fair may draw together in this city
during the present week. have deliberately agreed to in
duge in concerted game Of Drag to the prospects Of
moor Breckenridge in Virginia. Notwithstanding the r'-
cent elections all over the country, Virginia included,
demonstrate the fact that there vitality n the Breek
uge party and that Breckenridge stands not even the
ghost Of chance Of an election, these enterprising
Breckinrdge leaders in Virginia. well knowing that the
privilege OF iupuent and reckless bOastug is all that is
Jeff them, viii certainly brag immensely high during the
pr,sen, Fair week, With a view making impression
on the large number Of voters that may be in attendance
from the country. That is the game they have agreed
upon among themselves. That is the game they mean
to play all during the week.
But if the bulk Of the honest and patriotic voters OF
e State only knew these reckless Breckenridge leaders
In Virginia as well as We do-h they only knew what
reckless political gamblers the whole OF them are-if they
oly had even tocrsbe idea OF their cool audsey and
brllen impudeuee-no braggldOciO talk on the part OF
said leaders would weigh feather with any man OF COM
mon sense in the Commonwealth
Take notice, therefore, that the concerted cry, that
will escape the lips Of the Breckenridge leaders during
the present week, and from until the DAY of cleo
ton. I, an CANNON and humbug-a pitifu and disgust

IN the State voted for Hendricks for Governor and every

against him, and all the postmasters marshals, mail
agents and other federal officers had follow suit. In
this way the Democratic party defeated. To make
sure work Of it, when Breckenridge Convention was
held before the election they declined to make nomna
ions for State Offices leaving al their partislns and all
who they could influence to vote directly for the In
coin candidates The State was flooded with anthem

Look at the FiGurss-nake the Calculation.


In the SIX counties Of Chesterfield Powhatan, Cum
bsrland Fuvanna, Amelia and NottoWay, represented in
tue House OF Dslegaes by o0ly four members there
a loss for Breckenridge, as compared with Buchanans
vote Of 92S certainly aud If We include the Bell given
20 the Democratic candidates. and which will be cast for
Bel in November there was less in those six counties
Of at least 800 But put the loss in those counties
represented by oHly four members in the House Of Dele
gates-at OOO in round numbers. Now, suppose there
Is similar Breckenridge loss all the State on the
9Th o. NOyeuber-.ha. is suppose that for every four
members Of the House Of Delegates, there will be a
Breckenridge loss on Buchanan's vOe of 1000, was
the case hc other day in the six counties have
tioned-what would be the whole Breckenridge loss
throughout the Sac?
The House of Delegates is composed Of $50 members,
and Breckinridge loss of 900 for every four members
would put the aggregate loss in the State 81 800
Now as Buchanan carried the State by 10000 the Breek
inrdge loss Of 900 for every four members of the
House Of Delegates would give the State to Bell by
ior,y Of 7,2OOl
Thus no matter how the figures Of the recent elections
may be viewed they show an enormous loss for Breckn-
ridge, and demonstrate that Virginia is safe for Bell and
Everett by rOusng majority All ask Of our friends
TO ensure absolutely certain and triumphant result in
our favor is to be sure to get our whole the polls,
and work for the weeks with the zeal aud energy
tat becomes them Let every man in ranks DO his
daty, and his olole duty, and glorious and thrilling
victory will be ours

No Chance for BreciInridgc.

The Baltimore Exchange is one of the abest Breckn-
ridge journals in the country, but in recent number,
il admits that he caunot carry single Northern State,
and e1hors its friends to vote the fusion ticket all
the North in order to defeat Lincoln This very good
advice and we hope will be followed by those Breck-
nrdgers who in the recent contests in Pennsylvania
and Indiana, lent their aidVo the Black Republicans in
order to punish The Dougasites The truth is the only
hope of beating Lincoln is for all the lovers of the
Union to rally to the support of John Bell,
who alone has the pOwertO que domestic discOrd and
give peace to our distracted country.

Under this caption the Enquirer Ofsaturday crows us
ty over the fact that Breeknrdge candidate has been
elected to the Legislature from the county OF Fuvanna
by Ga majority. Now, not since the adoption OF the
present Constitution has Fuvanna given an sntiDemo-
cratic majority, except in the Gubernatoral election Of
last year. Il gave Buchanan majority of Al. IL now
gives Breckinrdge candidate for the Legislature ma
iorty Of Ga and all on account no doubt of personal
and local considerations.
Well let US see how the result of the late elections
stands as far as heard from compared with the result in
the Presidential election of 1885, In the counties Of
Chesterfield, Powhatan aud Cumberland, the Breckin-
ridge loss is 7I9; in the counties of Amelia and Motto
way the Breckenridge loss is 227; aud in the county
Of Fluyanna, the Breckenridge gain is 93. The matter
