men enough in the State to make it worth while.
The Union ladies Of the interior Of Kentucky are
having Bell and Everett printed on their bonnet
strings. Another strange rumor is, that the Re
publican ladies Of the West are having pictures Of
Abe Lincoln on their bonnet strings, offset to
their sisters Of Kentucky. Contrasts heighten the
effect of beauty.
A Breckenridge paper says that Buchanan has no
enemies except those he refuses to buy. It might
with infinitely more truth be said that he has no
friends except those he has bought.
The Richmond (va) Wing insists that the Doug
las Democrats out-number the supporters of Brock
inridge in that city and says that the preponderence
is constantly increasing. tc n
The fact that Hon. A H. Stephens Of Georgia,
has not taken the stump for Douglas, is owing to
the bad state of his health. He is firm for the reg
ular candidates, and will publicly advocate their
cause as soon as he is well enough to do so.
1t has been ascertained that upwards of 800
Democratic papers in the United States support
Douglas and johnson. Some 40 Democratic pa
pers in the free States support Breckenridge and
Lane, and about 100 in the slave States, making
140 in all.
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, has come out for
Douglas. Hunter, Mason and Wise are for Brock
inridge.
Gen. Leslie Coombs, who was lately elected Clerk
Of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, has addressed a
