Mr.. Breckenridge has announced his
intention to take the stump in kentucky
aud we notice some Of his supporters
particularly the Republicsns-hail the
fac. as an indication of his purpose to
canvass for votes. They are greatly mis-,
taken. 1t seems that bis object in APP
pearing before the people of Kentucky
is to explain the circumstances which in
duced him to take the position SO en-
phatically condemned by the Kentucky
Democracy, preparatory TO "'thdrd''-
u.g. The Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes
A dispatch has been received here that Mr..
Breck,Iridge had agreed TO take the stump. II
i. found 10 be absolute necessary that he
shou,d eu9eavor to explain hts deseitlon OF his
doctrines O 1856 and OF The Der.ocratic party
1t 70 said here that Mr. Breck inr. dye says he
cannot Lonoraby withdraw from the canvass
without frst enjeavoring to justify hin self for
the course he has taken. lie Is overw helm ed
by public sentiment, which is preying constant
/, on hi- mind. and he wishes, if possible. TO
safety his couDtrymen that he he's not been
governed by bad ambition.
BRECKINRIDGE GETTING "SHAKY ~
The Day Book says cit cannot be dis
"gnised any longer, that some Of the
"professed Breckenridge Democrats Of
"this State are timidly, and we had al
"most said, sneaknsly disposed to lose
themselves utterly in the mists and
"sloughs OF Douglas'sm."
The Day look is in bad row OF
stumps-the Breckinridge men Of New
York are going in for Douglas. What
will it do? The only sensible course it
can adopt is to soften down as fast as
possible, and take the same course It's
former friends have-go for the Demo
cratic nominee.
A RELIABLE correspondent writing to
the Albany atlas and Aryus, from Sci
pc, Cayuga county, says: =" Douglas
will carry the State Of New York if the
town of Scipio is any criterion. There
are in Scipo 1870 straight Douglas Dem
ocrats aud only one Breckenridge man.
When Buchanan run for President there
were ouly seven Democrats who voted
for him, now there are 1870 Democrats
here, and we calculate to pole $50 at the
least We are on the gain every day
and every thing looks prosperous
The Milwaukee NeWs of the 22d SAYS
con Monday evening mr.. BicgIer, for
mcrly editor Of the Atl,s, the German
Republican organ of that city, made a
speech before the Ninth Ward Douglas
Club, in which he renowned aud dc
nounced Black Republicauism, and an
nounced his determination to support
Dou .las and Democracy. His example
will be followed by hundreds of the Ger
man Republicans of Milwaukee,"
The Louisville Journal says: 1t is
conceded on all honest hands that Mr..
Breckinrdge has not even the shadow
of show of chance in any non-slave-
holding State, and the late elections
prove that he has none in either Ken
lucky or Missouri. All the Brcckin.
ridgeism worth mentioning will soon be
cooped up within South Carolina.
Hon. II. Il. ELLIOTT, one of the Breck-
inridge electors at large in Mississippi,
has declined. The Selma (Aia.\ Seuti-
mel SAYS:
"Thus, one by one, as tie second sober
| thought comes over the people of the South
10 they desert the sectional piraiical craft OF
breckenridge and Lane, rugged ont aud put
under sail at Baltimore by a rabbie conven-
| ton"
SINCE the union Of the Doug las and
Bell men Of New York, large number
Of hitherto neutral papers have declared
for Douglas and Johnson. Prominent
among them arc the Monticello Watch
man and the Newburg Telegraph, both
old and influential journals.
What campaign we should have had il
Seward had been nominated ut Chicago

Which is equivalent to saying, "What
4 hard time we are having, with Lincoln
for candidate" There are thousands
OF political workers who feel this, but
most of them are too prudent to say it.
