Let the DOusla. Men Look out for Fraud,


We have heard rumor to the effect that the reckless
and uaprincipled Brcekinridge of Virginia have
published and circulated or are about publishing aud
circulating, ticket containing the names Of the Breek-
ridys electors, with the names Of Douglas and John
son at the head thereof If this fraud is successful the
eject Of it will be that all the Douglas men, who vote
such ticket on the DAY Of election will be casting their
votes for Breckenridge and Lsneor in other words for
Yaneey, Revolution and Civil War This is a cute trick
"a miserable aud disgusting fraud on the part of the
Virginia Brsckinridgers-and the men, who would be
guilty of such unbashing rasoaity, are entitled to a
long service in the Penentiary. Let the Douglas men
Of the State keep sharp look out, aud be sure to foil
the Brecknrgers in their dirty work.
We should not be surprised, also, il these same I'M
orineped managers Of the Breckenridge party had not
published aud circulated design publishing aud ercu-
ng, ticket containing the names Of the Breckenridge
doctors with the names Of Bell and Everett at the head
hereof Nov, ticket with Bell and Everett only at
he head and containing the Breckenridge electors is
solely and totally Breckinrdge ticket and vote for
such ticket will be a vote for Breckenridge. Let no Bell
uan in the State use any ticket matter whose names
are at the head Of IT, that does not contain the names Of
the Bell electors, beginning with al. H. CHANDLER"
"TRAvis H. EPrs" and Thomas BRUcE," and endirg
Eith WALrEE PREsIoS, ~. J. Jackson" Jr, and "a
3. CALDWELL"
And further, let Douglas man, who really wishes
and intends for Douglas any ticket that does
not contain the names Of the Douglas electors beginning
with " GEo. Blow" Il. L. HOPKINS, and " JONATHAN
B. SroyALln and ending with GEO. w. HoPKISs," &c
J. STUART" and " VIZ. G. BRcwN.'
In conclusion les the Boil and the Douglas men
all over the State beware of the tricks and frauds Of the
Beekuridger for being utterly reckless and Desperate
these Breckinridgers will stop at no trick or fraud to
carry the State for the Yaneey Disuuion candidate

A Sourvy Trick.

The Geographic agent this city sent the following
despatch TO the Baltimore San aud other papers on Fri
day night last!
RICHMOND 0E 2O.-Nelson lin favor Of Breckinridge)
is elected to the House from Fluvauna CO.. by 81 may
The democratic gain in the county since the last Cover
nOr's election is 220.
Not word was said by this impartial and scrupuOus
Geographic agent about the elections at other points,
nearly all of which went against Breckenridge. Not
word. His object to produce false impression
abroadas to the strength and prospects Of Breckenridge
in Virginia and hence the scurvy, sneakng disrepua-
BILE trick of which he has been guilty.

Nov hesitate not to say, that there is not in

such statement The only Democratic electoral ticket

some persons friendly to Breckenridge. We have the
whole proceedings Of the Douglas Committee, which
met on Thursday last before us, and they confirm en-

therefore, the slightest particle of foundation for
the declaration of the Enquirer, that Douglas has with
