The Foreign Voter.

In the city of Richmond there is publish
ed in the German language, a newspaper
called the Anzenger. This paper is under
the control Of Mr.. b. Hassel and at first
exhibited Douglas proclivities. On the 18th
Of September it hoisted the Breckenridge
flag, with the foll' wing announcement OF
the motives which impelled the editor to
snch a course. We commend the article to
the consideration of our foreign felIow.cit.
liens:
LET us look at the present condition of
parties in our State. We find the so called
Union men who have written "Bel and Ev
erett" on their ticket-very good people
perhaps, but they can never be supported by
naturalized citigens since they have been
nominated by party which formerly bore
the name Of Know N Nothing, and which now
finds it more prudent under present circum
stances to substitute its old and much des-
pissed name with one more pleasing and bet,
ter sounding. Closely considered however,
we find this party composed of the same
people who deprived us Of equal political
rights in 1854 and '55, and who attempted
to dictate to us how we should think and
act. With them We can have nothing to
do.
A second party, which rallies under the
banner Of Douglas and Johnson, would find
favor with us if we lived in a Northern
State. But here in Virginia Douglas pros.
pect for carrying the State is SO very small
that it is impossible for us to declare for
him. Should we do so, it would only be
working indirectly for the Know Nothing
ticket-since every vote cast for Douglas is
a loss to the National Democracy Of the
State, and q gain to the Know Nothing', to
whom such stubborn policy might insure
an easy victory.
The third party in our State, is that which
has chosen breckenridge and Lane for their
standard bearers, and to this we give our
support. In its ranks we find Henry A.
Wise, the defender of our rights and liber-
ties, the declared enemy Of Know Nothings,
and the friend Of naturalized citizens; in its
ranks we find all the foremost Democrats
of our State, who have hitherto been faithful
to the rights of naturalized citizens. Graft
tude itself requires that we should attach
ourselves to this and no other party, for a
tried friend is doubly to be cherished, and
ingratitude is a stranger to the german
character.

OCTOBER.

The woods Of October, how brightly they gleam
When sunlight 10 streaming their branches be-
tween;
The crimson and orange, the green and the gold,
All forming picture most fair to behold!
love there to wander at twilight alone,
And list to the wild winds low, musical moan,
AS it singeth dirge for the Summer departed,
A requiem low for the desoate hearted.
The skies of October, how soft is their hue
When sunligh. and rose light are blended with
blue,
And fair aeecy clouds float in quiet away,
Like island of peace in some beautiful bay!
And when night draweth round her dark mantle
Of gloom,
The fair shining stars the deep darkness ilume,
And INNER as lights in those ma nsions of love
Which Christ has prepared tor bis children above.
o, dear native month! best beloved of the year!
The children of Summer may call thee severe,
And weep that thy rude winds should scatter
the flowers
Which blossom so brightly in Summers gay
bowers;
But to me with instruction thou ever apt rife,
For thou brngest to mind the October of life,
And youths Summer, know, is not always to
stay;
Not always we bask in the sunlight of May.

Arkansas Election.

Some time during the month of August
last a State election was held in Arkansas,
and forthwith the Opposition press of this
State flooded their columns with figures to
prove that the result was Bell Douglas tri-
umph. Those who were posted on the po.
litical affairs of Arkansas denied the infer
ence but had no figures with which to refute
the claim of our enemies. Here are the
official returns, with the political procliyities
of the various candidates. We take them
from the Little Rock True Democrat of Sep
tember lst:
FOR GOVERNOR.
Judge H. M. Rector (Breckcnridgc). 49,. .3O,557
Col. R. H. johnson (Breckenridge). ..... 28.6lQ
Majority for Rector. 1,s39
FOR CONGRESSMAN FIRST DISTRICT
Col. Thomas G. Hirdman (Breckenridge). .20.05l
Jesse N. Cypert (Bellite). .............. .9.6O9

Majority for Hindman. 0,347
FOR CoNGREssMEN-sEcoND DISTRICT.
Edward W. CAN'T (Breckenridge). ....... ,569
DR.. Charles B. Mitchell (Breckenrdge). .13,0O7
James A. Jones (Bellte) )................,..8 89l
Scattering (probably the Douglas yote). .....l6
Majority for CAN'T. 1855
From this it appears that in the Sta,e of
Arkansas the combined opposition of Bell
and Douglas is not even a respectable ele.
rnent of strength. And so it will prove in
all the South. The same wordy warfare and
magnificent calculations were made for Fill
more in SO as now for Bell and Douglas,
and the net proceeds were eight electoral
votes. Sac. Democrat.

REASONS FOG 0rrosING BKEckISKIDGE.-
The Memphis .4ppca1, the old and titne-hon-
ored organ Of the Democracy of West Ten
nessee. and still claiming to speak for lis
party, gives the following sufficient reasons
To- opposing Breckenridge:
We think that Mr. Breckenridge has lent
the use of his name and universal popularity
to bad men for bad purposes; hence our oppo-
sltion to him. His nomination was irregular.
and his acceptance of it proved one OF two
~things-either that he was a supple i%nsfra-
ment in the hands Of men who carried per
sonal hate ard personal ani!noslty to an ex-
| tremc uniustitiabie b. any influence of party
or patriotic consideration.
In our judgment, Dir. Breckenridge acted
most unwlsely in accepting the nomination
ct the descriptions, and he continues to act
unwisely in not throwing it up

AccEssIoSs TO BREcn1HRfpGE-Savs the
Savannah Republican: We occasionally hear
of persons avowing themselves ii favor oil
the election of Mr. Breck5nriige. and always
like to give fim the benefit Of publishing such
accession. Tie last man who has come out
in his favor is Joshua Gidliugs, OF ONO. tue
notorious 4 bobtl1nist. who SAYS: AS Ie-
CARDS the two Democratic candidates, | pre-
Ter BreckinIidee, because he is not as much
committed to slavery as Douglas is. Doug
las is a siateholder, and Breckenridge is moi,
therefore. | prefer him.
Mr.. Gidding's opinion was. probably, in
luenced by the expression OF Mr.. Breckin-
ridge at Iippecanoe, when he said " I dpt
connected wtd no party that has for its object tie
the crtensi0n Of snlrery.

I Black Republicans in virginia,

Considerable excitement has been produced in
Virginia BY the fact that about sixty men, in the
village Of Ocoquan Prince William county, on the
4th of July last erected Lincoln and Hamlin pole,
with flag attached. Captain George Potter, "a
captain Of militia) wrote to the Adjutant General,
stating that the sixty men were armed with mus
kets belonging to the State which they procured in
the village, the said muskets having formerly been
furnished to volunteer company there, which COM
pany has been disbanded. The speakers on the
occasion Of raising the pole, were one John Under
wood and one Vim. Athey. Capt Potter intimates
that he would like to lead attacking party to de-
molish the pole and flag. The Adjutant General
replies that if the people there tolerate such conduct
the Governor has official control over it; but he
directs the to be collected and returned to the
armory at Richmond.
VIM. Athey also writes to the Governor for pro-
lection stating that mob of 800 was threatening
assault. The Governor, through the Adjutant Cen
cral thus nstructs the attorney of the Common
wealth:
ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE,
July "a, 1860
1.-THE Governor desires that you, as the Attorney
OF Lne commonwealth lOr SalQ county, ascertain
promptly whether the laws can be maintained and
the public peace preserved by the civil authority
and if not then he directs that you. as Brigadier
General, call out military force sufficient for that
purpose. Information has been received here that,
on the 4th inst, there celebration by party
of black Republicans at Ocoquan, who had taken
possession of a number of public arms and used
them at their celebration. Orders were issued yes
terday to Col. Brawner, of the Thrty-sixth Regi
ment, in reference to these arms, which you will
cause to be fully executed, if the facts have been
correctly reported.
By command:
