Candid Admissions.


Some of the Breekinridge organs here in Vir-
vpa have made unusually candid admissions in respect
40 tbSeondton Of the Democratic party and the gloomy
rospAts Of their candidate. Not one ofthem believes
there Is the slightest earthly hope Of the election OF
Bree6nridge AL Of them know, aud most OF them ae-
kpowedpe that the Democratic party is utterly and ire
trieyby disrupted-that it is powerless to elect either
Brecknridge or Douglas-and that its ony object IN
sdheinv 10 the one or the other is to try to keep up
partial organization of the party for the emergencies oil
,ure contests In other words the object is to pre-

We discover Southern men, the supporters OF Breckn-

into the hands Of the Black Republican paFty-and play
