Ä. iV. HLDSO.. LDH Oll. TlIUltK HAUTE, IM). WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 31, 1660 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. TOR FRISIDENT, ABRAHAM' LINCOLN or ilisoi. ' TOR VICE PRESIDENT, HANNIBAL HAMLIN, OF VAtXK. . A II ord . A the Presidential election is one week fron to-dsy. oar weekly Isue on Wednesday, n The .ast, prior to the day when the citizen will be called upon to determine who hall be the President of the United States. It in aWays a matter of the great eat importance to select from the large number who are fit to be President, the most fitting man. These four yesr elections are a happy arrangement of our fa thers, and show the far seeing wisdom o the great men who formed this govern ment. The American people need socr periodic whiilwit.d och mental excite meet such political up risings a we have every four years. V ere it not for them would hare to seek excitement eUewhere excitement this people roost and will hate Since the formation of this General Got ernroent, there Lns not, perhaps been more important Presidential election than thm nrpnt one. The result of this cam paign does not only determire who is be our next President, but it settles fore er important questions 10 American po 1 ties ooestions which have disturbed the public mmd since the days of our fathers "Shall human Slavery le extended on this Continent ? U our vast public domain F ree IT Slave Territory? If the Republican .cced io this contest, those questions will be settled permanently and forever thai the one shall not be extended and the other is free. Is not tbis desirable? Every patriot must sav o, and every man in whose heart thero is one thrill of love for his fellow man must fetl thst it is. Viewing the approaching contest in this light, how important is it, that every elec tor should go to the polls and rote. He who ataya away, violate one of the roost ea cr-d duties imposed upon him as an American citizen. He who does not exert his influence for the good of our common country and for the right, is derelict to the obligations resting upn bim as a free citizen of a free government. There can be no excuse given for not voting, and especially when fcuch great questions as are now involved in. the issues before us are to be settled. It is not only who shall be President, but hat shall be the policy ol this government touching vital questions. As an exponent of the doctrines which the Republicans believe to be right, tbey will npport Abraham Lincoln. In him they find the true, earnest and full embodiment of the questions toachin huaian slavery, which they believe to be right. Ue i not olj regarded as & representative of what we believe to be right, but his whole life proclaims him an booest man. He is every way "worthy and well qoalified." On the contrary, Mr. Douglas in the representative of a doctrine which every intelligent man knows is a humbug and cal Colated ooly to deceive the most unlettered, while ilr. BreckinriJe personifies princi pies that are at war wiib the doctrines which every disinterested Northern man believes to be right. Bell represents no principle that we know of. It certainly cannot therefore be difficult for any one to determine for whom to vote, but at any rate, go to the ptlls, on the day f the election und tefe and to'.e rightand vole for Lin col. The Presidential Vote. Each pas-ins; d y convinces as more and more that the Republican party will be aireestful in this grett political struggle. Up to the present writing there can he but little doubt the illustrious citizen of Illinois, Abraham Lincoln, will be elected President by the pop ilsr vote DrMiny, if not the sober j irlgment of a tnajirity tL- American people, seem to have deter, mined this. The people, who? government this is, desire a change in the adminis'ration of the afftirs of our Federal Government. They want a new man inthe White House new men in all the department at Washington new men to re pre eat es abroad new meo to fill the officiaj atation at borne, and the whole wirk and cooirol and management cf our national affairs to pass into the hands of new men. AH the surroundings demsnd this our present ha-pine-s and future prosperity daman 1 this every thin,; that is right and proper demand this and the sovereign people have determined it. There can be but little doubt that Mr. Lincoln will gel, one week from to to-day. the electoral vote of the following Slates Maine 8 Ohio 93 New Hampshire. . .S Indiana 13 Vermont ......... .5 Illinois 11 MaMhiietts....l3 Michigtn... 6 Rhode IaUod......4 Wisconsin ....... .5 Connecticut C Iowa........ 4 New York 35 Minnesota 4 New Jersey 7 Pennsylvania ... 27 Total 175 How the Southern States will be divided between Breckioridge and Bell, it is diffi cult to determine. Mr. Breckinridge however, will most unquestionably get a majority of them, and we should not be surprised if the followiog Stales will give bim their electoral votes : Alabama 9 North Carolina.. 10 Mississippi ....... .7 Sooth Carolina. .8 Lnaisisoa 6 Georgia 10 Arkansas 4 Florida 3 Virginia..... 15 Texas 4 Delaware 3 Total 13 This will give the remaining to Mr. Be' J, vii: Maryland H Kentucky Tennessee... 12 Missouri.. .12 Total 41 This leaves tbe S ates of California and Oregon doubtful, with however the chauces decidedly ia favor of the Republican. We can find no State whose electoral vote, will, by any probability, be cast for Htepben A. Douglas. He seems to be loo

poor for any to do hirn honor. He is out aide the ring and not in this fijht. By this computation, Mr. Lincoln will have, inthe Electoral College, 3.1 more thao ie necessary to bis election. These finre, io urjufgm-nt, will be the result of the election on next Tuesday, and we hope to have the plessnre of adding to this Republican pyramid, the young giaots of the Wt, California and Oregon. IT "Ab? Lincoln, so help as Heaven, shall never be nr Presideot," says th Atlaotie (Geo ) Locomotive. Smocbody o,ht to iwiea that Lotimotitt.

The Jury Trial. j The exaculnatlot. that has been going on J

for the Ut four mouths, before the jury of the country, is about to clos. The issue are all ruade up, the counsels have ;been beard and the verdict will be rendered on next Tuesday. , It has beeu a case of very general interest, engaging the best talent of the country, and attended with much expense. The argument of the attorneys baa been profuse, prolix, and profound Sometimes able and sometimes not some time grve and ometimes humorous. The different attorney wer t before the ju ry urging for their consideration the fol lowing facta: Mr Breckinridge stated hia case thos: Gentlemen of the Jury Let the past bry the past the light of 1660 ha dawned npon til andarnid its refulgence we have discovered that a man of color and a cow are precisely the eame kind of property. The only difference between them is, thst one has but two legs while the other baa four, and I am impressed with the opinion four leis are mure valuable than two. The negro being property, Gentlemen of the Jury, the Southern slaveholder has a right. onder the Constitution, to take hi negroes anywhere, everywhere aad the National Legislature should prot'.-ct hira in that right." The Little Giant then state hi case: Gentlemen, there is but ore Great Principle, and that one belongs to roe. I am it uthör, it finisher, Us discoverer and its giisntic advocate. My treat principle is, ihatthe people of a Territory, like the people c f a State, have the right to aay hether they should have Slavery er not they may exclude it if they so desire. At the same time I am an earnest advocate of a atrict adherence to the; decisions of the Supreme Court, and particularly the one known as the Dred Scott decision, which establishes the doctrine that the people of a Territory have no power to exclude Slavery I herefrom. Tbia is my great principle, gentlemen of the jury, and upon this unequivocal statement, I submit my case A little bell then tiogles, and John Bell rises. He holds in one band the Star Spanned Banner, in the olbtr the Constitution, and he stands on all the laws and dee ares he intends to enforce them. It neems to be his special mission to prevent a dissolution of these States, and 'after repealing the Declaration of Independence and singing the Star Spangled Banner, he gives way to Honest Old Abe, who state his case in the following concise manner: 'Gentlemen Human Slavery is the creature of local law, and does not exist outside the jurisdiction of that law. All of our vast public domain is free, because '" re has never bean enacted aoy laws, bv a. proper tribunal, making it Slave. The nmmal condition of all men is that of freeJom, and the normal condition of all Territory is freedom also. Slavery is un just towards the black man and a curse to the white man, and auch being the case. wbilel would not interfere with the pecu liar institution where it exists by virtue of State Sovereignty, I am now, aad ever ex pect to be, inflexibly epposed to its expao sion or extension." The jury seemed to be pleased with the correctness of those opinions as advocated br Mr. Lincoln, and we have but little doubt, that on next Tuesday tLe majority of them, will return a verdict in his favor O Dr. York of Paris, addressed a large and respectable audience al the Court House last evening. He is a fluent and able speaker and is folly conversant with the great issues now occupying the public mind. He speaks underatan Singly, clearly, to the point, and the plain common sense wbich characterizes all that he says, makes him a verv interesting speaker. After "Old Abe" is elected, we speak for another speech from him, when io the gen. oral jubilee that will prevail everywhere, we would be delighted to hear his ringing voie again.

8utheru journals, since the result hat beeu ! known of the receut eleetiou. In other words, will aoy eitizen of the Slave States condescend to accept office at the hands of the inevitable Black Republican President whu i to be inaugurated next March? Having pretty cenerally concluded to abandon the idea of a fight, the fire-eater are debating the question whether they will not eat or let eat, as once did the ft roous dog iu the manger. The Washington Dispatch brings the following tuforroalio from Coliondom, which shows a feeling of "resignation" smong the "pres ent incumbents" there, that if practiced on the fourth of March, msy save the necessity f applying Mr. Lincoln's broom in that part nf the Kitchen: Mahüo a Vibtck or Necessity. It i ssid that some fire eatinz postmasters i the extreme South have sent letters to the Department, stating that Ihev must not be r on id. -red as willing to held their flies after the 4ih of Ma'ch next. As there are a great number of defsulim; potfca.st-rs st this time, we may expect to bear ol mio auch acts of patriotism. The Kooxville, Tenn. Whig, a wellknown and influential psper of Southern opinion, lakes the following Tiew of the case: "Will Democrats in the South hold on ? Wbe that knows them can doubt? No' one in a thousand will rinn and go out ! flic. Oh. no: they will be cud to erv undr Lincoln and thu ve the C"ntrv !

W challenge th world to point to a man who will resign. LincolnV greatest trouble at the Siiuth will be t find offices enough to meet the elamorout demando of the Breckinridge Democrats." The Washington Constitution, the or gan of the Buchanan Administration, also bears witness on the subject thus: "If rumors are to be believed, it is not alone io Wheeling that mercenary politicians are shaping their sails to catch a favorable breeze from Black Republican quarters. - HK Lincoln and the South. The liberality and justice which will characterise the Administration of Lincoln towards the South, were well expressed in aspefch which he delivered in Cincinnati, when he thus addressed some Kentuckiauti who were present: " I will tell you, as far as I am authorized to speak for the opposition, tehut we mean to do a ith j ou. We mean to treat yon, as nearly as we can. ea Washington, Jeffer ion, mod Madison treated you. WE MiSAN TO LEAVE YOU ALONE, end in mo way interfere with your iaititution ; to a tide by every Compromise of the Constitution; aud, in a word, coming buck t the original proposition, to irsat you as far as degeoerated mt-o (if we Lave degenerated) may, according to the example of those noble fathers Washington, Jefferson and Madison. IV mean to remmber that you ore good ao ice ore that there is no difference between us other than the differ ence of circumstances. We mean to recog nize an't bear in ruiud always, that you have s good hearts in your bosoms as other people, or as e claim to have, and treat you accordingly." HotaiBLi Ismuotxci !We were seriously told this tnorning that a plot is sc lually on foot for the ! rcible seizure of the polls in the city of ew York, by Capt. Rynders and his men, who propose to exclude all the Lincoln votee, and to Stuff the ballot boxes, until the mnjority against Lincoln in the State t-hal reach 75,000 vote. Quale orro'r! a the Italian opera singers exclaim. Baltimore Patriot. About the same time, probably, the bloody abolitionists" will enterthecity of Charleston, South Carolina, and after slaughtering the principal inhabitants, entrench themselves on the border of th city, and hold it as a hostage for the good behaviour of the South Carolina fireeaters. O" The New York Herald, which hss been denouncing Lincoln as an ultra Abolitionist, and prophesy ing all srts of calamities in the event of his election, has suddenly hauled ort oh the other tick. In its issue of the 20th inst. it say: It sppears thst "Old Abe" is a couserv ative Republican That he contemplate no war upon the constitutional right ol slavery in the slave Statt a lha' hi plat form ' the Chicago platform in rood fai h, and that his gene a) pnlicv on slavery will r to conciliate the South into submissjan, instead of exa-perating I. er people into pen rebellion. His cabinet: too, will be made up of Northern and Southern men Sicessiov The Hunteville (Ala.) Ad vocate say: 'We understand from personal consult lion, or what we regard a reliable au hur ity. that all of our merchants, no matter what their party affiliation, have returned frim the North in favor of sicesion and resistance, if Lincoln should be elected." Probably the aforesaid merchant have large ballances against the n on the bookf Northern traders and manufacturers, and expect to rnake' good thing out of it" in case nf vcession 'and resistance, by repudiating their debts. St Louis Democrat. Tai Either Hob or tbe Dilemma. "Ion," Democratic correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, thus tells the whole story about Pennsylvania: Foster wis honestly sustained by the different parties hos lie to Lincoln, or h was not. If the formt-r was the fact, then Lincoln has a fixed majority; if the latter, then it is certain that ihoe who deceived the Democracy then will dir it aain. Lin coin's Tot is to be larger than Curtin's if indeed, Lincoln is not preferred to Brick inridge by numbers who voted for Foster. 31 r. Masterson. The Charleston Courier aaya: "This gentleman, of St. Louis, favored a large and attentive auditory which an elaborate Republican address oo Friday evening at Mount and Hill's Hall. Ilr. Materson, is of 1 1 iah parentage, and possesses an abundance of that keen sarcatn and witthat is incident to tho inhabitants of tne Emeralds Isle. He devoted the greater part of his speech to the Irish portion of the as. semblsge, showed them the error of their ways, and demonstrated conclusively that the dncrines as now advocated by the party which they were now upholding would eventually bring about the very result which they were endeavoring to prevent. He is an eloquent, pungent and convincing speaker aud bids fair to perform glorious work among his Irish brethren. IT To shew the confidence of our dele gates and prominent men (who attended the Chicago Convention) after the nomina tion ol Lincoln, we give the conclusion of the speeches of Hons. Caleb D. Smith and Henry S. Lane: Mr. Smith said: "In conclusion, I as sure you that the Republican flsg will wave in triumph upon the soil of Indiana. Mr. Lane said: "My fellow citiseos, some doubts has brcti expressed in reference to Indiana. I pledge Indiana by ten thousand majority.

Editors Louiseill Courier: In requesting theuoeof your column for the publication of this card, I dopurt from a rule that I have observed through the whole of my pTtilical life, and stoup to notice the cal urauirs of a peniiourd yres. A friend hat just handed ue a cewipa per called the Cineiooati Enouirer .o her wise I presume I should aot have seen it.) ! which containa, in its isiue of the I7lh iust., the following notice of myself :- BOW iES'I P. BRICHT VOTEP. A gentleman of veracity, aid whom we can avouch as auch, mated to u veaterdav, in the presence of others, that he saw Mr. Jesse D. Bright's ticket, which the Senator voted on the 9tn inst , and that it was the full Republican ticket, with one exception. He voted for Lane, Republican, and against Hendricks, as did the Breckinridge mea of Indiana generally. : In addition to this, I find, on my return to tin place (after an absence of two week,) letter trom several friend (three ..f whom reside in Kentucky.) calling my attention to this calumny, and reqjeiing me to notice it. I do very eluctsntly, recise t my uo willingness to digoi'y such an absurd cl are with even a d-tnai; buil hope 1 all i it satisfactorily to ihoe wlm feel enough 4 interest iu the matter to read this statement. 'The gentleman f veracity," who told the editor of the Enquirer thst 'he saw my ifket." that he knws how I voted, and that I voted for Mr. Lane, or any other Republican candidate on the State ticket, is a iir and slanderer, and I apply the same hngusge to certain editors of Douglas i.ewppers, who have reiterated this charge nnd vouched for its truth. I have been pursued by S'epheo A Dm g!as and his minions to a point where I fin 1 that my friends expect me to take .ine notice, over mv own n.natuie, of these revilers and deiamers of character, and especially, that I should notice the unmi'igated falsehoods contained in that truih-ielling newspaper, (!) the "Cincinnati Enquirer;" and, in yielding to their wishes, and thus departing from a rule of action thst has governed roe through life, I want it distinctly understood that, personally, 1 am indifferent alike to the praise or censure of that class of editors who have been so actively engaged in villifyiog and abusing me throughout the pendicg Pres idential canvass, because of my open support of Breckinridge ai d Lane.

ET Tbe Missouri Democrat thinks that the Federal Government would not per mit a Southern State to withdraw from the Union in the event of Lixcols'b elec tion. It argues thua: It i said in some quarters that if South Carolina secedes, that other Slave States will resist the Federal Government if it attempt to coerce her into the Union. We do not knew how that might be; but we do know that the Government cannot permit a hostile 3tate to interpenetrate tbe very heart of the county, sundering the Slates like a wedge. When the nation was comparatively weak, the acquisition or Florida and Louisiana all that lay between us and the seaboard of the Gulf waa deemed essential; and it is the acme of absurdity to suppose that the existence of a foreign government could be tolerated on the Atlantic aeaboard. Now South Carolina may, if she chooses, refuse to elect senator and Members of Congress, but the United States laws nevertheless will be adminis tered within bar limits, aud every box cf Cigars that comes from Cuba, to Charleston, and every basket of champaioe thai comes thither from France, will have to pay duty to the Federal Treasury. Tbe laws will be enforced not new laws, but the same sho has obeyed from the beginloar. I he threatened revolt against the prin ciple or an orranued Democrscy tbe principle which recognizes the mnjority a the rightful expont-nt of the national will a principle which even monarches are beginning to regard as tho legitimate ba sis 01 an government comes, appropri ately enough, from the most oligarchical States. The ntnrement is not a movement hostile to the TJaion, merely; it ia one bos tile to free suffrage, to Democracy, to eniihtened opinion, and even to the repub lican frra of government. Were it to succeed, it proximate result would be a Die tatorbip. with, perhaps, a simulacrum of a patrician or a plantation Senate The Republican, whose watchword is Union and Liberty, hs adopti-d a creed, which, however brief, is chsred with profound meaning. The success of tb &epesionists, whether by the defeat of Lincoln or the dissolution of tke Unioo, would be the overthrow ef the Democratic principle.

The New Orleans Picayune has an ex tract from a privat letter written by Dr. John Evans, the Geologist of the United States Chiriqui Surveying Expedition, which contains information of general in terest. Dr. Evans Is an explorer aod geol ogist of profound knowledge and much experience: CniRiqci Laeooy, Sept. 27, 1860. "I have just returned from a trip of twelve days to the Changsionol river, where I found eight seems of coal, much of which i of excellent quality and burns very freely. There will not be the least difficulty in making thjs coal accessible to ship navigation. The bottom land bordering the river are qrtit level and the soil as rich as I ever met with In any of my travels. It is from 4 to li! feet in thickness, a sandy, clay. loam, with a large per ceotaue of vegetable matter. AH the tropical fruits are found oo ita banks oranges, limes, lsmons, bananas, bread-fruit, alligater-pear, prunes, dates, die, Ac, all growing wild. Tbe weather Is delightful. The thermometer range from 69 to 85 degrees; sea breeies during the day and laod breeiea during the night; blanket have been al ways found comfortable toward morning. The coal deposit is accessible to (navi gatioo tnd Inexhaustible. The sand stones, clay, and lime stones associate with it: also the eharscterlstle fossils are found everywhere in the lagoon and its tributar ies. CT "And shall our Douglas die?" Yes we think the little fellow mast go under. jodging by the election return from ue doubtful' metes.

For lb Express. 'Hurrah for Douglas. The man that hurrahs for Douglas in the present posture of political affairs is considered by intelligent men as "not post, ed," as having been slighted by the Telegraph and the Post Office. It is seldom, however, that a cheer for Douglas is beard ; but when such a melancholy wail is forced upon the car now days, it proceeds from a stimulus that is sometimes availed of by

people to keep their courage up. Duting a abort excursion into the country a day or two since, a few chirps for Douglas were heard, and in almost every instance came from amall boy underneath red cap that were evidently intended , for persons of larger growth. The old woodpeckers have undoubtedly seen the "signs," and having no further use for the crimson crest have banded it down to the young ones, to flicker out as an emblem of departed hopes. And well it may be so, for no man of any saga city, of penetration sufficient to see the sun In ita midday brightness can have any expectation of the success of Douglas in the Presidential race. It is demonstrated beyond the possibility of contingencies that the raau cannot be oar next President, who travels the country as tbe champion of a "great principle" he has left to the mercy of five alaveholding Judges, who have already annihilated his "principle" by a decision which he accepts, aad p'edges himself to stand by any other decision they make io opposition to Popular Sovereignty. His parasites in this State who have amused us during the campaign ith the grandiloquent declamation "Men of Indiana, do you think when you go to ine territories yon ioe your . i eve b-r-a-i-n-s aod can't gevera yourselves have no power to save the Douglas that surrenders, to five meo in robes, tbe right of the people to govern themselves. Query: Whether any earnest Popular Sovereignty man can vstefor Douglas, who is now in the South making speeches in favor of pr$" lecting Slavery io the Territories T Tbe campaign ia nearly over, aod the contest is narrowed down to Lincoln and Ureckinridge. Ne other candidates have a shadow ol a chance. The correct understanding by Republi can of the true intents and purposes of the leaders of the Democratic party, to perpet uate and extend Slavery, haa been fully confirmed by this campaign. Tbe Douglas portion of the Democracy never would ad mit that such was the purpose of the party. They went to Charleston expecting to nom inate Douglas. They came away without Douglas, but with a tremendous flea io theirear. They got Douglas at Baltimore in a divided Convention, and three South ern men of extreme views were applied to, as a candidate for Vice President. John son accepted the right man for the roan a gers, but an unfortunate one for winning votea in the North. The people of tbe North are not ready to subscribe to the doctrine that "Capital should own its la bor" ; neither do they believe that North ern mechanics are "slaves" in their work shop. There are men in the Douglas ranks who cannot coincide with Johnson's preference for a arorq ratqer than a white ma in the Presidential chair. True men cannot be made to vote for a man who has auch a preference. Johnson' choice of a r . t ? j . ... ncyro lor i resiaent nas "6qoelcaed oat all the pith of the charge of Negrq Equal ity made against Republicans by Douglaa Democrat). Stuck-up Democrats, who ape aristoers cy and lick the boots of slaveholders, may applaud wheo Johnson says he would ra ther see one of his negroes President than Abe Lincoln, but booest, well meaning men cannot vote that way. Strange as it may seem Northern Democracy does em brace a set of toadies who crawl upon their knees to slavery, thst they may be smiled upon by aristocracy, and are yet vile enough to presume to have a sympathy with Northern freemen. Such char acters should be spurned by every honest voter of the North. When each eha ac ters support Douglas and Johnson it is time for independent, working men, to see which way they are drifting. To "hurrah for Douglas" may serve to keep npthe courage, but is not a rallying cry for an effective party in this campaign. Men who Vote for Douglas will only throw their votes away, Jf ih.ey think they are voting rr a Popular Sovereignty candidate, they may be deceived. Mr Douglas has left Popular Sovereignty to the Supreme Court, and so recently as October 24th, leCO.ina speech at Memphis, said that property in the Territories, whether that property consisted of horses, cattle or SLAVES "SHOULD BE VIGOROUSLY AND SACREDLY PROTECTED BY GOVERNMENT." OWL. A Telling Fact It is worthy of recollection, in eoosection with the Kansas development of Douglas participation in the Lecorapton fraud, that he was resdy to advocate and support it I in the Senate, in the modified form of the i the English swiodlo, (as his roost intimate friends did do io the House, and was only kept from it by Ike indignant protestations ef the murdered Brodorick, who threatened to expose and denounce hia perfidy, if he thus abandoned hi position. This, with the fact that his vote was not needed to pass it through the Senate, while the requisite votes of his warmest, admirers in the llonse were promptly given for it, is strong corroborative testimony of Douglas' williagness to see that fraud earricd out. Volcanic Remain. The Toledo Blade says: "Since the State elections, the volcanie action of Ves uvius Johnson has ceased. lie has gone South, probably to retire with hia beloved "Monongahela," to the shades and sweet of plantation, life. Io one of his last erup tion, at IndianapoIs.be uttered the follow log words to the people. "You must begin with your constables, and go ap to your chief magistracy, and plsce your foot on every roan's neck who dares to say be will interfere with slavery . ... anywnerei' What a blessing that such a mrater is ex linen reac to his ashes, tie ean now plsce his foot on the neck of bis negroes at home, in quiet enjoyment, while Old A!j goes -ap to tbe chief msgittraey." CT The New York Post ssys: "There is an eld story whieS represents a couple of ssgacious cronies discoursing on the pro bsble principle which guided Adam in tbe names he gave to animals. One ataerted that bo did not aee why he called a lion by the name of lion. "Why," replied the other "that is simple enough to me, He called it a lion because it looked like a lion!" We doubt if the Democratic party could now get U appellation eti audi a principle of naming. Nobody would think of calling it a Democratie party beeaute it looks like a Democratic party. a Tbey Leva th Irlshi The Deroocrscy have repeated I v nominated Irishmen to eoncilitate the Irish votes, and then beaten their own nomin-e o eoncilitate the Know.

A cogent remonstrance has bn presen ted to this government against the diver. ion of the Brooklyn and vessels of war from the protection of the Panama route to other purposes. The remonstrance is from a responsible aeurce and has been induced by the recent occurences at Panama, as w ell as by rival and conflicting interests existing with respect to the Panama R R aud the proposed Communication at Chiriqui. Tbe remonstrants urge as a grest subject ef complaint and of humiliation of Americana that tbe Panama route over which there is so much travel and transportation of treasure is left to the protection of British men of war, though the New Grenadi an treaty imposes snch duly on the United States, - A SOUTHERN PLOT. LonsviLtc, Oct 30. This morning's Journal says remarkably shrewd and well informed politicians recently from Washington state, that some principal Breckinridge leaders from the South, including Wigfsll of Texas, and Judge Meek of Alabama, agreed upon last Thursday upon a plan of action in cafe of Lincoln's election, via: South Carolina within 30 days afur the elrctiou would declare herstlf independ ent, and send an ambassador to Washing on asking recognition; if recognised, other Southern States w oulJ follow suit, and after a sufficient number of States have been thus recognised, a Southern Con fed eraey would be formed.

Yancey killed hia uncle, Dr. Farle, of South Carolina, haa heeo stated in general terms, but the details have not lieeo given. Dr. Farle lived one mile and a half west of Greenville, where his widow still resides, if alive. A few hundred jards distant is an old fidd, sometimes ued for practicing ou horseback but more frequeutly rsorled to as a muster ground Tiiis was the occasion of a drill muster, when Dr. FarU'a son, about ten. years old, went to tbe ground, as all boy ef to do; aud during their wheeling aod turning, the boy got in the way. Yancey ordered hin get out of the way, but the bovin his cohesion, got more and more in the way, whe'enpon Yancy lasbed him most unmercifully with a horse-whip. Dr. Farle was not at borne; but on returning home through town, a friend told him how cruelly Yaney bad treated his son. Yan. cy told him that the boy had been very insolent, and that he had alapeti hisjawa. Dr. Far I replied that he had serf ed him right. When Dr. Farle reached home aod learned the facts, and found that Yaojy had lied to him, be ret.iru.ed to Greenville in search of him.

Dr. Farle found Yancy on Dc Crittenden's porch, and in marching -jpon. bim, was shot down by Yancy witli a pistol. Tiiese are the facts, as we have them, from one barn and reared in that vicinity..

In the latter State, which seemed certain for Douglas, the treachery of his leaders has iaterred, and Douglas himself now counsel his friends to give their aid to the Bell Everett movement.
