POLITICAL ITEMS.

ERGNIA.-The staunton vindicator says: g As
| numerous rumors have been put afoat and cues
tions asked relative to the position of the Hon j.
T. Harris, member OF Congress from this district,
we deem it but anact Of justice to that gentleman
and to the Democratic party, to state that he is
supporter of Judge Douglas, believing him to be
the nominee Of the National Democratic party. y
Col. Harris is misrepresentation in Congress of the

carry 20 to $4,000 votes, and il is even thought by
many of his friends in Kentucky that he will lead
the aeceders' ticket We doubt this; but Bell is as
certain to carry the State as the election comes
and there are teo Democratic tickets which there

ticket as national, and it Ii Just possible that he
may finally go fer Bell. IAugnsta (Ga.) Sentinel
