ss9r Senator Clingman, who has been one of Douglas warmest friends, will give in his adhesion to MT. Breckinridge as soon as the North Carolina Convention raufies his nomination.
 Both of the great leaders of the Vir- giinia Democracy, Wise and Hunter, are for Breckinridge, and their united inhu- ence will enable him to carry the Old Dominion by twenty thousand majority.

MR. EvERErT's RECORD. We invite lhe perusal of an article on our first page, headed, "Somethmg about .Hr. Euereit- .1ien of the South, Read :" That MT Ev- ereit was freesoiler in 1889, no one ac- quainled wilh his record will deny; and his recanlaton of such principles is, up to the present time unknown. In l957-S, Mr. Everett was an admirer of the infa- nous Sumner. Alter Sumner had made his abusive speech in the Senate against the venerable Butler, of South Carolina then absent from the Senate, and had been chaslsed by Brooks, Summers friends at Boston took up a collection for the benefit of the disgraced Senator. h this docu- ment they expressed " iiveiy gratitnde for his (Sumner's) dauntlcss courage in dcterce cf freedom '' The name of Ed ward Everett heads the list, thus endors-
 ing the vile assault of Simmer upon the South. Can Southern men vote for such d man for the Vice Presidency?

BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE. E.-Through- out every section of the Union the nomi- nations of BRECKENRIDGE and LANE are received with demonstrations of joy and satisfaction. This feeling, it was thought, would be confined to the South; but not so. In many of the Northern States ri- valry exists between the friends of Doug las and Breckinridge as to which party can get up the largest meetings. Thus far, but meagre support has been tender ed Douglas and Johnson, and before the election the idea of Douglas ticket in Arkansas will be among the things of the past. Squatter sovereignty has but few friends in our Crystal State, and right proud are we of it.

Breckinridge and Lane Accept the Nom
 ination-Their Speeches.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-A large body accompanied by band of music, proceed ed tonight to the residence of MT. Breck- inridge, and having serenaded hm, he, in response to repeated calls, appeared, say ing he felt deeply this manifestation of friendly regard, and accepted it as an ap- prova of the proceedings at Baltimore, by which the National Democratic Conven- ton presented his name and that of his gallant and honored friend, Gen. Lane, for President and Vice. President of the United States.
 Senator Davis followed in an eloquent strain, of the personal and public eharae- ter of Breckenridge and Lane. The De- mocracy was not the party which seeks fer spells, or rests itself upon the claims of men. When MT. Van Buren proved untrue, they cast him off as diseased member and when, at more recent pc. riod, another Democrat proved recreant, il remained for the party, faithful to its institutions, to separate him also from the body.
 He vindicated the Convention that nom- mated Breckinridge. Let spolsmen go where inclination leads them. The De mocracy honor MT. Buchanan for all he has done, and cast the complaints of office seekers to the winds. (Laughter.)
 He spoke of the Constitution, State Rights, justice and fraternity, as the prin- ciples under which Breckinrldge and Lane will be elected. (Applause.)
 MT. Hogan, of Kentucky, made some humorous remarks.
 The procession proceeded to Browns Hotel, where an immense crowd had pre- viously gathered. Mir. Lane, after the performance of an air, appeared and ten- dered his thanks to the assembly for this manifestation of their kindness.
 He was proud of the nominee of the Baltimore Convention he was a man whom he had long known on the battle field and in the councils of the nation. and he felt deeply honored in being placed on the same ticket with him. He Lane accepted the nomination of the National Democracy assembled at Baltimore. and, with them, believed in the equality and rights of the States under the Constitution. Yancey followed, saying that the Conven- ton was in a crisis, from which it is the duty of the Democracy to retrieve it. He spoke at considerable length, and was frequently applauded. The demonstration continued beyond midnight.

When the procession reached the Republican Head
quarters, near the Post Office Department, very
large crowd copgregsted in the locality, which was
addressed by MIR. Klgore and Mr.. Pangborne.
TIE speeches were brief and spirited, aod were
enthusiastically responded to By the people. All
such ideas as that Mr.. Breckenridge would be
elected, or that there would be disruption Of the
Union in the event Of the election Of Mr.. Lincoln,
were properly stigmatzed.
