delighted to go--she herself would be
most happy to accompany them, but
some domestic affairs required Ecr per-

would take her place.

Eirkwood, CHANGING at Annio's mani

the first thought or glance he had given
her, and she was soon forgotten in the
fascinating attractions Of Edith.

The young girl rose and followed her

Illinois.


The democratic editors in this State are
wonderful performers, as well as funny
dogs, and can beat the India-rubber man
clean out of sight in throwing somersets.
Less than two months ago they swore
roundly that Douglas was the only live
democrat who could.carry Illinois against
the peculiar friends of the immortal mig
ger. Now we learn from the same sotirce
that Douglas can't do trick in Illinois,
but Breckenridge will sweeptheState like
tornado. And so of all the Northwest
ern Commonwealths. No other mar but
the Illinois Senator could possibly carry
single one of them against the woolly
heads. Now Breckinridge, on slave
code platform, is making brilliant run
throughout that vast and fertile region,
while Douglas and Bell are nowhere
We regret having TO refer so often to the
inconsistency and want of sincerity of our
democratic contemporaries, but truth and
patriotism require it. The minds of the
masses have been too long darkened and
m'sled by their deceptious representa-
tons.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1860-07-20

The Cleveland Banner, which is gcncr.
ally well posted in regard to elections, ex-
presses the opinion that Douglas cannot
get more than $4,000 votes in Tennessee.
As from present appearances Mr.. Brock
inridge's vote will be less even than Dou-
glas, according to the Banners computa-
ton the Bell and Everett Ticket will car
ry the State by largely more than $4,000.
A much greater majority than we had
been counting upon. But it would not
surprise us in the least if the people, dis
gusted with the leaders Of the hopelessly
divided democracy, should abandon them
to their fate, and rally to man to the
support of the National Candidates. Pa
triotism and selfpreservation both invite
strongly to such course.

Debating a Successor.

Mr.. Buchanan made political speech
at Washington the other night, and may
be said to be in the field actively laboring
for Breckenridge and Lane. Not only
does he talk for them on the stump, but
by his orders the guillotine is working
day and night, chopping off the heads OF
office-holders who refuse TO do his bidding
in the matter of supporting a candidate
for the Chief Magistracy of the Union.-
What sublime spectacle is thus present
ed to the world! The President of the
Model Republic debating successor, and

government to promote and secure his

Alabama,

The statement in the Democratic pa
pers that the Opposition OF Alabama
had declared for Breckenridge and Lane,
is Roorback of the largest dimensions.
1t is true few old line Wings, of the
fire-eating brand, who run with the Mont
gomery Mail, have so declared, but the
Opposition party are regularly organic
ed for Bell and Everett, with full cleo
toral ticket in the field. 1t is notable
fact that wherever you strike a disun-
ionist, no matter what his party antece-
dents may have been, he is certain to
be for Breckenridge and Lane.

p0~ We have received note from an
"office-holder" at Kingston stating that
neither he, or the deputy postmaster at

nication in the Southern Reflector" to
which we referred last week; and, also,
disappearing the general tone and want
of good taste displayed in that COM
munication. We hasten to correct any
erroneous impression that may have been
made by our paragraph, and to release
the incumbent's cravat from any danger
which the closing sentence might have
suggested. -

RIGHT NAMEs.-A contemporary suggests
that IIerschcl V. johnson, candidate on
the Douglas ticket for the Vice Presiden-
cy, has the right name, as he is bound to
see stars before lie is elected.
1t might with equal propriety be said
that the head of that ticket, who bears
the sanity cognomen of Stephen, is nppro-
priately dubbed-for poor Douglas, like
his devout namesake of old, is being
soundly stoned on every side. Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, and Unionsts are oil
pelting him alike.

New York.

The New York Express says but one cleo
toral ticket will be run in that State in OPP
position to abolitionism, as represented in
Lincoln and HamliD. Meaning, we sup.
pose, that Wings, Americans, and Demo-
Gratis contemplate uniting upon Bell and
Everett, and thus crush out sectionalism
in that region. If the South would adopt
the same patriotic policy, the work would
be complete, and we should hear no more
talk about disunion and the everlasting
niger in the territories.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1860-07-20


sa5" The Secession prints charge that
the Opposition papers have a great deal
to say againat Mr.. Breckenridge, and very
little to say against Mr.. Douglas. We sus-
pect that's so. But the Secession prints
tell us at the same time that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge is the man, the candidate of the
National Democracy, and that Douglas
has no strength at the South and cannot
rally a corporal's guard in any Southern
State. Now what would they have the OPP
position do? Fight the "man of straw" as
they call him, and let his youthful and
lusty democratic competitor go free! Be-
sides, amt the administration, all the Of
fice-holders, and all the Secession prints
warning upon Mr.: douglas with all the
fierceness of hatred of recent birth? Le-
Ultimately the opposition papers have no
business to interfere in the war of the
factions, but it is their duty to spread the
facts end merits of the controversy before
the country, and the causes which led to
tho rupture, otherwise the country would
never learn the truth. Nobody looks for
anything but ex parte evidence in de-
mocratic sheet. A reliable and impartial
exhibition of the instrumentalities by
which Mr.. Breckenridge was nominated
and his present surroundings, are essen
tial to enable the masses to see how little
claim he has to their support, and such
exhibition the Opposition press only is
capable of making at this time.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1860-07-20

TIE SOUTHERN VorE.-The Secession
prints in this State mistake the proba-
bilities when they assert that Mr.. BreclS-
inridge will receive the vote of the South.
There are about 100000 votes in the
South, of which Mr.. Bell will get about
GOO, 900, the others TO be divided between
Mr.. Breckenridge and Mr.. Douglas. Not
one-third of the Southern vote can be in
fuenced TO support disunion sentiments.
We feel perfectly confident that Mr.. Bell
will receive plurality of the Southern
vote, and that Mr.. Breckenridge will be
the hindmost candidate in the race. I'm
der no possible circumstances can his
name be presented to the House or Gen.
Lanes to the Senate.

Misstouri politics.

The Louisville Jownalpublishes letter
from Rocheport, Mo-, from which We
make the following cheering extract:
c'Phe Bell and Everett ticket Is to-day
the strongest one ever presented TO The
people Of Missouri in opposition to the
Democracy. The State Of Missouri cast
the hast Presidential elections one hun
dred and ten Thousand votes, Buchanan
receiving about eight thousand majority,
The Douglas wing will receive this year
about thirty-fve thousand votes and Bell
and Everett will getall OF fifty shoHsand
votes. So you will perceive that Missouri
will give her electoral vote for the Union
candidates. The Democracy here con-
cede it. The ST. Louis Republican holds
out differently, but that paper is now
dead with the several political parties in
our State. The Democrats who support
Douglas will vote for anybody to defeat
Breckenridge. and so vice versa with the
other side. The Union party are in the
field with formidable array of orators,
and everything is working like charm,
whilst on the other hand we sec the two
wings of the "terrible" fighting like ii.
gers against each other, Hundreds ofthe
conservative Democrats in this State have
come over to the Union party. Missouri
is therefore right side up with care, and
will come down on jaded Democracy at
the November election like q ."thousand
bricks"
