The Game OF Rrag!

The Breckenridge editors and orators, after having
been terribly down in the moeth since the magn6
cent "jiat nv in Baltimore are beginning the cleo
ton approaches indulge in the harmless game of brag
Aud they are thus Boosting and putting away, without
either rhyme or reason Not thing has occurred with
in the last few weeks brighten the gloomy prospects
Of poor Breckinrdge-a man. who already lies buried
under thirty thousand majority against him in his own
STATE Of Kentucky, and for whom there is
ton
Because, here and there in the State, timid treul-
bling. spaniclke Douglas man, under the Influence OF
party hsh declares in favor Of Breckenridge the Breck
inrdze organs Immediately set up loud cry Of rcjoic
ug and swear BY the beard OF Mahomet that Virginia
Is all safe for Brccsiurige by untold majority. And
vet not single one Of these loud-mou.hed fellows viii
risk his moaey on bis brag The whole thing is rdcu-
l5us Where few scary political aspiran in the Doug
s ranks have given IN their adhesion to the Iancey Sc
ceders thousands Of the bone aud siuew Of tie party
have declared ia favor Of Douglas; while thousands
MORE have good for believing, have declared
In favor OF Bell. The truth sand the result on the
6sh Of November will show it-Yaneey. Breckenridge
Dunioum is psry dead ia Virginia. Indeed, the Yam
ceyBrecknrdse party ten fifteen thousand votes
stronger Immediately after the nominations were made
thin it "a now, or will ever be again. That DisunOn
faction has been losing daily aud rapidly ever since the
adjournment OF the Baltimore Convention in June; while
Bel and Douglas oa the other hand have been constant
" and rapidly gaining. And what is mOreand mark
Notwithstanding viii continue 10 lose down TO tic
dly Of election while Douglas and Bell will continue to
rlinl The Yauety candidate has no chance in the
world Of Obtaining the electoral Of Virginia and
is useless for the Breckenridge organs and orators to be
irving 70 humbug people AZ q distance With any such
preposterous idea The eyes Of the people Of Virginia
are at last vile open co the infamous DslniOn pro-
rramme Of Yancey aud the Breckenridge leaders, ard
never will they east their for the YanceyBreckn-
ridge Disunoa ticket Braggiag, gentlemen, Meth
er save YOU nor scare or dcoaeert any body else who
is not stark fool Il is already written in the book of
fate tina. Virginia viii never allow herself under
the destructive sway OF Ysncey and Cotton DisuuiOnsts
BY voting for Breckenridge Her vote will be cast for
John Bell the Constitution and the Union foreverl
To Illustrate the absurd and ridiculous Dragging in
dulzed in BY the Breckenridge organs here in Virginia,
W need only refer to the fact that Notwithstanding the
perfect harmony prevailing in the Opposition ranks and
IN, split and divided condition of the Democracy, the
Brseknrdgers claim for their candidate 100000 votesl
Now look The largest vote perfectly united and hdr
s0a9aS Democracy ever OBTAINED IN virginia was aOSuI
90 O0O-and that was given Buchanas four years ago
A. no other time has the Democratic vote exceeded 81
600 The 10000 in 1886 obtained in consequence
OF an accession from the Wing ranks Of 10 or $4,000
votes upon the dcs that there chance for Fill
more and that Buchanan stood the best chance Of de-
feating Fremont. The vote OF Gov. Wise-he largest
vote ever given for any Democrat except that for Buch
anau-was about So 600 The vote OF Gov. Le;cher was
IS or IS OOO And yet With these facts staring them in
tue face the Breckenridge organs claiming 100000
fo Breckenridge when their party is divided and the OPP
position perfectly harmonious Away with such absurd
and ridiculous humbuggery
10 conclusion tel the Breeknrdgers that the Bell
men in Virginia care nothing for their calculations and
their braggngs We can beat Breckenridge and DougIs
combined and we ask them odds. To our friends we
saysl hands 10 the rescue and the shouts Of mighty
triumph will GLADDEN. all patriotic hearts throughout the
land after the 18th Of Noyemberl
