POLITICAL NEWS.


Still THEY CONE THE Charlestown (Ya.)
Independent says: " We have been reliably in
formed that another. old line Wing of this
county, and one who formerly represented it
in the Legislature, has declared his intention
to support the national ticket Of Breckenridge
and Lane, because it is the only ticket that
demands the equality of Southern rights un-
der the Consultation We have also heard Of
a number of young voters of the county who
have never supported the Democratic ticket
before, who mean to cast their votes for
Breckinridge and Lane, for the reason that
they will not support party that ignores in
its platform all principles. They want to
know when they vote, what they are voting |
for -
A reliable and well-informed gentleman |
from Loudoun gives us similar assurances as
10 that county. He said he kneio abouta dozen
in one neighborhood who intended III this
election to join the Democracy in supporting
Breckenridge and Lane.
We have similar tidings from all quarters
and Gov. Jmith, who has been visiting vari-
Gus portions of the State, told the mass meet
ing at Warrenton on Saturday last, that our
gains from the Wing party, would, he was
confident, equal our losses by the Douglas

withstanding the fact that there has been no
effort made in this section of the State, SO far
as we have learned, to influence the voters to
support Breckenridge and Lane, and the adj
ditional fact that all kinds of button-holing
and honey-fuggling have been resorted to by
the Belites to induce Democrats to declare
for Douglas, we are proud to say that the
banner district of 55 and Sc promise again
TO be the banner district for Breckenridge
in November next.
The sterling Democracy of the Southwest
are not to be frightened out of their wits by
the senseess cry of disunion when urged
against so loyal and patriotic a man as they
know Mr.. Breckiuridge to be. They see and
know that it is but an old trick of the enemy,
whose faith in the ignorance and gullability
of the people none of the many lessons of ex-
perience seems to have shaken" There is
said to be but one Douglas man in Wytht
county.
Mr.. French s. Evans, in the course of a
black-rcpublican speech at Germantown, Pa,

cal honesty Of a Southern man who makes O
public statement like that, in face of the fact
that nearly iour-fifths of the exports of the
whole country are furnished by the "poor''
South? Mr.. Evans must have presumed to q

dience
