The Driver Forgery.
CRAWFORD, ALA. Oct. II, 1860.

CRAWFORD, ALA. Oct. IL, IoOO.
EDS. ADVERTISER: &c n | e m n:
several weeks ago letter appeared
in the public prints purporling to
have been written from Russell
esupty. by one '.JOhn Driver.
The evidences Of fraud and forgery
were SO plainly stamped upon the
the face Of the letter that Mr.
Breckinridge's friends in this county
did not deem it worthy Of pubic
notice, inasmuch as We supposed
that no one could be found credu'
lous enough to believe it. Bot. il
appears from the Hail and your
paper Of to-day that Mr.. Joe Tay lol
has been using it in the canvass; and
several Bell papers 10 the State art
attempting to make capital of it.
No such a man has basn heard
of in the county as John Driver,
after diligent enquiries. The whole
thing is an infamous forgery from
be ginning to end, and a vile slande
upon the Breckenridge party.
Many false charges have beer
made against our candidates an
our party by the Bell Douglas fac
tiou, but nothing SO mean aud low
and so sutterly unworthy Of the motto
of a gentleman has besn got up q
this same "Driver" letter, and whel
a party has to support its claims t
the sdtfsrages Of the people by sue
contemplate tricks as this, it
tins for every honest man to qni'
/ There is gentle man Of the nam
Of Driver 10 this county, DR.. Elder

The Indiana Sentinel douglas

says: $
The effect Of the recent Northern
elections in the South, We presume,
will be 10 unite them in a common
party for the protection Of their pc.
cutler interests. The leading men
of the Southern States have over
and over again declared that the
elesiion Of Lincoln and the triumph
Of the Republican party upon the
sentiments svoxed by the one and an
nounced by the other, would be ample
cause and would jcstify secession,
A great many regard thsse events as
a foregone conclusion. The SINGER
ity Of the Souh,in the position they
have assumed, may soon be tested.
We may, at an early day, see
whether the threat sf disunion, in |
The event Of the election Of Lincoln, |
has been merely idle gasconade,
. scare. crow to frigh:en timid nerves,
,r sincere determination. If Lin.
'oln should be elected, one Of the
NO results is certain, other secession
n the part Of the South, or else its
ubiugation to the dominion of the
rsvailiDg anti-slavery sentiment of
he North. X

The Wide Awake Gibbs.

A very important item in north
ern politics are the Wide Awake
Clubs. In every CITY and large
town in northern States, organiza-
tons have been formed, in which
are enrolled many of the young
men and boys, and all Of the rewdies,
bullies, and vagabonds, that can be
collected together, Sy the promise
Of free suppsrs, and plenty of liquor
to drink. These bands Of rowdies are
drilled by companies and battalions,
like soldiers, and almost every
night parade the streets with Ian
terms OF pike slaves singing songs
and shouting Cor Lincoln. These
worthless are expected to be on
hand in full force on election days,
and like the Plug Uglies Of Balti-
more, in many Of the Northern
cities, they will control the cleo.
tion-Being armed and disciplined,
they will have every thing THEN
own way. Tens of thousand of them
have no legal vote, but who will
have the power to prevent them
from voting so often as they please

lice sympathize with them, and il
necessary will assist them. Ar

Wide Awakes. They sie all for Lin
