POLITICAL ITEMS.


THEY REFusED.-The Marion (A1a) American
states that the Breckenridge mass meeting at Selma
was requested by their own friends to pass reso-
luton authorizing the electors of their party, in
case they are chosen to cast the vote of the State
for whomeyer it would elect against Lincoln, and
THEY REFUSED TO DO IT!n
THEIR SINCERITY TEsTED-The people should
bear in mind that the Breckenridge and Lane party
refused, at Selma, to instruct their electors CON
cerning the purpose OF defeating Lincoln. The
Bell and Everett electors are instructed to vote for
Breckinridge or Douglas if necessary to defeat the
Black Republican. AS there are hundreds of hon
est and patriotic voters who desire to vote for the
strongest man against Lincoln, they will see there
lis no danger in voting the Bell ticket, while there
is danger in giving their votes to Breckinridge
Marion (Ala.) American.
Nor PARTY SrRuGGLE.-Many of our citizens,
Of all parties, to entertain the idea that this
contest is a struggle for mere party success. That
is not the true issue. We are not fighting Demo-
cratic party for there is no Democratic party
proper while in looking through the Union ranks
you see Old Line Democrats, New Line Democrats
Old Wings and Americans. In fact, all shades of
political opinion are entertained by the supporters
of Bell. This is struggle where partizan feelings
are generally laid upon the shelf, and great and
patriotic people are deciding the destiny Of this
Republic. The Politicians, thank Heaven, have
lost their power-the people are acting for them
Selves and will rescue the Government from the
udHu vi tue spoHbTH. llDiu'
WHAT THE LADIES THINK.-A Marion correspon.
dent of a Montgomery paper, speaking of the B.
and l.. transparencies on Saturday night last says:
One transparency, sent in by the ladies', was
this
eve had rather be the widows Of States Rights
men than the wives of submissionists."
"Old Joe Lanen couldn't marry in Marion
that's certainl" [Ibd. .......@
MONTGOMERY, Oct. 27.-Hon. Robert Toombs
spoke to an audience of 1000 persons last night
He urged resistance to death in the event of the
election Of Lincoln.
JUDGE STEPHENS OF GEORGIA -- Hon. Linton
Stephens, of Georgia, who left his place upon The
Supreme Bench in that State to advocate the
claims Of Mr.. Douglas for the Presidency, delivered
a most effective speech yesterday morning, at the
Gayoso to large crowd assembled in front of the
hotel. Judge Stephens is brother of the Hon. A.
II. Stephens, of Georgia. and his fmpromptu adj
dress Of yesterday would induce one to believe
that the Stephens family had monopolized the elo-
quence Of State memphis Appeal, 25tb.
| The Montgomery Confederation says:
In the South it must be conceded that Bell will
get larger electoral vote than any other candidate
| in the field.
ANOTHER OSE. Amos Kendall has written
anotherletter against disunion.
| New TrrLE.-A writer in the Plaquemines Rice
Planter calls Mr.. Slide " General" John Slidell.
NEW YoRK.-Extract of business letter received
| at this Office dated
| NEW YORK. Oct. %, 1860. Gone thing
is certain-the Democratic party of this State will
/ act as unit in the defeat Of the Black Republican
| candidate for the Presidency, however great may
| be their differences on other matters; and when
this great party acts all together there is nothing
more sure than victory. Theonly danger of defeat
rests in its own bosom, and so far as the Presiden
tial question is concerned, all Democrats in this
State are agreed to defeat Lincoln; SO consider

iy entered into the excitements of the presen
Presidential campaign, after secusion of nearl!
ten years. On the 10th inst he addressed yer.
large number of the citizens of Hagerstown ant
strongly advocated the election of Douglas, al
though he declared, in language which could no
have been misunderstood, that he knew John Bel
long and we'll, and that with unaffected sincerit
he pronounced him to be an able statesman and
devoted patriot, which elected thunders of ap
plause. He spoke upwards of three hours with al
the fire, ygor and eloquence of his younger days

the origin of disunionism in the Notification eS
element of 1923, of its overthrow by the immol
tai jackson, its subsequent resuseitation on tn
negro question, and its present aseendancy in tn
ranks Of the Breckinridge Democracy.
