slight division in the Democratic vote is
required to give most of the Southern States
to the opposition. Hence if the Seceders
persist in running their candidate, and sue
coed in dividing the party vote, then the
inevitable result will be that almost the en-
tire South will be carried by the American
nominees. This is the only result that can
be accomplished by the Southern Seceders.
The idea that Breckenridge will receive the
electoral vote of single Southern State,
save perhaps South Carolina, where these
is no popular vote, seems to US the height
of absurdity.
The Philadelphia Press correspondent,
Occasional" touches of GEORGE SANDERS,
as follows:
The President has removed George N. San
ders at last from the Office of Navy Agent at
New York. George laughs heartily at Mr.. Bu-
chanan's hesitation in this matter. He has alb
solutely courted and defed him to remove him.
Sanders never agreed with J. b. on any part OF
his public policy, He fought him on Lecomp-
scented himself from his Office nearly all the
time. He has lived here among the politicians,
speculated in Kansas lots, and went to Charles
ton, from which he sent very expensive tele-
graphs to his Chief; and then to Baltimore,
where he led the rebels in the Convention, and
fought the Administration parasites all through
the sittings of that body. He was especially
severe upon Messrs. Sldell, Bright, and Com
pany, and he patronized the President with an
easy complacency positively shocking. Ac.
cording to the practice of the despotism here,
he ought to have been turned out long ago.
George is character. He is "whole team"
and a steam train to boot. His intellect is al.
ways at work. He sees everybody, knows
everybody, and talks to everybody, high and
low. He has little veneration for great men.
He would ask Chief Justice fancy to take
drink, and criticise Washington, were he living,
to his face. Born in Kentucky, and resident in
New York, he takes view of the whole coun-
rich, he spends money like nabob-not poor,
he has reared most interesting, family; and at
the base Of all his apparent recklessness there
is good sense. warm heart, and devotion to
his friends. So much for George N. Sanders.
HERE is the concluding paragraph of an
editorial in the New York Tribune of Mon
day the 25th ult., written by the senior
editor-a shrewd politician, notwithstand-
ing his own political views ION the whole,
the Douglas men have no reason to complain
of the ticket pitted against them. Next to
Caleb Gushing and JEFF. Davis, this is as
good ticket to run against as they could
have made if the selection had been con6ded
to their own hands. We predict that
Douglas and johnson will beat it in the
popular vote of the slave States, and run it
out of sight in the free States"
The intelligent Washington correspon-
dent of the St. Louis Republican, writing
on the 9th ult., says: "Many distinguished
politicians here give it as their decided opin-
ion that the Seceders will lose every State
in the South but South Carolina. Missouri
is yielded to Douglas by all parties here
except few Republicans who claim it for
Lincoln, if they can only put Blair through
again. All the Missouri delegates in Con-
gress have declared themselves for Douglas,
but Messrs. Woodson and Anderson, who
will support Bell and Everett. Hon. Miles
Taylor and others from Louisiana are conf
dent Douglas will carry that State by ten
thousand majority over the heads of Brock
inridge and Lane, and Slidell & Co., all
combined"

oueions by a vote of As ayes to Is nays:
