NO one understood better than his friend D0ur-

electoral votes and if he received them they would
be torn from the Democracy by the treason of
Stephen A. Douglas, who could himself get not one

breckenridge and Lincoln.

burst comparing the struggle of the friends of the
Constitution, environed all sides by foes exposed

drew vivid picture, and closed amid prolonged

Governor Lowe next followed in an eloquent
speech, in which he pledged Maryland to stand by
her sister States of the South, and to share their

At G14 p. NJ. the meeting adjourned; the Balti-

march, well pleased with the events of the day
Everything passed off pleasantly and quietly on the

numbers, the Breckenridge are entitled to more
than seven Electors if the Bell men are entitled to

ceded to the Bell men before it was known that the

being fixed, the only remaining question: is whether

The Herald says
The success of this New York Union movement.
| for the sake of the Union is most encouraging
political event. The pressure of public opinion has
been too strong for the managing old party hack
! politicians concerned, and their petty personal
feuds and actiOus disputes. They have been su-
| perseded by the paramount question of the defeat
OF Lincoln, so loudly demanded By the solid Union
masses of our people. The result is a common
| Union Electoral ticket in New York. upon which
all the conservative forces of the Empire State old
! line Democrats, Wings, Americans and Republi-
! cans, Clay men, Fillmore men, Douglas men,
! Breckinridge men, Bell and Fremont men,
may be rallied into popular majority of fifty
! thousand.
The Tribune (Republican) says:
The breckenridge men, rating themselves a little
above the dry goods estimate, have peremptorily
rejected the II. 5. d 7. ticket and have resolved to
run upon their own hook. 1t is not probable that
Messrs. Henry S. Randall, John II. Brewer, Jacob
A. Westervelt, or Stephen p. Russell will accept
the nominations rendered to them by the Dry Goods
! Committee; and if any of them should do so, it will
| be considered as a decinatiOn Of the regular Ma
! tiOnal Democratic nomination, and Mr.. Green will
| Immediately convoke his Committee and supply
| their places. Preparations have been made for the
canvass of the State. Mr.. Yancey, of Alabama, and
Mr.. Brady will proceed in company in a few days,
and visit the prominent cities and villages, to ad-
! dress the National Democracy.

MOVEMENTS OF HON. JAMES T. BRADY.
| ALBANY, Sept. 25.-Upwards of 1000 people, with
| splendid band, greeted James 7. Brady at Con-
| gress Hall tonight.
His speech said to be one of his best lie de-
nounced Douglas and the squatter sovereignty doc
trine, and the recent fusion cheat, and called upOu
| every national Democrat to support alone the reg
ular ticket. He said this contest would dispose Of
Douglas, and that he would never be heard of out
| side of Illinois for any public station thereafter
| He also spoke in severe tones of Richmond & Co.
and charged upon them the present divided state of
| the Democracy.
He said the Breckenridge and Lane party alone
represented true Democratic principles, and that
they would ultimetely prevail when DOuglasism
| Know Nothngism and fusionism were laid in the
! dust He said the Breekinrdge and Lane colors
were nailed to the mast, and would never again be
! stripped or furled while the Union lasted.
S. G.. Courtney followed Mr.. Brady in an el0-
quent Speech in which he, too, denounced Douglas,
| Lincoln and the Cooper Institute fusion, and called
upon every true Democrat to support alone the
regular Breckenridge and Lane ticket.
Both speeches were received with great applause,
and showed that the national feeling at Albany is
sound.
