CHEERING PROSPECTS, following eorres-S
pondence, from various reliable sources, of
the cheering prospects and increasing popu-
larity Of BREcKINRIDGE and LANE, in every
portion Of the country, is copied from the
Washington Constitution" Never before
was nomination so enthusiastically received
by the people of this country and atno time
did there ever exist greater necessity for a
complete and cordial union of all who regard
the institutions of their country, the princi-
pies of the Constitution, the equality of the
States under the Constitution as paramount
to party dictation. The crisis has taken place
the great principle of the equality of the
States is the main issue to be determined it
lifts itself far above the ordinary party poll
tics of the day, and appeals to every Demo-
crat, to every patriot, to forget past differ
ences-to lay aside personal prejudces, and
rally in their country's cause, under the ban
ner Of EQUAL LAWS AND EQUAL RIGHTs, OF
BREcKINRIDGE and LANE:
READING, Pa, July 30, 1860.
Everything is working fayorably towards
success for BREcKI NRIDGE and LANE, and the
specious arguments and ad cdptanduw move
ments of the Douglas men are not meeting the
favor the prime movers anticipated. In fact
they look blank.
Fulton COUNTY Pa, July %, 1860
am happy to have the privilege of inform
ing you that in this county, which has always
been Democratic, and strong in the faith too,
we can muster host of good Union and
Breckenridge men. The Democracy are for
him first, last, and always. We look upon
them as the regular and national candidates,
and as such will give them our hearty support.
CARLISLE, Pa, July 81, 1860.
The Breckenridge men are increasing every
day There is certainly a great change in
our county. Three weeks ago we could not
hear Of but very few men who had openly
ayowed themselves as opposed to DoaglaS; now
we can count them by hundreds. In my
town (Dickenson) Breckenridge and Lane will
receive nearly every Democratic vote.

PERCH RIVER N. Y, July 30, 1860
So far as | can see Breckenridge and Lane
are overhauling Douglas in this section very
fast. | am and have been Democrat all my
life very long one, and shall be one while

out for good report from us in November
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July "a, 1860
Our State is sure for Breckenridge and Lane
in November. Missouri is one Of the surest
States in heSouth for Breckenridge. All the
young Democracy and every sound old on,
are withus, and we will give Douglas good
fight in the State as even the Bell men arr
determined to kill the ism he has sprung OF
the nation in the forthcoming campaign. i
matters not what the result Of the Angus
elections may be, Douglas will not carry tn
State at that time, and am safe in prophecy
ing he will be so far in the background il
Novemberas never to be heard of again,
De SoTo Mo-, July 20, 1850.
The Breckenridge and Lane feeling pro
crosses more and more daily, and the resul
i'll November will convince those who woul
wish to bring the incubus of black-republi
canism into power that they will miss thei
mark. Missouri viii be all right in November

BELFAST, Me-. July %, 1860.
The first four weeks Of the campaign hay,
satisfied me that the Douglas men are deter
mined to elect Lincoln if they cannot Mr.
Douglas. They are if possible, more bite
the South than the republicans. Is it no
their purpose to establish a rival sectiona
party in the North2 If the South can b,

BRAEDoN Miss, July 20, 1860.
Breckenridge has the race to himself in this
State. Bell is nowhere and as for Douglas
there ishot, to my certain knowledge, a sin.
