From Warrick County, 7 Boon'viixe, Oct. 9, I860. Messrs. Editors : The ' principle of the National Democracy are taking deep loot in tho hearts of the people of Old Warrick ; on every side of the street, you hear them speaking of those true and honorable men, Bheckinkidge and Lank. Welcome was the dad tidings received on Saturday week, that General Joseph Lank had arrived in our county, and thrice welcome was it received when it was in our own town! Our Fair being open, hundreds of the honest-hearted yeomanry of our county were there to greet him on lib arrival. As the sun was setting in his beautiful
ravs neninu me wuaivm uun.&Lm, mmuiuo ui .u,... "could be seen "gutfienng: at tlie"tap" of 'tliedruu)7'lo welcome the return of the noble patriot, the gallant soldier, the " Marion ot the Mexican War," to our village. As those noble-hearted farmers, and mechanics of all branches of business, gathered around the fhg of Bkeckixiudge and Lane, all anxious to sec our future Vice President, all waiting for the wellknown word, "forward march," which was given at last, with an efficient band of music, we started forward ; all the time our ranks were filling with "true and tried" Democrats, who will never forsake the principles which every honest man ought to carry in his bosom. Arriving at the hotel, the band played a few national airs, and then three cheers, long, loud and hearty, were given for the honorable gentleman, whose presence in our town had called out the most enthusiastic crowd of men that it has ever been my pleasure to see in the precincts of Old Warrick. The cheering was at its height, when General Lane stepped to the door, and as soon as his commanding form was seen entering i!s portals, all was hu.,'ied save a few murmurs of applause. He- commenced speaking; lie thanked them for flics honor they Ind conferred upon him; he thanked the people of Old Warrick for the interest they had taken in him years before, when he was but as the child in its', mother's arms. He told them of the dangers of Abraham Lincoln's corrupt political record in his pa-t life; and, in my opinion, the intelligent portion of the community can conceive what it will be in the future. : If we could but lift the veil that hangs around us, and gaze upon what will be, if Old Abe is our next President, it would make the bravcat heart, quail, beneath the thoughts of such an Administration. '. As General Lane ceased speaking, shouts upon shouts rent the air ; even the Black Republican's of our town, Douglas men included, could not he)) joining in the honest chorus " Hurrah for BitECKiNniDGE and Laxe." Let Douglas mount every stump in the United States, proclaim us disunionists from the South, and Black Republicans from the North, while he talks about himself as the regular nominee of the Democratic Convention. Who ever heard of such absurd slanders as that upon the American people before ? Since we threw off the yoke of British tyranny, proclaiming to the world that we were a free and independent people, there has not been a man upon the American continent who dared to cast such slurs as that upon us but Stephen Arnold Douglas and his fire-eating friend. As to this regular nominee, H. V. Johnson, it is well known how he was nominated. It is a new political era in the history of our country, if a man can be nominated at an oyster supper, whero there were no delegates appointed, and after the adjournment of the regular Convention, that four or five men can appoint a man to the high office of Vice President of the United States, and then call him the regular nominee of the Democratic party, and then ask us to vote for him! What folly ! WThat hair-brained fool could have the impudence to ask it at the hands of a civilized and an intelligent community ? It looks to me just as if a man did not h;ive any brains to ask it at the hands of a people, while he and Stephen A. Douglas have been such a curse to the country. It is insult upon insult, which an intelligent voter cannot look over, and in next November, all thoso who live to see it. will see that Stephen Arnold Douglas has dug his own political grave a grave that will be shunned; one thai- will be looked upon in the future political history of our country, as holding the remains of the most dangerous political malTthat ever disgraced the land of a freeman's home. More anon. A Democrat. From Washington County, Campbellsburgii, Oct. 7, 1860. Mr. Editor: Last Wednesday, 3d inst., was a daylong to be remembered in Campbellsburgh. The true Democracy raised a nice pole, over 100 feet in length, and hoisted a beautiful flag, bearing aloft the names of our gallant standard-bearers, Bkkckiskidge and Lane. This was the work of the forenoon. In the afternoon of the same day, Dr. Shcrrod, Elector for this District, addressed the crowd, which was composed of Democrats,' Douglasitei, and Republicans, in a way that was truly amusing to Democrats mid Republicans, although hs gave tbe Republicans some terrible home-thrusts. If you arc fond of comical exhibitions, it would have done you good to the day of your death to seethe Douglasites wince ami squirm and writhe under the Doctor's withering exposure of the little Squatter Sovereign in his tortuous political peregrinations in search of his mother, and the numerous summersaults he has found it necessary to turn, as his position has changed, either in latitude or longitude. The Douglasites here have been very rampant and noisy during the campaign, and rather made merry over the idea of the Breckinridge men raising a pole, and having a speech, but you had better think they went away with a flea in their ear, and were unusually mute, down in the mouth, and faces in a growing way in length. As was lately said ot Col. Humphrey Marshall, so we thought of Dr. Sherrod " If I were a follower of Little Dug.. I should feel like prosecuting the Doctor for cruelty toajiimals.'" We need sosie of our canvassers to call here again very soon, as there are certainly lew places where as much good can h, done as at Catnpbellsbu'-gh. We! say. keep the ball rolling. N. J. W. j From Jefferson County. j Messrs. Editors: It is melancholy to reflect upou the mutability of all earthly calculations. Yesterday, the great embodiment of Republicanism, in this county the august Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee the redoubtable Editor of the Madison Evening Courier the soul, body and breeches of tho Republican party of old Jefler-dn was strutting our streets in all the pomp of official insolence with the Treasury of the county in his pocket. To-day, it has slipped from his grasp, and he finds himself, in this Republican strong-hold, when all the balance of the Republican ticket is elected by overwhelming majorities, igmMy defeated. Had this oocurrr-d in a Dem
ocratic county, it might have been borne, but to be thus slaughtered in the house of one's friends is dreadAd. The quetlon now is, what must be done ? what must Mr. Garber Mr. M. C. Garber, Editor, Chairman, &c, &c, do? Something desperate must be undertaken! The fear is entertained that he will attempt to avenge himself of his party by teryivermting, that is, turning back again to the Democracy. Such a catastrophy is to be dreaded, and the united prayer of all Old Line Democrats just now, is that they may be spared from such a calamity. .' J F, C. Extracts from the Speech of Hon. John Slidell,
lDdivared al. BonnetS'arrel (La.,&fM5J,SW. The delegates who nominated Breckinridge-and Lane at Baltimore, went to Charleston with no feelings of individual partnership. All they asked, and ail they desired, was an unambiguous platform, with a ! candidate who could honestly stand on it. Each one, perhaps, had his personal preferences, but each and , all of them were willing to forego them in order to ' unite and harmonize the party. They cared not from j what State the candidate might come, so long as he i was honest, faithful, and capable. They were willing : to accept hiin, even from the hands of those whom ( they might distrust. The New Yoik delegation could at any time have controlled tho nomination in favor ot j anyone whose name was mentioned in connection with I the Presidency. Seymour or Toucey of Connecticut; Dickinson, Seymour, or Judge Nelson, of New lork, Pearce, of Maryland; Hunter or Wise, of Virginia; Cobb or Toombs, of Georgia; Fitzpatriek, of Alabama; Davis, of Mississippi; Guthrie, of Kentucky; or Lane, of Oregon, could, with the assent of New York, have obtained without difficulty a two-thirds vote. I cite these gentlemen only because they had been more or less 'frequently spoken of as candidates, and not as exhausting the catalogue of worthy names from which a good selection might have been made. But Mr. Douglas and his immediate friends rejected all terms of compromise and conciliation. They would not only have him tor the 'Candidate, but he must dictate his own platform. You may imagine the feeling of bitterness with which every man not devoted to the fortunes of Douglas observed these exhibitions of selfishness, recklessness, and obstinacy. It pervaded every State and county of the Union, and had no counter nomination been made would have sufficed to give the vote of every free Slate to Lincoln and every tlave State to Bell. The Democratic organization would, for the time, at least, have been broken up anil (testroyeu. nat, men, are me chances of Mr. Douglas to carry a single electoral vote in any State, North, South, East, or West. We j have a presage of the result in the recent Maine dec-! tion. . Maine was certain to be one of his strongholds, and was pledged by her delegates as absolutely certain to east her ote for him. The Democratic, ticket there received the unanimous and cordial support of both wings of the. party, and yet the entire Abolition tickets for State officers and members of Congress were elected by largely increased majorities. I state it as my deliberate conviction that Stephen A. Douglas will not receive the electoral vote of a solitary State of the confederacy, and while 1 have no pretention to set myself up as a prophet, I will stake any little reputation I may have for sagacity on that issue. There is one other point -in connection with the candidature of Mr. Douglas on which I desire to say a few words. He claims on all occasions in his itinerant advocacy of his own election, of the decency and good taste of which, by the way, there seems to be but one opinion, to be the regular nominee of the Democratic party, and on jthis ground alone, I am told, many true Democrats feel bound to vote for him. No one appreciates more highly than I the duty of party allegiance and the necessity of party discipline. No one is a greater stickler for adherence to regular nominations. I have never, on any occasion, failed to carry out my theory in practice, and have more than once voted for candidates in every way distasteful to me. But when are arty nominations binding? It is when those who assume to make them have common principles that they desire to carry out For this object they are willing to sacrifice all their personal preferences and prejudices in the selection of candidates. Principles are essential the instruments by which they are to be supported are comparatively unimportant. But when among associations of men who have previously acted together for party purposes, radical differences of opinion on important questions spring up, each section of the party has an unquestionable right to demand the plain, distinct cnuncia-. tion of its views, and if this be either denied or evaded, has an equally unquestionable right to withdraw before the balloting for candidates has commenced. If they choose to remain and participate in the selection of candidates they must submit to the action of the majority. The delegations of eight Southern States to the Charleston Convention, elected to retire when the majority refuseil to adopt a platform acceptable to them. They again presented themselves at Baltimore, after consulting their constituents, in the hope that better counsels would there prevail. Not only in this reasonable expectation were they disappointed, but an unprincipled and reckless majority rejected two or three delegations, admitting in their places men without the semblance of right to represent their respective States. Even with these bogus delegations, and the fragmentary remains of other Southern delegations, by their own showing the Douglas Convention failed to unite the two-thirds majority required by the established usage of the party and the rule adopted by itself. Mil. BKEC'KINKIDGE's AXT MR.-' BELL'S CHANCES. Let. us now examine what are Mr. Bell's prospects ; and this to us is a more important question, for it is with him that the Democracy of Louisiana, and, indeed, of every other Southern State, have to contend. At the threshliold ot tins inquiry it will be much simplified : by conceding a fact which no well-informed man doubts, that Lincoln will carry every free State, with j the exception of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Califor-j nia and Oregon. With any other Democratic candidate than Douglas, harmoniously nominated, Rhode i Island, Connecticut, New York", Indiana, Illinois aniU Minnesota would have been debateable States, and we should, in all probability, have carried three or four of them; even now, if under the dictation of Douglas all terms of fusion and compromise, however fair and liberal, were not obstinately rejected by those States, we might indulge reasonable hopes of success. How stands the Bell parly in Pennsylvania ? There are four tickets in the field: The Abolition ticket; the regular Democratic ticket, composed of friends of Breckinridge and Douglas, (the former in largo majority) pledged to vote for the one or the other, as the j prcierence oi inu majority oi inose vonng h may De indicated by the name of Breckinridge or Douglas : heading the ticket as elector at large ; the straight-out j Douglas ticket, supported by John Y. Forney, Mont-j goinery and other intimate friends of Douglas, acting, under instructions emenating directly from him, and , put in nomination for the palpable, indeed, for the j avowed purpose of defeating every chance of a successful Democratic fusion; lastly, the Bell ticket, which, j if not withdrawn, will be supported bv that portion of j the American party who voted for Mr. Fillmore in ; 1850, and who have not joined the Black Republican ranks. They are not estimated at more than thirty j thousand, and can only be made effective to defeat : Lincoln, by some terms of arrangement and combina-! tion, which our friends arc prepared to make, and ! such as already have been consummated in New Jer-j sey. Mr, Bell may thus obtain a few votes from these States which he cannot jiossibly have in any other i way. What then are his chances in the slave States? i North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,! Mississippi, Florida, Texas anil Arkansas are conceded to Breckinridge and Laue beyond pcradventure. Nobody having any information respecting these I States, and any rvcard to truth, will gainsay it. Del-1 aware, Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee may be set down for our candidate, not, it is true, with the same absolute assurance: while, although many of our moi-e sanguine friends still entertain hopes of Missouri and Kentucky, I fear that they are doomed to disappointment. . As to our own State; having some experience in these matters, and keeping up a correspondence with most of the parishes, I can onlv say that I never have, in any contest, felt a more perfect confidence of triuinplwnt guccex than I do now. The Democracy of
the State, with the exception of Orleans and three or four other parishes, has never been more united and enthusiastic than it is to-day ; and what we have lost by the desertion of disaffected und disappointed members of our party, is more than compensated by the accession of the very elite of tho old-line Whig party; and we have reason to congratulate ourselves alike upon what we have lost, as what we have gained in thee mutations. Indeed, the disaffection in our ranks is more apparent than real, because, as is well known, mot ot the leaders of the Douglas faction have been, for several years, secretly opposed to our organization; and in politics, as in war, an enemy in your camp can do more mischief than a dozen men of equal caliber whose hostility is openly avowed. 1 am gratified to have it in my power to assure our friends in the country, that the Democracy of New Orleans is earnest, active and vigilant, and that our young men are organizing with a vigor and spirit dial "justify the belief thai the reputation of the city will 'he at least partially retrieved m November. If Lincoln be defeated in Pennsylvania, the election will go to the House of Representatives. The only man who can there receive the vote of the majority of the States, without the aid of Abolitionists, is Mr. Breckinridge; but inasmuch as two Southern Stales have delegations of which the majority was elected by the Know-Nothing party, and in two or three others the delegations are equally divided between the friends and opponents of Breckinridge, his election by the House can only be the result of an obstinate and protracted struggle, and it will be safer to assume that no such election will be made. In that event General Lane, by the election of the Senate, will become' Vice President by name, but President in fact. The reins of Government will never have been con
fided to safer, steadier and firmer hands. Having thus disposed of the question of the relative strength of the candidates, let us examine their ante cedents, their qualities of mind, their personal; chaiacter, and comparative fitness for the exalted station to which they aspire. In speaking of Mr. Douglas, we shall be brief, for two reasons. One, that if I were to say all I think of him, without reserve, many of those who have not had the same opportunities to observe him as I have, would think my picture overcharged, and some might suspect that personal and political hostility made nie a biased, and perhaps unsafe, witness. The other is that he is not the opponent with whom we are seriously to contend. 1 cheerfully admit the marked ability, the vigor and energy, mental and physical, of Douglas, and the eminent services rendered by him in times past to tho Democratic party times in w hich 1 w as proud to recognize in hiin our stoutest champion, and one of our ablest chiefs; but these qualities are marred by an insatiable ambition, an overweening vanity, a tcniperimpaticnt of all counsel or control, and an intense selfishness, which renders him incapable of viewing political questions in any other light than that reflected by his own personal interests of the day. He is a cunning but not a sagacious man, utterly unscrupulous as to the means of obtaining the object he has had in view- since his debut into public life. He has been an avowed aspirant and intriguer for the Presidency for the last sixteen years, and, had he known how to bide his time, and been less demonstrative in his efforts, would probably have secured by this time, the object of his ambition. Having failed in this attempt, and forfeited the confidence of his former political friends, his sole object is now to ruin the party which he has not been permitted to rule. u Noscitur a hoc i is" is a safe precept, and its truth has never been more strikingly verified than in Stephen A. Douglas. Who arc his confidential friends and most active supporters?' Di.-appointed politicians men who have failed to be appreciated, accordintr to tbeir own estimate of their merits, by ig norant constituencies, would be Ministers Plenipoten- i tiary and Cabinet Ministers, Solons ot phamom liepublics, rejected office-seekers, lobby agents for fraudulent or exaggerated claims, needy letter writers, all the Robert Macaries of the press, projectors of railroads, of which all the profit is to inure to them, and all the cose to the government, all who hope, under a lax and profligate administration, to obtain fat tontracts are to bo found enlisted under his banner. Add to these a number of pretended Democrats, who find in his squatter sovereignty doctrines a convenient halfway lodgment on the road to the Abolition camp, and you have the sum total of the Douglas array an army composed of officers and trumpeters, without rank or file, making up in the loudness of their boastings and in the violence of their denunciations, lor the sparseness of their numbers and the absence of all those elements of integrity, intelligence,, and social standing which enter into the composition of a great j national party. e turn from him with unmixed satisfaction to our candidates. John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane, You are all familiar with the comparatively short but ' brilliant political career of Breckinridge. His record is without a flaw, and he lias in his favor the prestige of unvaried success. Eloqent, talented, bold but prudent, slow to take his stand, but mtlexibte in adhering to it, he is emphatically the man for a crisis like the present. Lane is a man of large experience, solid judgment, and invincible firmness. Xo temptation can seduce him from the path of duty ; no dangerdeter him from following it. Ho has that strong instinct of right which was the striking characteristic of Andrew Jackson. Where Lane shall lead it will always be safe to follow. Both are true and tried friends of the South, and supporters of our constitutional rights. Our speakers, in canvassing the State, will have no trouble on this score. They will never be called to defend a vote or explain an ambiguous expression of either of them on the slavery question ; but as our opponents can find no rent in their armor, no vulnerable point in their record, they have abandoned the vain attempt of attacking them directly, and are endeavoring to make them the vicarious expiators of certain alleged sins of others. Yancey supports Breckinridge, therefore Breckinridge must be offered up as a "holocaust tor Yancey's political heresies. Yancey is a disunionist; ergo, Breckinridge is striving might and main for the dissolution of the Union. All this is unmitigated humbug, but the cry has been gotten up, and reverberated from Maine to Texas ; and unjust and unfounded as it is. must not be despised or neglected, for thousands of good men may be so deluded as to withhold from our candidates the votes that would otherwise be cast for them. As well might Douglas ' be pronounced a disunionist because he is supported by Isaac E. Morse, and Herschel V. Johnson is running on his ticket for the Vice Presidency ; although in his extreme love for the Union he has threatened to hang every man who does not construe the Constitution as he does. Now, the past opinions of Mr. Yancey, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Moi-se are mattei-s of supreme indifference to everybody but themselves. If there be any inconsistency between the doctrines they once advocated and those they now entertain, it is for them, if they think it worth while, to explain, and, if possible, to reconcile. The only legitimate question is, what have been and what now are the expressed opinions of our candidates ? I defy any one to quote a word from either of them that will justify the accusation. I fake it for granted that they are attached, as we all are, to the Union and the Constitution to the Union under which our rights arc guaranteed and our equality recognized ; but that when we shall cease to be secure in the enjoyment of those lights, and are denied that equality, they, as we, will permit no superstitious reverence for forms that hare been perverted to purposes of oppression and insult, to prevent their taking the necessary means to vindicate the one and restore the other. To this extent nearly all of us in Louisiana are, I trust, disunionists; at least I don't hesitate to pronounce myself one. Beyond it I repudiate the appellation. Congress.

Eee.rg County Democratic.' The election which took place throughout the State of Delaware, on Tuesday, is a clear index of the vote in November. With the exception of a few places the Democracy have triumphed over the combined forces of the Opposition. In several of our strongholds the Douglas men, it is supposed, united with the Opposition. This was tho ca-e in White Clay Creek Hundred in this county. Mr. Haughy, a Douglas man, in Christiana Hundred, also run upon a ticket headed "Republican ticket," casting his influence for two of the Republican candidates. His vote, it will be seen, is sixtyone. The result on Tuesday must prove to all Democrats the utter impossibility of serving any other purpose than to help the Opposition by persisting in voting for Mr. Douglas. In this city, we believe, but few votes will be cast for Douglas in November. All Democrats by that time will conclude that they must vote with their own party or give their aid to Lincoln which voting for Douglas certainly will do. In New Castle county we have carried eight Inspectors or Judges of the election, and the combined opposition six, three of which are in the wards in this city. There are U-n Hundreds in this county and tho Democrats have carried seven of them, showing a majority on the vote, for assessors (exclusive of this city) of one hundred and seventy-three. If we add the majority of Mr. Smith in this city, the majority in the county over the Bell and Everett vote, which appears to be the strongest, is 246. In Kent county the Democrats have triumphed in five out of the seven Hundreds; ami besides elected their a;sessor in Milford Hundred, heretofore the great stronghold of the Opposition. As near as we can ascertain our majority in Kent, at this writing, is 440. This is the home county of Mr. Fisher, the Opposition candidate for Congress, as well as Mr. Reed, the Douglas candidate for Congress. Our reJurns from old Sussex are not quite so complete. A letter in another column informs us that we have carried seven of the ten hundreds, and reports, at this writing, set down the majority in the county at about 250. Thus it is shown that Delaware is safe for the Democracy in November by a large majority. Wilmington (Del.) fJazetle, Oct. 5. ' KANSAS.:' Lands In the late New York Indian Reserve.
