THE BRECKINRIDGE COMMITTEE.—Mr. Chas. Lindley, Chairman of the Breckinridge Committee, has called another meeting of that body, to be held at San Francisco on the 7th inst. The call is made in accordance with the recommendation of about a hundred Breckinridge men, who are anxious for a fusion with the regular Democracy. If the Breckinridge Committee will recall their late address, and denounce the Confederate States for making war on the Government with as much vim as they lately denounced the North for a supposed intention to make war on the South, there may be some hope of fusion. However political parties may be divided, we do not believe any one can be elected to Congress or to a State office, who is not unequivocally opposed to secession, and in favor of maintaining the Federal Union.
