Arkansas true Democrat., 1860-08-25
JOHN c. BRECKINRIDGE.'

To show how he was esteemed, even by his political opponents. we give the follow ing extract from the Louisville Journal, edited by the talented Prentice:
 "We believe him to be a conscientious and honorable as well as most able man. We have been half afraid, during the can vass, to express fully our opinion of him, lest our whig friends in his district, and elsewhere, might deem it untrue to tbe interest of our party. x Mir. Breck- inridge is a pure and noble-hearted man, and liberal l-minded politician; he has earned and won at home, and at Washing ton, as high reputation for talents as belongs to any man of his age in the United States. The Hon. Jno. c. Breck- inridge, in letter to his constituents, de- clines a reelection to Congress. He will be much missed in that body. His great urbanity. his perfect fairness, and his pow erful talents, made him one of the very fore most of its masterspirits. He has na- tional reputation, and nobly has he won it. ]"
 The Mobile Tribune sums up the array for Breckinridge and Lane in Alabama thus:
 "There are our two democratic senators, Clay and Fitzpatrick; our democratic rep resentatives, Stalworth, Clopton, Moore, Curty, Pugh and Cobb; our democratic governor, Moore, and every officer of our democratic State administration--al Of them against Douglas and for Breckinridge. Nearly every democratic member of the State legislature Is the same way, and almost every leading man of the party Tn every county, and last, but not least, nearly the entire popular mass of the de- mocracy of the State are opposed to Doug las and supporting Breckinridge.
 The Texas State Gazette announces the "dissolution of the Douglas party" The information is contained in the following paragraph.
 "The editor of the Quitman Herald says that the Douglas party in Wood county, numl ing TWO VOTES, had meeting awhile ago, and announced to all good democrats their intention to vote for Breckinridge and Lane."
 FLoRIDA.-There are eighteen newspa pers published in this State, FIFTEEN O. which support Breckinridge and Lane THREE support Bell and Everett, and MOI ONE supports Douglas and Johnson.- Jacksonville Standard.
 CLAY AND BRECKINRIDGE.-We will re- late an incident which occurred during the last days of that distinguished man, Henry Clay, which, while 1t illustrates his sagac- ity, the subsequent career of the youthful Breckinridge attests the truth of his pro- phetic remark.
 "A gentleman who was constantly with MT. Clay during his last illness, states that upon going into his room one day, he found Mr. Breckinridge sitting by the bed side of the dying statesman, reading aloud to him. After Mr. Breckinridge left the room, MT. Clay said: That young man is serving now his first term in Congress; perceive in him so much judgment and talent, so many of the elements of the states man, that 1 clearly forsee he will yearly grow in the confidence and esteem of his countrvmen, and eventually receive the highest honors it is in their power tc bestOw.'"
 The prediction, now partly accomplished will doubtless be completely fulfilled in November next, when the plople speak their sentiments at the ballot box.
