WAsHISGToN, October 5.
Understand that all Of the friends Of Mr.
Douglas will BE- moved By a gentleman en-
ploysd in one Of the departments, who was re-
moved on Thursday because be was a Douglas
man, and others are sure TO follow. Il is time
that this little business should be stopped.
The siaunch friends Of Breckinridgs condemn
this viDdictive course Of the President, and at
tribute Il wholly 20 the personal feeling against
Mr.. Douglas, but which they believ- will
add strength TO the national Democratic can
didste.
The Breck men are very much pleased with
tfe speech Of Henry Winter Davis, recently
delivered at Baltimore, in his declaration In
favor Of Lincoln they hope they will draw
of { n thousand votes from Bell and Everett
m Maryland, thus giving the state for Mr..
Breckenridge. Il is believed here that the ad-
vice Of Mr.. Crittenden to the friends Of Bell
and Everett, in Indiana, to vote FOR Mr.. Doug
las, will have tie effect Of rendering that State
certain for the Little Giant. have seen let
tiers from Georgia which give cheering news
from that Empire State Of The South. A. Il.
Stephens, who has fully recovered bis health,
is doing a yeoman's work in the cause Of
Douglas and Johnson. The secessionisis nav
boast as iheV please, as they cannot carry
that STATE. OF late they are becoming
alarmed, and are filed with terpidation. The
people are opening their eyes to that which
the ~factious party ara pressing upon them.
Mr.. Tooubs and several other leaders Of the
Breckinridge party sre openly preaching I'd
disunion in cas- Lincoln shall be elected, and
the people see that he and those acting with
him are doing he only thing that can secure
bis election. The people Of Georgia are no.
going to be forced into disunion when no cause
for It exists, neither are they going to be ca
iolcd, humbugged OF frightened into a position (
that will entail consequences making disuniop
necessary or desirable, when no earthly neces-
sity exists FOR placing themselves in that POSI-
ton, and no possible good can come Of it.
So You nav set Georgia down FOR Douglas. |
Many Of lie most intelligent citizens whom I
have conversed with are now confident Of car
rying It BY a handsome majority.
II ls reported in several quarters that Serre-
taTF Cobb Is going to Georgia next week, 10
head of Mr.. Stephens; but be will find il up
Hill work.
It viii be recollected thai while Judge Doug
las was delivering ais speech in Norfolk, Va,
certain questions IN regard % what should be
done IN case Lincoln were elected, YES put to
bin by MAJOR William Lamb, the Breckinridgs
electoT for Norfolk district.
Mr.. Douglas said be would answer them II
Mr.. Lamb would pu' the same questions 10 Mr..
Breckinridge. This be promised to do, and
The questions were answered In a speech de-
livered BY Lamb IN Norfolk the other evening.
NJ hhu tldL ne NdQ llilllcl ue prom Sc, and
propoundet the qurs ions to Mr.. Breckenridge
be bad put to Judge Douglas, but Mr..
bad declined answering them.
I hear to-day that in two Of the three coun-
Of Delaware yesterday there was fusion
On the Breckinridge inspector. It Is stated
mat there was fusion in one OF them against
he Breekinridge ticket. There are four par
les in Delaware.
Governor Lstcher writes that, unless some
llan OF fusion Is agreed upon tomorrow az
Richmond By the Breckenridge and Douglas
state committees, tse Safe Of Virginia wiilgo
or Bell
Gen. Harvey, who is at present in town, is
ausing considerable annoyance to the Pres
dent and Cabinet. He was removed from bis
ommand in vi shington territory at the request
Z the British minister, Mr. Buchanan not
aving nerve enough 10 defend the American
on he island Of San Juan. The gen
complains bitterly a. the treatment be has
ard shows, also, that Gen. Scott has
OF been acting fairly toward him.
The prospects Of the DeGrout claimants be-
ome more hopeless from day to day. Il
'ouid not be az all surprising If their claim
Z $4,000 would dWindie down 10 nothing. L
