IJaT A correspondent from Monroe county, whose communication was published in our last issue, desires to know whether the candidates on the Democratic State ticket are in favor of the compromise offered by the Breckinridge and Lane State Convention. We are sorry that we are unable to give our correspondent any reliable information on this subject We have not conversed with any of them about the matter ; and the rumors are contradictory. We are safe in saying, however, that the rank and file of both wings of the party throughout the State are warmly in favor of the compromise ; and that it will be effected unless the Douglas leaders are determined to elect Lincoln and defeat the Democratic State ticket. PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN. WTe would say to our friends throughout the State, be of good cheer; for, "by St. Paul, the fight goes bravely on." The friends of Breckinridge and Lane throughout the State arc buckling on their armor and going into the contest in good earnest.' We are daily in receipt of a large number of business letters, not intended for publication, from which it is apparent that Breckinridge and Lane will receive a vote in Indiana that will astonish the " squatters." Where the Douglas Party will Bring Up. At a recent meeting in Cambridge, M.iss., Hon. An.-:on Burlingame declared that there were but two parties in the country which could last, and he hailed every Douglas flag as an assistance to the Republicans. He ridiculed the " old meu'l jiarty," and said that the Southern wing sympathized with the Republicans, while the Northern wing belonged to the ranks of the Breckinridge army. He regretted that Douglas had not traveled all the way to Republicanism. (35" A Washington telegram says Mr. Slidell declares that Mr. Breckinridge will beat the vote for both Mr. Douglas and Mr. Bell in Louisiana. We would take the word of the Hon. John Slidell, about Louisiana matters, sooner than that of any other ten men in the State, as lie is the best informed politician in Louisiana. (ST John Marshall, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Texas, writes: "The State Electors of Texas waiuily respond to the nomination of Breckinridge and Lane, and the Democracy pledge themselves to earn- Texas in November for the ticket by FIFTEEN THOUSAND MAJORITY!"

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED. It should be remembered that Mr. Douglas was nominated at Baltimore, on motion of a delegate, just after the Virginia and other delegates withdrew from the convention, when only one hundred and eighty of the three hundred and three members were in the room, and without abolishing the two-thirds rule. Mr. Johnson was not nominated at all, but put upon the ticket by a committee, which had no authority to do so. Yet

Mr. Douglas' followers call these regular nominations! It should be remembered that Mr. Lincoln had mote Southern States and votes represented in the convention that nominated him than had Mr. Douglas when he was-nominated. Then which of these two is thai most sectional candidate ? It should be remembered that more States were represented in the convention that nominated Mr.BRECK' Inridge t han were in either of the other conventions. Then has not Mr. Breckinridge the right to be called the regular national candidate ? It should be remembered, that neither Mr. Breckinridge, Mr. Toombs, or any of his supporters, ever advocated or admitted the right of a Territory in its legislative capacity to legislate for or against slavery, the garbled extracts from their speeches to the contrary notwithstanding. That all he or his friends have ever contended for, has been, that a Territorial Legislature had not power over the subject of slavery, and, if it should ever excreise its assumed authority in the matter, Congress would be justified in interfering, in the absence of any action by the U. S. Supreme Court. . ' . NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. The telegraph reports the election of Ellis (Dem.) over Pool, (Opp.,) for Governor, by about ten thou sand majority. This is a falling off from the Democratic majority of 1858, and is accounted for on account of local questions that injured Ellis in some parts of the State. North Carolina may be set down as safe for 20,000 majority for Breckinridge and Lane. The Douglas men of Indiana were looking and hoping anxiously for the defeat of the Democracy in North Carolina, just as they arc praying for the defeat of McCIarty, the Democratic nominee for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, in Kentucky. The Louisville Democrat has advised the Douglas men to. vote for Leslie Coombs, the Know Nothing candidate, in order to defeat the regular Democratic nominee. IJ" The consternation which is manifested in the Republican camp at the bare prospect of a combination of the opponents of Lincoln, ought to be a powerful argument in favor of the measure. The fact which is brought home to the mind of every intelligent Republican in connection with this suggestion, is, that sure defeat must be the result of its accomplishment In the face of such evidence, will Democrats persist in fomenting disunion, and thus making certain their own defeat 1 If the fair and just proposition of the friends of Breckinridge and Laxe is rejected by the Douglas men, it will be as plain as the noonday sun that they arc in favor of Lincoln for President of the United States. And if our party is defeated, we can say to the Douglas men, the blood of the Democratic party " be upon your own heads." Hox. W. B. Gaulden, of Georgia, on the Stump. Hon. W. B. Gaulden, of Georgia, publishes a card in the Savannah Republican, announcing his intention of doing all he can for Mr. Douglas bystumping the State industriously. Atlas and Argus. This Mr. Gaulden is the famous advocate of the African slave trade, and of the direct importation of negroes from Africa,' to supply our Southern plantations. He boasts, we believe, of having some of the genuine African stotk on his own premises. Would it not be well for the Douglas men to send for Mr. Gaulden to stump this State for their candidate, whose election he earnestly advocates ? They charge Mr. Breckinridge with being a disunionist, because Mr. Yancey supports him, and it would be only common justice to show the Northern supporters of Douglas a live specimen of his Southern friends. A GRAND DOUGLAS FIZZLE. The Douglasites, so the telegraph Monday morning informed us, had a State convention at Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, to appoint electoral candidates, etc. Of it, the Nashville Union and American says: A gentleman who counted the persons that were inside the bar of the House of Representatives, yesterday morning, when the Douglas Convention was going on, says there were sixty-five, including the Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge men. We hope Mr. Douglas' friends, after this mournful farce, will go home, and after quietly thinking over the matter, conclude to go the Democratic ticket. We have no wish to wound the feelings of Douglas men by commenting on their signal failure. Those who attended are already sufficiently hurt by the absence of delegates and enthusiasm. There could not have been exceeding thirty-five delegates from the other counties of the State. The Washington Star, a Breckinridge paper, says: "Not a tithe of the disposition to break up the Union now exists in the slavcholding States that was rife there at the time of John Brown's raid ; nor docs any other public man of the South, except Mr. Keitt, openly counsel the destruction of the Government if Mr. Lincoln triumphs. The position they occupy on that subject, with remarkable unanimity, indeed, is that, if elected, and his Government shall initiate un constitutional and aggressive measures against the South, it will be her duty to resist them at all hazards and any cost" A Douglas Paper in Georgia wants to GO OUT OF THE UNION LET IT Go! Douglas and Johnson Disunionism is rampant in some parts of the South. In Georgia, Johnson's own State, the Atlanta Confederacy, a leading Douglas and Johnson paper which speaks the sentiments of Johnson, says: " But if the woret does come if Lincoln is elected, let us with one heart and mind forget the past, and go out of the Union together." We would suggest to the Breckinridge SubCommittee on Correspondence the propriety of an early answer from the Douglas men, as to our proposition for a compromise ; and that they should consult as to the course to be pursued if an answer should be unreasonably delayed. fS" Prof. Gardner, the celebrated soap man, orator and poet, has been in this city for several days.

GREAT BRECKINRIDGE rDEMONSTRATION IN VERMONT.

The National Democrats in Vermont have issued the following call for a State Convention : The National Democrats, favoring the election of Breckinridge and Lane, are requested to hold primary meetings in their respective towns, for the purpose of electing two delegates from each town to a State Convention to be held at White River-Junction, on Tuesday, August 7th, 1800, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, for the purpose of perfecting a State organization and nominating Slate officers and two Presidential Electors at large. The reasons which dictate this course are rendered obvious by the present condition of the Democratic party. The committee who have called a 'Democratic convention" to be held on the 26th inst, were" elected before the unfortunate division at Baltimore. They have called a meeting of the Democracy, without designating whether the friends of Douglas and Johnson, or the National Democracy, supporting the friends of Breckinridge and Lane, are to be represented. There is, therefore, no consistent course left for us to pursue but to invite the National Democracy of each town in the State to send their delegates, that we may be able to effect an organization which shall emanate directly from the people, and give to each locality a fair representation in our State convention. This call is signed by upwards of 500 Democrats, representing every county in the State. The St. Albans (Vt.) Democrat, an original Douglas paper, put up his name immediately after his nomination, and kept it there two weeks. Last week it hauled it down, and nailed the Breckinridge and Lane colors to its masthead, not being able to stand the rule-or-ruin course of the leading friends of Mr, Douglas. The following is its article upon the subject : " With patriotic pride we place at the head of our columns the names of the National Democratic candidates for President and Vice President John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane." . Vice President Breckinridge, although but 39 years of age, is too well aud favorably known throughout the length and breadth of our laud, to need any commendation from our pen. Gen. Lane is equally well and favorably known, and by his brilliant military achievements, is familiarly called " the Marion of the Mexican War." We have neither the time nor the space, this week, to present all the reasons why every good and tiue Democrat within the bounds of our glorious countiy should give his hearty support to our gallant standard bearers. By rendering such support, the Democracy will not only strengthen and cement, but will also " extend the limits of our happy Union." That John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane are the regular Democratic candidates, the following facts will attest: To say nothing of the injustice of that portion of the csnvention which nominated Judge Douglas, in excluding the legitimate delegates from several of the Southern States, and of Mr. Hallett, from Massachusetts and without commenting upon the further fact, that thirty-one of the seventy delegates from New York were inflexibly opposed to Mr. Douglas, and only voted for him by compulsion of the " unit rule," under protest and that a majority of the Massachusetts delegates, as well as many others from New England, opposed him "to the bitter end," let us now, afier the smoke and excitement of the battle have a Utile subsided, take an impartial view of the field. Now, of the nineteen Democratic States which, in 1S5G, cast their electoral votes for Buchanan and Breckinridge, how many support Mr. Douglas ibr the Presidency Ihe answer is transparent to every man that readsonlutico! Illinois and Indiana, and a large majority of the people of the latter State, even, preler Air. .Breckinridge. And whom do the other seventeen Democratic States now support ? They support Breckinridge and Lane. And these are their names: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Kentui ky, Missouri, California, and also Oregon, since admitted into the Union. In conclusion of this hastily written article we will say that in our next issue we shall publish a call for a State convention, with such an array- of Democratic signatures as will even astonish the sectional fivctionists in Vermont, and cause them 'to tremble iu their fiSJ" Hon. Jesse D. Bright, in his speech at Indianapolis on Tuesday according to the report in the Cincinnati Commercial said: I do not claim that Breckinridge and Lane are the nominees of the Democratic party." As hard a face and as unscrupulous a conscience as Mr. Bright has, he had not the effrontery to so outrage the truth and meet the contempt of his countrymen, as to claim that Breckinridge and Lane are the nominees of the Democratic party. We hope that, after the explicit declaration of Bright, we shall hear no more claims put forward by the bolters that Breckinridge and Lane are the nominees of the Democracy. As they are not the nominees of the Democratic party, Democrats are under no obligations to vote for them, Indeed, Democrats everywhere should repudiate them, and yield their support to Douglas and Johnson, who are the regular nominees of their party. Louisville Democrat. The Democrat should have told its readers that Mr. Bright, at the same time, said that Douglas and Johnson are not the regular nominees of the parly, and proved it too, conclusively ; and that the Breckinridge and Lane ticket had more of regularity and more of Democratic support than the Douglas ticket. That Douglas was nominated by the noa-democratic States, and that Breckinridge was nominated by seventeen Democratic States and parts of others. Expressive. The eccentric Dow Jr., in one of his discourses, in which he describes the Contrast between semblance and reality, thus hits off a ball scene : A woman may r.ot be an angel though she elides through the mazes of the dance like a spirit clothed I with a rainbow and studded with stars. The. vrninff i man may behold his admired object on the morrow in .- the true light ot reality, emptying a wash tub in the gutter, with frock pinned up behind her checks pale for the want of paint her hair mussed and fuzzy, (except what lies in the bureau.) and her whole contour wearing the appearance of an angel jammed through a brush fence into a world of wretchedness and C?" Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, furnishes the following graphic biography of Horace Greeley: Horace Greeley was born in Oregon, near the conflux of Astoria. During his infancy he subsisted entirely upon roots and herbs, and was remarkable for wearing a copper s'ock about his neck. He sailed for this country in a Gal war steamer. He got employment as a gardener, but in trying to root out a large weed, tore his linen. His employer, one Seward, forgetting to pay hint his wages, he left the weed and invented " Greeley's Corn Salve." He discovered the slievegammon funds; was elected to Congress, and immediately after requested his friends not to call him honorable. Retired on his mileage; was presented with the title of" Galvanized Squash," by Japanese G. Bennett, Professor of Heraldry. He has since gone into the fence-rail business upon a small capital. CiTThe New York Herald says of the legislative ability of Abraham Lincoln : The only legislative enactment which ever found its origin in the brain of Abe Lincoln was a law passed by the Legislature of Illinois in 1834, when Abe. wasa representative from Sangamon county, to authorize Samuel Musick to construct a toll bridge over Salt Creek. The toll bridge was built, but il is said that Mr. Muskk never collected the first red cent of toll, for the simple reason that everybody could ford the creek. Hon. Jee D. Bright arrived in this city yesterday. He w stopping at the Bates Hon.

IfS" How strongly the following article contrasts with the " Rule or ruin " policy of the Sentinel and N. Albany Ledger : NOBLE WORDS FROM THE OLD TENTH LEGION. We find, says the Lynchburg (Va.) Republican, the following in the time-honored journal, the Rockingharn (Va.) Register. We join hands with the editors in the sentiments it allows, and cordially endorse and echo every one of them. We doubt not that the manly rebuke of the Register will be backed up by the noble Democracy whose organ it is. We trust, too, that the Washington proclamation writers will learn a lesson, and that just such a one will be administered to all on either side who shall attempt to pull our party by the ears: MILES TAYLOR'S PRONUNCIAMENTO. We I ave received a circular from Miles Taylor, Esq., the Secretary of the National Executive Committee of the Democratic party, at Washing ton, in which he informs us that they are opposed to any union of the two wings of our party, and that iney win noi sanction me ruuning oi a joint electoral ticket in any of the States. We do not hesitate to say that although the circular comes from the .Douglas committee, we have no disposition to obey its behests or comply with its unwarranted effort at dictation. If we understand the Democracy of the country they do not belong to any self-constituted committee, nor can they be driven to pursue any course a few politicians at Washington may suggest. We repudiate utterly the efforts of Miles Taylor, or any one else, to widen the unfortunate breach which has been made in our party. In the face of his proclamation we declare that we are in favor of a union of the two wings of our party in every Slate where there is a division of sentiment; that we are in favor of running but one electoral ticket, and if the votes ot the Mate cannot be secured lor Douglas we want them cast for Breckinridge, Tie ao for the success of our vartv and its mincinles before men, and though we may be required to sacrilice Douglas a hundred times over, we are willing to do it, if by so doing we can defeat the enemies of the Constitution ''Principles, not men," has been inscribed upon our banner too long for us to repudiate the sentiment now. We will not enter into the feelings of any faction whose motto is " rule or ruin." We have never been factious in the support of any man, nor will we encourage, by word or by act, any lactious spirit in any portion ot the Democratic party We repeat, we are for the union of the party in Vir ginia upon a basis which shall be honorable alike to all parties, and which shall secure the vote ot the State for Douglas or Breckinridge. PENNSYLVANIA SURE FOR BRECK! Nothing can be more certain than that the great Kevstone Slate will cast her electoral vote for Ken tucky's favorite son. From every part we hear the most cheering news. The Democracy are united for their man. A few politicians of the State are in the employ of Mr. Douglas, but the people have decided to take the matter in hand next November, and have already selected John C. Breckinridge as their standjard bearer. Political jobbers might as well dry up; a iiu ucv iv iijtib int. ,ti.i ji i,iu ii;ujiii;. Tc giTC a few extracts fi om fome of the many papers and letters from leading men in Pennsylvania who are marshaled in the ranks of Democracy. , The Columbia Democrat, of Bloomington, Pa., says; " We shall most cordially give our hearty support to the election of Messrs. Breckinridge and Lane. The name of Major Breckinridge, the gallant soldier and noble young Kentucky states-man, is a tower of Biieum iiu uic xeniueraey vi iOiumuia, anu also in the old Keystone State, and coupled as it is with the name of the patriot and soldier, Gen. Lane, of Oregon, will carry Pennsylvania next November with an enthusiasm unequalled and scarcely excelled by the great contest of 1832, when she rallied to the tune of fifty thousand majority for the ' hero of New Orleans.'" John M. Cooper, Esq., editor of the Valley Spirit, after stating that he will be one of about a million and a half other Democrats, who will support Breekinriage, inus piainiy gives 1113 reasons lor to doing: " There are many reasons why I will not vote for Mr. Douglas, but I will scate only three of them here: First. He has abandoned the Cincinnati platform. Second. He has repudiated the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. Third. He has caused the defeat of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania for two yean in succession." Exchange. O. A. BROWNSON AGAINST DOUGLAS. Orestes A. Bi ownson, the leading Catholic writer of the country, m the current number ot his Review, lias the tollowing in regard to political parties: " The Republicans generally hold that Congress in organizing the Territories, may either permit or forbid slavery till the Territory becomes a State. Mr. Douglas is understood to deny this power to Congress, and to assert it for the people of a Territory, under the head of what is called " Squatter Sovereignty. " We know nothing more discreditable to a man who has the honor to be a judge even in an inferior court. Ihe people ot a ierntory have no powers except such as are conferred by Congress in the organic act, ! and Congress can confer no power which it does not ' itselt possess.' Jemo dot quod non Itabet, hquatter bovereignty is a fiction, and a fiction of that ultra ; Democratic school which justifies John Brown's raid into Vir'inia. I " Congress can not authorize another to do what it I has no right to do itselt, and Mr. Douglas' doctrine, if i conceded, supposes Congress has the power to permit or prohibit slavery in the Territories in nrincinle the I .1. . . .. . . doctrine of the Republican party- or else that the ! people are sovereign without reference to legal oran-' : ii ...i.-. ...n t.i. i : ij . - i F jatiuu wncii, vtv uiiiiunu .diowiuhii. ai we oeneved Congress had the power, we should, of course, de-! -l f. ... , . i,- i , , , c'"""u , slavery, tor we claim to be, heart and soul, an antislavery man.

FROM HAMILTON COUNTY. Westfield, Hamilton 60., Ind. ) July 31st, 1860. Mr. Editor: -I send you a line to let you know that the old line Democrats of this county are to a man for Breckinridge. The Douglas party is in a hopeless minority. I say that Douglas will not get twenty votes in this township. They are all making preparations to go up Salt River this fall.. Douglas stock is 200 per cent, below par. Now I defy any man to name

one State that Douglas will get. And what is the cause of this division in the Democratic party ? W hy are we to-day split up in two parts ? . Who has caused it ? I answer, Stephen Arnold Douglas. Well may he be called "Arnold, lie has Ijetrayed his party ; he stands this day charged by the American people with killing the party that has made him all he is or ever will be. For when Douglas' time is out in the Senate he will sink to rise no more. Douglas will go down to his political grave covered with the curses of thirty millions of people on his head. , Mr. Douglas has heaped such a load of intrigue and rascality upon himself that the hand of the resurrectionist will never find him. No man that advocates the principles he does, (if he has any) can ever see God. No man that will murder his father and mother, (politically I mean) can ever be saved ; and has he not clone so ? The verdict ol the American people will say, yes ! this fall. His days are numbered ! he has been weighed in the balances, and found wanting in honesty, wanting in truth, wanting in gratitude, and, in fact, wanting in all those great and noble principles that adorn a great and good man. We may be defeated this fall, but the time is coming when our principles will be taken up and adopted by the American people. Our principles are just, and founded upon the Constitution of our country ; our principles, when carried out, give satisfaction to all parts of our common country : the South will have her just claims respected ; the North, the East, and the West, will all be brought together, and peace and happiness will reign throughout our land; the " lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and a little child shall lead them. " So let us be up and doing, and let us never say, hold on I There is no discharge in this war. J. G. B. BRECKINRIDGE CLUB IN RISING SUN, OHIO COUNTY.

You may confidently look for a largely increased list of subscribers from this place, as our cause is gaining ground fast, in this locality.

If Mr. Douglas is the proper and representative exponent of the true, legitimate and constitutional Democracy, Benjamin Fitzpatrick and Herschel V, Johnson are both wrong; yet they have both been endorsed by the friends of Mr. Douglas. If they are Democrats then Mr. Breckinridge is one, for thev candidate for Vice President who is outside of tho Democratic party. If Mr. Breckinridge is a Democrat he is a Democratic candidate, and should be .iipSirted by Democrats. Mr. Douglas says no man is a emocrat who is opposed to simatter sovereignty and in favor of protection. If he is right then the squatters have nominated a man for the second highest of fice in the gift of the people who is not a Democrat. r "S 7? wnav consiu ues a mu,-'aL' " u, canuiuaie on u e u .... niui u Ot . member of that party.
