An intelligent gentleman residing at Selma
Alabama, one who thoroughly understand
public sentiment in that State, writes as fol
lows, under date Of the 18th inst douglas
is gaining in Alabama, and you may put
down Alabama for Douglas and Johnson"
The North Alabama Times says "we
publish 10 another place Mr.. Douglas letter OF
acceptance. We ask all our friends to read il,
aud sec what a noble position our gallant can.
didatc occupies Il is an able, manly letter,
worthy of the genius of the great statesman OF
the Northwest, and Just such ms might be ex-
pected from the mind Of the noble Little
Giant
The Lexington (Va,) Star says Monday
last being court day a goodly number Of the
sovereigns ofthe county we're In town, and, so
lar as we could gather public sentiment, we
are satisfied that a large majority Of the PEG
pie OF this county are ia favor Of Douglas and

The Providence Or ~ Post, the leading pa
per IN that State, in speaking ofDouglas pros
poets says for our own little State, we
should risk nothing in pledging her vote for
him She is good for one or Two thousand ma
%joriiy."
The friends Of Douglas and johnson. in

John L. Hopkins, Esq, lately addressed a
large Democratic meeting at Chattanooga,
Tennessee, in favor Of Judge Douglas. He
denounced the seceders in strong terms. The
Chattanooga Gazette says he was well re.
.ceived by the meeting. The Somerville
lenn) Democrat runs up the Douglas flag.
II says; The Douglas men in this city are
resolved to give him a cordial support The
ides of November will show that old Fayette
is still true to the National Democracy"
The C~arOnicie, the Bell and Everett organ
at Augusta, Ga, states that 80 far as we
know or believe, there is no symptom any
where in the United States Of @ backing on
the part of the Douglas men, nor do they
evinee in the North much disposition to Goa
lessee and combine with the seceders whom
fhaN ,lanpun,n nnsv,.,.lu -. l.gsa
In the South there never was q more plucky
set than the Douglas men, who, according to
our information, are gaining ground"
The Augusta Sentinel, an independent pa
per, states that the enthusiasm and the num-
bers in Georgia are unquestionably for Doug
las. Thu Sentinel says; "The fact is that the
name Of Gov. johnson is "a tower Of strength"
in Georgia, and Democrats see very plainly
that, as between Douglas and Breckenridge,
there is no choice-the latter is as deep in the
mire as the other, and fully as much commit
ted to Squatter Sovereignty. If they must
take a Democrat they prefer Douglas to
breckenridge, and especially johnson to old
Mr.. lane"
The Macon, Georgia, Messenger, a Bell or
gan admits the increasing strength of Doug
and says: Our great fear now is, that
the weakness Of the SECESSION movement will
become so apparent in a few weeks, that
Breckenridge and Lane will be abandoned in
most Of the States, North and South. This
should not particularly deprecate, il the
friends of those gentlemen would be consis-
tent and fall into the support of our ticket
but we greatly fear they would return back to
s lnatterdom."
We copy the following from the Aberdeen
(Miss) Conservative,
As unauimity and harmony of action ale
the essential steps towards success, and as we
desire to see the true and National Democra-
cy, the old body guard of the Constitution,
in the approaching struggle, we must
respond to a call that has been made
in the columns Of the Corinth True Democrat,
the party meet in Convention at Holly
on the 30th inst, where each district
can be represented and make nominations for
the State at large aud the districts at the
time. Let, then, the National Democ-
racy of Mississippi meet in Convention at
Holly Springs, on the 30th inst, and let an
ticket be chosen that will roll up the
majority Of the State for the true,
and Constitutional t~icket-Stephen
A. Douglas and Herschel V. johnson.
