Claiborn r. Jackson all Right.

The Seceders have been recently claiming
Gov. jackson, of Missouri, as Breckinridge
man. He denies it emphatieally. The last
Pony brings a speech which he delivered at
Boonville on the ID of October, and in which
he says:
have stated emphatically before the elec
tion that believed that Judge Douglas was
the nominee of the Democratic party, and so
now state. further stated that had been
Democrat all my life, and have been gov
erned by the usages of the party, and was
bound in honor and good faith to give my
vote for MIR. Douglas,
After this declaration, he proceeded to
make very able argument in behalf of the
legitimacy of the Douglas nomination.
Gov. Jackson alludes to the report that he
had come out for Breckenridge, and, among
other remarks, 1--WE quote from pony dis

identical with the Douglas platform, with
the addition of the Wickliffe resolution,
which Mr.. Douglas, if elected, is pledged to
sustain. How can these Breckenridge men
object to the Democratic platform, when the
delegates of seven Southern States remained
in Convention, and on this same platform
voted for Hunter Breckinridge, Guthrie,
Dickinson and Lane? If the platform was
good then, why not good to day? There
was not mothers son of them but would
have jumped as high as his head TO have
got the nomination on this same platform.
The last thing done in the Charleston Con-
vention by those remaining was resolution
by Mr.. Russell of Virginia, calling on States
not represented to fill vacancies in the same
way Congress and States provide for
vacaneies-by calling on the people to
fill them. This was right When the Con-
vention met at Baltimore, some delegates ad

have thought differently from the Convention

its decision.

Somuch for the humbug story of the Breck

start next?
