From the divisions %mong the democracy in A'ir ginia, apparently without remedy, from the aston ishing forward movemei® of the new constitutional Union party in North Carolina, from the crushing defeat* *f the Breckinridge democracy in late Kentucky election, from the irreparable split in the democratic camp in Missouri, it is now highly pru- Sbable, if not moraSy certain, that Bell and Everett, in November® will carry Delaware, Maryland, A’ir ginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Missouri,. # n string of conservative States representing'* sixty-nKie electoral votes, or a majority of eighteen %f the whole electoral vote of the South. ® , * * 9 * 4 *® * * * ® 9 This new const it iSional party already ‘’achieved a formidable Sjilgtiient in theSgoutlu—a lodg ment which makes it a powerful party for the fu ture, Svhateverjnay be the result of the Presidential election.® As this impor®int fact will more and ytorc impress upon the independent conservative classes of financial, commercial :yid ufacturigg, tjje more these late Southern elections, .•ye investigated, there is still g prospect of a North ern conservative reaction which may spoil the calcu lations of the republican party.

Tlie foliotving qxerwlieluiing fact is brought out in a publication made by R. R. Collier, Esq , in the JJefcersburgh (\ T a.) Intetligfhcer, of Tuesday last. It places Mr. Brcckenridge’s views on Territorial or Squatter Sovereignty, beyond a question. \Ve quote as follows from the letter of Mr. Collier. * On the lGth January, 1850, when Mr. Breeken ridge waaa member of the Kentucky’ Legislature, from Fayette county, lie introduced certain resolu tions, one of which was in these words : ■ “ Resofved, By the General Assembly of the Com monwealth of Kentucky, that the question of slave ry in the Territories being who/y local and domestic belongs alone, to the people- who inhabit them.” “Truly, ‘• comment is unnecessary.” Here is the distinct, definite and unconditional avowal that sla very is “local” —just what Seward, Sunnier ami * i Giddings say! that it3 regulation belongs wholly* ter the people of the Territory, and that they are not to be restrained in the exercise of the power to reg ulate it, until they come to form their state govern ment. What Free Soiler has ever gone further than this?— Sav. Republican. IViint Ko" r A. Irjor Says. In a speech at Charlottesville, \ T a., a few days ago, Mr. Pryor said: | 0 “The National Democratic party had no longer an existence, that it was perfectly impotent, and en veloped by corruption. He spoke in the highest J terms of the old Whig party and its leaders, and said be would cordially vote for Bell and Everett if be thought there was any prospect of their success.” Not long ago, when editing a Democratic paper in AA'asbington city, lie said: “From the byways and the highways of tlie gov ernment, the rottenness of corruption'sends forth an insufferable stench. AVhy are the people so patient? . AYhy slumbers .the indignation of the Democracy?’ l AY hen Democratic editors and leaders can talk thus of those in authority, it is time the- people should begin to think . AA hen so ardent a partizan as Mr. Pryor can point out such an extent of “corruption,” that its ‘‘rottenness sends forth an insufferablo stench, ’ and declare that hefis ready to “cordially vote for Bell and Everett,” those having Country at heart, and holding it paramount, should rally around , the candidates of the Constitutional Union Party— the only national party—and the only party which can defeat the Black Republican party. •
