If Mr. Bkecklnridge designs to eon fine himself to oue speech, we would sugg.-.-t that the surest and nioct eff-.-ctn al wajr to re lieve himself from misrepresentation, would be to take bis pen and write down their refu tation. This thing of reporting speeches, or banding down preciae - expressions by tradi tion is rather unsafe, as he has reason to know. If be desires to be equivocal, or af ford an opportunity for his friends to equivo cate, let him make the speech, by all means; bat if be wants to be understood unmistaka bly, let him write out bis vindication in tbe plainest terms and put it in type over bis own sign manual. But if be make? tme speech, why cot make a dozen, fifty, or an hundred? If be takes tbe stump at all, we hope he will keep it till the election. Let him invite Doug la $ to meet him, and give us a battle royal.' We are induced to cheri faint hope that such will be the case, by the following paragraph from the Louisville jMirnal: Breckinridge and his friends is that be thall make five or fix speeches in Kentucky durin: the canvass.

Card f rom Col. Clemens. From the nunteville Democrat. Dear Sir: I was both surprised and pained, on reading the following editorial article in tbe Independent of this date : Messrs. Yancey and Clemens. In his speech in Memphis, on Tuesday last, Mr. Yancey took occasion to speak ot Hon. Jere. Clemens in a sneering manner, applying to him the offensive epithet ot 'political Her eian.' Mr. Clemens has addressed a note to Mr. Yancey, demanding an explanation. The note was handed to Mr. Y., on yesterday morning, as be passed here on the cars, on his way to Georgia. We will publish the tacts in the case next week." My note to Mr. Yancey was a private, not a public matter. It did not demand an expla nation: bat simply made an inquiry, and this article appearing, as it does, after the publi cation of Mr. Yancey's disclaimer of any of fensive imputation, seemingly places me in the attitade of taking a quarrel. It is. there fore, due to my own character to say, that its publication was without my knowledge, and contrary to my wishes. If I had read Mr. Yancey's card in tbe Memphis Enquirer, my not to him would not have been delivered at all, and I am sore that the Editors of the Independent were ig norant of the contents of that card, when tbe editorial, quoted above, was penned. Mr. Yancey did, unasked, all that I had a right to require; and I hope no portion of my fellow-citizens believe me capable of pursuing such a matter any farther. Very respectfully, jours. Ac, Jerk. Clemens. J. W. Clay, Ei., Hantsville, Ala. ytr. ITel! and the Question of Slavery. WbiNt Sonthrii oppnnnt nf Mr. Bell, by distorting and perverting hi record, are en deavoring to convince tbe people of the South that be U unworthy f their support, the N. Y. Tn'mne, and other republican jour nals, are engaged in an effort to prejudice the people or the North against him, on ac count of bis views npou the subject cf sla very, which are the antipodes of those geocr- allv held in that section of the Uuion. The. Tribune goes so far as to charge bim nith complicity ia tbe repeal of tbe Missouri re stration, be having voted to place in the Kansas-Nebraska bill the claus-j repealing it, and with voting on other amendments in such way as to t-how his partiality for th in stitution of slavery, and then declares tli.it bis vote against tbe bill dos not exempt bim from the responsibility of having given tbe votes which, in its eyes, are reprehensible. The St. Louis Democrat, the old organ ol the democracy of Missouri, now supporting tbe Republican ticket, turns its bntterie iip-m Mr. Bell also. On the 18th inst., iu an article under the caption of "Bell's Position on the Sbvtry Question,'1 it says : The result of tbe Keutucky election, aud the impulse thereby given to the Bell and Everett movement, render it projwr that the opinions of Bell on the Elsvery question should In: fully and correctly made kuown to tbe public. Nor is this a difficult task, lie has served in Congress and Cabinets; he par ticipated in the great controversies of 50-4. His record is therefore extensive, and, judg ing from a letter of his, recently written and published, be refers to it with pride and con fidently invites its inspection. We think it will be found, on examination, that he is a decided pro-slavery man ; that bis opinions on the slavery question are identical wiih those professed by the Breckinridge Demo cracy, and not at all with thot-e which were held by Clay and the Yt'hig party. True, he is not an agitator of that question, and that is the sole difference iu the premises between bim and the Southern Democracy. Neither does he countenance disunion, nor treason of any kir.d. His policy is to protect and ex tend slavery wilhin the Union, without con templating the alternative of secession in th-j event ot that policy being frustrated. The pro'ection aud extension of slavery within the Union is the platform on which John Bell's record establishes him. In the great debate on the compromise measures of lO0, he argned that slavery is right in its- It and beneficent in its operations aud results; that the powers and resources of the Confed eracy wo:i!d not be half what they are, ex cept for slave labor; and thai the institution is in barm.jiiy with the l:tws of" nature, and has prevailed in all ae and countries. This is sufficiently explicit. la-led the force "J language can no laitht rgo in panegyrizing the in-t:tuii'u. But we bnv also aa em Dhatic avowal of the Calliou:i tiieory, (now thL- speciality of the Southern or Breckinridge Democracy )"! th'' Cyusiitutimial rif;hti ot rlaverv in the Territories. In tbe same speech.

Union." c utiiot le siicc-!Hlly im peached. Th.it lb" foregoing i- inadvei f"it a.-:-tr-tion, no rhetorical lloiiri.-h. but a matuied opinion, is show n ly the Senator's vote on the Kan-a.--Nebraska bill K-ur years later. On the loth of IVbruary, 1S.14. that bill being I b-re the Senate, Mr. Douglas moved by way ol amendment, to in-ert ihe follow ing, coutaining the vry virus and deadly fangs of the disastrous measure: -which (tbe 'Missouri comprou;ie) being iacoDsicUnt -with the principles of nou-iulei vestioa by -Congress with slavery iu t!u States aud "Territories, as recognized by the legislation "of 1850 (commonly called the Comprouii.-e "measures), is h'ref-ij Uc!tr"l intprntire "nd 'co.i." These are the words iu which the Missouri Compromise was abolished, aud John Bell, of Tennessee, voted for their adoption and tbeir incorporation in th? bill, as well a' Atchison Geyer and Douglas. As Bell his never ac cepted squatter sovereignty, bis vote on that occasion was necessarily cast in conformity with the Southern interpretation of the "principles of the Kansas Nebraska bill;" in other words, in conformity with the declara tion quoted above w hich be had read" four years previously. Thew; facts speak for themselves. We have no comment to make ou them larther than to iuoucau or xcuiou uuuiocrai voting lor the man who himself voted for the abrogation of the Missouri Cortpromise, and who declares that the Constitution establishes slavery in all the Territories. We grant that Bell voted against the Kansas Nebraska bill on its pas sage, but he did so because it gave aliens the same privileges as natives in the new Terri tories a circumstance which has no sort of relation to bis position on the slavery ques tion. Thus, Mr. Bell is assailed North and .South, but upon opposite ground. Republicans assail bim lie-cause he is trite to the rights of the South : and Southern democrats pervert his noble record to assail bim as untrue to the rights of the South. The republicans and their allies South, in the war on Mr. Bell, whilst striking with different weapons, are prompted by similar motives. The election ; of Mr. Bkll would give peace to the country, heal the dissensions whice divide tbe sections, and deprive the agitators of the means of agitation. Under bis administration both the opposing parties would be driven to tbe wall, and the people, divided in the support cf or opposition to measures and principles not of a sectional and peace disturbing char acter. It behooves the great masses, there fore, to arise in their strength and elect Mr. Bell. They can iu no way do their country more signal service. We acknowledged the reception, a few days ago, from W. T. Bkrkv & Co., of a copy of a new novel ly Marian Hakhno, with the above title. c have since found time to read it. and must confess that we have set dom been so much entertaiued by a work of fiction. It is one of the b-st written, most interesting, and useful xf the class of werks to which it lelongs. No oue can read it without admiration for the author, a renewed hatred of oppression and wrong, and a higher appreciation of true christian character. Th Home Jvumal speaks of the hook as follows, and we endorse everv word of it: It is worthy of note that the form- r works of this authoress have been republished iu England, r ranee ana uerinauy luijecd. no other American female writer has the honor of a republication in the Leipzig issues of Alphonse Durr. which embraces Bryant. Longfellow, Hawthorne, aud 1 rescott. Ihe scene of the story of "Nemesis" is laid in the South; the time, the beginning of the present century. The customs, and many ol tae events, of those days are traced with fidelity and spirit, yet so skillfully interwoven with the narrative that the reader is not wearied by statistics or dry historical details. The homes of buy years ago seem familiar to him as those he visited but yesterday, and their inmates differ little from the men and women with whom he associates daily. The pictures ot humble life, of which we have many in the earlier chapters, are graphic and refresh ing. In no otber work from the author's peu can there be found greater variety of inci dent, more artistic delineation of character, more canrestness of thought and vigor of de scription, and certainly no other contains a plot so striking in conception and so ably managed. The reader cannot but remark as he proceeds, how naturally, yet how irresistibly, he is borne along by the tide ot events for the etory seems to tell itself the author, all the while, out of sight There is no need, after he is once in the current, to explain the bold and somewhat ominous title that frowns at the top of the page. Before the "Neme sis" is unveiled, the reader feels her subtle influence, understanding by intuition that there are bidden springs and secret wires un der the feet and in the homes of the unsus pecting objects of her vengeance, and the pertinent motto of the authoress "The Mills of the Gods griud slowly" fully proves that retribution, though sometimes slow, ia al wayj sure. The book is well written, the plot artistic, the characters admirably drawn, the descriptions of scenery vividly portrayed, the conversations natural and easv, and the story itself of absorbing interest."

The Lexington Slal'9mm publishes the fol lowing correspondence: . - ArocsT 18, 1860. Hon. John C. Breckinridge, Lexington, Ky: Dear Sir:, Your friends of this Congres sional District, have deputed us to request you to address tbe people (at a barbecue to be given by them to suit your convenience), frr the purpose cf publicly vindicating your self from the violent personal assaults made upon you since your nomination for tbe Pre sidency at Baltimore. They have been induced to make this re quest more particularly, because you have been recently assailed from the "stamp" by Judge Douglas, at Concord, and Mr. Critten den at Louisville; the former charging you with having uttered extreme opinions in favor ot Squatter Sovereignty, and the latter asserting that as Presidential candidate of tbe National Democracy, you are tbe bead of a disunion party; we wish to afford you the opportunity publicly to repel these assaults, believing that no just man would be disposed to require that you should, by your silence, permit charges so nnjust to be promulgated under the authority of these distinguished men. The propriety of thas publicly etarrp ing as false these and other accusations is the more obvious when we reflect, that for the last three years, you have not had tbe right to speak in the Senate, although by law its presiding officer; and because the obvious motive of these personal assaults is to weak en the confidence of the people in the Nation al and Constitutional Democracy. Will you permit us to urgo you to name an early day when it may suit your convenience to meet and address as. Very truly and respeatf ally your friends, William Jouxsox, Richabu Hawes, Juxirs li.

Metcalf, Trres. W. Bcllock, Lexixgtox, Ky., August 21, 1000. Gextlemen: I have received your letter of the ISth inst., in which, on behalf of my friends of this Congressional District, you in vite me to address the people, for the purpose of vindicating myself from the violent per sonal assaults made upon me since my nom ination for the Presidency at Baltimore. 1 have not proposed at any time to take part in the general political discussions of the day. To this letter, however, I recognize tbe signatures of many of my oldest and most cuersibed friends, whose wishes are with me almost commands: and after some reflec tion, I have resolved to accept your invita tion; not that I consider any defeuse neces sary before my neighbors and constituents, but because it may be well to group together ami refute, iu a public and authentic manner, accusanoiis reiuaiKaoie ior tueir nunioer, their injustice, and the persistency with which they have beeu urged against me. I feel that it would be unj it to my principles, my friends, and myself to remain longer in si lence beneath this torrent ot defamation; and I hope to repel every charge which has been made, to the satisfaction of all candid and honorable men. It will lw agreeable lo me lo meet my fellow-citizens on any day and at any place that you may select. Verv trulv your frieud. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE. The Sah.'num says: His friends have designated tbe 5th of Sep tember as the time for the address, and NEAR LEXINGTON as the place. of the meeting. Ala hama. A gentleman from Middle Ala lia in t sends u. a list of subscribers, with the remark that one of them "is an old demo crat, eO years of age, who is supporting Bell and Ererett with the enthusiasm of youth." The writer is much encouraged by the Cue pre,sject.s iu Alabama. The Boston Cirier says of the New York Tribune 'There is a flavor of very bad whisky about much that appears in the sheet from from day to day. The New York Flash was as courteous a journal in its day as the Tri bune is now. The old ofuce-hunter seems to have lost his wits as well as his manners; he rails and raves."

You are wiliiog to grant that I unders;tood you (as I did) correctly, yet you are not willing. JM.-H-1 to mis iiiauer again" as you may please; tune nut one word to retract, but per- fist that yuu did ucs the language which I reported im as using. You bring forw aid five gentlemen to prove that I am in error. I do not know them. I presume they are gentlemen, and men of ve racity. Are they willing to testify positive ly to your language? Perhaps their recol lection is somewhat like that of my young friend Hunter of the Herald was in the notes of Whitthoruc's speech on the 7th of May that bquatter Sovereignty speech. Hear more evidence. I introduce Jno Gordon, a Lrcckinnde democrat. He says : 'My best recollection is, that Mr. McNeilly used the language reported by a 'Douglas Lemocrat.' It is at least the substance of it ; but the language which he (McN.) says he used, I am willing lo swear positively he did net.1 Mr. J. D. L. Nunuelee, Breckinridge demo crat, says he did not hear the remark him self, bat he thinks he conversed with not less than twenty-five men on the ground, and several as he went borne, and they all give it precisely the version which a ' Douglas Democrat" did, and that a Mr. , a law yer at Centreville, and a Breckinridge demo crat, made use of a remark which I will do Mr. McNeilly the courtesy not to state in this connection. Another Breckinridge democrat came to me immediately after the speaking was over, and said, after a few moments' con versation, "I am in hopes you took no ex ception to his (McN's.) remarks, but only considered the source." Still another Breckinridge man, a -big boss" in the harness a man whom I greatly admire as a man, as a politician, and as a speaker a man w bom I recognize as a friend, aud from that friendship which I bear bim, I shall, as it is his wish, still suppress his name this gentleman said to me the Monday after the barbecue: "Mr. McNeilly ought not to have used the language it was wrong!" Dr. Wm. F. Southern, a Bellite, says I re ported Mr. McN. correctly as he understood it. As to my "political status" I have alway s claimed to be a democrat, a democrat of the Jefferson, Jackson, Polk, and Pierce school. I have never bad the privilege of vo ting but one time in a political contest, and that vote was for Harris,Themas, MrNeillt, (God forgive me and I will never make the ac knowhdgujent again), Whitthorne andGantt. That looked somewhat democratic then; bat now these men have deserted the old ship and are following after the lead of Yancey, Rhett & Co. they have quit the democracy and joined the seceders. I am a democrat one to whom appeals will be made in less than twelve months to vote for the local nominees of tbe democracy, and I for one will be there, but in this contest, being an ardent admirer of Judge Douglas, regarding bim as being the greatest and purest patnot and statesman of tbe present day. and the regular nominee of tbe democratic party, endorsing heartily his doctrine of Popular Sovereignly, I shall cast my first Presiden tial TOtefor him. ' ' I would support him it for no other rea son thaa to lend a helping hand to kill in its afancy that party known as secessionists. I do not charge or believe Breckinridge and Lane are disunionists; nor do I believe that a large minority of his supporters are dis unionists; bat the party which they repre sent; for which they bear tbe colors, has a very great tendency to scctionalize the Sou thern States, and this will ultimately " result in a dissolution of the Unioa and the estab lishment of a Southern Confederacy. Does any man wish such a result? I, lor one, an swer no. .To dissolve ibis Union to remedy evils would be like, the suicide who severe the thread of life to be rid of trouble. ' HI could be satisfied that the Breckinridge parly has not this tendency, I would forsake my present preference for Judge Douglas,and vote most cheerfully for Mr. Breckinridge. I not do endorse a disruption of the party upon mere personal preference ,for! men. Answer me Hon, John Y. Brown's question? "When yoa fail to obtain that Constitutional right you insist upon, what will you do about it? Will yon submit, or will you se cede from the Union, as you did from a dem ocratic Convention?" And until I get an answer one that responds with a love for the Union one that holds all sections of the Union on an equality, let the consequences be as they may, under no circumstances will I forsake Douglas and Johnson, those patri otic and national democrats who stand by the flag of our Union, and strike for its Con stitution. Yours, most respectfully, A Douglas Democrat. Rich Vallet. Bedford Co., Teun ., August 18th, 1860. Editors Patriot : Believing that the friends of the Union are entitled to all the evidences accumulating over our country, of the increasing interest, confidence and zeal that animate the friends rf Bell and Everett, and that they should wrd to each other words of greeting, I have felt moved to give them a brief report (though imperfect it may be,) of a discassion I had the pleasure of list ening to to-day, between Robt. Matthews, Breckinridge delegate to Charleston and Bal timore, and Col. Matt. Martin, bof of Bed ford county, but at Chaii'y, in tliedemo ciatic county of old Line-jlu. Mr. Mat thews, though not accustomed to public speaking, seems impelled, by the oistracted condition of bis party, to rush to the rescue. The "unterrined" are having their apprehen sions aroused that mutiny must be abroad in their camps, otherwise, the plain, sober old men of the parly would not attempt to play the orator, and turn stump-speakers in their declining years. Mr. Matthews' speech at Charity, I think, was his second effort, and as far as earnestness of mar.ner and vehement gesticulation are concerned, he is not to be complained of. He first attempted an ex planation and justification of bis course as a delegate refused secession at Charleston, but accepted it at Baltimore. That he failed, notwithstanding his laborious efforts, to make bis democratic friends comprehend the reasons and appreciate his consistency, could be read in every countenance. After bis failure in this, he commenced a general onslaught upon Mr. Bell; deprecated iu the most bewailing manner the divisions in the South, and tendered to the Opposition the simple and absurd advice to abandon Bell aud Everett and unite en Breckinridge and Lane, as the panacea for all our ills. His appeals (or union contrasted badly with bis account of the disruption of the great Na tional Democratic party; and the despondent locks of his friends seemed to indicate the idea that it ia hopeless to expect union from the Opposition, when we have sacrificed union among ourselves for a barren abstrac tion. Col. Martin look the stand, and treeing that the democrats had listened to Mr. Matthews more from courtesy, and a sort of sympathy for his agonizing manner, than for convincing argument and satisfactory explanations, pro ceeded at once to charge, prove and demon strate that tbe clue to the disruption of the democratic party was to be found in the fact, taat ultra-radical and reckless men had wrought it for tbe purpose of dissolving our glorious Uuion. Col. Martin submitted such an ar- ray of circumstances, facts and argmeuts, J... - !. . . patriotic strain, that the audience Rnd seemed to be held spell-bound. For full two hours he had the most undivided and re spectful attention I ever saw paid an Oppo sition speaker in Lincoln county. It was ev ident that Col. Martin was showing and proving to the democracy of Lincoln what they had expected Mr. Matthews to do Ihe causes that had broken up their once great party. Mr. Matthewt" explanation or excuse for it seemed to excii-; pity and despair. while Col. Martin's elucidation of the sub ject excited astonishment and indignation. Among the disunion sayiugs, doings aud documents, Col. Martin read the letter of John Mitchell, the Irish exile, recommending his fellow countrymen to favor and support the sectional parties of their respective sec tions, that tbe end for which he had labored so long might be accomplished to-wit: dis union. Mr. Mattbevs (who is also an Irish man) seemed, I hope I may say, mo tified, at this evidence of disunion from his Irish brother; and while, no doubt, he hon estly condemns the sentiment of bis brother it is much to be regretted that he is treading the nath laid down in that letter to effect so direful a purpose. I am satisfied that much good was done and that old Lincoln, the home of honest G t. j ones, wno uiei not approve ot the seces sion at Charleston and Baltimore, will give a vastly different report of herself than hereto fore. Fkijx Tbe Canvass in tbe Elbtb District Itrllllant Speeches of John F. House A Fuss Iu tbe Family. Dickson County, Aug. 22nd, 1860. Editors Patriot: I have just beard the candidates for Elector at Sladin's Store. Mr. McCanx, the Douglas champion, opened the discussion in a very ingenious and earnest appeal to the Democracy to rally to the nom ince of the National Convention. He pre sented the facts and arguments on his side of the question witn uiciueci ability, lie is evidently very inexperienced as a political debater, bat nevertheless presents the points with ability, aud gives entire satisfaction to tnc .Douglas men, or whom there are a con siderable number in this neighborhood. In fact, there are more democrats in this section of Old Dickson, who favor the cause of Doug las than there are who support Breckinridge Mr. McCann's speech to-day was well receiv ed by them. ...--.! He was followed by Mr. House ia one of the most effective speeches I have ever listen ed to. He proved beyond any doubt that tbe politicians in the Democratic party had en dangered the Union, and that they would soon destroy the fair fabric of American liberty unless the people pat a stop to their career. No one could listen to such a speech without being convinced of the necessity of rescuing the government from the Vandal hands of the despoiling Democracy. His ex position of the designs of the Democratic leaders in keeping up the agitation of the slavery question, and of their folly or wick edness in splitting the National Democratic party on so trivial an issue as slavery in the territories, was a masterly effort. ' He show ed the extravagance and corruption of the administration in a strain of eloquent and withering denunciation, such as I never heard before; and in this part of his speech, he took particular pains to show that Breckin ridge was responsible for a full share of the short-comings of the "old public function ary, ihe illustration on this subject was so good that i cannot refrain from giving your readers the benefit of it. He said the firm of Buchanan and Breckinridge had been doing business together four years, end if Mr. Breckinridge wished to escape jespoufci-1 oility Jor toe future lie couia uo so in me uual way. He could put an advertisement in the papers jnving notice of the diolation of partnership between them,: and directing all persons to present their accounts to Mr. Buchanan, who is alone authorized; settle the debts of the concern." - Until such a no-' lice as this is published, the presumption is that the partnership is still existing, and in asroiich as old Brick ii notoriously insolvent,! Mr. Breckinridge must be, looked to es the only responsible member of the firm. This illustration, given ia House's best stylc,had, a tremendous effect. ' But his manner of treat ing every issue of the canvass js forcible and impressive. He strikes terror into the hearts of the Breckinridge men wherever he speaks, and raises the supporters of Bell and Everett to tbe highest pitch ofenthusiasuu At the clo3e of the speaking, to-day, an old gentle man said to me : " Sir, ,if he makes such speeches as that all 'over1 the district, Bell will carry it by a larger majority than it ever gave any candidate before."' 1 - Mr. Haywood followed ia the. ordinary democratic style. For particulars, vide tbe Union and' American from the 1st of May, 1SG0, to the 221 August, inclusive. The principal points in his speech had been anticipated by House, and fell flat and harmless upon the audience. The Union men were delighted with the discussion. Tennessee has few equals and no superiors to Mr. House as a popular speaker. The only regret I feel is that Mr. Ewing declined the nomination for elector on the Breckinridge ticket. Had he accepted the position. John F. House would have made a reputation in the canvass, that the proudest of Tennessee's gallant sons might have envied. Even as it is, he is ex citing the admiration of all who hear him. His speech to-day was undoubtedly oue of the best I ever heard. It was eloquent and argumentative, and interspersed with just enough humor to relieve the weariness of the crowd. Rest assured all is right ia this dis trict Charlotte, Aug. 23, 1SG0. Messrs. Editors : WTe had another com plete triumph to-day. House opened the dis cussion in a speech that was better, if possi ble, than the one be made yesterday. He was in fine condition and he made the fur fly every blow. The Yancey-ridgers are badly down in the mouth, and the Bell and Everett men are jubilant. You may safely calculate on a large gain in Dicfcscn. The u.-ual pleasant routine was varied to day, somewhat, by a little flare-up between the Douglas aud Breckinridge candidates. In the course of his remarks Mr. McCann spoke of Breckinridge as a traitor to his parly. He also said that Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country in the Revolutionary war, and "what Arnold was to his country," contin ued Mr. McCann, "Breckinridge is to the dem ocratic party." When be closed bis remarks, Mr. Haywood asked him to whom be applied these offensive epithets and comparisons. McCann said, to Breckinridge. Mr. Hawood seemed to be much excited, and remarked that it was discourteous to bim to apply such language to his candidate. Mr.McCann replied that the Breckinridge editors and stump-6peakers were in the habit of using such language to their opponents. Mr. Hay wood said he had never charged Mr. Douglas with being a traitor. Mr. MCann said "If you did nobody would believe it." Where uponvMr. Haywood gave him the lis. With that Mr. McCann called him a damned liar, and they both rushed toward? each other. But some gentlemen, who were standing near, interfered, and prerented them from getting together. The affair has since beeu amicably adjusted. This little diversion created quite a stir in the audience, aud the supporters of both Breckinridge and Douglas began to take side's with their champions, and for a while there was a fiue prospect of a grand fight. But everything was quieted after a while, and ii. -a: (ho T " - - 1 men in the very best kind of spirit.'. A Card from Hon. lmersoii Ether- idge. From the Memphis AvaUncbe, Aug. ". Editors Avalanche: Tn your daily paper ot the letu inst., is the loilowing statement: "We understand that the Hon. Emerson Etheridge made a speech at Dresden, Tcnn., during which he read the Black Republican platform, and asked if there was any man there who could find fault with it. He fur ther said that the election of Lincoln on that platform would give peace to the country, whilst Breckioridge's election would dissolve the Union' So much of the above as represents me to have made a speech at Dresden, and as hav ing read the Republican platform, is true. I did not ask, in regard to the platform, "J inert was any man tlure who could join fault with it," I approved some portions ot the plat form and disapproved other portions, as did every person present. I did noteny that -'the election of Lincoln on that platform would give peace to the country," nor did I say "Breckinridge's election would dissolve the Union." What I did say would, if published, require more of your space than I feel will ing to ask. In the same number of your paper, I Cud the following, which purports to have been written by a correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, from Terre Haute, Indiana: ;In regard to the Bell and Everett move ment in this State, nothing positive can yet be known as to their ranning an electoral ticket in Indiana. Hon: Richard W. Thomp son, tbe acknowledged leader of the party, has expressed bis determination to support both the Republican State and Electoral tickets, and it is understood that he will dis courage the organization of the party in op position to the support of Lincoln and Ham lin. The Hon. E. Etheridge, of Tcunessee, on his return from Washington, was the guest of Col. Thompson lor a few days, and when in the city was serenaded by his politi cal friends, when he made a speech and ex horted them to cast aside the all idea of sup porting a Bell ticket in Indiana, and give their united support to Lincoln, ne advised them that all the efforts of the united Oppo position should be directed to the overthrow of the Democratic party, which could onlv be done by defeating their candidates in as many States as possible. He said ir he lived in Indiana, he would vote for Lincoln; but as he lived in a State where his own ticket bad a chance, be should vote for Bell. This advice from a man of tbe position held by Mr. Etheridge in his party, has great weight with tbe members of that party in Indiana. On my return from Washington in June last, I was the guest of Hon. R, W. Thomp son, for one day. It is true that I was sere naded by my friends. I responded to the call iu a very brief sneech. iu which I com plimented Mr. Bell. I said not one word about Mr. Lincoln or the Republican party; about the formation of an Electoral ticket ; as to my voting for Lincoln if I lived ia In- diaaa, or about my voting lor Mr. Bell be cause I lived in a State where be bad a chance. I had declined a very pressine re quest io aactress tue people aunug the day, and the serenade was wholly unexpected. I said nothing which could be tortured into a justification for the above, nnless it was the declaration which I have often made wilhin the last seven years, that the peace of the whole conutry and the welfare ot all sections would be promoted by the overthrow of the Democratic party. I think bo still. .. lour comments on tbe above evtracta justify me in believing that you will give me room in your paper tor this communica tion, which I have-endeavored to make as brief as possible. , Very respectfully. . .. i t E.
