Governor by about q, 600 majority. He is the in
ventor and manufacturer of Fairbanks scales
Hereafter we shall not consider such scales tdir.-
We have our doubts about fair banks. and until
these doubts are removed we cannot believe in fair
scales made by Fairbanks. We regard the whole
matter as scaly.
The Democratic candidate was the poet, wit and
orator, John G. SAKE, Esq, man that can tell act
or enjoy good joke, and who ran "just for the fun
of the thing" well knowing he would be sacked.
The members af Congress are oil niger, and the
Legislature is nearly unanimously Of the same COM

can carry Nigermont in November. Weighed by
Fairbanks scales we presume he will nat be "fouud

CHICAGO, Sept 9-The clerk of the Lady Elgin

from the shore. She struck the steamer amd-shi2s,

separated instantly-the Abgusta drifting by in the
darkness. -.a-.

were going on in the cabin of the ELgin. In an

hour the steamer sunk. 80

A boat was lowered at once with the design of
going round upon the starboad side to examine the

but just that morning some person possessed him

reaching the wheel, but quickly drifted away and

Great Breckenridge Barbecue at Ashland-Mr
Breckinridge Defines his Position in a Strong
Union Speech.
LEXINGTON, Sept 5.-There was an immense gath
ering to-day at Ashland to attend the Breckinridge
barbecue. At an early hour the roads from all d.
rectiOns were crowded with people. A salute of SO
guns announced the arrival of Mr. Breckinridge.-
He was hailed enthusiastically, and his speech was
received with much applause He said, in substance,
as follows:
beg you, my neghbors friends and old constit-
uents, to be assured that feel profoundly grateful
for the cordial welcome you have extended to me.
The circumstances under which Iappear are novel
and unusual. do it in obedience to the request of
friends whose intelligence have been accustomed
to observe and if it be an uncommon thing for per-
sons in my position to address assemblies of people
can only say hope to discuss topics in a manner
not altogether unworthy of the attitude occupy
I have been asked, fellow-etizens, to speak in my
own home, because the political organization with
which am connected has been assailed in an unu-
sual manner; and, charged with treason to my own
country, appear before you to-day for the purpose
Of repeng certain accusations which have been
made against me, personally and industriously cir
culated through other States of the Union.
And next to show that the principle upon which
stand are the principles of the Constitution and
the Union of our country. And surely, if at any
time the justification could be found by any man for
addressing the people in the position which occu-
Ply, it will be found in my case Anonymous wri-
tsrs and wandering orators have chosen to tell the
people that l. individually am dsunionists and a
traitor to my country. And they declare with as
surance and affirm that have exhibited treason
| that makes, by comparison, Burr patriot and the
memory of Arnold respectable.
But, fellow-citizens, before come to these topics
I desire to make comprehensive statement in re.
gard to my position in connection with the Presi
dency of the United States have been charged
with premature ambition. have been charged
with intriguing for this nomination; with leaping
before the wishes of the people, and desiring tC
thrust myself before them for the highest office in
their gift.
&c proceeded to defend himself from various char
ge and defended the action of the Convention tina,
nominated him, and condemning the Front Street
Theatre Convention endeavorng to foist upon the
Democracy dogma and the leader of that dogma.

The following letter from President Buchanan has
been handed to us for publication It is written in re-
piyto one from Governor Smith calling the attention
OF Mr.. Buchanan to remark made by Mr.. Douglas
in. his speech at Concord The remark itself is
quoted by Mr.. Buchanan in the letter below, thus
rendering unnecessary any preliminary statement or
explanation We will add that, while much regret
ting that there should be occasion for such aetter
We are glad to give it to the public as eyidencing
spirit worthy Of President and course Of conduct
which will address itself to the generous synpathes
ofthe people;
WASHINGTON, Aug IL, 1860.
My DEAR SIN: have received your favor of the
Sth inst enclosing printed extract from the recent
speech of Judge Douglas at Concord. You inform
me you expect to be at the Charlottesville Conyen
ton, and would be glad to know something of the
interview referred to" in that speech According
oths extract the Judge states - ~
"The President told me if did not obey him and
vote to force the Lecompton constitution upon the
people against their will he would take off the head
of every friend had in Office"
1t is unnecessary 10 quote the alleged reply of the
Judge.
Surely there must have been some mistake in the
report of the speech, because never held any such
conversation with Judge Douglas nor any converse
ton whatever ding the least color or pretext for
such statement. 1t was not in my nature to ad-
dress such threatening and insulting language to
any gentleman. Besides 1 have not removed one
in ten of his friends, and not one of his relatives
Even among those of his friends who have rendered
themselves prominently hostile to the measures of
the Administration majority still remain in Office
might add that have never held apolitical con-
versation, with Judge Douglas on this any other
subject since the day my first Annual Message of
the. Sth December, 1857, was read in the Senate !;
and did not transmit the Kansas constitution to
Congress until the I'd February, 1885, the question
of slavery not having been decided by vote of the
people until 2lst December, 1857.
Now, my dear sir, in writing thus to you have
transgressed rule which had prescribed for my
self not to contradict any statements assailing my
public conduct and character until after the conclu-
sion of my term Of office. statement however,
comes with such force from senator Of the United
States who is of my constitutional advisers and
this, too in published speech delivered by him in
his canvass for the highest elective Office in the
world, that deem the present case proper excep-
ton. q"
Yours, very respectfully.
