| HOSTILITY OF THE PRESIDENT AND JOE LANE TO
ONION OF THE DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS
There is not very strong probability of 1
Breckenridge, Bell and Douglas fusion in New
York. A number of leading Hards, including
Gid. Tucker aud John A. Green, have been here
for several days, hobnobbing with the President
and Gen. Joe Lane. Neither Of the latte,
worthless are anxious for fusion, and have urged
the Breckites to demand such terms as will make
Dean Richmond's hair stand on end. 1t is more
than probable that the mission of the Hard
Committee will end in the decapitation of a lot
II luckless Douglas oficeholders in the Empire
State, which will only add fresh fuel to the in.
ternecine war. A hearty cooperation of the
piebald elements anywhere is impossible.
PENNSYLVANIA FOR THE RIPuBLIcANs.
General Cameron reports that Pennsylvania

coin in November, almost without an effort He
also reports the Democracy IS utterly broken up
and disorganzed. Douglas contemplated tour

A dispatch from Richmond, dated last night,
says:
Jennings Wise addressed large audience at
metropolitan Hall, in this city, to night, in favor
of breckenridge and Lane. He stated. upon the
authority of Virginia delegate who remained
IN the Douglas Convention at Baltimore, that
VIM. L. ;Yancey was rendered the nomination
for the VicePresidency on the Douglas ticket
but that he refused to accept, stating that oil
and water could not intermix"
Mr., Wise stated that he was himself aware
of the fact that the Douglas men in Baltimore
we're hunting up Southern protectionist who
would accept the nomination for the Vice .Presi
dency, but tailod to get any. These statements
took the meeting by surprise. They will dam
