HE OLD DOMINION STILL TRUE-The know nothings pretend to believe that Vir- g,hla wlll vote for Bell. In all past strug- gles the proud old commonwealth has been true to the cause. When the popularity oi Gen. Ha@fson so swept over the South like wild and mighty tornado, Virginia was :" falthful-found" among the t" innu- merable false" Henry Clay, with all of his seductive eloquence, could not win her from the pain of duty. The military eclat of Gen Taylor could not seduce her, and it is an apsuTdlty to suppose that ohm Bell can vanquish the uneonquerable democracy of Virginia. All the information we receive from the State is of the most hatterine character. Senator Mason made d spec at Petersburg few days since, and he gave It as his certain conviction, based upon per sonal observation in every part of the State, that Tn the coming election, the vote of Virginia would surely be cast for Breckin ridge and Lane. There was no doubt of this, ne said, in bis own mind. and the yote for Douglas, he thought would scarcely be felt in opposition to the general voice.
 As another indication of the probable result in Virginia, we give the following from the Nashville Union:
 "HoN. FArETTE McMULLEN, OF VA We were pleased to receive call yesterday from Gov. McMullen, of Va The Cover nor is just from the Old Dominion, and assures us that she will stand in November where she has ever stood, in the front rank ot the democratic States. s."-1palanche.

The offer of the Vice Presidency to MT
 Yancev, saJf atl

Under the head "Another Falsebood Nailed, '' the States and Union, with more boldness than discretion, declares that it is untrue that the friends of Mir. Douglas re- quested MT. Yancey to allow his name to be used as the Douglas candidate for the wee presidency, and that our statement to that effect Is without foundation.
 " hen we made the statement we were entirely convinced of it's truth. We knew that the offer was made and reiterated to MT. 1ancey by Mr. Douglas and some of ms leading partizans, and that it was only when Mr. lancey intimated that he con sidered the proposition as insulting to him, that he was freed from the importunities of the Douglasitcs. We knew this from Ae best authority.
 We do not desire to bandy epithets with MT. Douglas organ; but in order to prove the eorrectness of our assertion, and the shameless hardihood of those who presume to lmpugn our veracity, we wrote the fol. lowing letter to our esteemed fellow citizen ,. ,. Baxter, esq.,, who, we are informed, was present on one occasion when the offer was made, and we received the following reply. MT Baxter's high character and standing render it impossible. to question for moment the truth of anything which he says or writes: .a.f{ {.fy- -.

 My DEAR SIR: l would ask your attcn- ton to the following editorial article which appeared few days ago in the columns of the States and Union of this city:
 ANOTHER FALsEHooD NAILED.
 :" It has been stated in some quarters that Mr. Wm L. Yancey offered the vice presidential nomination on the Douglas ticket. This is veal, attempt of the boters to get their champion into decent political utilization. We emphaticaly deny that any such offer was made--that anybody had authority to make it. 'Al ssse5a ast ' 7' - "lhe fanatic dsunionist was never invited to disgrace the democratic tieketbv having his name printed on It. There is no foundation for such a rnmor, and the author of it whoever he be, while evidenly sharing in the desire for decent associa- ton he wishes to push his cheat into, nufes the attemnt by the untruth with which he makes it.
 " W call upon the Constitution to correct the | falsehood." ,iHe
 believe that you know, of your own personal knowledge, that the fact which the Douglas organ .recklessly pronounccs to be a l" fotsehood, is entirely true. If so, I shall be much obliged to you to state what you know in relation to the matter, and give me permission to publish your reply.
 Very truly, yours, .....J.. ..'.'
