The Louisville Journal SAYS that the
other day Mr.. Breckenridge was speak
ing to man in Lexington about the re-
suit of the election in Kentucky, when
he exclaimed:
What Kentucky go against mel
My own State go against mel If she
should do so, there would be thousad
broken men and thousand broken hearts
as true as beat upon the face Of the
earth! :"
The New York World, in presenting
detailed estimate of the Presidential
election, gives Lincoln los electoral
votes, or Is more than is necessary TO a
choice. 1t thinks that Breckenridge
will have 48 and Bell AZ votes. Among
the doubtful States ii reckons Texas as
between Houston or Breckenridge; Geor-
gia and Louisiana between Bell or Breck-
inrIdge; Oregon between Breckenridge
or Lincoln: Illinois between Lincoln and
Douglas; and Missouri as probably for
Douglas.
Occasional, (Douglas) writes to the
Philadelphia Press:

hold good if they accepted the fusion
electoral ticket but as they are in earn

safety is in standing by him to the last,
the Lane interest cannot count upon any
aid from that quarter
