Mr. Editor: I see by reading your valuable paper that the Douglas State Central Committee has declined to accept the proposition made them by the Breckinridge Democracy of the State of Indiana to form a union or but one electoral ticket for our State. : ; This rejection of our honorable Democratic compromise is no more than could have been expected from the leaders of the Douglas portion, whose motto is rule or ruin. In thus rejecting our proposition, which a large majority of the true Democracy of In. diana recognize as honorable, and carrying with it a spirit of purely Democratic harmony and'eonsistency, only proves that in the strength of theirman, Stephen Arnold Douglas, they have no confidence. While it is to be regretted that we are thusdivided, the Breckinridge Democracy have the consoling re flection, of knowing that they have done all that was honorable to concentrate and unite the distracted el ements of our glorious and once invincible party. The same regret is felt by a great portion of the Douglas wing of the party, especially by those who do not pull and work the wires of that faction. It may be said that Breckinridge is not the regular nominee of the party. Admit the fact. Wo in truth, and with the same consistency, say, neither is Douglas, and, placing them on an equality, so far as regularity is concerned, there is this important consid eration,' viz., Mr. Breckinridge was put in nomina tion by regular delegates, representing nearly all the reliable Democratic States of the Union, while, by trickery and deception, Mr. Douglas was nominated by delegates representing the Republican and Abolition States of the Union. In view of our proposition being rejected, and all the circumstances surrounding us in the present political canvass, the question recurs, shall we stand by our colors, and with our platform of principles, based upon the Constitution and the Union, which is broad enough for all to stand npon, the North and the South, the East and the West, with the gallant I

Breckinridge standing proudly npon it as ouri leader. ' I Kokomo, August 24, 1860. I say I am decidedly in favor of "maintaining our1 Mr. Editor: We cannot boast of a very large numpositioii, for better will it be for the Democracy to ber of National Democrats in Howard, but such as we

nffi'iitiff with Knor-Xntiinff. I ay, let ns make a

clean thing of this matter, by calling, at an early day, a State mass or delegate Convention, for the purpose of nominating a purely Democratic Breckinridge State ticket; for, as Breckinridge men, we must choose between Breckinridge men and the Douglasites, who have affiliated with bloody Sam, or the Know-Nothings and Abolitionists. Shall we make the choice? and by our actions and votes show these truckling Douglasites that we will not vote for men who will affiliate with any other faction or ism opposed to the Democracy of the Jefferson stripe? In this the ("Burnt,") Fifth District, we have two candidates, one of whom is an acknowledged Abolitionist, who, to his praise be it spoken, is consistent, for he avows it openly.

I make these suggestions in order that an expression may be had from other members of the State r.ontral Cnmmkt.p.ei. and members of the sound Breckinridge Democratic party. I hope that there will be no flinching or hesitating on the part of-any member of the Committee, as well as other Breckinridge Democrats, in giving their honest opinions in regard to what course we shall pur sue, for surely there can De no great lnconwswuuj m runnine Breckinridge electors, and at the same time supporting a State ticket composed, in part of Douglas men, if not in toto, The .Breckinridge party have nothing, whatever, to lose, but, on the contrary, they have everything to gain, so iar as the State of Indiana is concerned. Now, gentlemen, come up to the scratch, face the music, and let us show these Douglasites that we mean just "what we say! , Consistency, thou art a jeioel! Hoping to hear from those who are, in common with myself, all sound Administration Democrats, interested in and for the preservation of our Union, I am, dear sir, yours, truly, ' Alex. White. From Vanderburg County, ' Evansville, Ang. 24, 1860. Mr. Editor: Since I last wrote you, I have learned that the Douglas State Central Committee, of which Mr. N. B. Palmer is chairman, have rejected the offer made to them by the Democrats, whose unalterable determination it is to vote for John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane for President and Vice President of these United States ; to consolidate the electoral ticket in this State. What their motive is, they know best ; but I do think it strange that they will refuse to coalesce with us, and yet fall with satisfaction into the prostitute embraces of the remnant of the Know Nothing faction. Their conduct, however, is of a piece, and if consistency in political roguery is a recommendation and an advantage, I hope they will reap al the benefit they anticipate. They desire us to crouch and creep at their bidding ; but I, for one, never will do so. and thousands are readv to cm, Amen! The separation is, then, final and complete, so far as this campaign is concerned. Let us, therefore, like men, accept the gage of battle they throw to us, burnish our accoutrements, sharpen our weapons, throw away the scabbard, accept nor give quarter, and if we are beaten, let it at least be said, we made a good fight, and merit the esteem of those who admire principle and honesty. It has been said by the mendacious scribblers, and purchased mouth-pieces of our opponents, that our candidates are disunionists, slavery extensionists, and all that sort of thing; and when we ask these cunning tricksters, these defamers of better men than themselves for their proof, they dodge the demand; but 'the paws of the dogs have soiled the lawn.' Were it necessaiy, we might with gratified pride point to the long public services of Breckinridge and Lane; point to their trted valor in the field, their devotion to principle in the forum, their unsullied integrity in all the situations of their lives. In them we see no tergiversation. They have been as true to their pledges as the needle to the pole. Need less discussion they have invariably deprecated, and only when great measures were in dispute, have they been forward to press their opinions upon the attention of their fellow men, and the course they have adopted and advised and advocated has always been right Can that much be said in behalf of the leaders of our opponents ? It is humiliating and mortifying to hear men who have any self-respect, any regard for truth, and any claim to be considered Democrats, stigmatize our President, the "old public functionary." "O! shame, where is thy blush?" Four short years ago, and with these very men, who was so reputable, so famous for all that is great in talent, so deserving for meritorious services, and so distinguished for all that dignifies every position in life, as James Buchanan. Now, with them who so infamous? Before these men, villify and calumniate another, could they but view themselves, what monsters in human shape would they not behold. For my humble part, I admire, es. teem, and regard James Buchanan as heartily to-day as I ever did, and so do the honest yeomanry, the bone and sinew of our nation. It is your Sore Heads, your disappointed office-seekers of 1856 and since, and your incapables and dishonest ones, whom he con scientiously displaced, that dislike him. By such a gang, to be derided and decried, is aa honor; were they to praise, they would reduce him from the proud elevation which he occupies in the estimation of good men, to the detestable level which they themselves occupy. In the Pocket, things are progressing. We arc still confident. We" heed not the drivelings of the enemy. They only preach to the wind when they try to divert us from the manifest path of our duty. On Saturday evening last, we held our first local meeting. We meet again on Thursday next, when we will permanently organize. It is said Mr. Senator Fitch will be here and address us on the 7th prox. AVe will give him a kindly welcome. We are cheered by the news which greets us from abroad; but we are not easily elated, nor very easily depressed, as our enemies will find to their cost before the election is over. So they may as well turn honest and truthful. Breckinridge and Lane Democrat are the simon pure. VIATOR. From Howard County. have are men of intelligence and firmness, men who do not believe that squatter sovereignty " underlies" the Constitution. We have been laboring to procure subscribers for the Guard, with but little success. The objection is frequently raised against it, that it endorses the State ticket They look upon k to be as much a Douglas ticket as the electors who were appointed at the State Convention held in January last Why vote for the one and not the other ? Why not rote for the electoral ticket made in January, and reject the State tk ket? What if the difference ? We have

got rid of, or partly so, of the Douglas party in our State. The time has now come, since their flat rejection of the "olive branch," to wipe out the last vestige of union set up entirely upon our own hook and make a more perfect organization by forming a National Democratic State ticket, new Congressional candidates for the Districts, and form full county tickets, all over the State. Our mind is made up not to vote the State ticket, of which Mr. Hendricks stands at the head. Why not eat the devil at once, as well as to lick his broth ? We witness in the case of Missouri what may be our ease, if we help to elect the present State ticket, The unscrupulous squatter sovereign toadies will raise the cry all over the broad land Douglas triumph over Breckinridge. Shall wo voluntarily and knowingly manufacture the implements of our own destruction ? Shall we, lamb-like, lick the hand of the butcher who is to slay us ? If we presume the State ticket is not a Douglas ticket, we may equally presume the electoral ticket formed in January last is not a Douglas ticket. Then what have we gained by forming a new electoral ticket in July ?

Tho Old Line Guard is a good paper, but all must admit that the Douglas State ticket is a foul blot upon its bright pages. G. Laporte CountyDemocratic Pole-Raising, Kingsbury, August 27, I860. Last Saturday was a glorious day for the National Democracy of Laporte county. Early in the day, the people began to flock into the village, and notwithstanding the Douglas organ of this county had asserted that there were but twenty-five Breckinridge Democrats in this county, by noon, the number had swelled to about one thousand. About 1 o'clock P. M.,the pole-raising began, the preparations having been made the day before, and a beautiful pole, of tough old hickory.over one hundred feet in length, was raised and planted in less than half an hour. The Band then escorted a procession of thirtythree young ladies, dressed in white, to the ground near the pole, representing tho thirty-three States of our glorious Union, who presented to the committee the flag, which was run up with the names of Breckinridge and Lane inscribed upon its folds, amidst enthusiastic shouts of the assembled multitudes, firing of cannon, and the Band playing a National air. After a brief and appropriate speech by D. J. Woodward, Esq., to the ladies representing the States, the company wa? invited to a beautiful bower, where the table was spread, fairly groaning under the weight of numerous baked pigs, fowls, and various other eatables which the ladies had provided for the occasion. After dinner it was announced that M. K. Farrand, Esq. would address the people in the grove, where preparations had already been made. The crowd, headed by the Band, mirched to the place designated, and Mr. Farrand was then introduced to the meeting, and delivered an able and eloquent speech for Breckinridge and Lane, and their platform of principles. When he closed, three cheers were given for Breckinridge and Lane, and three cheei-3 for the ladies. In the evening, a large lantern was run up the pole, with tho candidates' names on the sides, and a large pile of rails, with one of Old Abe's mauls, was burn ed amidst the roaring of cannon, and shouts of the crowd. E. II. It. Grand Mass Meeting, MR. BRECKINRIDGE WILL PEOPLE. ADDRESS THE The subjoined correspondence will rivet the atten tion of the whole country. It bears upon its face all the explanation necessary to the dispassionate ana in-i telligent reader. The unusual demand made by his friends, and Mr. Breckinridge's acquiescence in its propriefy,may surprise those who know his repugnance to such a course. But when proper weight is given to the considerations upon which this correspondence rests, the reader cannot withhold his entire approval of the course into which Mr. Breckinridge seems to have been literally driven by the extraordinary attitude of the canvass: August 18, 1860. Hon. John C. Breckinridge, Lexington, Ky.: Dear Sir: Your friends of this Congressional Div trict, have deputed us to request you to address the people, (at a barbecue to be given by them to suit your convenience,) for the purpose of publicly vindicating yourself from the violent personal assaults made upon you since your nomination for the Presidency at Baltimore. They have been induced to make this request more particularly, because you have been assailed from the "stump" by Judge Douglas, at Concord, and Mr. Crittenden, at Louisville; the former charging you with having uttered extreme opinions in favor of squatter sovereignty, and the latter asserting that as the Presidential candidate of the National Democracy, you are the head of a disunion party; we wish to afford you the opportunity publicly to repel these assaults, believing no just man would be disposed te require that vou should, bv vour silence, permit charces so unjust to be promulgated under the authority of these distin- . . r. mi , f 1.1" 1 guisnea men. i.ne propriety oi inus puuuciy Bumpmg as false these and other accusations, is the more obvious When we reflect, that for the last three years, you have not had the right to speak in the Senate, although by law its presiding officer; and because tho obvious motive of these personal assaults is to weaken the confidence of tho people in the National and Constitutional Democracy. Will you permit us to urge you to name an early day when it may suit your convenience to meet and address us. Very truly and respectfully your friends, William JonNSON, Junius R. Ward, Asa Payne, A.

Gentlemen : I have received your letter of the 1 8th 5nst.. in which, on behalf of my friends of this ton sessional District, you invite me to address the people, for the purpose of vindicating myself from the violent personal assaults made upon me since my nomin ation for the f residency at uaiumore. I have not proposed at any time to take part in the political discussions of the day. To this letter, bowpver. I reeoniize the sitrnatures of many of mv oldest .nl mnrf eWUtipd fripnds. whose wishes are with me almost commands: and after some reflection, I have resolved to accept your mvnauon; noi inai cunsiur.r any defence necessary before my neighbors and old constituents, but beca'use it may be well to group together and refute, in a public and authentic manner, accusations remarkable for their number, their injustice, and the persistency with which they have been nm.il annmet m I fl that it Would b UTiiuJt to my principles, my friends nd myself to rcnwin Ion -

It will be agreeable to meet my fellow-citizens on any day and atany place that you may select. Very truly your friend, JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE. His friends have designated the 5th of September as the time for the address, and White Sulphur, Scott County, as the place of the meeting. A tremendous assemblage of the people is anticipated, and measures will be taken for their hospitable entertainment. The Democracy of the Ashland District extend a cordial invitation to the people of tho whole State to bo present, and pledge their utmost efforts for their warm reception and best accommodation. Ourfricnds in other States who may join us will meet a sincere welcome. -Neither labor nor expense will be spared in the entertainment of all who may attend. Hon. John C. Breckinridge having consented to address his fellow-citizens, arrangements are being perfected for the largest assemblage of people ever gathered together in the State. Invitations to attend the meeting and speak have been extended to D. S. Dickinson and Franklin Pierce, and it is believed both will be present A number of the ablest men in the nation will cetainly make speeches. -Frankfort Yeoman. The Right Way and the Wrong Way , Democrats, Which Do You Choose?

Tn the State of North Carolina, in the late i lectiou, Mr. Ellis was the regular nomineo of tho Democratic party, for Governor. Ho was a Breckinridge man; but nevertheless, the Democrats united on him, and elected him. This was as it should have been. In Missouri, C. F. Jackson was the regular Democratic nominee for Governor. He was a Douglas man, but nevertheless, the Democrats, with a trilling exception, united upon him, notwithstanding the effort to draw off the Breckinridge men by some extreme spirits who brought out a Breckinridge candidate. This, again, was all right. In Kentucky, Clinton McCIarty was the regular Democratic nominee for the office of Clerk of the Court of Appeals. He was a Breckinridge man. The Douglas men behaved very badly toward him, we are sorry to say. Thp.v refused to sunnort him, and brought out Mr. Boiling, a Douglas candidate for the same office. They even refused to support Mr. Boiling, but in large numbers went clear over and voted tor Gen. Combs, the regular nominee of the Opposition party. The Louisville Courier says: "Mr. McCIarty, the Breckinridge candidate, was nominated by the Convention duly called, constitutional according to the usage in this State, and which was irregular in no respect. "The Douglas men in Kentucky voted for a KnowNothing rather than McCIarty." Nor did the Douelas men of Kentucky have the inducement of political principle to lead them away from their party. They supported General Combs in the face of his commitment against popular sovereignty. The Opposition of Kentucky held a State Convention at Frankfort, February 22, I860, over which Gen. Leslie Combs presided. This Convention adopted a platform, upon which Gen. Combs stood during the canvass, and upon which he was sup-1 ported and elected. The eighth resolution is as follows: 8. We deny the power of the people of the Territories prior to the formation of a State Constitution, by legislation, or otherwise, to impair any right which any citizen of the United States possesses under the Federal Con- , stitution, in the Territories. We stand by the principles of the Compromise Measures of 1850, which were subsequently adopted by almost the entire people of the Union." In the face of this resolution, which says, and was defigned to say, all that the Breckinridge platform says, and which condemns, and was designed to condemn Judge Douglas's views on Popular Sovereignty in the Territories, the Douglas men in Kentucky left the Democratic nominee for a State office, and voted for Gen. Combs. Combs has a right to claim them as permanent accessions to his party, as doubtless they will prove to be. They were told by Miles Taylor to form no alliance with the Breckinridge Democracy, to treat even any suggestions from them as insults. But they go into the arms of a common adversary without a word of rebuke. Nay, they are applauded for it, by the mad spirits of their number; and it is now openly declared that while they have only war for the Breckinridge men, there is to be a coalition of the Douglas and Bell men in every State in the Union. Efforts are un doubtedly being made to eflect it; ana the exuiDition in Kentucky shows that no recollections of the past, and no present differences of opinion are held sufficient to prevent some from entering the unnatural alliance. Virginia Sentinel. The National Democracy. In looking around us and calmly and dispassionately viewing the two wings of the Democratic party, and the men of distinction that compose tho leaders of tho Breckinridge and Lane organization, wo are inclined to believe that all the rotten branches of the venerable tree of Democracy are about to drop off, and although we mav be beaten in the coming contest, our apparent loss will turn out a profit, because the whole race of demagogues that have clung to us nice leecnes to an unsound body, will file off, and the "sober second thought," will bring back the honest but deluded masses of our old time-honored organization. Like Judas, when he imagined the fortunes of his master were becoming desperate, this "rump faction" is now selling itself to the Know-Nothings, not like their forerunner, however, for cash in hand, but for the pitiful prospect of plundering the people, whom they are to deceive, through their false and treacherous leader and his odious doctrines! Instead of complaining, we should thank God that we are rid of these broken-down, weather-beaten, piratical political gamblers. We should have no tears to shed over the unsatisfied lust of these hungry cormorants who have gone off from us and falsely bore the name of Democrats, and are now auctioneering themselves off to a party, which from its inception is marked with the blackest of crime a party that can boast of such captains as Ned Buntline and the prowling banditti he had the honor, after graduating in the penitentiary and on the gallows, to organize against the Democracy of America! By this infamous operation of the adherents of Mr. Douglas, they may, for the present, become more numerous than the party they have betrayed, but as treason never prospers, the day will dawn ere long when a corporal's guard will be wanting to do honor to the poor corpse of Squatter Sovereignty. And as we remarked before, the "sober second thought" will bring back the true men now teiuced from their allefiance by the Belial doctrines of the Senator from IInois, and induced to worship at the altar of the strange gpds born of his political schism. They will, when fully advised of his new fangled dogma, of its unsound, untenable and perfidious nature, return to the faith of their fathers and to the protection of that banner beneath whose folds they so frequently marched to victory. Martin Van Buren was once as inflated as Mr. Douglas. Where is he now? " Buried in his own ruin, Mocked by his own desolation." The ladder by whose assistance he had climbed into the clouds of political greatness, he spurned, and he fell, as all traitors should fall, scorned and contemned by the loyal and true everywhere Mr. Douglas might read a profitable lesson in the fate of Mr. Van Buren it is the prototype of his owu. And after his name is lost in oblivion", and his foolish doctrines lie buried in a cold and dishonored grave, the National Democratic party will go on in i f illustrious career, conquering and to conquer, the stronger and the better by being freed from the punic policy of an ambitious, haughty and dictatorial chief.

fi3T The Douglasites and Know-Nothings of New York have united I What do you think, Germans and Irishmen, of being sold and Belled like sheep, by those to whom you have entrusted your political rights? You are sold and driven into the camp and compelled to "strike hands" with your old Know-Nothing enemies, those who drove you" from the polls in 1855; those who shot down, murdered and burnt your wives and children, and swore to excludeyou irom every office of honor and emolument 1 Will you tamely submit to the sale ? Will you follow those who counsel and abet such a movement ? Will you longer doubt that these men planned and plotted the overthrow of the party organization for the benefit of Douglas and themselves, and are willing to sell you into eternal bondage, if needs be, to gratify their own selfish ends ? If you are willing to forget the wrongs and outrages heaped upon you forget the time when the " bones of your wives and children crackled in " the Know-Nothing fires of Louisville," and allow yourselves to be bartered off, your God and your country should forget you.' Eaton (O.) National Democrat. , Doctors Disagree. The "squatter sovereign," Douglas, declares that Congress has no power to interfere to protect the owner of slaves in the enjoyment of his property in the Territories, while the Supreme Court declares that, under the Constitution, Congress is bound to protect property of every description. It says: ' "No word can be found in the Constitution which gives Congress greater power over slave property or which entitles property of that kind to less protection than property of any other description. The only power conferred is the power coupled with the duty of guarding and protecting the owner in his rights." - We know Mr. Douglas says he does not care how tho court decides the question ; but we think the people estimate absolute rights higher than he does, and that they do not care for the decision of the highest tribunal known to our laws, and that they will insist that if a Territorial Legislature violates the C onstitution by refusing to protect its citizens in their ligbu, Congress is bound to provide a remedy. Capital City Ki The prospects of Breckinridge were never, in our opinion, more promising than they are at present. A large number ot the Southern States be is sure of, even if the Douglas men unite with the Bell men against him, as it is not improbable they will. In most if not all the other Southern States he 1 as a better chanco than either of the opposing candidates separately, and can only be defeated by a combination of pretended extra-fine Democrats with the regular Opposition against real Democrats. The Breckinridge men have never done this in a single inttance, that we are aware ot.N. Y. Journal of Commerce.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED BY THE PEOPLE. That every Democratic United States Senator save only Mi-. Pugh and Mr. Douglas, endorses the nomination of Breckinridge and Lane, and will render good aid in electing them. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE! That in the House of Representatives three-fifths at least, of the Democratic members, go the same ticket KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE! That ex-President Pierce, and so far as heard from, every member of his Cabinet, are openly in the field for Breckinridge and Lane, the Union and the Constitution. . ... KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE! That James Buchanan and every member of his Cabinet, including Gen. Cass, the leader of the Denioora'iy in the campaign of 1848, are firm in their support of the nominees of the Democracy Breckinridge and Lane. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! , That Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, and the most prominent men of the party in every State of the Union, have declared the same way. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! That seventeen of the States of the Union areas certain to cast their votes for Breckinridge and Lane aa that the 6un will rise on the morning of the election. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE! That the Electoral College consists of SOS votes,two thirds of which are 202 Douglas' vote on the last ballot was 181$ votes or 20J less than the requisite two-thirds which his friends at Charleston voted for. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! That when it became apparent to the friends of Judge Douglas that he could not receive 20$ more votesthen they gave him the regular (!) nomination by a trick, and declared he was " nominated unan- ' imously." - THE WHOLE TRUTH IN A NUT-SHELL. The whole number of votes cast were 194$. There were 108 delegates absent, and not voting, even after the admission of the bogus delegates from Alabama and Louisiana. Deducting these, there were but 189$ regular legal delegates or 123 less than a full Convention present. Of the Free State delegates, 8 from Maine, 8 from Massachusetts, 2$ from Connecticut, 4$ from New Jersey, and 1 7 from New York 30 in all had seceded.
