LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. l2.--The rumor that
Vice President Breckenridge ia going South
to make Union speeches or interfere in any
manner whatever with the troubles of the
Secession States, is without foundation. A
meeting of the Bell and Douglas parties
was held here to-day. Resolutions were
passed denouncing in strong terms any at
tempt at secession or disunion by any State
Speeches were made by Leslie Combs and
others.
QUINCY, ILL, Nov. 10--A fraud has been
discovered in the election returns Of Melon
ough county. The vote ofPrarie City was
l6l, and SO returned to the Clerks office at
Macomb Soon after the was discovered to
ha re been altered to 9, and as it did not agree
with the tally sheet the entire vote of the
precinct was rejected by the judges, which
gives the Democrats the county. The Re
publicans are very indignant and will pros-
ecute it to the end order to md out, if posi-
BILE, the parties guilty Of the outrage.
CHICAGO, Nov. l2.-Considerable excite
ment was caused here to- night by the arrest
by the U. s. Marshal of negro woman, Eliza
who escaped from Nebraska City, N. T., a
short time since. The woman is claimed as
q slave by Stephen 7. Knuckles, of Nebraska.
The Marshal in taking the woman, was
stopped in the street by an excited crowd Of
negroes and was compelled to give the wo.
man to the City Police, who lodged her in
the armory for safe keeping. An effort will
be made in the morning to take her to SPRING
field for examination before Commissioner
Conan. The streets and vicinity of che ar
mory is crowded with negroes and some
white persons in high state Of excitement,
who declare their intention to prevent the
woman from being taken away from the city.
NApIERvILLE, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Although the
Burch divorce case was set for the first day
of the term which commences to-day, moth
ing was done. The court simply organized
its Grand Jury and read the docket fcases.
Tomorrow il is understood that the counsel
for Burch will move for continuance, on
the ground of desire to show up the char
acter of certain witnesses whose deposition
against chastity of Mr.. Burch has been ta-
ken in st. Louis. The friends Of Burch say
they will be able to demonstrate thu exists
ence Of the greatest and most attrocious con-
spiracy against him that is passibie to con.
ceive Of.

ing at present clited by James w. Shaahan
ESQ, Senator Douglas particular fiiend, no
doubt moro nearly sp,aas D)uylas senti-

in its i,su, of last Wednesday m,rany, as
follows:
"Shou,d Nc. Lincoln be elected, great rs
'the calamity will prove TO be, still we think
cit is the duty of every Democrat to give to

The President, in the event Of the election
of Lincoln, intends to deprive the latter of
all credit for devotion to the Union by taking
strong Union ground in his message. Both
Cobb and Thompson are greatly alarmed at
the oyster,like silence Of the 0. p. F., and
may resign before two weeks have rolled by.

-s.H JUTIcE WAYNE INDIGNANT. 10 'a
Justice Wayne Of the Supreme Court OF
the United States, and citizen of Georgia,
who reached Washington last evening, after
a brief visit to New York, is exceedingly in

Justice Wayne was an original Jackson man

Political Intelligence.

The determination has been announced by
southern senators to keep Kansas out of the
Union if possible until after the presidential
election. The addition of Kansas would make
eighteen states necessary to choose, and to
that extent weaken their prospect Of control
ling the result in case it should devolve upon
congress. Such scheme would undoubtedly
defeat itself by awakening determination on
the part of the people to settle the election for
themselves.
The New York Evening Post has the fol.
lowing good story, told of Thaddeus Stevens
OF Pennsylvania in connection with the tenth
ballot for Douglas at Charleston. The news

From the New York Herald.

The position of the House of Representa-.
tiyes on the presidential question has not as
yet been correctly stated, although numerous
attempts have been made by journals through
out the country to do so, We give below the
divisions Of parties in the representations of
each state as they now stand, and as they will
change should be made by the admission of
Kansas; but even allowing the addition of
that state to the republican strength, it would
not change the aspect of affairs, because, al
though it would give one more vote to that
party, it would at the same time add one to
the number required to form a majority, and
the republicans would still lack two of the re-
quisite number to elect a president if the choice
should go to the house.

Democratic Perhdy.

Mr.. Governeur Morris, the American minis
ter at Paris, during the early stages of the
French Revolution, testified against French.
men, that There is one fatal principle
which pervades all ranks. 1t is perfect indiff-
erence to the violation of engagements. In
constancy is so mingled i'll the blood and es
sence of this people, that, when man of high
rank and Importance laughs to-day at what he
asserted yesterday, it is considered the natural
order Of things" Similar illustration of per-
hdy was shown in the Charleston convention
where the slavery propagandists demanded
that one of the essential doctrines of the party
should be abandoned, and the opposite doctrine
OF slave code for the territories should be
adopted in its place. The material difference
in the two cases is that while French faithless-
ness was the fruit of habitual and thoughtless
Inconsistency, the perfdy of the democracy Of
the slave states is the result of mature and
consistent conviction of the right of slavery as
against and in defiance of all other rights. The
other monstrous and contradictory doctrines
which they have compelled the party to adopt
for special purposes, and to abandon, whenever
it appeared that, by sort of divine justice,
they Injured as much to the interests of free
dom as of slavery, were the result of the
same cause. The unaccustomed courage
which was ELECTED against this latest humilia-
ton has only postponed the recognition of the
principle, probably in modified form, to the
June convention at Baltimore. New delegates
from the same states will come to the conven.
ton, impressed with the popular idea of their
section, that the constitution protects slavery
in the territories. Northern democrats, who
in the present condition of parties and of pub.
lie affairs, have no other legitimate mission
than to stand as bulwarks and defenses for the
institutions of their troublesome southern al
lies, have the alternative of yielding gracefully
and at once, or of becoming sectional faction,
discarded by the mass of the slave states, and
with such platform and such candidate as
they would be likely to adopt powerless
against the awakened moral sentiment of the
free states. Which will they choose?
