Hon. JahnG. Breckinridge, the accedera’
candidate for tho Presidency, npprar* to
have the happy faculty of adapting hitnaelf
to any circumstances by which he may bo
surrounded. In 1856, ho ran upon the Cin
cinnati Platform, which ho heartily endors
ed and defended. In 1860, ho is the can
didate of a faction who disrupted the Demo
cratic party nnd seceded nt Charleston be-

form pure nnd simple ! The ladder by which
Mr. Breckinridge ascended to the Vice-
Presidency in 185C, he contemptuously
kick* front under him in I860 when he as
pires to the higher position of the Presi
dency. No one, of course, is verdant
enough to believe that Mr. Breckinridge
now.spurns what he hugged to his boaom
in 1850, from any real detestation of its ini
quity, or any prcacul conviction that bis
stepping-atune to power in 185G was a ‘‘vile
ineuna” which ho cannot honorably u*e
any longer; but it is apparent that ho left
the whole matter to tho only parlies that
would then take him for tho Vice-I'ie*iden-
cy, and now for the Presidency, add accep

This was the doetrine of hie party in 1856,

cumulative proof of his accommodating dis

August election any meetings to appoint
delegates to a Slate Convention, they are
beautifully split up mid divided at to Doug
las or Breckinridge. The Raleigh Stand
ard, the central and leading Democratic
organ of the State, refuses to expreys a
preference, declaring that it* present policy
is to "save the State ticket.' 1 It* editor,
however, was a delegate to Baltimore, refu
sed to secede, and supported Douglas
throughout. No doubt be will hoist the
Douglas flag as soon ns tho August election
is over. A number of the other Democratic
presses of lh" Hiuto follow the Standard's
cautious example, but a lew aru not willing
to be so trammelled. The Newborn Pro
gress lias declared lor Douglas, and several
Democratic papers for Breckinridge. Gov.
Ellis, the Democratic nominee for re-clrc-
tion, was very bitter in denouncing the
xcciduM alter tho split at Charleston, Buy
ing that it wa* a happy riddance for tho
Democratic patty, aud ho hoped they would
never come back ! He too, however, adopt

of the State appear to be well content to
let him occupy this equivocal position. He
will of course declare for Douglas a* soon
as the election is over. D. K. McRae, F.«q.,
his independent Democratic opponent two
years ago, is c candidate for tho Senate in
a strong Dougin* county, und bus already

ground for Douglas; and Henry W, Miller,

there was dissatisfaction at his taking that

The "Mormons" are willing to buy upon

Therefore we propose that the joint resolu-

tatives from Louisiana is a Douglas man
so that tbe State will be divided if the elec

"Well, 1 saw (hat cat to-night,"
"A reul, live cat ?’’
"Y’es, uml tin immense cat ut that, a
monstrous cut. But you ehull hear. You

"That’s right," exclaimed Mrs. Jenks,

"Un my arrival nt the Hall, 1 wns imme
diately seized hy four dozjn smart fellows,
und taken upon tlio roof ol tho building.
Hero I wns tongue-tied and compelled l<»
answer about u hundred questions, all hav-
a direct bearing on the setauco of astron-
‘•YS'lint a queer proceeding," exclaimed
Mr*. Jenks.
"How I answered thu questions must
ever remain, I suppose, a mystery to niv-
*'■11—certain it in, however, 1 did answer
every one—although I did not know till to
night, there's ■ dipper, end a chair, and u
lour horsii team, and i don’t know what
cite, in thu «ky. Is it nut a pily lhat this,
.^/autiful sciencu is so sadly neglected !"
“Well, what then ?"
•‘Why, tho next question ia too abatirJ
to bo repealed."
“What was it?"
"They wauled to know whether I took
a newspaper, and If ao, how much 1 owed
the printer. Fortunately, I had just then
paid my subscription, otherwise I must
have been rejected, as no man can become
an Odd Fellow who owes a cent to iho
printer."
"Well, I never!" exclaimed Mr*. Jenks,
‘‘what an influence lhu*u newspapers do
exert, to be sure."
"Exactly, But scarcely bad I answered
these queries satisfactorily, when an im
mense damn shot up, and wo a* quickly
shot down."
"What—through Iho roof?"
"l)h no ! 1 suppose wo took tbe staire ;
but I w*s mo securely bound and tongue-
tied, l hardly know how wn got dewn.
Tha, apartment into which l was ushered
was pitch dark, and a strong odor of brim
stone pervaded to room."
"ilmnrtono, my doar?"
"Ye* it must have been brimstone, for
nothing else could have produced auch a
striking senostion."
"Well, of oil tilings."
"Then began tho roar of artillery, wills
an occasional volley of small arms. In
thn midst of tho tumuli, 1 heard a low,
awcit voice, chnnting u hymn of paace.
‘•Man shall lovo his follow," sang thia an
gel—"Cruel war shull lie waged no more-—
peace shall reign, despotism shall perish,
industry meet its reward, charity fill tb»
hearts uf men." When this happy singe*

"How very odd.”
"Yes, but just like those Odd Fellows,

"Well, my dear !”
"Why, then, lights wero procured, and L
