You can yet do something to retrieve yourself in
the eyes Of patriotic Democracy. entrcat you,
as friend and well-wisher TO Immediately forward
your decnation TO your Executive Committed
You can well say that you are satisfied, from the
results Of the recent elections that the people of
the South--the Democracy of the South-do not
approve of the Baltimore secession and that what
ever may be your private views as to the rights Of
the South, you not in favorof maintaining them
against the wish Of the people You can urge that
It is useless for you to be put in political breach
destruction is inevitabe-to lead the Southern col
nmn when by far the largest portion Of it refuses to
follow your banner You can say that the too ar
dent hopes aud anticipations of your friends have
not been realized and that you are satisfied that by
remaining in the canvass you can subserve no use
ful ends and purposes.
You might go further, and in the spirit of your
patriotic letter TO Illinois in lS5s advise national
and conservative men in all ports of the country to
vote Tor Douglas, as the only means of preventing
the evil of Republican domination You know
that he holds the same principles exactly that he did
IN 1856, when you voted for him repeatedly in the
Cincinnati Convention for the Office of President of
the United States. You know that he promulgates
the same views that you did in the campaign when
you were elected Vce-President and that his senti-
ments were all but reflection of your own at Lex
ington, Tippecanoe, and Hamilton. You know that
II the Cincinnati Platform was good enough to
elect you and Mr.. Buchanan in $50. it is quite as
acceptable now, when Mr.. Douglas stands upon il
on know that there does not tread the soil of this
Union braver or an abler defender of all the Con-
stitutional rights of the South or one who has
made so many sacrifices and endured so much NAL
ediction in therdefense. If you preferred him to
Lincoln for the Senate in Illinois in 1858, how
much more should you prefer him to Lincoln for
the Presidency of the United States
Write such letter, and in the shout of Joy over
your return 10 reason your late transgressions will
be forgotten by the Democracy and there will be
once more prospect for the closing part of your
political career to be worthy of the bright auspices
under which it commenced. The star of your for
tunes, which now seems sunk in perpetual night,
might again shine refulgent in the political horizon

BcA. There's nothing in nature bitterer than the
contest between the BrscEipridge men and the
Douglas men in Alabama II is a. bitter as a hogs
head Of aloes boiled down to tualbler full. Yam
cey is raging like bloody tiger. His son had a
street fight the other day with Mr. Seibes the edi-
tor of the Montgomery Confederation, Douglas
organ, and fierce publications have been issued on
both sides. The old Yancey publishes long card
in reply to the Confederation, closing as folows:
Lou. Jour.
have thus convicted the editors Of the Confed-
Grafton of being wilful liars and utterly unworthy
of public or private confidence. 1t has not been
an agreeable duty. | have long borne their as
saulis in silence, but the yindictive and mendacious
manner in which have been treated in that paper
for years has been such that this last assault upon
my motives and character has been to my patience
like the last feather 20 the csssels back. That
conduct too has shown that they are not TO be
treated as gentlemen, but as blackguards.
My son has this day caned the senior editor Of
the Confederation, and now 1 brand him as con-
victed liar and sIanderer and turn him loose.
W. L. YANCEY.
Mr.. selbels publishes scari in reply, and we give
the closing paragraph
The assumption on Mr.. Yaneey's part, that am
not 10 be "treated gentlemen is the cheap
resort of a coward, who seeks refuge from the re-
sponsibility "usual among gent emen." II is an
advertisement of the fact that he won't fight II
called on by me. Under such circumstances, /
have no right to ask frtnd to put himself in q
position which might compromise him; and this,
Mr.. Yancey we'll knew when he cautiously penned
his card. His son had assaulted me on the street
for articles in this paper, acknowledged by Mr..
Yancey himself TO be insulting; he was in town on
the day of the publication of one Of them, and
permitted, if he did not instigate, his son to make
an attack which he had not the courage to do him
self. If the articles written by were insulting
Mr.. Y. had his remedy. hold myself ready at
all times, to respond to any demand he might make;
but he skulks from conflict and interposes his
son This man--convicted felon, the recipient of
Executive clemeney, who is more familiar with the
walls of Jail than with truth and honor--reven
ges an insult offered him. not by acts, but WORDS
and advertses himself as poltroon ard coward,
by publishing that ''not to be treated gen
tlemen.' He has saved the necessity Of publish
ing him as a coward, by advertising il himself in
advance.

Florida.

Hon. Geo. T. Ward, of Florida, who has been
claimed as Breckenridge convert, has written a
letter to the Florida Sentinel defining his position.
lie says'
II is no time for men even who look upon poll
tics with an eye to Office and emolumcnt to wran-
gle and TO jar this time next year the Federal
patronage may be in the hands OF the Abolitonists
without united action in the South. And this can
only be done 10y uniting the whole Southern vote
on the man, whoever it may be, who carries the
largest Southern vote in the Electoral College. II
l am asked who is the most probable man to do this,
answer Bell.

ANOTHER BELL AND EVERETT DEMooRAr.-The
Dover Journal contains letter from Mr.. Taylor a
life long Democrat announcing himself for BELL and
EVERETT He says:
Recent developments have compelled me to aban-
don that party 1.-THE Democratic, and in the future
to look elsewhere for the security of the country
II can not now be denied that the whole democratic
party is corrupt debased, and demorazed, and have
rendered themselves utterly powerless in a national
contest for the Presidency. This being admitted it
becomes the duty Of every American citizen to rail-
ly to the support of those truly national men, John
Bell and Edward Everett and thus at once put an
end,to the dangerous doctrines now adopted by both
the democratic aud republican parties. | am happy
TO be able TO inform you that am not the only man
in my neighborhood who has resolved shake of the
bands of corrupt democracy and in the future fight
for our country and its institutions; but there are
scores of Others, and when you receive the news
from the November election you will have no furth-
er fears for the country, for the patriots Of the land
will save il. J. NJ. TAYLOR

The stars are waking in the pale blue sky,
The silent moon through the trees is peeping,
The god of day hath shut his radiant eye,
And the jeweled night all watch him sleeping
A veil, orange-hued, hangs oer the West,
And the clouds are edged with asilvery band
And Natures brow is by the South wind pressed
And her glowing cheeks by his wings are famed
Night is eoming-her dark steeds are flying
From the deep wales, and the glens and the riil
Her orange hues in the West are dying,
And thus hath passed sweet 'eveningon the hill.

Union! Union!! Union!!!

The action of the Breckenridge Committee, at
Saratoga, yesterday infer from the the tenor of
our special dispatches is such to encourage the
belief that they too, viii drop their distinct organi
zation and in due time join with the rest Of us in
union for the sake of the Union. There are too
many patriotic men in that organization, we are
happy to be persuaded, to be induced to help Lin
coin by running Breckenridge in this State. The
distinctions between Donglas,dcmocrats and Breck-
inridge democrats are not of sufficient weight or
importance to be thrown into the scale in favor of
the common enemy, and hence, we rejoice in the
signs that before long there will be but electo-
raj ticket in the field against the SectionaHgher
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Conhict-Party.
There is something sublime in this mutual suTen-
der, on all hands, and of party predictions and
party attachments for the sake Of ourcommOn coun-
try. II shows that in great emergencies, love of
country, with the masses of the American people,
rises superior TO every other consideration and that
when the Republic is in danger there will always
be enough of its sons at the worst Of times to rally
to its rescue. For, it is truth that this Union
movement, after all, ia but an organized expression
of the popular voice. and not-as some of the sec
tional journals msrepresent-.he device or contri-
vance of this set Of men, or that,

Evening on the Hill.

BELLA, my love, come sit by my side
And look with me at the golden sky
At the landscape spreading far and wide,
At howery vale and at mountain high.
And dearest, let thy sweetest smiles now play,
Let not a sigh from thy heart be drawn,
AS we turn to sweet departing day,
To watch its glories on the hill and lawn.
The shadows are stretching far o'cr the lea,
Mantling the flowers with hue of night;
But the hills are capped like a wavy sea,
With rosy blush of the evenings light.
Beyond the green swarG runs the ripplng stream,
Where the wild deer drink in the twilight hour,
Its bosom CHASING the wood serene,
Each bark and shrub and rock and flower
In purple hues, and in graceful reathes
The curling smoke floats Der yon mountain cot,
And zehpyrs linger in the leafy trees,
And lawn and dell, in that sequestered spot
The cattle sleep upon the verdant hill
And we hear the rustics gladsome strain;
And the hunters horn sounds loud and shrill
As he returns Ger the grassy plain.
From the bright green knoll the violets peep
And thesun-hower bends with its golden crown,
The FREELY wakes from his day-long sleep,
To flash his light in his airy round.
The owl is hooting from the hollow tree,
And he snaps his bill and Hutters his wings =
He welcomes night with his minstrelsy,
For she is his love, and to her he sings.
The timid hare moves slyly to his rest
Creeping along through the bush to his bower !
And the honey bee flies homeward to his nest,
Laden with the sweets of bud and flower
The sheep bell tinkles, and the cock is heard
Sounding his notes for declinh day,
And the cooling dove aud the evening bird
Send up to heaven their parting lay.
Ali this is evening; see the twilights geam
Paint the still lawn with its richest gold
And the giant oaks by the babblipg stream
Bathe their tops in its charms untold.
All this is evening" shadowy veil
Of blue and purple stretches far away;
And sdown the valley looks dim and pale,
Where hooded night first meets the dying day.

Wig says:
In his speaeh evening before last, Governor Foote
announced upon authority that Gov. Letcher had
declared in favor Of Douglas, and would cordially
support his electionl This announcement, was
greeted by the friends Of Douglas with hearty and
prolonged applause. II is an announcement, too,
which will carry terror and dismay into the ranks
Of the Yancey- y-Breckenridgers throughout the State
and throughout the Onion. The fact that Gov.
Letcher is in favor Of Douglas will be worth, per-
haps, ten or fifteen thousand votes to the "Liuls
Giant here in Virginia.
