Aud such will doubtless be the general
response OF the friends of BEEczrxH1pGE
throughout the South. They feel and know
that their candidate IS overwhelmed in ad-

have known and urged since the opening of
tie canvass-thdt q Southern sectional can

reInotest chance Of Success. Hence upon the

BRECKENRIDGE come right down and give up

been true friends of The Union. Bat the
events of today are verifying tire charge
which we made distinctly, on The 18th and

were plodding their way towards the election
of LINCOLN, the disruption of the Union. and
the establishment of Southern Confedcracy.
The disuuionists will now. with protcstations
of sorrow and regret, interpret the recent
elections, simply as warnings to the South
to prepare for war. We already have the
cue from the New Orleans DeIta, which on
the lIth inst says:
