TIE BRHck,SRIuGE MEN OF TEE NORTH FOR LINCOLN.

TIE BRECKENRIDGE MEN OF TEE NORTH FOR LINCOLN
The New York correspondent of the Boston Journal
says that the Breckenridge men in New York city
would rather see Lincoln elected than Douglas.
OF course they would. remarks the Nashville Ban
nr, otherwise we should not hear Breckiuridge's
name mentioned in the North as a candidate. Every
one knows that the running;of Breckinridge in the
North is designed to benefit Lincoln. Every body
knows he stands no more chance Of getting an electo-
raj vote in any Northern or Eastern State, than he
does of succeeding to the Papacy. Every body knows
that ninety-nine hundredths of the party. in the North
are for Douglas and against Breckenridge. And final
ly, every body knows that the Republican papers of
the North are e~xerting themselves to the utmost to
push Breckenridge as a candidate. Indeed, they seem
to bestow more !abors and attention upon Breckin-
ridge than they do upon Lincoln. They have DEVOTED
themselves SO exclusively to advocating the cause of
the Disunion Candidate, and have so completely ig-
nored and neglected Lincoln, that many Republicans
are beginning to suspect that they are not running
Lincoln IN good faith.

The FEELING IN oHIo,-A correspondent of a South
ern paper writes from Ohio White Sulphur Springs as
follows
Mr.. Bells strength is much greater than I had
supposed, and is constantly increasing. 1t is calling
out the old conservative Wing strength, which either
has not voted at all or acted with the Republicans +;
and it makes the Republicans tremble in their shoes,
for IN this NOV ement they see the han writing on the
wall, which warns them # impending Destruction
The Douglas Democracy are favorably inclined to
Mr.. Bell, and there Is an effort making to consolidate
the strength of both parties on a Union ticket. Should
this be accomplished, Lincoln will be beaten in this
Stale. AS evidence of the feeling of the Douglas
Democrats to Bell, a Douglas delegate to the Balti-
more Convention said to me that he believed the
Doug las party would support the Bell ticket in this
State if the October election should show the COM
bined strength to be a plurality especially if Mr..
Bell would plant himself fairly upon the non-inter-
yention platform. There is evidently a fixed deter
mination on the part of conservative men of the
North to make their strength felt in putting down
sectionalism, and they will throw their votes for Bell
or Douglas, as future developments determine will
best effect that object.
BELL AND EvERETT MEETISG.-The Bell and Everett
men held . large and enthusiastic meeting on Friday
night. Col. A. H. n. Dawson delivered a forcible aud
telling speech to an audience that sent up cheer after
cheer in appreciation. We believe the Bell men are
far, far ahead Of the Breckinridgers in this city

asks the fplowino Ms in and nartip.p o,a,

WHlcH Is THE ENEMY Of TIE SouTH'-The Louisville
Democrat asks the following plain and pertinent ques-
tions
The Black Republicans are more honest in their
opinions than the Iancey party. They hold that it
isthe duty of Congress to prohibit slavery in the Ter
ritorles. They had a majority in the House. and
they passed through the House a bill prohibiting
slavery in New Mexico.
The iancey- breckenridge party hold that it is the
duty of Congress to pro:ec, slavery IN the Territories.
They had a majority in the Senate, bu. when the
proposition was made there to protect sla very in
Kansas, only three of their number voted for the pro
position.
(Which has the South the most cause to fear, an
open foe or a treacherous friend?'
There is some point in the argument, it must be
confessed. We all know the Yancey-B Breckenridge
men do a vast amonnt of talking, which constitutes
about the sum and substance of their actions. With
them practice squares but very little with precept.
If the Senate, in which they have a majority. would
not vote to protect slavery in Kansas, how can we
reasonably look for it to vote for protecting sla, cry in
any of the Territories? Yet the sBolters" claim

The WAY THEY TALK Up NoRTH.-Hon. John Petit,
once a United States Senator from Indiana, has writ
ten a letter in favor of Breckenridge and Lane. After
advocating the policy of running an electoral ticket
in Indiana. he says:
'It is said that this policy will elect Lincoln. Let
it be so, rather than that Douglas should succeed. l
believe that Lincoln is a more conservative and
sounder national man than Douglas, and that less
danger to the Union, aud to its parts. North and
South. is to be feared by the election of the former
than of the latter"
When we said the other day that the Northern
Breckenridge men preferred Lincoln to Douglas, the
Courier pronounced the statements calumny. Abuve
the reader will find the proof that it is true. There
is scarcely Breckenridge organ in the North which
has not openly declared its preference for Lincoln
over Douglas. The Mr.. Petit alluded to in the fore
gong paragraph is an enormous Deinoc,at.-N O..

The View York correspondent of the Baltimore Ia

N New York:
There is a strong under-cuIrent setting in in@fayor
of Bell and Everett. both in New York city and the
State. Thousands of old line nemocra IS are disguised
with the chicanery and corruption of the Albany Re-
question Of regularity" will give their support to
He'll and Everett, while any number of old line Wings,
who went into the Republican party, part y from
choice and partly from necessity, will now return to
their FIRST love, and give their influence in favor of
the Constitutional Union nominees. Depend upon it,
Bell and Everett will poll a much larger vote in New
York than is generally supposed.
