John G. Breokinridge.

Major Breckenridge, in his speech at
Lexington, having made some unkind and
uncalled for illusions and charges against
the Hon. George Robertson, the venera-
BILE gentleman in whose office he read
law, Mr.. Robertson replies through the
columns of the Frankfort Commonwealth.
We annex the closing portion Of his let
ter:
The Union has not in her bosom any
citizen on whose cordial allegiance she
has stronger claims than she has on the
heart Of John G. Breckenridge. With her
maternal nourishment he has grown to q
marvellous height far above any other cit
izen of his age. He says that he is for the
Union, and am unwilling to doubt that,
as man, his heart beats for its glory so
must that of every unambitious and ra-
tional citizen, and that also of every aspir-
ing citizen who gets power and everything
else he wants. But, whatever the Vice
Presidents heart may feel, his hand is
now uplisted in the cause of disunionists.
Nominated by the influence of nullifers
and secessionists- standing with them, on
their destructive platform, denying to the
nally to interpret, and, by their power, to
uphold their own Constitution, and to en-
force their own Constitutional will against
the opposing will of State submitting
his high name TO the use OF sectional fac
ton for the disintegration of his ancient
party, which loaded him down with pre-
mature honors-his new party acting as
an auxiliary to the Republican party-and
htn,oolf o,,rratnAo1 hy n hn1,y a,,or1 ~
anti-union "LeaguerS," whose motto is
"A Southern Republic, the only safety ofMe
South" and insisting, with them, that the
| continuance of the Union, constructed by
the blood, and hallowed by the blessings
of our revolutionary patriots. shall depend
on an impracticabe idea-he ought not
to be surprised that he is considered dis
union candidate by even many personal
friends who regret his awkward predica-
ment, so ungrateful to his old party, so
pcrilous to himself, and so unfilial to the
Union. lie even derides the platform of
the Union party, and says that all parties
stand on 1t. Surely he does not under
stand its import and its aim. 1t was
made to preserve the Union by uphold
ing the supremacy of the Constitution
over all local opposition, and to enforce
the laws of the Union in defence of all
nullifyinga and seeding resistance. A Yam
cy cannot stand on it--no nullifier or Sc
ceder can stand on it--can or will their
candidate stand on it? 1t is the saving
platform on which the Union rests, and
on which alone it can rest long or in peace.
1t was formed as the proper and only pro-
per creed of an Union party for just such
crisis as the present-and it was COM
mended to his countrymen of all parties
by its founder Henry Clay, in his last CO.

An EXPEDITION CONE TO NoTHING.-The
Galveston CiriGan is responsible for the fol-
lowing piece of information. The Knights
of the Golden Circle, who have been SO
far benighted as to march to Western
Texas, have concluded that they have
had about as near view of the elephant
as would pay. The Corpus Christi Ran
chero says:
"The last detachment of knights Of
the Golden Circle that arrived here, in
stead OF going farther towards the ''seat
Of war;" left, we understand, for their re-
spective homes. Those who went to the
Banquette, came back here and did like
wise; and as they performed the trip into
the country and back on foot, will satisfy
the Cirilian they did not carry brides with
them. -.
This morning another party of X. G..
G., from the States, arrived here. There
must be mismanagement on the part of
leaders, or else a concentration of force
would be better understood"
Young men at distance should be eau
tious how they enter upon quixotic and
desperate expeditions of this kind. The
whole scheme, in the present state of af-
fairs, is chimerical and dangerous in the
| extreme. -.......

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION 1t is charged
by the Douglas men that the friends of
Mr.. Breckenridge stayed away from the
polls at the recent election in Indiana,
and by the friends of Mr.. Breckenridge
that the Douglas men aided in the cleo
ton of Curtin in Pennsylvania. 1t is adj
mitted by both that Democratic dissen-
sion and Jealousy gave ito Republican
ism an easy victory.
The Patriot and Union, a Brock nridge
Democratic journal of Harrisburg, Penn
sylvania, remarks as follows on the recent
election in that State:
"Had Foster been elected it is proba-
BILE that union might have been formed
| that would have carried the State in No
vember, but since the field has been lost
and now nothing remains for the Demo
cratic and conservative voters of the State
but to test the relative strength of their
several candidates, and to utter, thy ough
the ballot box, their protest against the
election of sectional President of a mi
nority of the people of the United States.
How this may best be done is matter for
further consideration We have stuck to
the cause of union as long as it appeared
possible that union might be effectual in
defeating the election OF Lincoln. But since
that seems to be foregone conclusion it
is a matter of little consequence whether
the friends of Mr.. breckenridge support q
distinctive Breckenridge ticket or union
ticket, so they are only enabled to express
their preference for Mr.. Breckenridge"

geeeesion.

That able paper, the Memphis Eaqairer,
draws a strong, yet true picture Of the
results of Secession. We quote with the
remark that we have an abiding faith
that Lincoln will not only not be elected,
but that his defeat will break up the
Black Republican party, and discomfort
and overthrow the disunion programme.
Also, that the Inauguration of great
Union party will follow, which will en-
body the conservatives of all sections and
preserve the Government and the Con-
stitution.
The following is portion of the En-
quirer's article:
Should Lincoln unfortunately be elect
ed, and some FIVE or six of the extreme
Southern States declare for secession, no
man should look to the future without n
shudder. Political, commercial and so.
cial ruin would stare us boldly in the
face. There is not banker or moneyed
man in all the land who would part with
dollar or give any living soul credit for
one. Every bank in the land would sus-
pend in thirty days and every dollar of
coin be boarded as in civil war. The
great staple articles Of export-cotton
and tobacco-would find no home buyers;
and they would, at once tumble down to
that price which foreign buyers would
delight to place upon them.
Distrust and suspicion would envelop
everything, and the man of wealth to-
day would be one of poverty tomorrow.
1t would not be commercial simeon
alone, sweeping over the country, but ii
would also be revolution, civil and DO.
litical, in which everything would rbave
the hue Of blo1, because there would be
a general apprehension Of collision be-
tween the State and Federal Govern
ments.
Can this danger be averted? Can the
election of any one man restore conf
dence to the country? Let our readers,
of all parties, do the Union party the
justice to remember that this critical con-
dition Of the nation is the result of moth
ing they have done. The Union party is
responsible for none of this alarm which
all good men feel. 1t has done nothing to
excite and foster that sectiona! feeling so
inimical to every interest of the country
Its leaders have counselled moderation,
forbearance and prudence; and all now
admit the wisdom of their conduct.
The country needs such men at the
head of its affairs.

October Elections,

The Black Republicans carried the State
elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and In
diana, on the 9th, by large majorities. In
Pennsylvania, the majority is set down at
$4,000; Ohio, 5000; and Indiana, $1,000.
In Ohio, the Douglas democrats gain two
to Congress over the Black Republicans,
and one (perhaps two,) in Pennsylvania.

South Carolina Cockade Minute
Men,

A correspondent of the Savannah Re
publican, writing from Columbia, S. c., on
the 10Th of October, thus refers to the
Minute Men" who wear the cockades:
Gan association of Minute Men" was
formed here last week, which already
numbers about three hundred members.
They have meetings nearly every night,
and learn that more than sixty men
were initiated last night. Similar associ-
atoms are being formed in various parts
of the State, and the movement is spread
ing rapidly. cannot better describe its
objects than by copying the preamble to
the constitution :"
1--WE, the undersigned, citizens ofSouth
Carolina, in view of the impending crisis,
necessarily incident upon the election OF
Black Republican to the Presidency OF
these United States; and in view of our
section, ourselves, and our dearest inter-
ests, which must fall in the event of the
triumph of northern fanatlcism, hereby
form ourselves into an association, under
the name and style of the Minute Men,
and do further solemnly pledge 'ourlives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honor to
sustain southafn Constitutional equality
in the Union, or, failing in that, to estab.
lish our independence out of it,"
The members are required to wear O
blue cockade on the left side of the hat
and, also, as soon as possible, to procure a
Colts revolver, rifle, or some other ap.
proved frearm. A public demonstration
is to be made on Friday night and, if one
may be permitted to judge from the blue
cockndes seen about the streets, the dc.
monstration will be an important one, not
only in numbers, but in the character oil
the men composing it. In public process
sion, the members are required to Garry
lantern, fambeau, or other demonstra.
tive implement" appropriate to the occa
sion.

LATER.-The day after the above was

Mitchell CASTOR, hauled up at the print
ing-ofIice door. "Hell-oh!" says Mitchell;
"whar's Sam?" "Here!" responded that
diligent gentleman, who is always at his
Post "Come Quit" says Mitchell. Cant
do it," returned Samuel. "Busy calcu-
lating Breckinridges chances of election,
and have got him within 295 votes of the
White House, sure" "But, Taters," says
Mitchell. "Oh, ah, yes" Well, to be
brief, out we went, and there was some po-
tatoes, sure encyclopedia beauties, as
lohg as your arm and as big as the leg Of
the Irish giantess. They were just % in
number; we did'ntweigh ormeasure them;
and it is only necessary to add, that the
wagon they were hauled in was a very
large one-indeed, we may say an uncom-
monty large wagon-hold abouta hundred
bushels of corn in the "year"-and hitch
ed TO that wagon, were two yoke of steers,
with the old roam mare in the lead.
Mr.. CASTOR has our thanks-he's little
ahead of friend Charley in the contest for
premium potatoes, but nothing likeas far
ahead of him as Bell is of Breckenridge
in the Presidential race.
