IHE BRECKINRIDGE DEMOCRACY IN THE
North STILL TRUE.-The following resolution
has been unanimously adopted by the Breckin-
ridge State Committee, assembled at Albany, New
York:
Resolved, That this Committee representing
that portion of the Democratic party which sus-
tains the Maryland Institute platform, witness with
deep concern and apprehension the long predicted
result OF Northern sectional aggressions the
rights of the Southern States. We uniformly
opposed the policy which we foresaw must produce
dlsunlon SO we are equally prompt to raise our
voice against civil war. We deny that the pres
ent war is in any sense a struggle for the Union
and believe those who precptatcd the neither
care for or desire a restoration We advocate
proposition for an armistice. We are convinced
that the present administration has suspended the
Constitution. We are gratiied that the other
wing of the Democratic party has refused to coop
crate with the Republicans, and respectfully
tender the other wing the right hand offelowship,
and sacrafcing minor considerations, and buryng
past dissensions, this Committee will not call
separate Convention, but recommend those who
recognize this organization to unite with the other
wing in the election of delegates to the Syracuse
Convention.
According to the New York Herald, John c.
Brecnridge, Ex-Governor Morehead, James b
Clay and J. Young Brown advertised to ad-
dress grand assembloge Of the people near Har-
rodsburg, Kentucky, in favor Of the Southern
cause.

nett is out openly for exchange Of prisoners, in
Guiding prvateers, who, after all, (he says,) are
only enemies at sea, az the Confederate troops are
enemies on land. That the Confederates are en-
titled to be recognized belligerents, they have
themselves proved at Manassas, and the best way
is to canddy admit the fact, instead of standing
upon point Of etiquette which is impracticable"

THE NEws.--We publish, elsewhere, glorious
news from Missouri, for which we are indebted to
Mr.. Coz, the clever telegraph operator here 1t
will be seen that the State Rights men gained a
glorious victory over the Lincoln forses, and that
the inhuman Dutch butchTer Of women and chill
dren--Gep. Lyon--was killed Our only regret is
that he did not die the ignoble death of the gal
lows. OF that only was he worthy. The slaugh-
ter of the Lincoln Dutch at this battle was i'm
mense. 1t is glorious stride for Missouri to-
wards independence. Our loss is not yet known,
but was no doubt small, compared with that of
the enemy. Mccullough and Price both escaped.
Thank God for this Missouri Manassas II is glo-
rious No 6ght had taken place in Western vir-
ginia up to the 18th inst The report of fight

Fun AT CAMP BooNE.--Last Tuesday a day
Kentucky soldiers. The officers and men there, in
requtal, we suppose, of the complimentary visit
paid them by the ladies of our town and county,
some two weeks ago. gave Tuesday, grand
Ball, to which all the "beauty and chivalry, in,
and out of, camp, were generally invited. The
day came on, overcast with clouds, and chilly as
November, but these unfavorable onens did not
damp the ardor of those who had set their heart
going, since before 10 O'Clock nearly every avail
able conveyance in town had gone out freighted
with ladies and gentlemen, eager for the dance
Happily too, by the hour named, the sun had shone
out, at intervals and dispelled the rowning clouds
OF the early morning, leaving the sky just sufli-
cently overcast to make the atmosphere pleasant
and agreeable.
At the Camp all had been done that could be to
ENSURE the enjoyment of the expected visitors. \
large space had been cleared up and over this a
substantial plank floor had been laid and above
this was stretched roof of awning, decorated by
numerous Confederate flags. fine string band
had been procured, at Nashville, to make music for
the dance, and ample arrangements made for the
preservation of good order.
We cannot follow up the incidents of the day, in
detail, but must be content to say that the pleasure
laden hours sped away, if on winged feet, SO
oblivious were all present to everything but the
happiness they were enjoying. TIC dancing was
kept up all day. with only short intervals of rest
= and chat and one longer interval for an excellent
dinner, to which ample justice done, all around
Great praise is due to the gentleman who had in
charge the preparations for this happy reunion Of
fair women and brave men. One thing that graf
siied as greatly was the generous and gentemany
conduct Of the officers towards the prvates, and
the exertion made to ensure full participation by
the latter, in the pleasures of the day.
Altogether it was a most successful Ggdire and
will long be remembered as the browning associ.
alton connected with Camp Bnone.

will be furnished, at Nashville, with free passes
from that point to their ultimate destination.

As Coon AS our WoRD,-In accordance with
an announcement made few weeks since, we have
stricken the names Of all subscribers, who were in
arrears to any extent from OurSbooks, without re-
gard to age sex or condition. We also forwarded
to most Of them their accounts, at a cost Of FIVE
cents each to-us which, added to the loss of those
who never pay u.s. will cut our profits quite short
But the scarcity and high price of paper, renders
itab'oluiely necessary that we should send our
paper to none but cash subscribers-and it is best
for US, if we only send out edition Of one hun
bred copies, than, as heretofore to be furnishing
hundreds to persons who never pay for them and
who actually become insulted when asked for the
amount, and say ''stop my paper"
The general Suspension of business, in nearly
every department of the country, has Topped of
most of our resources, and we are mainly depend
ent on our subscription list to keep up business
therefore we des;gsTvne but paying patrons.
