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- <-auso it re-aftirined the Cincinnati Plat 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 ted in both'instances the directly antago nistic pisiform* which they required hiru to ascend ! It is averred in hohnlf of so politician*, that they did not •■true the Cincinnati Platform squatter aovereignty, but that become convinced thul it upheld that here sy, they repudiate and renounce it. This claim, however, cannot he set up for Mr. Breckinridge, lie declared, in 1856, in the most positivo manner, that he under stood it a* demanding for tho people of the Territories the right to admit or exclude >Uvery while in their Territorial condition. Here is what ho *aid : I happened to he in Congress .when tho Nebraska bill passed, and gave it my voice -ote, and because it did vvliat it did, It acknowledged the right of the Peo ple of the Territory to settle the question tor themselves! and not because 1 supposed, hat 1 do not now believe, that it legislated slavery into the Territory.

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.

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 ing tho policy of the Standard, now rofuars express a preference for either Douglas Breckinridge, and the Democratic press 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 made several Douglas speeches. Ed. U. Haywood, E«q., otio of the Democratic Electora lor thu Slate at large, has taken ground for Douglas; and Henry W, Miller, Esq., thu ablest Elector on the tickut, being disposed to go tor Douglas, and finding that there was dissatisfaction at his taking that course, has declined to continue on the Electoral ticket. All these indications portend that there Will ho a tierce und damaging light between tbn Douglas und Breckinridge factious us soon as tho August elections are over, and they fuel ol liberty to "pitch into” each other.
