The Candidates.—In no part of the
South will the nomination of Breckinridge
and Lane be received with greater enthu
siasm than in this city and State. The
gallant and noble Kentuckian has always
been a favorite with our people of all par
ties and classes. Besides the great na
tural and geographical ties which have al
ways united Kentucky and Louisiana, the
character of Breckinridge combines, in
brilliant harmony, those qualities which
are especially admired and esteemed by
our people. Youth, ardor, progressiveness,
energy, expansiveness of views and ideas,
the highest ehivalry and gallantry, are
in John C. Breckinridge most happily
blended with great self-control, inflexible
firmness, calm wisdom und spotless integ
rity.
Such a man can never fail to take a
strong bold upon the affections and confi
dence of our people. Nor are they indif- '
fereut to the claims of a high lineage, of ;
an ancestry whose virtues have been trans- i
mitted and are so nobly represented in the
.scion of a family so distinguished for ge- 1
nius, for patriotism, and for public ser- 1
vices. The grandson of the mover of the 1
resolutions of 179S and 1799, who basso i
faithfully adhered to and so brilliantly
maintained the great doctrines of that me‘
morable platform of the Democracy and
second Declaration of Independence, must
ever have prominent claims upon the sup
port of the South—indeed, of the whole i
Union. s
Scarcely forty years of age, John C.
Breckinridge has attained a position iu
this Republic wbicb few indeed have ever
leached, at the most advanced period of c
life and of public service. He has filled (
the most responsible stations, has partici- t
paled in the most active and exciting trans
actions. has borne a prominent part in all
the political events of his day, has been a 1
strict and earnest partisan, has ever been i
outspoken and emphatic in all his political *]
utterances, and yet not a word has ever (
been uttered or written against his honor
and integrity as a man—his firmness and P
consistency as a politician, or his fidelity
and sincerity as a patriot.—[New Orleans

RICHARD H. JOHNSON,
HENRY M. RECTOR.
The Canvass in Prairie County.—
The canvass for Representative and the
various county offices, opened at Clear
Lake on the 25th ult., and closes to-day
at Brownsville. Col. John C. Davie, the
democratic candidate for Representative,
has not been enabled, thus far, to meet his
competitors, Messrs. Quise.nberry and
Thomason, on the stump. Col. Davie is
absent in Tennessee, whither he had gone
before the canvass opened, with the ex
pectation of returning in time to fill the
appointments which had been agreed upon
between the candidates for Representa
tive. The continued illness of Mrs. Davie
is sufficient excuse for the absence of the
Colonel. A man who would not respect
the sacred ties of his household, and at
tend to those who have been smitten with
disease, would certainly be unworthy of
the support of the people. That Col. Jno.
C. Davie possesses superior qualifications
for the position of Representative over
either of his opponents, those who know
them all, will readily admit. '
We heard Messrs. Thomason and
Quisenberry at Atlanta on Saturday
last. They consumed their time, princi
pally, in showing up each others inconsis
tencies. Col. Thomason acknowledges
himself an Old-Line Whig, but would not
take ground as to who he would support
for the Presidency. He was for the safest
man, but took good core not to tell who h<
thought that man was. Mr Quisenber
by, as usual, had a good deal to suy He
endeavors to create the impression that the
race is between him and Col. Davie, and
that Col Thomason is “not in the race.”
1^., like Col. Thomason, is mum upon the
Presidential question. He is for a good
man, but didn't tell who he was. Our ,
opinion is that Col. Thomason will vote ■
for Bell and Everett, and that Mr. Quis- <
enberry, should he be elected, (but there
s no probability of that) would vote for
Sreckenridge and Lane, if defeated he too
vill go for Bell and Everett. It is well I
tnough, with public men especially, to
dace them in that position to which they
nost closely assiraiiate; therefore, we
dace the two gentlemen just where we 1
hink they will stand, judging from their 1
ixpressions on the stump. If we are mis- !
aken in our conclusions, we have the con
solation of knowing that others coincide ^
with us in the premises. t
After the conclusion of Mr Quisen
ierry’s speech, B. F. Ford, Esq , read
i letter from Col. Davie, and made a
c
hort, but very appropriate speech, which ,
vas well received by the audience. d
We have an abiding confidence that the t
emocracy of Prairie county will stand by
Jol. Davie and elect him their Kepresen- j
itive on the 6th of next month. His ad- 0
ress to the people contains more intrinsic ti
lerit and sets forth a more reliubfe policy n
ian all we have heard from his opponents. c
’he attacks upon it have reuounded with
;arful effect upon the heads of his com
etitors. T
- --—- B
8£if” Hon. T. C. Hindman reached j'
[elena on the 1st iust.
Mr. Everett's Record. — We invite
lie perusal of an article on our first page,
Headed. “Something about .Mr. Everett—
.Men of the South, Read.'" That Mr. Ev
erett was a freesmler in 1839, no one ac
quainted with his record will deny; and
Ins recantation of such principles is, up to
the present time unknown. In 13.57-8,
Mr. Everett was an admirer of the infa
mous Sumner. After Sumner had made
his abusive speech in the Senate against
the venerable Butler, of Sputh Carolina,
then absent from the Senate, and had been
chastised by Brooks, Sumner’s fiiends at
Boston took up a collection for the benefit
of the disgraced Senator. In this docu
ment they expressed a “lively gratitude
for his (Sumner’*) dauntless courage in
defence of freedom /” The name of Ed
ward Everett heads the list, thus endors
ing the vile assault of Sumner upon the
South. Can Southern men vole for such
a man for the Vice Presidency?
—--— -
Hon. E R. Waters.—The Old Line
Democrat, of the 21st ult., says “this gen
tleman, who sometime since announced
himself as an independent candidate for
Governor, and who has been, for the past
few days, sojourning in our city, requests
us to say that, in view of the present dis
turbed and unfavorable condition of politi
cal affairs in the State, he has concluded,
after consultation with his friends, to de
cline, and therefore withdraws from the
field, and resigns in favor of him only for
whom a majority of the people shall see
fit to cast their votes at the ballot box.”
Hon. Benjamin Fitzpatrick de
clines to lend his name to the Douglasites
as a candidate for the Vice Presidency on
their ticket. Mis letter of declination was
written on the 25th, and immediately
thereafter the Douglasites from the South
met together and recommended Gov.
Herschel V. Johnson, of Georgia, to
the Douglas committee empowered to fill
vacancies, who unanimously of course,
nominated Gov. Johnson in place of Sen
ainr l?i17nntrir.lr.
--
Breckinridge and Lane. — This is a
ticket says the Montgomery Advertiser,
that every State-Rights man can cheerful
ly support. Eloquence, genius and states
manship—wisdom, courage and fidelity—
these are the claims the nominees possess
to the suffrages of the people. Kentucky,
the first of the new States admitted into
the Union; Oregon—the last—unite to
offer candidates whose success aione wilt
perpetuate it.
Breckinridge and Lane—Through
out every section of the Union the nomi
nations of Breckinridge and Lane are
received with demonstrations of joy and
satisfaction. This feeling, it wa3 thought,
would be confined to the South ; but not
so. In many of the Northern States a ri
valry exists between the friends of Doug
las and Breckinridge as to which party
can get up the largest meetings. Thus
far, but a meagre support has been tender
ed Douglas and Johnson, and before the
election the idea of a Douglas ticket in
Arkansas will be among the things of the*
past. Squatter sovereignty has but few
friends in our Crystal State, and right
proud are we of it.
Hon. W. C. Bevens.—This gentle
man, who is the present Judge of the
Third Judicial Circuit, and who has here
tofore declined a re-election, we are pleas
ed to learn, has consented that his name
may be used for re-election. He has
made nn excellent Judge, and like Clen
denin of our own Circuit, (the 5tli) will
be elected without opposition.

Washington, June zo.—n. large Douy.
accompanied by a band of music, proceed
ed to-night to the residence of Mr. Breck
inridge, and having serenaded him, he, in
response to repealed ctrlls, appeared, say
ing he felt deeply this manifestation of
friendly regard, and accepted it as an ap
proval of the proceedings at Baltimore, by
which the National Democratic Conven
tion presented his name and that of his
gallant and honored friend, Gen. Lane,
for President and Vice-President of the
United States.
Senator Davis followed in an eloquent
strain, of the personal and public ehara-e
ter of Breckinridge and Lane. The De
mocracy was not the party which seeks
fcr spoils, or rests itself upon the claims
of men. When Mr. Van Buren proved
untrue, they cast him off as a diseased
member and when, at a more recent pe
riod, another Democrat proved recreant, it
remained for the party, faithful to its
institutions, to separate him also from the
body.
He vindicated the Convention that nom
inated Breckinridge. Let spoilsmen go
where inclination leads them. The De
mocracy honor Mr. Buchanan for all he
has doue, and cast the complaints of office
seekers to the winds. (Laughter.)
He spoke of the Constitution, State
Rights, justice and fraternity, as the prin
ciples under which Breckinridge and Lane
will be elected. (Applause.)
Mr. Hogan, of Kentucky, made some
humorous remarks.
The procession proceeded to Brown’s
Hotel, where an immense crowd had pre
viously gathered. Mr. Lane, after the
performance of an air, appeared and ten
dered his thanks to the assembly for this
manifestation of their kindness.
He was proud of the nominee of the
Baltimore Convention; he was a man
whom he had long known on the battle
field and in the councils of the nation, and
he fell deeply honored in being placed on
the same ticket with him. He (Lane)
accepted the nomination of the Natioual
Democracy assembled at Baltimore, and.
with them, believed in the equality and
rights of the States under the Constitution.
Yancey followed, saying that the Conven
tion was in a crisis, from which it is the
duty of the Democracy to retrieve it. He
spoke at considerable length, and was
frequently applauded. The demonstration
continued beyond midnight.

From the Jacksonport Herald, 7th inst.J
Messrs. Hector and Johnson at Jackson
port—The Discussion. i
On Tuesday last, these gentlemen, in
pursuance of previous appointment, met in
debate at this place. Though the day was
oppresively warm, quite a respectable
audience assembled at the Presbyterian
church to hear the debate. I he candi
dates, though raised in this State and
identified in her interest by a residence
from early boyhood, had not before visited
this section, and many of our citizens em
braced the opportunity to see them and
extend to them a cordial hand of friend
ship before the speaking commenced.
The debate was opened by Col. John
son. He occupied the stand for about two
hours. Col. J. presents the appearance
of a good natured, companionable gentle
man, who had never suffered from the
cares of State and the weight of responsi
bility.
The Col. evidently has but little experi
ence in public speaking, and evinced on
this occasion neither the skill of a deba
ter or the acquirement^ of a statesman.
Having edited the central organ for a se
ries of years, and possessing every oppor
tunity that the heart could wish to make
himself acquainted with the rninutia of
State politics, the people anticipated an
address from him that would both entertain
and edify. But in this they were disap
pointed. His speech was a sort of re
hash of his address to the people of the
State. He threw no additional light upon
the topics of discussion. He was, how
ever. particular to convince his audience
that he was for carrying out Gov. Con
way’s bank policy, which sounded much
like he was trying to borrow some of his
Excellency’s popularity.
When Judge Rector rose to reply to his
competitor, he was greeted with rounds of
applause. The sympathies of the audi
ence were with him; they also beheld in
him a man of prepossessing appearance,
well calculated to raise public expectation.
Judge Rector showed to his andierrce that
he was no ordinary man. As a debater
his style was terse, nervous and impres
sive, in speech fluent, and in action ener
getic, and many in the audience that had
lulled into repose by the monotones of his
competitor, were suddenly awoke into life
fioru nnH imnrooQivp m» nnor nf
J - -J *
Judge Rector, who entertained them in a
most interesting speech for two hours long
We would do injustice to Judge Rector if
we undertook to report his speech on this
occasion, therefore we will give but a syn
opsis of portions of his address, in which the
public feel a deep solicitude.
The Judge said that he had been solici
ted to become a candidate for Governor
by many Democrats from various parts of
the State, and that he consented to accept
the position, when he ascertained the deep
sealed and general dissatisfaction which
prevailed in the ranks of the Democratic
party to the action of the late State Con
vention, in presenting his competitor as its
nominee; that it was known and a well
ascertained fact that his competitor was
but a nominee of a minority ; that the vote
of Van Buren county, which was cast un
der a pretended proxy, was conceded by
his competitor to be a forgery and a swin
dle, that of Benton was cast for him also,
as he clearly demonstrated by a delegate
who claimed their appointment under a
meeting of thirty-five men, in which only
ten or twelve participated, while the votes
of delegates appointed by a mass meeting
composed of some four or five hundred
Democrats, held in the same county after
due notice was given, were cast aside and
disregarded, and the parties that cast the
votes of Lawrence and Qreen ignored the
instructions under which they acted.—
Judge Rector argued that these fraudulent
acts of the convention have vitiated and
made void its proceedings so far as its ac
tion in nominating his competitor was
concerned, and that the same was not
binding upon the Democracy of the State,
more especially as his competitor had de
clined to submit his claims to another con
vention.
He instanced the example of Gov. Con
way, who, in 1843, was nominated by the
Stale Convention, but the complaints
against the action of the convention were
loud and indignant, and in deflerence to
nnhlir. nnmmn. (»nv. Cnntvav HenlinpH
and submitted to the call of another con
vention—an example worthy of imitation
by his competitor who particularly profess
ed to be the humble follower of Gov. Con
way. The arguments of Judge Rector
were conclusive and irresistible, that the
nomination of his competitor was not bind
ing on the democracy of Arkansas.
BANK POLICY — REAL ESTATE BANK.
Judge Rector next expressed himself in
regard to the true policy of the Slate for
the settlement of the debts due by the
State on account of the Real Estate and
State Banks. He regards it as advisable;
first, that the next general assembly of
this State empower the receiver of the as
sets of the bank to receive from the stock
holders, in four annual installments, such
amount or deficit as the State will have to
pay for them on account of the bonds. He
remarked that after applying the assets in
the hands of the receiver, to the payment
of the outstanding bonds, there will be,
according to an estimate made by Mr.
Peay, the receiver, an outstanding deficit,
or loss of seventy per cent on the stock,
amounting in the aggregate to one million
four hundred thousand dollars, and that
such stockholders who do not by October,
1860, pay up their deficits be proceeded
against in chancery for the foreclosure of
he mortgages taken by the State upon
their bonds; secondly, he proposed that if
the suggestion cannot be carried out, rath
sr than levy a tax upon the people for their
real estate debts, that we pay the bonds in
abroad stock ; for instance in slock of the
Memphis Railroad, and that the State is
sue said company new bonds for those ta
ren up in this way—that is for the priwi
>al of the old bonds, with the coupons at
ached for the interest—the coupons bear
ng no interest. The interest on the new j
londs to be paid by the State, with theas
lets belonging to said bank, including those
o be collected from the mortgages, the
abroad company paying the principal of i
he bonds when they falidue.
THE STATE BANK.
Judge Rector stated the debt fof which
he State was liable on account of that
>ank, to be now one million two hundred
nd fifty-four thousand dollars, which will
taiure in 1868 and 1888. He proposes ^
that this debt remain as it is, until it be
comes due. His reasons for which are,
that then our population and wealth, will
be so materially enhanced as to make its
payments less burthensome to the people
than to pay it at the time, as Col. Johnson
proposed.
Judge Rector scorns every thing like
repudiation, or any measure that would
lead to that result; lie believes that il a
proper and wise policy were adopted that
an immediate and a useless taxation could
be avoided ; the liability of the State be
provided for and her crediland honor sav
ed untarnished.
His competitor, Col. Johnson, on the
other hand, proposes that the Real Estate
Bank institute proceedings to foreclose the
mortgages, and rejects the proposition to
permit the stockholders to pay without
suits. He makes the astounding assertion,
that if elected Governor,} he can collect
the money from the mortgaged bonds, soon
enough to pay off the bonds ; that is to
say, that he can collect the money the same
day he institutes the suit.
As regards national politics both can
didates agree, both avow themselves to be
States-rights Democrats, and of course,
have no sympathy or affinity with thatdis
organizer S. A. Douglas.
We were glad to witness that the dis
cussion was conducted with the utmost
good feeling between the candidates. The
audience paid good attention to the spea
kers during the five hours the debate last
ed, and the assemblage dispersed in good
order and with good feeling, the friends of
Rector feeling good in particular, as they
feel confident that Jacksou will give him
an overwhelming majority.

To Vote forDouolas is Equivalent
to Supporting Bell.—The Nashville
Union truthfully remarks that every v«e
given for Douglas is equivalent to voting
for Bell. The issue is now made up—it
is restricted to Breckinridge and Lincoln.
It is utterly impossible for Douglas to ob
tain a single Southern electoral vote, con
consequently every vote cast for him is
adding that much strength to Bell and
Everett. It is certainly a vote either
thrown away or given indirectly to Lin
coln. The Union says: "Every Demo
crat in Tennessee who casts a vole for Mr.
Doucdas lakes one from Mr. Breckinridce.
and thus indirectly gives a vote to Mr.
Bell, as Mr. Bell has by this means one
vole less to get to beat Breckinridge. If
there is a Democrat in Tennessee who be
lieves that the success of John Bell in
Tennessee is preferable to that of Mr.
Breckinridge he ought to vote directly for
Mr. Beil, as he will thus not only take
one vote from Mr. Breckinridge, but also
give one to Mr. Bell, and in that way
count two for the candidate of the Ignor
ers.”—[Memphis Avalanche.
Seditious Placard in Ireland.—
The following placards was lately posted
through different parts of Longford:—
“Irishman do not intend to be put down or
bullied over by the placards of English
cut-throat Saxons, for we will join the
Pope’s army, despite all their infernal
doggings! Let that Saxon look out, foi
John Bull will shortly get harder bones tc
pick than ever he had to pick before. The
man that wrote this will be in Italy befort
a week, and back in arms on the heights
of Ballimanuck before fifty-two weeks.—
(Signed) Napoleon III." It is needless
to say that the Government organs pro
nounce the foregoing " extremely sedi
tious.”
The Richmond Enquirer,places at the head
of its leading column the names of Breckin
ridge and Lane, and announces “A grand
Mass Meeting of those who approve of the
Virginia and the other Southern delegations
at Baltimore.”
