Mullen addressed the De mocracy of this place on the evening of the 1st inst., on the political issues of the day. lie, line a irue Democrat, first devoted his attention to Lincoln and . his Abolition hordes, proving him, conclusively, to be us much an Abolitionist as father Giddings. He charged Judge Douglas with being the author r tVm nxistintr dismemberment of the once invincible Democracy, which is not to be beaten, except by a coalition of a portion of its members witli tue enemy. He proved as false, the charge so oft reiterated by the followers of " my great principle," that John C. Tliiirrk-rNitiDCE is a Conrressional interventionist and a former advocate of squatterisin. He showed that we stand on the same plattorm ot non-intervention and popular sovereignty, upon which we have stood ever since the Champion of -Whiggery acknowledged l,uns..lf indebted to the veteran Cass for its use as a plank in the Whig platform. He defied any man to name a single partv issue upon which Judge Douglas . 1 ITT i 1 voted with his Democratic compeers in tne united States Senate, since 1857. John C.Walker, Judge Rlak-n. and other advocates of the Utile squatter, were present, yet none were so bold as to assert that he had. BiiECKiNRiPGE men are few in this place, yet the Doctor's keen sallies of wit, cutting wjuattoi-iein to the quick, elicited frequent bursts of applause. He appealed to the foreign-born citizen to beware lest the ambitious Douglas should lead them into the meshes of Know Nothingism, where they can expect neither quarter nor suffrage. From what I have learned from the conversations of the honest yeomanry, many of whom are supporters of Douglas, the Doctor seems to have aroused the " foher. second thouqht" which, in so manv instances has won support to those gallant standard-bearers of Demncraev. Bkkcktnrihue and Lane. Verily, the cloud arc breaking up, and the sun of National Democracy is beginning to stnne through and dispel the noisome mists of Dougtas-Itrpubliranism. Yours, &c, C. A. R. l-'rom another Correspondent-" Michigan City, August 4, 1860. Mr. Editor: 'Tis my pleasing duty to inform you that on the ctcning of the 2d inst, the National Democrats of tliis place held a meeting, and were addressed by Dr. B. F. Mullen in his usual happy and forcible style. Those who know the Doctor know well that foes without and traitors within the Democratic camp received especial attention at his hands, lis speech was a masterly effort, and told with marked effect upon the audience, which they manifested by repeated demonstrations of applause. The Douglas men admit that they were not prepared to find so many Breck. and Lane men in this city. The adopted citizens were taken aback when the speaker charged upon the Douglas leaders their affiliating and

taking to their arms the Know Nothings of New York, and then refusing to form a united ticket with the National Democrats of Indiana men who never bolted

or deserted their party. Two talented and able cham pions of Douglasism were present, but though it was announced that one ot them would speak, they did not think it advisable to respond or controvert a single statement made by the Doctor when charging Douglas with treason to the time-honored principles of the Democratic party. There is one point wherein we differ with the Doctor. He advises the "Nationals' to smmort the State and county tickets; whilst they believe the better policy to be since the Douglasites reject the "olive branch" tendered them by tlie "Jationals" to dissolve all connection with the Soft Shulhvand maintain the true national organization intact. Mark me, you will hear a good account from tho county of Laporte. Respectfully, OLD LINER. From Jefferson County. Dupont, August 31, I860. Mr Editor: I see in each number of your excellent paper, communications from various counties in the State. Old Jefferson demands that she should have a voice in connexion with her sister counties in support of the only national and true principles of the Democracy. We have many Democrats in our county who have thrown off the cloak of squatter sovereignty, and have enlisted under the noble standard of Breckinridge and Lane, who have girded on the armor, and have entered the field to fight for the Constitution, the Union, and tho Equality of the States. As the people become informed of the true state of affairs, they come flocking back to the old standard. The small spark has become a spreading flame, and continues to rage. A few papers like the Old Line Guard and a few more honest statesmen like J. D. Bright, would bring old Jeff, all right yet. I also see that tome of your correspondents are in favor of rejecting the Douglas State ticket. The reason for so doinjr is, that after the election it will be claimed as A Douglas Triumph." Mr. Editor, Ij think we should look at this in another light ; it the Old Liners do not support the State ticket, the State will be consigned to the mercy of a Black Republican Administration. The result can easily be conjectured. Hence, I think we had better support tho present State ticket, and if they claim it as a Douglas victory, we can prove, to the world in November that it is a false claim, and, also, that the strength of the De mocracy in Indiana lies in the Old Line National De. mociacy. These are my views, and I think they are those of the majority of our party. By no means, however, do I approve of the manner in which our honorable and equitable proposition was rejected by the Douglas committee, nor do I believe, tho majority of the Douglas party sanction the action of that committee. I have heard: several express their opinion on the subject, and I think I have heard of but two or three approve of tho action. The question now is because their leaders have done wrong, shall we go and do likewise ? Having all confidence in the True Democracy, I will abide their decision. Your valuable paper, the Old Line Guard, is doing a good work in this county. May it spread and be glorified, until all shall have a knowledge of the truth, as expounded by your paper, and the patriotic standard-bearers, Breckinridge and Lane. Yours respectfully a supporter ot the " Constitution, Union, and the Equality of the States." Prom Wabash County. La Gko, August 23, 1860. Mr. Editor: Yesterday John R. Coffroth, Esq., spoke in the village of North Manchester a pleasant little town situated on that beautiful stream, Eel River. Notwithstanding the very sliort notice given, the audience was large ; and, indeed, the house, doors, windows, and all out-doors, were filled with people who came to hear the young and eloquent orator, who, in point of ability, eloquence and sarcasm, resembles in no small degree his prototype John Randolph. Mr. Coffroth (as is usual) had been forbidden a hearing, but I never witnessed a more attentive audience ; they were all carried away by a most masterly argument. It may bo worthy of note to state that in this pleasant place resides Joseph Marshall, one of the State electors on the Rump wing of the Black Republican party. An opportunity was offered for reply, but no one accepted not even the left-handed elector. Wherever Coffroth goes, he opens the campaign in solid earnest, lie administers a just rebuke to all of this Billingsgate vituperation, so often indulged in by Douglas orators and editors, and is a terror to all bolters. , .".' " Wabash county will do her duty; rely upon that. " BARNETTE." From Putnam County. Putnam County, September 3, 1860. Editor Guard: The cause of Breckinridge and Lane in this, the Seventh Congressional District, moves on. In every county in it we are gaining strength continually. Hon. James A. Scott, our candidate for Congress, is making an able and vigorous canvass. Wherever he has spoken, the truth has won its hundreds. It now begins to be known th.it the Douglas Republicans practiced a blistering fraud on the Democratic party at Charleston and Baltimore in their attempt to disrupt the party by the nomination j of Stephen A. Douglas, and that so far from being a ! "regular nominee," he is, in truth, a minority candi- j date, standing on a minority platform, and holding a , scat in the United States Senate by a minority of the ; popular vote of the State of Illinois, notwithstanding1 his shameless desertion of the Democratic party to obtain even that. His race is run his journey ended, in politics. Henceforth, the history of Martin Vau Buren, and his friends, will be the history of Douglas and his adherents. Professions that are now being put forth by scheming political gamblers, that they are for the Breckinridgk and Lane platform, but vote for Douglas for policy's sake, is all gammon. Men need not expect, by such a shallow pretext, to keep on both sides? I and play the game of "Heads I win, tails you lose.' No mau is for Breckinridge and Lane except; those who vote for them. The "old line guard" in this: District will accept no such device. The Doug-1 las Republicans, preferring that the Lincoln Republicans, shall carry the State, rather tlian these united with the Democrats to prevent it, have forfeited all claims to our votes for any office. Why should any friend of Brecrinridge and Lane vote for men who leek the ruin of the Democratic party ? Every Tote cast for any Douglas candidate for any office, will be claimed as a vote for Douglas, and used to the prejudice of our gallant standard bearers both here and elsewhere, as soon as the State election is over. Mr. Scott has now spoken in the counties of Parke Putnam, Owen, Clay, Greene, and Sullivan, and will

complete the canvass before the election. He is a good reasoner, and a forcible and eloquent speaker. Well may Voorhees dread to meet liim in debate, but he must meet the consequences of his very recent conversion to the squatter dodger of Illinois on tho day of election. No dodging can save him from that. A Voter.

Political Items, Florida. An intelligent planter and an old-line Whig, residing in the most populous portion of East Florida, writing to the Savanah News, says: "The politics of our county, (Alachua,) lam iappy to say, is all right that is to say, it is for Breckinridge and Lane, almost to a man. I do not know of but very few Bell and Everett men in the county, and not one for Douglas and Johnson. No, not one." Alabama. The Cahawba (Alabama) Slaveholder alludes to a Bell meeting in that city, where Colonel llarlsou spoke. It adds. "He was occasionally applauded, but at no time so much as he was by the'outsiders when he said he had five or six grown sons, and every one of them was for 'Breckinridge! The Colonel is the fatherof the talented and eloquent Jonathan, who is a terror to the Bell and Douglas fraternity about Selma. The following is an extract from a letter from a prominent public man in Alabama, dated August 23, 1860: , "I have just returned from my canvass as elector for Breckinridge and Lane. In five counties I could not find a single Douglas man. Bell will get a few votes here and there. Our ticket will carry Alabama by 20,000 majority." Mississippi. The Oxford (Mississippi) Mercury mentions a great speech for Breckinridge and Lane by Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar. The Mercury sketches a few of his remarks as follows: "He thought the duty of the South in this campaign was to unite upon Breckinridge and Lane, and make one desperate and concentrated struggle to save the. Constitution and the Union by electing them. They were in every way worthy of our confidence, and "upon all the questions of Southern rights, above suspicion. Breckinridge was in everyway a great man. He was the finest looking man the speaker ever saw; no one could see him or hear him talk without feeling that God had placed the impress of greatness upon his brow. '"We could write three or four columns about this speech, but deem it unnecessary. It was the greatest political speech we ever heard, and we have heard some of the greatest men of the present day." . Tin' M ivury abo says: "The nolitical cauldron is set tins seethinjr hot in Mississippi. In every direction we hear the roar of the political cannons, i he brightest and uoiuest political orators and the keenest intellects are on the stump and in the papers. The Breckinridge and Lane Democracy have more good orators and papers than any of the other parties', but in many instances our champions meet foemen worthy of their steel. This will be the hardest fought battle we have had in the State for many years; but our party has the prestige of victory and the consciousness of superior numbers." The Democracy of North Mississippi and the adjoining counties of West Tennessee, says the Nashville Union, had a grand mass meeting at Corinth on the 16th instant. The Memphis Avalanche estimates the number of persons present at from seven to nine thousand. The Hftssissippiun says of this meeting: "This was a glorious affair. We can personally attest the accuracy of the description which the Memphis Avalanche gives of it. It is no fancy sketch. Seven thousand is a moderate estimate of the number of persons present. The crowd was massive, immense. 'Every valley sent forth its stream, every mountain its rill and "a miglity avalanche of people was there.' The enthusiasm of the Democracy was unbounded. The warmth of their devotion to the undying principles of the Democratic party was only equaled by their confidence of success in November. There were representatives in attendance from the adjoining counties of Tennessee, from Arkansas, from Alabama, from the counties of our own State, adjoining Tishomingo, and from middle Mississippi. All were animated by the same patriotic spirit." Kentucky. James Warren, Esq., of Scott county, Ky., publishes a letter announcing his support of Breckinridge and Lane. Mr. Warren says: "In looking, therefore, at the present position, I see in the Democratic party headed by John C. Breckinridge a platform upon which all can stand, especially those who endorsed the doctrines of Joshua F. Bell, last vear. For myself, I see no disunion in them, but as I understand them, they look, in the language of the great leader, 'to the Constitution, and the equality of the States.' "Believing as I do, I shall support the ticket of Breckinridge and Lane, and I advise all my political friends to do likewise." The Mountain Democrat says: Every Old-line Democratic paper in the State, with one unimportant exception, that has come out on the Presidential question, has hoisted the flag of Breckinridge and Lane. Such firm and reliable Democratic journals as the Stockton Republican, Marysville Express, Placer Herald, and Sonora Democrat organs of the Democratic party in the days of gloom and disaster did not hesitate a moment to take sides with Breckinridge and Lane. True, to the Democracy they have always been, and with inflexible fidelity they adhere to the good old creed." The Douglas Deserters in New Jersey. The Newark Evening Journal speaks as follows: " Some of the leading men in the movement enlisted warmly in support of a union electoral ticket, and spoke and wrote in favor of this method of settling Democratic disputes and keeping the electoral vote of New Jersey from the. Black Republican nominee. While a large majority of the friends of Mr. Douglas still adhere to and warmly support the compromise, a few others received some sudden and conclusive light in relation to their duty as regular Democrats, which caused them to halt, right-a-bout face, and march forward in opposite direction to that taken by the main body of the Democratic army. Like all deserters, the tendency of these superior Democrats have been toward tho enemy's line; but as they approach the Black Republican camp, the rank and file of the army begin to detect the imposition practiced upon thorn, and quietly take themselves out of the ranks, and return to their old friends and old allegiance. The people cannot long be deceived a to the objects and purposes of the leaders of the straightout Douglas movement." Douglas Swapping the Germans. "The Know Nothings are readv to support Douglas ovided he will promise his Cabinet, in the event of i lis election, to that partv, and promise to the above i party the restriction ot the naturalization ot lor- j eigners (Germans in particular) to twenty-one years. ) "Such promises only can be fulfilled if Douglas should be elected, but such will not be the case, if the j Germans do not sell themselves to the Know No-1 things." Evansville i'olklote. j A Good Sign. The eagerness with which all parties seized upon the absurd Douglaitc invention that Mr. Breckinridge was about to decline, shows how j much they all fear, and how strongly they expect, his triumph in November. Unlikely and impossible as it was that the report should be true, every opposition j paper in the land, and especially the Douglasite presses, caught it up and repeated the story in its columns, with unconcealed exultation; and for a brief space, accordindv, a gleam of light and hope seemed , to snine over me penecuy n;u piTtspwis. . uu- wjui-tcr-sovereign-disunion candidates. Unhappily for them, this gleam w only meteoric, and with authorized contradiction of the story, the rapporters ofi Douglas have been again reduced to despair. Colum- ( bus Fact. i

From the Uuniier uf l.iliert". the jnnoF, "Keep step to the music of the Union." Keep step to the music the music that thrills The national heart, from the sea to the hills, And which in one glorious anthem combines Its holiest hopes and its noblest designs. Keep step to the music though traitors advance With a banner of black, and with uplifted lance, Be our footfall but firm, they will soon pass away Like the dew-damps of night in the brightness of day. Keep step to the music that song of the stars Which brighten our standard come peace or come wars. : Our step shall be true, and the Union shall be "' The watchword and hope of the brave and the free. Keep step to the music and trample in scorn On fratricide locmen of treachery born ; ; Tear down their black banner, and raise in its stead The flag 'neath which freemen and heroes can tread. Keep step to tho music its tones are as dear As the voices of home, to the patriot's ear ; The march is a Nation's whose States e'er shall be "Distinct as the billows, yet one as the sea." A Southern Appeal. Our country is agitated with a startling strife. ."With, a portion of our people reason seems to have lost its controlling power. The Union is threatened with de struction. What is the great disturbing element r is it slavery in the Southern States? The Northern fanatics say it is, and that it must be eradicated from the land. Intoxicated with supposed power and relentless frenzy, they seem determined by the use of " higher law," by fire and rapine, by secret emissaries whose deadly "work is the incitation of our slaves to insurrection, "by all means which madness can dictate, or hatred torture into use, to effect its overthrow and our rain. The South is assailed because she maintains a peculiar property, which is recognized by the Constitution. Thus situated her homes exposed to the incendiary's torch, her women and children exposed, at any sudden and unexpected moment, to butchery, and horrors of every conceivable nature, what would be expected of her people ? Surely, that they would look about to see who are their frit mis that, finding friends, they would embrace them as such. A people in danger will seek to avoid it. Has the South any friends in the Union ? We can judge of friendship only by acts. Is Lincoln the friend of the South? are the Black Republicans ? To ask the question is to answer it. Are Mr. Douglas and his followers at the North the friends of the South 7 It requires argument, special pleading, concession on our part, to make it out. We have to resort to expediency, the least of evils, to a change of our own position, lo the adoption of new theories concerning the Territories, to affiliate with Mr. Douglas. His followers at the North openly declare that they would prefer the election of Lincoln to Breckinridge. Hence Douglas and his Northern sunnorters are at least doubtful friends. They are friends if the people of the South will yield their views of the Constitution to Mr. Douglas' views. AVho then at the North can be relied upon ? There are some there whose friendship is as pure as the drifted snow, and as warm as an endangered people could desire it to be. There are the Buchanans, the Lanes, the Cushings, the Fitches, the Biglers, the Halletts, the Dickinsons, and hosts of others who talked for us as John C. Calhoun talked. There are the Day Books, the Old Line Guards, the Boston Posts, the Jourmds of Commerce, and hundreds of newsjapers throughout the Free States, who hold up for our rights as if they had been established by Southern men and Southern gold. They stand between usand the dark host of our enemies in their midst. They all tell their people that we of the South are their equals. They stake their fortunes, politically and peculiarly, in proclaiming and maintaining, everywhere, that inthe States and in the Territories, we bave, under a common Constitution, every right that they possess that the slaveholder is entitled to as much protection in the Territies as the abolitionist or the frecsoiler. They don't interpose local laws to exclude us they say uo such local laws sltould exist in the Ter ritories that laws should be enacted to give ample protection to slave proiicrtv. These then are our Xorlhern friends. They stand like immovable rocks in a tea of fanaticism. "They are the streaks of light ujwn the dark Northern cloud. They give ns the only hopes we have that those clouds may be disperried, and we and the Union left in safety and peace. I kxigla Democrats ! do not these troth fpeak, in tones of love, to lure Tour true friends? Bell men, do yon not know that the Northern supporters of your candidate are not like these true Northern Democra's to whom you refer? Ob! people of the South! bow long will j some superstitious charm, some fata blindness mislead ,

Tear away this ablepsy from your eyes, shake off tho mists from your locks, stand united to back your true Northern friends, and the halcyon days of the past will return in pristine freshness and beauty to bless youandyourcountry. Your Northern friends will be invigorated by 3'our unity and your enemies will tremble in view of their certain defeat. Augusta (6'n.) True Democrat. Douglas in Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. Douglas made a speech in Norfolk, Virginia, which, for audacity, impudence, and falsehood, bears no resemblance to any specimen of these articles we ever remember to have seen before. It puts them completely in tho shade. Here is a specimen: "Less than one-third of the Convention seceded from twothirds." All the votes cast for Mr. Douglas, being every one they could muster, were 133, being ninex i i ii i,.3 rt

Iceil ICn Mian iwr-uniun, m.'i nuu iv .nv or three bogus delegations to get even so many as that. Mr. Breckinridge received one hundred and five and a half genuine Democratic votes, or morfe than a third of the entire electoral college, and yet Mr. Douglas ha the amazing audacity to stand up and say "less than one-third." He also says if Breckinridge had not been nominated, he would have carried every Northern State but two! This is the best joke of the season, lie closes his speech with the following: The Republicans demand Congressional interference against slavery, while the secessionists demand that Congress shall interfere to protect slavery. It', bv the "secessionists," he means the Breckinridge party, 'he simply states a deliberate falsehood, and there ought to be Breckinridge men with sufficient boldness where he speaks to tell him so. It is simply a personal insult for a man in Mr. Douglas's position to thus misrepresent his opponents. .V. Y. Day Book. To our Exchanges.
