reA. We understand that, since the late elections
In the North, the South Carolnans are, mounting
cockades in their hats and assuming the military
strut This is Idle bravado or it means mischief,
we are alta loss to know which but would not be
surprised if in the event of Lincoln's election
serious attempt were made to secede The tone of
the Yancey press and speakers has been studousy
modulated to beguile the thoughtess, impulsive
and passionate intoth Chrarybdis of dsunion, and
every day is weakening that patriotic sentiment
which has long been the safeguard of the Union,
Unfortunately too, for tho conservatism Of the
country--cspecially Of the South--should the at
tempt be made, Buchanan during his short occu-
paney of the White House cannot be relied upon
in such au emergency because he has neither the
popularity nor the intellectual and moral weight to
give efficiency to any effort 10 avert the evil. And
should the difficulty be adjourned till the Inaugural
ton of Lincoln, purely sectional President and
hostile TO the institution Of slavery, any attempt Of
his TO enforce obedience to the federal compact will
be more likely TO invite general resistance than
general cooperation. Gen. jackson was elected 10y
the united vote of the North aud tho South and his
nationality, popularity, and weight Of character
brought to his support the conservatives, of boil
sections, when South Carolina attempted to secede
"a 1892. The case Is altered now, and though We
despise the men who would attempt secession in th'
absence OF an overt act cannot shut our eyes Il
the danger impending over the Union, not only
from the corruption aud fool-hardness Of the dis
union leaders hut from the weakness of the fedora
Government uoder The peculiar circumstances jus
mentioned. Tae people ought to look at the sub
jet in all its bearings that they may the better
the lhcy ought to adopt in this hour Of peril
Lincoln is traitor to the spirit of the Constitution
and therefore not the tiest person to rebuke treso
in otheH,-,rhe only way to defeat it is Ehrougl
the ballol-box.

elected, so far in one locality where pavements arc
greatly needed. We alude to End street, between
Commerce and Madison Neither side of the street
here is paved, but both sides ought to be. We no

on one side of End street. between Franklin and
Commerce, the other side is not paved at all. We

peA- The comments ofthe Northern papers make
the fact unqusstionable that the Brsckinrdge men
supported-and that without disguise-the Black
Republicans not only in Indiana, Ohio, and Penn
sylvania, but even in Maine, Their conduct in the
North is in perfect keeping with their designs in the
South with this slightest difference the southern
wing would elect Lincoln in order to dissolve the
Union, whilst the northern wing would elect Lincoln
to de:sat Douglas. With different motives, their
actions tend to the same result.

THE BREcKrNRDGE TICKET WIrHDRAws.-We are
in position this morning 10 crafty the curiosity
rather to confirm the expectation, raised by Mr..
OCoAors statement in his speech at the Cooper
Institute, Monday evening, that befre twenty-four
hours had elapsed, the only party that had not join
cd in the fusion would have recorded its willingness
10 ratify it, rumor was Immediately current
that MIR. Green and his coadjutors on the Brockn-
ridge State Committee had decided to withdraw
their ticket.
As viii be seen by the report which We publish
this morning Of the proceedings Of that committee
at the Astor House. yesterday aud last evening, the
rumor proves 10 be authentic. The gentlemen COM
posing the Breckindge electoral ticket have unani-
mousy resigned, and the State Committee have,
with equal nnsninity resolved TO give their support

OIL "A r KS WILLIE.
Friday, ootober 10, 1850.

Beh- Our neighbor under the head, "Who are
the contestants has spread himself this week, in
an effort to prove that the South is almost unani-
nous for Breckinridge, as far be learned from
the election returns. Ii it is any comfort to him
his readers to recne under this shadow of nothing
Ito imbibe hope from an empty boast, let them
enjoy themselves in this harmless way, for few
days longer. But merely 10 vindicate the truth of
history, we will correct some OF the errors into
which our neighbor has fallen. He says ain the
South Mr.. Brcckinridege has carried eight States,
over both Bell and Douglas Now we ask him
TO point to the States, aud give the proof-in which
such contest has come of. In North Carolina Bell
reduced the democratic majority one half, in con-
test against both wings Of the party. In Florida
here was no conabin ttion of Bell and Douglas
against Breckinrdge, and yet the democratic ma.
jority is largely reduced. In Mississippi, wherever
the question was rum in the county elections the
Union party was victorious. In Texas, there wal
no trial of Belle strength as against Breckenridge
in Arkansas, the Union party fought both wings o
democracy aud with cheering success in Georgi,
there has been no test, that we have heard Of anC
In New Jersey the contest was between Lincoln
and the combined opposition. These are seven O
the eight States in which our neighbor claims vic
tories for breckenridge, and of the validity Of tn
claim let the reader Judge The party is sorel
pressed that resorts to. such tricks to bolster up
hopeless cause.
But, most Shsurj of all, the Jeeersoaiaa claimi
the late municipal election, in Baltimore, as Breck
inridge victory. He has forgotten two importan
facts connected with the election In the FIST pac
1t was openly proclaimed that the object of tn
Reform ticket was to break down all partyism i
the city government and it was SO contrived as t
make II acceptable TO Gil parties. In the next plac,
the candidate for Mayor on this ticket, is an Out
nnd-out Bell and Everett man, and as such obtain
ed large Union vote, together with the entir
democratic vote--both wings-and the support
the foreigners. Had the candidate for Mayor bee
democrat, he would have been oyerwhclmingl
beaten--the wire-workers knew this, and hence tn
nomination of Bell man; and if his election
claimed rs Breckenridge victory, he is likely
win many such next month"; aud to be elIectuall
ruined by such successes. SO much for the empt
boasts Of our ncghbor-madc To give a crumb
comfort to his disconsolate party.

Or. THOMAS J. DoxoHo, In the 54th year Of his age.
At meeting Of ,he members OF the Medical Pro-
fcssion, hid this morning. Oct 9th at the office Of

Or. Doncho. Or. ]. II. Harris was called 10 the
Chair aad Dr. {. r. Cooper appointed Secretary.
On motion,
Drs. O. r. Cooper aud E. B. Taskins were ap-
pointed TO prepare preamble and resoiaiiens ex-
pressive Of the high regard and estimation in which
Dr. Douoho was held by the Profession, and their
deep regret at his death. The following were sub
nsitted
But few short months ago we were assembled
70 record our sorrow and express our sympathy at
the death Of one Of the younger members Of our
Professions. To-day we minge our sorrow in cup
deeper and bitcrcr far, that death has again been
permitted to invade our ranks and cut down our
beloved co-laborer in the maturity Of his profess
siona career
Dr. Donoto moved to GAINESVILLE from Mississippi
in the Gall winter Of 1885, and became associated
with the late DR.. Lewis w. King in the practice Of
medicine, since which time be has lived in this
Community, engaged in the srduous and laborious
duties of his profession. Early in his history here,
did he take that position in the ranks of medicine,
which he has so Bobly and honorably maintained
TO the hour Of his DEATH
Long and intimately known in the social and
professional walks Of life--hs heart the seat Of
kindness and DereVOlence-Sk1llful ana learned IN
his profession, to which he was most ardently at
tached-ever keeping pace with its literature and
advancement and scrupuiously alive TO the preser-
vation Of of its homer and dignity.
Endowed with a mind peculiarly adapted to the
analysis and Investigation of disease in its varied
forms--qualifed by long and ripe experience fol
usefulness to his fellow men-we cannot but regard
the death Of such man TO the Profession aud &c
the community, as calamity of no ordinary char
acter. Therefore;
Resoired That in the death of DR.. Donoho, we
recognize one of those iuscrutabe Providences, be-
fore which human wisdom bows in humble acknowl
edgcmcnt OF its weakness and insufficiency
ResolUed That we will cherish the memory o.
our friend aud brother for bis many social virtues
This intellectual requirements and the deservedly
high position he held in the ranks of the Profession
ResoIDed, That we, 10 common with the family
Of our deceased brother and the community, mourn
the loss we have sustained and although we have
no words TO offer that dry up the tear, or cas-
the aching heart of grief we may all be consoled
that we are yet permitted to study the life, an,
practice the virtues of the iamented dead.
Resolrod That a copy of these resolutions b
handed to the city papers for publication, and ais
to the family of the deceased

Bev- II is said that Senator Bright, of Indiana,
leading Breckinridge man, voted open ticket for
the Republicans, 10 the Late election. No wonder
Hendricks was defeated and Lane elected when such
Influences brought TO bear in favor of Lincoln
by leading democrats. Every day experience goes
to prove that the nomination Of breckenridge is a
curse to the country, and that If Lincoln is elected
and secession follow, he and his party will, alone,
be responsible for both results and all the evils that
may ensue.
