WASHINGTON, Tuesday, July 81, 1862
BRECKINRIDGE AT THE SOUTH.
In speaking in my dispatch last evening of the
more dernonstIstiye Breckenridge men here as
abatipg their claims of carrying the entire South,
had no reference to the Breckenridge Committee.
Yet the urgency with which The Richmond En-
qairsr and The Examiner support compromise in
Virginia, makes it patent to any intelligent man
that the idea of united South for Mr.. Breckin-
ridge is Idle. A genteman of prominence in the
Cover meDt, who has been soOurning for little
time at Old Point Comfort expresses the opinion,
from Whist he could gather there, that Gov Wise
would take an ultra Southern position. This is
confirmed to me by a very able and weliuformed
Bell and Everett man, resident of Norfolk.
THE SLAVE TRADE.
If people generally were startled by the report
of the great mpiicity of persons in New-York in
the slave trade, the gentlemen Of the Colonization
Society here were probably not OF that number.
They think that those engaged ia the business have
an organization almost like Government, whereby
an espionage is kept upon British and American
Naval vessels engaged in suppressing the trade.
THE PARAGUAY CLAIM.
II it be true that the Joint Commission on Par
aguayan aft sirs does not consider that indemnity
is due The Paraguay Navigation Company for In
uries inflicted by Lopez, then it follows that there
was 10 ground for menacing Paraguay with war.
This was the position for long time held by the
Senate, but finally enough Democratic Senators
were Whipped in to authorize that act of stupen-
dous injustice.
MOVEMENTS OF GOV. COBB
Gov, Cobb is absent in Georgia, to attend the
University where his is about to graduate he
viii, meantime, probably put in his strong oar in
the political waters. However confident tue
Douglas men may be Of defeating Breckh ridge In
Georgia. they have not much hope Of defeating
Mr.. Cobb for the u. 5. Senate.
THE TREASURY EXTENSION.
On account of lack of means, there will be no
work upon the Treasury Extension during the
present season. The appropriation therefor was
S35O,OO0.
THE DEMOCRACY IN VIRGINIA.
TIE Richmond Examiner (Mr. Hunters organ)
Of to-day is at hand. In reference to family mat
ters in Virginia it says:
''Tbe division In the Democracy in the Union, which
oecuutd and assumed disti0ct dangerous form IN
tie late Convention at Baltimore, have resulted IN
creatir snagonisc organizations in this State 1T Is
q folly and what is worse dang mischief, to at
tempt TO ignore these divisions fail TO make e-
fort TO cure them. They not healed. They are
strength in the Union they may will produce ire
parable disasters if something IL not done To check their
misohevous operation
TIE Frominer then goes on to argue that as the
North Welded Mr.. Van Buren, at the demand OF the
South for the sake of party unity, so now, Mr..
DOUGLASS friends should have given him up 10 ac-
comulish the same object. After stating the
grounds on which the Democracy of the South dis
agree with Mr.. Douglas upon the Territorial ques-
ton, and which might had he been the nominee'
been INDUCED in for the purpose OF defeating MI
Lincoln, yet, as this year he cannot defeat MI
Lincoln. by reason Of the hostility ofeight Southern
States, the article concludes as follows:
"I1e Democracy are bound 10 support no candidate
inst to elect Mr. Lincoln, AZ that we know we VIII
do if We press Dir. Dong as just now we de, Gns
in common with the Democracy Of the state, Con.
venticn to decide this matter for us all WIN tne
support Of really wise, judicious and DemocrAllc
Convention, We can carry this State. The Democracy
have night 10 one aud they demand II, despite Tue
-csders of any National Committee"
