FOR PRESIDENT.
JOHN BELL of Tennessee.
FOR VIOB-PBEBIDEIPR
Edward Everett of Mass.
Breckinridge Endorses Everett.
X<etBO supporter of Breckinridge in
all the South awe ever again to whis
per a word against the soundness, relia
bility and patriotism of Edward Ever-
.ett—-for Breckinridge himself has most
ftdly, thoroughly and triumphantly en
dorsed him. .. , „
We have before us the speech ot
John C. Breckinridge, delivered in the
Hall of the Kentucky House of Repre
sentatives, at Frankfort, December 21st
1859—six months ago—by invitation of
the Democratic Legislature of his State.
After boasting of the sounduess of the
Northern Democracy on the slavery
question, Mr. Breckinridge adds:
“There is another element at the
North’ not large, but noble and true. It
consists of the scattered cohorts of the
old Whig parly, of men like Everett,
Choate, and their associates, whose con
servatism culture and patriotism rebelled
against the republican alliance. Besides
these, there are many thousands in the
Northern States who seldom attend the polls
and whose voices have not been beard
amidst the clamors that surround them.
To all these let us appeal; let us sol
emnly demand a general revolt of the
virtue and loyalty of the country
against the pernicious principles that
threaten its safety, ana when all the
forces are arrayed in their proper ranks
we shall he able to see what remains to
hope or fear.”
There are Breckinridge’s own words,
testifying that Everett is a “noble and
true” - patriot, whose “conservatism,
culture and patriotism rebelled against
the Republican alliance I” Ana yet
some of Breckinridge’s whipper-snap
per, simpletonian supporters in the
South, are swearing that Everett is an
Abolitionist, unworthy of the counte
nance and support of Southern men 1
Keep Breckinridge’s endorsement of
Everett before the people.—Rick. Whig.

How will the Legislature got
As it is probable that neither ono of
the three electoral tickets in Georgia
will receive a majority of all the votes,
and consequently the Legislature may
have to cast the vote of the State, it be
comes a.matter of considerable inter
est to the people to know the relative
strength of the candidates in that body.
There are three hundred undone mem.
bers of the General Assembly.; one
hundred and thirty two Senators and
ono hundred and sixty-nine Represen
tatives; Democrats two hundred and
seventeen, and Oppoeition eighty-four.
A majority of the members is neces
sary to a ohoioe, and the question is,
how many of the Democrats are for
Douglas, and how many of the Opposi
tion for Breckinridge. The Constitution
alist has requested its friends in the sev
eral counties to inform it how the mem
bers stand. We hope it may be ascer
tained; that the members will now
make their choice upon principle, and
not wait until they go to Milledgeville
to juggle and bargain, andtraflick with
our rights.
Georgia for Breckinridge instead of
Douglas.
We stated last week, upon the author
ity of the Southerner, that Gov. Brown
intended to support Douglas; but a cor
respondent, writing from Marietta to
one of our exchanges, wo forget which,
says his excellency passed through that
place a few days ago, and declared*his
preference for Breckinridge. So Geor
gia may bo put down for that candidate,
by at least “thirty thousand majority.”
We are glad Gov. Brown has at last tak
en position, for the state of suspense in
which the people have been for weeks
past, as to how they should vote, was
perfect agony itself.
We presume there will not now bo a
Douglas ticket in Georgia, and Gov
Johnson will withdraw his name from
tho contest. •
[Eastern
of the Boston
BrecKenridge, the nominee
of tho seceders for the Presidency, in a
speech delivered only six months ago,
at Frankfort Ky., on the 21st of Decem
ber, 1859, pronounced Edword Everett
“ noble and true.”
Robert Toombs, United States Sena
tor from Georgia, and a supporter of
Breckinridge and Lane, in a speech de
livered at Warrenton, on the 25th of
this month, admitted that John Bell was
as sound as himself.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, the lead
ing Douglas paper in Georgia, and the
manufacturer and director of Douglas
sentiment in the State, in its issue of
the 18th of July, said: “With the Su
preme Court to protect, and a Federal
Administration to enforce the decisions
of the Court,whether its power be wield
ed by Mr. Bell, or Mr. Dduglas, th e
rights of the Slaveholder will be sefe in the
Union.”
Now, how dare you to say the nomi
nees of the Constitutional Union party
are unsound 1 It is the force of habit,
but shame, if you have any, should
check you. We know you have been
trained to it, and “it is hard to learn old
dogs nows trioks,” but you are needed
now to hunt each other down.
What we have said we mean not for
the people, but for those little “scene
shifters,” that may be found everywhere
deceiving honest people, and abusing
patriots because they are told to do so.

Thos. Witten, of Lee county, Va..
went to Bellevue, Ohio, a few days
since, to bring home his runaway slave,
Manfred, who had written three letters
to his master, begging to be taken
' ome. An account says:
Arriving in Bellevue, accompanied by
friend, they found Manfred ready to
tart at any moment for “Old Virginia,"
though a hotel keeper in the town seem
ed determined that such a horrible sin
should not be committed. In order to
prevent it, he kidnapped the boy and
ran him six or eight miles into the coun
try and concealed him. Mr. Witten
hnd resolved to have no more to do with
the business, and was about starting
home, when Manfred, having escaped
from his thievish Abolition captor, made
his appearance, begged to go with his
master, and is now at work on Mr. Wit
ten’s plantation, in Lee county, Va.,
“as happy as tho day is long.” Man
fred states that he had much rather live
in a slave State as a slave, than in a free
State as a free negro.
Athens, July 23, I860.
Editor Chronicle do Sentinel;—1 have
not, at Romo or elsewhere, used any
such language, or uttered such senti
ments, ns are imputed to me in your is
sue of tho 22d inst., copied from the
Rome Southerner.
Upon the subject of tho Presidential
election, I iiavo not said or written a
word with any expectation that it would
be repealed or printed. -
Since my return from New York, in
conversation I have said, in substance,
that in my opinion Mr, Douglas occu
pied about the same position in the
Democratic party at the North that Mr.
Breckinridge does at the South, mean
ing thereby that Mr. Douglas lute a ma
jority of the party at the North, and
that Mr. Breckinridge has a majority at
the South, and that, unless the unfortu
nate division, existing among the oppo
nents of thd*Black Republicans, can bo
healed, that there is great danger that
Lincoln will be elected.
I will not suppose that the Rome
Southerner, or its informant, intended
to misrepresent me, but that they were
misinformed, or have misinterpreted
my conversation.
Respectfully yours,
Asuuar Hull.

* Civnl War in Syria. -
Beirut, June 21, I860..
Zahleh has fallen 1 The lost strong
hold of the Christians haa been taken,
plundered and burnt, and its surviving
inhabitants are flying like sheep from
the wolves that are now on their track.
The Christian army has-been annihila
ted and the Christian power, wjiich has
for ages competed with the Druses, has
been crushed. The fleet lay quietly at
anchor in the harbor of Beirut, while
Zalileh was besieged, sacked and laid
in ruins—and the Consuls Generals,
who have hitherto been so potent and
mighty, have held daily and nightly
consultations in vain.
The Consuls were in secret conclave
all night, after the news of the sacking
of Zahleh was received, to devise ways
and means for the rescue of the survi
ving Christians of the country from
g eneral massacre. What they have
one has not transpired, but the butch
ery of the remainder of the one hun
dred and fifty thousand Christians is a
sad thing to contemplate. We had
hoped that the steamers of this week
would have brought authority from the
powers .that be to land marines for an
armed interference, but in this we were
disappointed. True, the Consuls were
instructed to stop tho war as soon as
possible, but no power was placed at
their disposal to conquer a peace.—
Moral suasion has not, in this barbarous
land, the influence it enjoys in more
civilized climes, and only an armed in
tervention can convince these blood
thirsty’ Druses that tho European powers
are in earnest.
The United States Consul has repeat
edly warned the Americans of their
danger, and informed them that a resi
dence in the mountains is no longer
safe. Many have come down. To-day
the mission at Beirut passed a vote re
questing ltev. Mr. Calhoun of Aleeip,
the President of the College at that
place, together with Mr. Bird, of Deiril
Kenir, to come to Beirut at once.
The Christians throughout this war
have been most cowardly, but the de
fence of Zahleh, the most warlike town
in Lebanon, was conducted with much
spirit. As an illustration of the man
ner in which the desperate forlorn
hope of the Christians behaved in this
last battle, in which about seven thous
and Druses and Arabs were engaged in
» the siege, I will refer to one case only
at present.
The Druses had gained the suburbs
of the town, and had succeeded in sot
ting firo to about a score of houses,
when the Christians rallied and drove
them out upon the plain. The Druses
were lod by a most ferocious and blood
thirsty chief, Kr.ngo el Arnad. In the
Christian army was a lad of fourteen
years of age, who determined to die in
defence of his home. lie rushed into
the ranks of the enemy, and shooting
the chief, fell pierced bv spears and bul
lets.
The chief was killed, and the little
hero shared his grave.
The destruction of Sidon has just
been reported. Two thousand and five
hundred Christians are said to have
been killed by Moslems and Druses.—
ThiS'intclIigcnce requires confirmation,
and is not generally credited.
The following despatch is of the same
date as tiie abovo letter:
Marseilles, Wednesday.—Advices
from Beirut to tho 21st ult., state that
the Druses, reinforced by hordes of
plundering Kurds and Bedouins, lind
attacked tho town of Kalileh, tho Inst
refuge of the Cliristiuus. Tho town
wnS' entirely burnt down, and 1,000
Christians were murdered. Dhcir el
Kamar, in consequence of the inhabi
tants having been unarmed, was plun
dered and deserted. Other acts of in
cendiarism, pillage and murder had
been perpetrated in the Anti-Lebanon.
It was said that tho children at the
school Mai aba la lmd been killed, not
withstanding that they were under the
protection of the French flag, and tho
French Consul had sent to withdraw
the children from tiie Ciltliolic colleges.
The Turkish military reinforcements
had not arrived at Beirut.
Organization.
The Lagrange Reporter suggests that
the State Convention, soon to assemble
in Milledgeville, in addition to the elec,
tors for the 8tate at large, and for the
Districts, appoint sub-Electors for each
county, with power and instruction to
appoint committee-men for each mali-
tia district to report on the progress of
the cause and to fulfill tho purposes
of perfect and thorough organizar
tion.
It strikes us that this suggestion is a
capital on®. Very few, comparatively,of
the voters are reached by the State and
District Electors, and tho consequence
is that thousands of men who intend to
do right are decieved and misled by de
signing demagogues, for the’ want of
light. Let those county electors and
committee-men be appointed, and dis
seminate light and truth, and the re
suit will be glorious. The people love
their country and in voting have no
otherolyeotinview than its welfare;
it is therefore important that they
should know whatris best to be done
and they will do it. Let us then thor
oughly organize and go to work.

A Mistake.—The Rome Southerner
is mistaken in attributing to us the
statement which we have seen copied
into several other papers, that “most of
of the Democratic leaders above this
place arc in favor of Douglas.” Wo
stated that we had been informed that
many of them wore. It is due to can
dor to state that we have since learnd
that some of them have “banked down”
and are now for Breckinridge. It is a
matter we do not personally know any
thing about at tnis time. We know
that during the Spring Courts, many of
the leaders with whom wo conversed
avowed their intention to support
Douglas. But "times change and men
change with them.” It is possible

tSB*We clip the following additional
from the New Orleans Crescent:
In the Austin Intelligencer of the 18th
we find the following statement of an
extraordinate; fire epidemic prevailing
recently in Texas:
Since we issued our extra, containing
intelligence of a terrible fire at Dallas
news has been received in confirmation
of it, and giving the particulars of many
other fires in Northern Texas, which
have destroyed vast amounts of proper
ty and beggared many families. By let
ters, and by an extrafrom the MoKinny
Messenger, we have information which
leaves no doubt of there being an or
ganized band of villains in the cotan-
try, who have regularly laid their
plans of arson and robbery, and by a
preconcerted and simultaneous effort
attempted to put their diabolical plans
into execution.
On Sunday, the 8th inst., about 2
o’clock p. m., the fire commenced in
Dallas, and in less than two hours every
building on the Western and Northern
sides of the square, and about one-half
of those on the Eastern side, "were en
tirely consumed. Every store in the
town, both hotels, the printing office,
and many very valuable buildings were
hurt to the ground. The loss is estima
ted at $400,000, on which there was on
ly about $100,000 insurance.
On the evening of the same day, and
about the same hour, the storehouse of
Mr. Dupre, at Ladonia, was destroyed
by fire, together with material for a new
building, etc. The loss is estimated at
$25,000.
On the same day and hour tho store
of James M. Smoot, at Pilot Point, Den
ton county, was burnt up, together witli
some $2,000 in money, making a loss of
$10,000
At the same time the stores of J. M.
Smoot, of Jacobs, and of Benge & Tur
ner, with their heavy stocks of merchan
dise, were consumed. The loss exceeds
$10,000.
The dwellings of J. J. Eakins and Si
las Leonard, about one and a half miles
from Dallas, were consumed by fire with
everything in them.
At about the same time that the town
of Dallas was fired', a fire broke out in
Waxahatchie, which was fortunately
discovered and extinguished before
much damage was done.
To all Roval Arch Masons.—On
Thursday evening last, a thief was com
mitted to the calaooose by C. VanCamp-
en, of the police, and on his person was
found a gold fob chain, bearing the
key-stone of a Royal Arch Mason,
which opens os a locket, with engrav
ings on four sides. It is in possession
of Mr. Jackson, at the calaboose, where
the owner can recover it- by describing
it and paying for this advertisement.
Tbe name of the owner on the soal

however, are the words, “Gerard Royal

Douglas Opposed to Slavery and in
favor of Emancipation.
We have always contended, remarks
the Montgomery Advertiser, that the
squatter Sovereignty policy of Douglas
grew out of opposition to slavery; for
on no other ground coultl this insidious
and unconstitutional measure of slavery
restriction be based. The following ex
tract from the record convicts Douglas,
beyond cavil, of tbe most radical antag
onism to slavery in the States where it
exists. He hopes first to cut off the
growth and expansion of the institution
by means of tho mere power of num
bers in the Territories, and having bro
ken the constitutional barriers tor its
protection, and having let loose the
floodgates of Northern sentiments uj>-
on us, he expects, by means of Emi
grant Aid Societies and emancipation
in tho border slave States, to finally ac
complish tho abolitoin and overthrow
of slavery everywhere. This is the
Douglas programme, and of course he
did not want to be fettered by the con
stitutional principle of the equilibrium
of free and slave States, proposed and
advocated by Mr. Calhoun. But read
the record, and then let us see what
Southern man will support Douglas for
the Presidency. Wo know there are
politicians at the South base enough
to vote for him even with this black re
cord staring them in the face; but we
cannot believe that tbe honest people,
