CoorER's WELL, MISS, Sept. 2s, 1860.
Ny Dear Rcgiaer:--A large Drcckinridgc and
Lane meeting came of last night at Raymond,
The camp-fires Of the Brcckinridgcrs arc burn
ing brightly all over the land, and the friends
| Of equal rights are working like bcavcrs for the
preservation Of Constitutional Union. Can
dor compels me to say that Douglas is u mere
tool dn this State) in the hands Of the friends
of Bell and Everett, He willnet get an electoral
vote north Or soutl hnd his Combination move
ments Will prove fatal to the interests Of Col
Bell, who will not he able to carry his own
State. The coalition of Bell with the little
Squatter is an unprincipled move ut best, and
must Of necessity fall when thoroughly under
stood. All is now lost to both Bell and Dou-
glas, md the fight is narrowed down between
Breckenridge and Lincoln. The South, then, has
but one alternative lcft-and that is to c0ncon-
stitutional candidates. In the election Of
Breckinrdgc and Lane, we have all TO gain
and nothing to lose. This ticket is In fact,
the only hope Of the nation, and 1t will he
| elected beyond the shadow of N doubt. Mssis
| sippi is good for an overwhelming majority
the vicksburg Wig to the contrary notwith-
standing
lam glad to inform you that the most en-
couraging tidings are being received here from
Kentucky and Missouri. The home of our bril-.
liant Breckenridge will give him majority
that will carry terror and dismay to the hearts
Of the Opposition. Governor Jacksons recent
speech at u Drcckinridgo and Lane meeting In
Missouri is n crusher upon poor Mr. Douglas
and his dcluded fiicnds. The latest news from
the old Key Stone State is also cheering 10
the friends and supporters Of the Breckenridge
ticket. To sum up the whole matter, We arc
daily gaining ground all over the UNION, and
our friends have every incentive TO work like
faithful soldiers up TO the last moment of th,
fight, sec by this evenings Picayune that
change has taken place in your FEDERAL Or
FIcERs. The appointments can but give salts
faction TO the genuine democracy. For one,
endorse them with hearty good will, and wsl
them oil the success their merits deserve.
My attention has been called to letter from
Ouachita published in the True Della sigrc,
"NEMo," in which, statements are made with
out regard to facts would advise "Nemo" Il
open blacksmith shop, and constitute himscl
chief blower. Hisallusions to CRED EYE" wer
altogether classical, and have no doubt
> practically correct. II the Ouachitn correspon
dent of the Delta is as clumsy in politics az b
is with the pen, the cause Of poor Douglas will
suffer immensely in his hands "Oh! that miu
n enemy had written book" is a saying whic
Memo ought to consider, ere he writes ar
other cpistlc to the Pillgarlick establishment o
st. Charles street.
, What of master Peter? Did he visit Monroe
n OF not? To he not to be, that's the question
;. He disappointed his Vicksburg and Richmon
/. (La,) friends, and fear you all suift red a lk
!, dreadful fate. For one, l wac particular
doing, am satisfied many would have left Il
;s sinking C'coMBrNArIoN') ship and taken reiul
on board that noble old craft, which HI
wcathcred thousand storms, and never y
:, failed to come of first best refer TO th
good old democratic ship which has for /! cha,
