Dr. Robert j. Breckenridge made 81 speech in
Lexington Ky on the 18th ult 1t wa, County

of assembling in large numbers.
Early in the afternoon Mr. Charles Edgertgu

-cttel that after he and DR. Breckenridge arrived in
the city they learned that another meeting had
been called 10 take place in the Court House at the
same hour with this meeting, which was to be ad-
dressed by ex-governor Robinson and Hon John
b. Huston. Upon consultation between Dr. BrecE-
inrdge and his friends. it was agreed that the
speaker should visit GOV. Robinson, and invite him
and hi friend 20 the hall for the purpose of having
free debate on the political questions dividing
them. They proposed TO divide the time equally
between the speakers, and consider the points It
Issue frankly and honorably. Mr. Robinson
pressed regret that the meeting, were appointed for
the same hour, but he could not take the resPon,-
bility of accepting the proposition without consult
ing his friends. This he did, and then responded
that they would not listen TO such an arrangement,
giving q, reason that there might be three or -four
to speak 40 their meeting; but proposition to al
low them all to speak did not remove the objection.
Mr. Elgerton made q strong speech in regard n
the Chicago nominations and the war. He iustihei

A. an editor and rs a man. we oppose the election
Of Mcclellan, and advocate the election of Lincoln.
We do not thu. act rs a mad partzOn but as pa
trict and We are prepared to give the reasons which

!. II We were to vote for Mcclellan We would be
giving vote for the rebellion, at Il moment when
the rebellion is ON its last legs.
3 If we were TO vote for Mcclellan, we would be
voting for disunion, at the very time that ouramic
are about to restore the Union,
3, If We were to vote for Mcclellan, wewould be
voting to recognize the independence of the South
cm Conicdcracy, and the payment Of their large
war debt hy IT tax upon the loyal millions.
4, If we were to vote for Mcclellan, we would be
voting for the repoiiotioa of our own National
debt and paper currency destroying property and
bushes, in every branch.
>. If We were to vote Tor Mcclellan We would be
voting for perpetual war at homc--Ior national deg
radatiou--lor the overthrow Of ciyilization--and
for the establishment of the Kingdom of Satan on
earth. with license for him to reign % thousand
years.
To avoid all these evils, and to produce do, ol-
po,itc results, We 20 for Lincoln and johnson We
90 for Union and peace for national honor and COM
mercd and agricultural prosperity. We 60 lortha
