From The Savannah News.

In our own State, from the seabOard to the noun
tains, the people are moving with unprecedented
unanimity, leaving us room to doubt that our
Presidential ticket will be trumphantly sustained
by the popular vote. All the efforts of the Squat
terites aided and encouraged by the Bell and Ever
EFT leaders and presses, are scarcely sufficient to
keep up show of opposition, while the patriotic
Americans are abandoning party for principles and
joining in the support of Breckenridge and Lane.
We feel no hesitation IN assuring friends
abroad that Georgia is safe for Breckenridge and
Lane and sound constitutional principles by an
overwhelming majority
OUT FOR BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE.-Hon. 4. c. MCIN-
TOsH. prominent and leading member of the Oppo-
sitiOn party in Middle Georgia, is out in favor of
BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. He says, in letter to the
Griffin Democrat:
" Let the principles of the American party be ever
so wholesome las believe most of them are,) we
are too small in number to effect much good aone)
in the present Presidential election and yet strong
enough to do great deal of harm, should we diSG-
gree with the true Democracy of the South, If the
people of the Southern Statesfree almost as the air
they breathe-shall omit to present full 'front.' in
the coming election and to maintain their privileges,
their institutions. and their Government then in
deed will it be idle longer 20 speak of the rights of
the South, of the capacity to govern themselves.
The dream of liberty, fear, must fade away and
perish forever, no more to be remembered
thought of.
Under these considerations | must drink glass
of pure, fresh water to the health of the Union,

Hon. Il. NJ CURRY-DEAE Sin: Your favor Of
the Sth instant has just been received. You say
that there is good deal of speculation as to my
preferences for the candidates before the coun
try for the Presidency and Vice Presidency" and
that you would be glad, if not inconsistent with
my feelings that Iwonld indicate them"
The Office of Vice President is high position,
nomination for which, if rendered me by united
Democracy, upon proper platform, l am frank 10
say, would not have declined.

las for the set forth in my letter OF decen
sion and for others, which said In that letter,
would not then impose differ entirely with him
the territorial question set forth IN my letter
to Mr.. Hudgins last fall, and as indicated by my
vote on the Senate resolutions coEnonly called the
"Davis resolutions" which passed the Senate at the
last session of Congress.
Differing as widely as we do upon the question OF
popular or Squatter-s and the protec-
ton of slave property in the Territories, l could
not have accepted the nomination with Mr. Doug
las on the platform presented, without subjecting
myself to the imputation of having abandoned well
matured opinions for the hope of obtaining power
and place.
would have supposed that these opinions pub
licy expressed, and my declension for the nomina-
ton of the VicePresidency, would have been suf-
icient guaranty that in selecting from the candi-
dates would at least vote for those whose political
sentiments conform most nearly to my own. Ihave
always been Democrat and adhered with fidelity,
to the principles and usages of the party The dis
visions and descriptions of the Convention at Baltl
more should be, and feel assured are, deplored
and regretted by all Democrats, and by none, am
sure, more than myself.
According in sentiment with the platform upon
which Breckenridge and Lane have been nomi-
mated, shall matter of course yield them my
support. Very respectfully,
Your Obedient servant,

Know Nothingism in Wilson

throat, and blowed, (the weather being very warm,
and he unwell) until finally he got the wheels led"
and the machine in notion then pitched YANCEY into
it and ground him to dust directly then came the
Democratic party, pitched in both DOUGLAS and
BRECKINRIDGE and they did not afford feed for the
mll-in short it annihilated the Democratic party
and after he had made easy job of 1t, our BELL
eector, arose and proposed to close out the great
Democratic party for 81 So by saying with peculiar
brush of the nose with his finger. that it was very
small party and worth about 81 80, but could not
get bid for the fragments which were left after
being run through the machine. Thus has passed
away the work of sages and patriots for years, and
the once proud genius of Democracy has been left
to perish before the hand of these orators and if it
were not for the hope and very clear impression that
it will revive and come out again through the in
strumentaity of the ballot box, as has heretofore
done the faithful adherents might despOnd and J'e

Good news from weakIey.
DRESDEN, Weakley County, Tenn.
IOfn

July 18th, 1860.
EDITORS UNION AND AMERICAN: Never since the
time that the States Rights Democracy were led on
to victory by the immortal Polk has such enthusi-
asm pervaded its ranks in this portion of the State,
as at present. The tried and honored names of the
gallant young Kentuekian and the brave old soldier
of Oregon inspire each and every true Democrat,
who prefers the triumph of principle to that of
men, with that zeal and energy which will lead
on ultimately to glorious victory. There was a
respectable number in this county previous to the
convention, who honestly preferred the nomination
of Judge DOUGLAS, upon the ground that he would
be the most likely, under the circumstances, to de
feat the Black Republicans; but since the National
Democracy, (by far the largest portion of the par
ty) have nominated the gallant ticket of BREcKIN-
RIDGE and LANE, they have nearly all Joined their
standard, and will do noble service for the cause.
There is not prominent Democrat in the county
who yet holds on to the DOUGLAS cause. You may
rest assured that all is right in old Weakley. She
has heretofore been the banner county with one
or two exceptions, and if am to judge from all in
dicatons now, she will roll up her usual majority
for the nominees of the National Democracy. NarRc
this
Already the Democrats are holding ratification
meetings which are largely attended, and at which
the most unbounded enthusiasm prevails. There
was one held few days since at lakewood in this
county, and more recently another 'rouser" at
Como, just in the edge OF Henry. We intend hav-
ing Jolly good time" here on the 18th ins:. 1t
will be perfect Camp Meeting, conducted by such
men as Hons JNo. A GARDNER, CLINT ATKINS and W.
E. TRAVIS. The former of these has been in retire
ment for number of years, but the present state
of affairs calls him forth like CyCISNATuS of DID, and
he intends lending the force of his intellect to the
success of so glorious cause There are few
equals to JNo. A GARDNER as a fOrcible debator in
the State The gallant "CLTNT" is also in the field
with Col. TRAVIS by his side.
Think the BELL men are nearly all gone over to
DOUGLAS in this section and that their chief EMER
son ETHERIDGE, will soon follow sult-as he makes
much fun over the BELL platform. Let them 60
we had just as soon fight them one way as smother.
Returning the thanks of the Democracy to you
for your gallant services am

Would it not have been simple justice and nothing
more, for the Banner to have given the reasons for
the declension, and leave its readers to infer
possibly 1t was because Mr.. TURNER objected to

Let the result of the present contest be what it
may, the party which now supports Breckenridge is
henceforth the National Democracy, and It's plat
form the creed of that Democracy. In the Presi-
dental contest of 1864, the Republicans must meet
a single antagonist ticket and that running sub
stantially if not literally the Breckenridge plat
form of to-day. That platform represents prlncl-
ple-that of the right of each STAKEHOLDER to plant
slavery in any Federal Territory, and demand pro-
lection therein-which we can never accept but it
has the merit at least of freedom from ambiguity.
