ta~ The Dougasites are pouring out the walls of
their wrath upon the devoted head of Senator Cngman
of North Carolina. We find the following delectable
sentences in the States and Union of Washington City,
paper published by James S. Holland, for the Pro-
prietors the of these latter not being given but
generally supposed to include Miles Taylor of Louisiana
Chairman of the Douglas Committee. Senator Cling
man says the States and Union, " has made himself
more odious than any of the Yaucey bolters by his
reachery to Judge Douglas whose bosom friend he
pired to be. Language fails when the attempt is made
to describe such baseness he has been guilty off,
Thus it is that Miles Taylor Co., presume to charac-
terize the conduct of Southern Senator who recog-
1ses his first duty to his State and resents the nsoent
threats of coercion hurled against Sovereign States by
Mr.. Douglas. All, Messrs Miles Taylor & Co., all this
sort of thing wont do. acont CO. Messrs. Taylor g.

ole VIII not be Disappointed"

Under the above caption the Newbern Progress says
In Mr.. Brecknridges Ashland speech occurs the fol-
lowing sentence which is proof conclusive that he has
no hope OF being elected President: :"
But am content with the honors which have been
heaped upon me by my State and look oooard ao plea
the prospects hdve OF ser0ng my country IN ue
Senate Of the United States for the nert sac gears"
No such sentence occurs in Mr.. Breckinridge's Ash
land Speech could any such inference be drawn from
even the first brief and imperfect Geographic sketch OF
it. What he di3 say give below, quoting from an
authorized version as we find it in the National Intei
gencer of Tuesday, September 18th. We give the
whole paragraph
And when that Convention assembled at Baltimore my
feelings and my conduct still unchanged. After the

sented American people, but content and more
than content with the honors which have been heaped

the United States for the next six Cries OF

circumstances, without abandoning vital principles and be-
traying my friends. Applause
Nay, even taking the brief and unsatisfactory tele-
graphic report, we find it to follows:
When the Convention assembled at Baltimore, my teengs
my conduct still unchanged After the disruption
which took place there, my name, without any solicitation
my part, presented candidate Previously, not
deemng such thing possible, said did not desire to be
presented to the American people, but content with

prospects have Of serving my county in the Senate of the
United States for the next six years. My Dame however
presented, and felt that could refuse to accep
the nomination under the circumstances without abandon
| ing vital principles and betraying my friends.
He said this as declining the use of his name for
nomination, and before his nomination. We need not
add anything further to characterize the style of cleo
pioneering that the article of the Progress would indi
cate being adopted against Major Breckenridge, bu
take it for granted that the Progress itself will make tn
proper amende.
