BrCckinfluge the lhliu Adh III She ASate'


Nearly all the elections so far in the differ
emit states have gone against the Breckin-
ridge ticket. The results have either been
favorable to Douglas and johnson or Bell
and Everett Even in North Carolina, the
only State where Breckenridge has had any
success, the vote Of his party, SO far as heard
from, is greatly behind the usual strength Of
the Democratic party in that State, showing
that the Democracy will not sustain Disun-
ion candidate.


1t is natural that the masses Of the South
ern people should thus repudiate Breckin-
ridge aud lis own State rebuke him. The
flag of disuuion was never yet successful in
the south. 1t went down with the lanceys
and the Rhetts in 1881, and it will 60 down
again with the Yauceys and the Rhetts and
the Breckiuridges in 1860.


The South cannot help but know that the
dissolution Of The Union would do them no
manner of good. They would have free
line on their north, over which slaves would
continually escape, without any fugitive
slave law or Federal Court to restore them.
Slave property would be valueless upon the
border and the spirit of insubordination
still spread into the heart Of the Southern
Confederacy.

the platform Of intervention, and is not
as is pretended by demagogucs, the platform
of squatter sovereignty 1t leaves the ques
ton Of Territorial Sovereignty open. to b
decided by the Supreme Court and pledge
the Democracy to abide by the judgments o
that tribunal 1t forces no Douglas construc
tion upon the Southern Democracy at all
but leaves the broad ground Of judicial de
csion for all Democrats, whatever may b
Territorial Legislature, to stand upon. Wha
could be fairer? The Southern masses sc
that is fair and they are willing to trus
their rights in the hands of party whcl
stands pledged to carry out all the decision
of the Federal Judiciary upon all question
which affect the rights of property in tn
southern States.


1t is in vain to tell the intelligent voter
of Kentucky, Alabama and the rest tha
/ their rights are disregarded in the Union
when they know that they have the Suprem,
/ Court Of the United States upon their sid,
and party all powerful in the North, with
their aid, to carry out the DEGREES of that
Court and to impress them upon the legsla-
tion of the country,


Having such party in the North, able
! and willing to aid them, able and willing tc
sustain them, they cannot but see how fool
ish it would be for them to leave that party
to so down before the storm of Abolition OF
Republican fanaticism. BY a steadtast CO.
operation with the Northern Democracy
they are secure; without it, the doom of the
Democracy and of the South together i:
sealed They cannot, they will not thus
suiciIally sacrifice all their interests and their
security.


BY the union Of the Democracy they have
everything to gain BY a division every
thing to lose. And they know it. Therefore
there isn't the shadow Of q reason to suppose
that the great majority of the Southern peo.
pie will not come up heartily to the support
of the regular nominees of the Democratic
Party
