HON.
JOHN BRECKENRIDGE—A letter on business to the editor, of the Richmond Enquirer
from Cadis, Kentucky, dated the 7th inst., says:
I
see that some of the Virginia papers are laboring under misapprehension about
Major Breckenridge’s position. He is as
one a Southern man as the light of heaven has ever shone upon. I know this to be so, for I was with him
several days last week and heard him make three speeches, and I know his
position is as sound as that of Gov. Wise, or Jeff Davis himself. He is laboring now every day to drive
Kentucky from the cowardly position she has assumed, and many of us here do
hope that he may finally be successful.
