The Fusion.

The Breckenridge and Douglas Committees
were in session in Richmond, on Friday and Sat-

with each other for two whole days, came to the
conclusion that fusion between the two wings
was utterly impracticable. The proposed fusion
scheme, therefore, has proved to be a terrible

and that he asked pardon of the people"

Breckenridge and Lane both for the HOme-
stead Bill.

But short time since the Rachna0nd En-
Quarer denounced the Homestead bill as an iniqui-
tous abolition measure, which justly deserved the
condemnation of every Southern man, and that
no man should be supported by the South who
favored it. 1t happens that both of the candi-
dates on the secession ticket favored it.
Hon. Andrew Johnson, U. S. Senator from
Tennessee, says that Breckenridge was in favor
of it, and it is well known that Gen. Lane voted
for it. 1t is no wonder that Breckenridge has
fed to the mountains, where he is probably
PRAYING for them to fall upon him.

Rreckinridge Climb.

The Breckenridge Club was addressed on Fri
day night last by Messrs. Howe Y. Peyton, OF
this place, and A. II. Parkins editor of the Clarke
Journal. Mr.. Peyton spoke for an hour and five
minutes. He first pitched into Douglas and
squatter- vereignty with a vim, denouncng
squatter-sovereignty as an ''infamous doctrine, :"
and Douglas as faith-violating demagogue,
who cannot be trusted. He said the doctrine of
Douglas was more infamous and dangerous than
that of VIM. 81. Seward himself. After dispos-
ing of Douglas and johnson, he paid his profound
respects to Bell and Everett He had the can
dor and frankness to admit that Bell was sound
upon the slavery question, but he objected to
Everett because some 81 years ago he approved
of antislavery resolutions. He said Everett was
"bad man." whereupon the whole audience
laughed outright. When he had disposed of
Bell and Everett to his satisfaction, he spoke in
terms of eulogy of Breckenridge and Lane, and
said that all should support that ticket, where
upon the audience again laughed out.
When he had concluded, the President of the
Club, Col. Opie, mentioned the fact that Mr.
Parkins, of Clarke, was present, who, being then
called upon, addressed the meeting for q short
time. He thought our only safety reposed in
the doctrines of States.Rights, and thought the
Bell and Everett party the next best to that Of
Breckenridge and Lane. He feared that when
we would meet again it might be upon the
bloody battlefield.
The meeting was at least amusing and enter.

Mr.. Yancey InterrOgated.


On Wednesday evening, after Hon. VIM. L.
Yancey had concluded his speech in this place we
received, enclosed in letter dropped in the Post
Office, the following:
Enclosed we hand you some questions which
Mr. Yancey, in his discourse this evening, refused
to answer. They were placed before him just
as they are. MANY Citizens
"HoN. VIM. L. YANoEY-iSm Are you in
favor of dissolution of the Union in the event
OF Lincoln's election to the Presidential chair9
"Would you endorse the secession of any
Southern State if he (Lincoln) should be elected
President2"
On the same piece of paper was the following
request:
"HoN. VIM. L. YANoEY Please read and
answer"
In reference to these questions Mr.. Yancey was
las silent as "dumb-bell." AS it is known that
he has been an avowed advocate of Disunion fol-
causes already existing and as be refused to re-
|spond to the questions laid before him with 8
request to answer them, the conclusion is inev.
table that he is Dsunionist now, but he is toe
polite to acknowledge it before people loya
and DEVOTED to the Union. The serpent is r
the coil ready to strike, and is only waiting fol
the time when it shall be deemed expedient.
