N9- Intelligence of the most reliable character cor
roborates the opinion already pretty general in this
quarter, that neither Douglas nor Breckinridge can
possibly carry Mississippi. The Democracy had but
seven or eight thousand votes to spare before, and
the determination of the two wings to crush each
other is unhinching and Interchangeable. A resident
OF Mississippi, well acquainted with the state of par
ties, states that in some districts there is scarcely A.
breckenridge man, while in others there is scarcely s
Douglas man; and parties of both parts" affirm. If
they do not swear, that Bell Is their second choice at

JusT N MANLY.-The brunswick (Geor-
sla) Advocate-a Democratic paper-thus
speaks of Messrs. Bell and Everett
Of the Constitutional Union'' party and
their candidates, Messrs. Bell and Everett.
We have nothing derogatory to say We be-
lleve the intentions of the party are good
their motives patriotic, and their candidates
good men and true. Tho South, in cur Judge
ment, has nothing to fear either from the
constitutional Un'on' party or their candi-
dates, as is clearly evinced BY the published
proceedings Of immense gatherings of the
party in the Northern States, and and the
known patriotic conservatism of Messrs. Bell
and Everett. However, with the lights be-
tore US, We shall not support those gentlemen;
but justice and candor requires that we should
say what we have said respecting them. He
that finds fault with the friends Of the South
for the purpose of securing a mere party tri-
umph, is no patriot nor friend to the South.
