a good, noble-hearted, Alabama Democrat, writ
ing for club Of eight subscribers at Pickensvie,
cheers on the National Democracy thus: /" am a
native Tennessean, and have seen a great deal of
old Maury Democracy, but have never seen any
more enthusiasm than Is manifested by the people
of old Pickens for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. be-
lieve there is but one DOUGLAS man in Pickens
county at this time. Where is the $4,000 majority
for DOUGLAS promised by the leaders of the DoUGIAs
Convention in Alabama Behold, the preponderance
has fallen on the other aide. BELL is is no where.
The BELL. men prefer LIxcoLS to BRECKENRIDGE, and
openly declare it,
A sterling Democrat, writing for the paper at
Smyrna, says: Send on the paper; l cannot do
without it. Democrats in old Rutherford are ali for
BREcK1SRIDeE and LANE. Know Ncthings can't
induce Democrats to vote for DOuoIAs they all I'M
derstand the thing
A good Democratic friend sending for large
club of subscribers at Athens, says: hear CT no
changes from BREcKRK1DGE to BELL have heard
of two changes from the Opposition TO BREcKNRIDGE.
Our county will be almost a unit for BREcKTNRpGE
and LAKE, mean the Democracy. We viii be
weakened two or three votes by squatters that will
vote for BELL if they think DOUGIAs cannot get
respectable vote WHITTHoRNE made telling effort
here on the tenth-the effects were seen here on
Monday following
A good Democratic friend sending for the paper
for his friend at Rocky River, Warren county, says
democracy is all right here. cannot hear of a
DoueLAs vote among our Democrats. We will give
g good account for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE, Equal
Rights and the Constitutional Union, in November
A friend, sending US a club from Pikeville, says ::
" We will send some more names in few days. BELL
and LANE are all right here. DOUGLAS men are few
and far between"
One of the most reliable men, and leader in
Florida, writes to one of our most influential men
here, and we are permitted to gather from the let
ter, the fact that Florida may be set down as
overwhelmingly for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE in No
vember."
A friend writing US from Hardin county, having
sent US twentyone subscribers, says: I" In looking
over your paper l no mention made of our
county. As l am riding over the county every day
and to every part of the county, assure you that
every thing is right here for BREcKNRDGE and LANE
have seen but two DOUGLAS Democrats in all my
travels. The BELL men making great fuss for
DOUGLAS. think Hardin county will give the larg-
est majority for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE 1t gave
any Democrat. On the first Monday in August the
Democrats mad ratification meeting in Savannah,
and there was large turn out and the Democrats
organized and appointelR S. CHURCH and ]. NJ. CAR
TER as Sub-Electors. At the same time the Hon.
]. V. WRIGHT made one of his best speeches. and
tell you it had a telling effect l have sent you
twenty-one subscribers and am trying to get up
some more"
A good Democrat sending for the paper to Allan
ia, Ga says by way of encouragement to the true
National Democracy here and elsewhere:
al have Travelled far and wide over Georgia The
State will 20 for Breckenridge by ten thousand ma
jority over the combined vote of Douglas and Bell
some say %. 600 Bell, the paddock candidate, will
fall 900 behind Filmores vote. In the counties of
Pike, Merriwether and Spalding l am well ac-
quainted having lived there all my life. have in
my pocket list of gentlemen, seventy-six in num-
Der, who voted for Fillmore, who support
ing Breckenridge. There others, but this list
will swear to, else they lie. For two years have
been living in Florida and can give you encouraging
accounts of that State Ii will give Breckenridge a
larger majority in proportion to her population than
any State in the Union. 1t is told in Florida and
Georgia that Bell owns $50 slaves, while they say
Breckenridge neither owns ever owned one, and
yet they say Breckenridge ts farm with no slaves
Can't you give the true state of the case? This
locks a little 'fShy'
We state in answer to the foregoing inquiry, that
Mr.. BREcKINRIDGE does own slaves, and our informa-
ton is that Mr. BELL does not slaves We under
stand that Mrs. B. has a separate interest in some
slaves but that BELL has no interest in them this
opinion be incorrect, we would like to be informed
by Mr. BELLS organs here and elsewhere as to how
this matter really is?
