missouri for BrecEinrIdUe.

A dispatch from Jefferson City to the St. Louis
Bulletin says the reelection of JAS. S. GREEN to the
United States Senate Is now beyond doubt or con-
troversy. Authentic and uudoubted information re-
ceived from the members of the Legislature person
ally, gives the friends of Breckenridge in the two
Houses ninety six votes, being clear majority on
joint ballot.
So it seems that after ALL the friends of BREcKTN-
NpGE and LANE carried Missouri at the recent cleo
ton as they will do in November!
The Bell fnea claim Georgia and the Douglas men
claim Georgia, whenthey know that in order for
either candidate to carry that State he must get
more votes than both the other Candidates In the
event neither gets majority the Legislature makes
the election The Legislature is already chosen. and
is for Breckenridge by overwhelming majority
over all others.
The Patriot asks US What evidence we have that
more than Majority the FILLMORE men have gone
to LINCOLN" We ground our belief on the following
facts:
Mr. E. R. JEwETT, publisher of the Buffalo Conc
,nerc,al President of the FILLMORE State Committee,
and chief manager of the FILLMORE campaign in
1856, and till very recently member of Mr. CmTrEN-
pEN's National Union Committee, now supports LIN
coin, with all the influence of the COMMERCIAL which
has ever been an able advocate of Wing and Ameri-
can principles. The Hon. N. S. BENTON, appointed
Canal Auditor by the American State officers IN
1856 an earnest supporter of FILLMORE, and Amer
lean candidate for Controller in 1857, now supports
LINCOLN The Hon. GEORGE L. BABCOCK. of Buffalo,
late State Senator, leading Old Line Wing and
American close personal friend and supporter of
FILLMORE is stumping Western New York for LINCOLN
The Hon. DANIEL UIIMAN the American candidate for
Governor in 1854, supporter of FILLMORE in 1886,
now supports LINCOLN. Gen. G. A. SCRoGGS, Presi-
dent of the American State Council, candidate for
1t Governor on the American ticket with ULLMAN in
1854, a suppOrter of FILLMORE IN 1856, delegate to
the Convention that nominated BELL and EVERETT, |
delegate to the late State Convention. no" sup |
ports LINCOLN. GoLDsNITH DESNIsToN, late an |
American member of the Legislature and Amerl- |
can candidate for Canal Commissioner IN 1891, |
warm supporter of FILLMORE in 1856, now supports |
LINCOLN. SHEPHERD KNAPP, a distinguished Old Line
Wing of New York city, and a supporter OF FILL
MORE IN 1856, now supports LINCOLN. JAMES U. PUT
NAM late American State Senator and the eloquent |
advocate of the principles and candidates of the
American party, and the personal friend and neigh
Dor of Mr.. FILLMORE, and the candidate of the Amer
lean party for sundry important State and local Of
fees, now supports LINCOLN. in 1856, there were
upwards of fifty Journals in New York that support
ed FILLMORE. The number of those that support
BELL and EVERETT does not exceed six.
The Banner and Patriot ask US to advise the
BRECKNRIDGE men in New York to 90 into the BELL
DOUGLAS movement. Do not the Banner and Patriot
know that Mr.. DOUGLAS his national Committee and
leading journals and speakers have again and again
imperatively commanded that there shall be no fu-
sion with the BRECKENRIDGE men in any State, let
the consequences be what they may!
