JEFF. Davis in Memphis.

Hon. JErr. DArr5 spoke in MouPhis Isot
Saturday night. or his speech the 4PpeaI
says
The inference which We drew from his ora
tOrical effort was simply this: That Col. Davis
thought this was very bad and disagreeable
Union for SOutherners to live in at best; that
it wO1id be prudent for all of Us, who don't
desire to be captured by the abolitionists and
be made "hewers of wood and drawers of
water" to get ont of it Immediately, or Cote
for the Yancey ticket, just as we chUUse. He
thought that il would be self-disgracc and
self-degradali0n for any Southern man to ac-
cept Office or lac uader black republican adj
mlnisiratiOn! He pronounced fulsome
eulOgy upon few old political reprobalcs
from the Northern States, who were formerly
members of the democratic party, and who
are now consOrting with the Yanceyites. He
also spoke in terms of respect regarding the
.-Old public functiOnary" at Washington,
which fact elected the most unmistakabIe
jeers of derisiOu from the vast coneourse of
listeners. In abiding to the influential per-
sonages who are now giving in their adhesion
to the Breckenridge ticket. he utterly ignored
al mention Of YIN. L. Ydnceyt The silent in
quiry is, Why aCus 1t?
Ii is circumstance worthy of record, that
the Mississippi Senator proclaimed the fact,
boldly and fearlessly, that he Came as the adj
Vocate of the Southern Democracy" an an
nOuncement which AT once placed himself and
his party outside of the regular national demo-
cratic organization. He made no allusion to
MS celebrated Portland speech, delivered
some two years ago, unGer the benign infu-
euce of a Northern atmosphere, and under the
incentive of ''loDgings deep and aspirations
high" for political preferment.

A BRECKINRIDGER's ADvICE.-There was a
Breckenridge State Convention in Missouri
last week. One of the delegates to Charles
ton, a Mr.. THURsroN, is reported to have
made a speech ''the most noticeable feature
of which was the expression of bis belief in
Lincolns election, land the advice to prepare for
defeat after which they would be purged and
ready for a democratic victory" Mr. THURS
TON is disposed to be candid, but it is too
soon yet to admit the election of LINCOLN. 1t
is true enough that BRECKENRIDGE cannot de-
feat him, bat we have an unfiinching faith in
the power of Unionists to do that job hand
somely. Mr.. Thurston's advice TO the Brock
inridgers, however, to prepare for defeat"
was good. They are bound to be defeated
nothing can save them.

"A FELLOW CITIZEN" of Maine, is embalm.
ed is the following pathetic quartrain, by a
local poet in the birmingham Chronicle
''Can one be found to fill the place
OF this lamented MANI
Then let him come, and be shall be
Our fellow citizen.'
Let him go, by all means.
a Progrunuae.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Latelligencer
lays down the following diagram of the
course To be pursued by the Southern States
in case of the election of Lincoln:
On the ides of November next, when Jupi-
ter hurls his angry lightning along tie wires
and announces the election OF Lincoln, let the
Southern Senators and the Southern people
at once declare the fact, for it will then be a
fact, that John e. Breckenridge is chosen the
First President of the Southern Confederacy
Let him select his cabinet of Southern men,
at once let him establish his government;
the Senators and Representatives for the
South are already chosen for the time being;
let an honest declaration of the cause that
have led to the separation be put forth to the
world; let the South hold the North, as she
holds the rest OF mankind-enemies in war,
in peace friends. Let this be done, boldly
Immediately and with determination; and to
support aud maintain snch eonfederaey the
people OF the South will pledge their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor; to de-
fend il against attack or invasion from any
quarter they will yield up the last drop
of their life-biood,
We very much doubt If John G. Breckin-
ridge could, in the event contemplated, be
considered the first President OF the Southern
Confederacy. That honor Gf honor it be)
would rigbtfdlly belong to John Bell, for be
will undoub.e eddy obtain not only the votes of
a majority of g Southern States, but q MAJ

The MASK THROWN OFF.-The Baltimore
Ptfriot. under the guise of supporting BILL
and EVERETT, has been doing all il could to
promote the success of LINCOLN. When
charged with its hypocrisy, it had the hardi-
hood to deny it. Its editor has, however, at
last thrown of the mask. The N Y. Pos.
republican, thus notices speech nc made a
fey days ago in New York:
Mr.. Evans, of the Baltimore Patriot, last
evening made speech before the Union Wide
Awakes, at Stuyvesant Institute, in which he
declared his determination to work to the
bitter end Tor Lincoln and Hemlin. He said
that In Baltimore they had tried to injure his
paper by taking away advertisements, but
he had gone 10 al aactioneer and said, There
is large three-stoiy brick house, well built
and furnished; put it up and sell it for cash,
and will put the proceeds into this work,
and see if we cannot succeed in this contest
for freedom"
Will those Southern Breckenridge organs
such as the Montgomery (Aia) Aaii-now
stop aupling the Bainmore Patrio as BELL
and EVERETT paper?

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. Is, 1860.


The Union and American, of yesterday COM
ments Hpon an editorial of the PATRIOT, reia-
tive TO the action of the Breekinridge-fa ncey
lsafIars IN Northern States. yoho are pretend
ing to desire to fuse with DOUGLAS and BELL
10 defeat LINCOLN, and yet demand impossi-
bic terms. Our contemporary thinks US ig-
norant of the facts touching their course in
Pennsylvania, and remarks:
Now the PATRIOT knows, or ought TO have
known, that after the disruption at Baitl
more, i JOINT ELECTORAL TICKET WIS agreed
upon by the friends OF Bieckinridge and
douglas, and the manner in which the vote
was tO be cast by that ticket was agreed upon
at Cresson Upon that ticket there were
twelve or more avowed friends of the Doug
las. Forney and few other semi-RepublI
can friends of Douglas rrpudIated the Ores
ron arrangement.
The JIsiOn and A1neTicds;s recollection OF
things and ours differ. We do not know that
4" joint electoral ticket was agreed upon by
the friends of BRECKENRIDGE and DOUGLAS"
as stated. Our recollection of the matter
agrees with that of Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE, who
states the facts in his Ashland speech as fol-
lows:
Was Mr. Douglas willing to unite in the
only practical mode for the defeat OF Mr..
Lincoln, as many of the wisest men in the
East thought? OF the details OF that l know
nothing. Did not the Democratic State Con
ventiOn in Pennsylvania, before the National
Convention assembled, nominate an electoral
ticket and place it before the people, and did
mol large majority Of The State Central Commit
tee Of Pennsylvania. after disruption at Bal
timore, propose that the people Of Pennsylvania
should rCse for The electoral tiekd, sritiOn any
change and that those electors should vote
for whoever could defeat Mr.. Lincoln: Was
not that recommended

ferred to; and were not the Large majority

of the kind proposed, which, as between him
