A Thouough-goino Party MAN.--Governor AA'eller, of California, announces liis intention to support Breckinridge, as follows: "I have left a sick bed to give the reasons why I cannot yield my support to Douglas. If Judge Douglas had been the nominee of the Democratic Convention, I would have yielded hira that same support which I have accorded to all the nominees of tho Democratic-party since I arrived at the years of manhood. I am a party man, in the strictest sense of the term. As a party man, you have compelled nie to vote for some men whom I recognize nowhere as gen

tlemen. fSensation.A I was compelled to vote for a trambler of 30 years' standing, to be High Sheriff of San i rancisco against LOi. dacit nays, no, n iouglas had been nominated, ho would have had my support. But the National Convention met and made no nomination. . So, I am absolved and now I am compelled to take the man whom 1 think the best fitted lor the place. Does any man suppose that the southern States would remain a day in the Uniou unless they could stand on an equal footing with you of the North ? Let no man say I am a 'northern man with southern principles.' I am a western man, with constitutional principles." W The New Orleans Delta gives a full report of the proceedings of a Breckinridge and Lane meeting in that city, at which Mr. Claiborne spoke, The Delta report concludes Mr. Claiborne, after more than an hour and a halfs speaking, retired amid unbounded enthusiasm, and the loung Men's Breckinridge and Lane Club then paraded the city in fine style, with bands of music, va riegated lanterns and banners. J. heir course was through the main parts of the city, and was marked by no offensive noises, and groans, and inhuman yells an example we hope soon to see obtain generally with all clubs. Very Decided. A Virginia paper, the Leesburg Mirror, has come out for Breckinridge, and expressed the following very decided opinion of Mr. Douglas. AA'e should judge there was no hope for Stephen A. in the neighborhood of Leesburg: "As to Stephen A. Douglas, a man whom we had at one time politically embosomed, we look upon him at this moment as one of the most heartless, cold and designing demagogues that ever did an injury to our party. To an arrogance unprecedented, he unites a dictatorial temper, which has led him to wade to his chin to rule or ruin his party.'- As to his squatter sovereignty doctrine, we hold it in more absolute contempt and unqualified detestation than we do the principle of the Wilinot Proviso." Half and Half. The heads of the Black Republican electoral ticket in New York are William C. Bryant and James O. Putnam, the latter of whom is one of the most rabid and inveterate Knovv-Nothings in the State, and has done more to proscribe and degrade foreign-lxrn citizens than any other man, with the exception of Mr. Ullman. The Black Republicans mix their ticket as many men do their liquor, half-aud half. Stale Sentinel. Well, that is bad enough ; but is it worse than mixing a ticket with twenty-five Douglas men and ten jSeW-wethers, as your friends and the Know-Nothings have done in New York ? The truth is, tho Lincoln and Douglas parties are vicing with each other, in forming coalitions with the K. N.'s everywhere; whilst the Breckinridge and Lane party depend for their success upon the support of true Democrats alone, without any mixture. ......''' O" The Baltimore Republican contradicts the story that Chief Justice Taney is a supporter of Douglas, and adds: Judge Taney, with that true dignity and propriety which has ever marked his course, has taken no active part in political affairs since he has accepted his present high position, and it would be utterly impossible for him to sustain Mr. Douglas in his direct opposition to the recorded opinions of the Court, and to his individual opinion as rendered in the Dred Scott case. We speak advisedly, when we emphatically contradict the assertion of the Douglas organ in this matter. If Chief Justice Taney votes at the Presidential election, it will not be for Mr. Douglas, but for that true Democrat and upholder of the Constitution, John C. Breck- . inridge. Squatter Sovereignty in 1854. While the Nebraska bill was under consideration in the Senate, Mr. Chase, of Ohio, offered the following amend- . ment : ' " The people of a Territory, through their appropriate representatives, if they see fit, may prohibit the existence of slavery therein." This was popular sovereignty, pure and undisguised, yet we find every Democratic Senator, Judge Douglas included, voting against it, while every Black Republican Senator voted for it. Now, Judge Douglas is trying to foist this miserable Black Republican dogma upon the Democratic party, and threatens to break up and destroy the organization unless it is received. Douglas at the Half-way House. Long John AVentworth says, in the Chicago Democrat: "Mr. Douglas is now at the half-way house; he does not know where his bread is buttered ; but, the next election and the next census will bring him clear up to the anti-slavery standard. Further on, the same paper says: " We infinitely prefer him (Douglas) to your Cushings, Pierces or Breckinridges, or any one else that runs upon pro-slavery doctrines." Douglas' Threat. Democrats! don't forget the threat made by Douglas, in his fight on the Lecompton Constitution, as reported by Mr. Kellogg, of Illinois, which has never been denied, that he would be found fighting in the great Northern party in 1860 that it was policy for him to remain in the party in order to hold certain of the rank and file, so that when he went over from the Democracy, lie could take the crowd with him, and when he got all over he would cut down the bridge and sink the boats. C3" It is decidedly rich to hear the sat elites of the sectional Squatter talk about our party being a "bolting party," when we have an electoral ticket in every State of the Uniou, and also newspapers advocating our cause in even- Stale, and even Kansas has a BnECKiNHiDor. pajier. It must have been an awful " bolt" which carried with it 36 out of 38 Democratic United States Senators, and almost every distinguished Democrat in the Union, both North ami South. If we arc " bolters," we are in mighty good coniany.

Please make them define their position, and oblige a host of Administration men, who cannot and will not vote for them until they declare which side they arc on. Yours, JOHNSON. Four More Douglas Delegates Decline. The Memphis (Tcnm) A valanche says: " The Douglas Convention at Nashville nominated for 6ub-elector, in AA'ashington county, John McLinn, a gentleman who, as sub-elector on the National Democratic ticket, has been in active canvass for Breckinridge and Lane. lie is justly indignant at the assumption of the Douglas party that he is with it." The Douglas cause is getting weaker and weaker in Tennessee. The Knoxvillo Register says : - " AA'e are authorized to state that Captain John J. Recce declines accepting the appointment of electoral candidate for the Second Congressional District on the Douglas ticket. He also declines serving on the executive ticket for Douglas." The Nashville 'nwn says : " AAre have a rumor from Cannon county that H. J. St. John, Esq., who was appointed Douglas elector for i the Fifth Congressional District, made a speech at ! AVoodbury on Monday night, in which he declined to ; accept the position. ' " A gentleman who lives in Jackson county was in ' our otlice yesterday, and informed us that Mr. Gal-j braith had declined the eleetoi'sliip on the Douglas ticket for the t ourth District. Why Don't he Answer? The telegraphic dispatches furnished the Cincinnati Enquirer by Mr. Douglas' private secretary, over the signature of " Cleveland," glorifies exceedingly over the reception given to the little sucker at points in Virginia. There is one part of the programme he entirely omits, however. AVhile addressing the crowd at Petersburg, he was asked tho following question, which had before been propounded to hiin at Bangor, in Maine : " Do you hold, and if elected President of the United States, would you carry out the doctrine that the people of a Territory, Itefore it becomes a State, have the power, under the Federal Constitution, and notwithstanding the. Dred Scott decision, to prohibit or ezclurie slavery therefrom t" Judge Douglas again evaded an answer to this ques tion, anu was as dumb as an oyster. .Sn;irjic(rf (.) Democrat. Aix f Breckinridge and Lane. Every Democratic Governor Ohio ever had, now living, is for Breckinridge and Lane. Ex-Governor AA'ood was President of the late Democratic Slate Convention, and Ex-Governor Medill is warm in the cause, as we also understand is Ex-Governor Shannon, now in Kansas.

The Stampede in the South Opposition friends of Breckinridge of Alabama. The Union Guard, Bell paper at Washington,', stated recently that what was represented as the State Bights Opposition Convention, which assembled in this city early in July, and declared for Breckinridge and Lane, was only a meeting of " Fire-eating Democrats." - - Where the Guard gets its information we cannot guess. AYro only know that the Convention was called by a paper now supporting Mr. Bell, and that the . members thereof were all Opposition - men in the contest between Judge and Clopton in 1859. The President, J. AV. Echols, Esq., of Macon, is an old State Rights Whig, has been a member of the Le gislature irom juacon, ana is a man oi prominence, influence and ability. Dr. Wm. II. Rives was a Vice President of the Convention, lie is well known in this part of Alabama, and in southeastern Texas, where he is a large planter. All Dr. R.'s political life has been one of devotion to the Whig cause, and he served the party in the Legislature faithfully. He is in favor of Breckinridge. Thos. J. Judge, Esq., our late candidate for Congress, took a leading part in the Convention,and made the ablest speech he ever delivered on the occasion. For Breckinridge 1 Hon. AV. P.

Jos. 1). Hooper, Esq., one of the main stays of the Opposition in this county for twenty years, was a member, and is for Breckinridge. Col. Lowis Tyus, a Vice President of the Convention, was always a State Rights AVhig. It is said but wo do not know certainly that he is for Breckinridge. Dr. Robert J. AVare, another member, is a wellknown citizen, and has been in both the Senate and House from Montgomery. A State Rights AVhig leader, he is now for Breckinridge. Col. ATm. Taylor, another member, is known to every one in the region as a consistent old Whig. Ho is for Breckinridge. Col. Charles II. Molton, Opposition representative !

in the Legislatare, session before last, was a member of j.eaeu congressional district to represent tne ucmothe Convention. No man of his ago has more influ- ratie party of Georgia in the adjourned Convention

ence among his fellow-citizens, and he is "strong" for Breckinridge. Dr. AAr. R. Cunningham, member of the House from Macon, an intelligent and patriotic old State Rights AVhig, is also for our ticket. But we have not the roll of the Convention by us, and so cannot continue our list. A few "outsiders of the Opposition, who are for Breckinridge and Lane zealously, will be out ot place, S. F. Hale, Esq., of Greene, a member of the last Legislature, having been elected by the Opposition, is considered one of the best lawyers and best debaters in the State. He is in the field for Breckinridge and Lane. A.Jay and AArm. Ashley, Esqs., of Conecuh, are we hear, for Breckinridge. They are leading minds of their section, and have long headed the Oprosition. Both have served in the Legislature. lion. AV. Keys, late Chancellor of this Division, a Jurist whose works are in high repute, is for Breckinridge. ' Jesse Jones, Esq., of Augusta, Editor of the Prattsville Statesman,long aleading Opposition man, is working for Breckinridge. Daniel Pratt, Esq., the founder of the rich and prosperous manufacturing village of Prattville, who is known as a man of great judgment and prudcnce,and of the highest personal character, we learn, is for Breckinridge. In North Alabama, we hear, AA'm. and Jas. Jackson, Esqs., two gentlemen heretofore prominent as Oppositionists, are out for Breckinridge. The former has served both in the House and Senate, and both are well known in Alabama and Tennessee. J. R. Phillips, Esq., Opposition candidate last summer, for the House, in Chambers, is for Breckinridge. Col. Alfred Gaudy, of Butler, formerly of Chambers, recently declared for Breckinridge. His influence will be felt, for there are few men who do not " stumj) it, " who exercise as much influence as he does. . ' . John McCaskill, Esq., who ran for Congress in Mr. Stall-worth's district as an Opposition candidate, we hear, has come out for Breckinridge. Hr.nann Hmrovoi frnTTr TVrrinrr flnr in flonro-in'. i

Herschel V. Johnson, the Douglas Candidate

for Vice President. The Democratic papers of tho South, (almost unan imously charge llersclicl V. John.-on with being in favor ot that which the Douglas papers call a Slave Code, and when the charge is made the proof is given to sustain it. The proof is nof derived from a speech got off on the impulse, but is from Johnson's own hand is not of old, but is of recent date. After the disruption of the Charleston Convention, the Democrats of Georgia were called together in a Delegate State Convention, in order to select delegates to the adjourned Convention in Baltimore. Mr. Herschel V.Johnson was a Douglas delegate, and was on the committee on Resolutions. The majority report sustained the Constitutional doctrine of the subject of Slavery in the Territories, ard endorsing the action of the recusant delegates at Charleston, again accredited them at Baltimore. Mr. Johnson from the minority of the committee also made a report, and because the Convention would not sanction the views he and his colleagues expressed, the Douglas men in a body left the Convention and organized a bogus concern and went through the farce of appointing delegates to Baltimore with Johnson at the head ; but the farce was 'too broad for even the Douglas faction to follow, and Mr. Johnson, and bis delegates, were the only bogus delegates refused a seat at Charleston. Below we give the minority report of Johnson at the Georgia State Couvention, word for word, as it was reported, and word for word as he and his colleagues demanded that it should be adopted as the Democratic doctrine. It was not adopted, and John son carneu out his threat. MINORITY REPORT. Resolved, ThaJve re-affirm the Cincinnati Platform, with the following additional propositions: 1. That the citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property of any kind, m the organized .territories ot the United states, and that under the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Dred Scott, which we recognize as the correct exposition of the Constitution in this particular, slave property stands upon the same footing as all other descriptions of property, and that neither the General Government, nor any Territorial i UOVerilUlUMI , can urairav or 1IIIN.U1' me 1'lKlll lu M't property, in the Territories, stand upon the same equal and broad constitutional basis, and subject to like principles ot recognition and protection in the legislative, judicial, and executive departments of the Government. 2. That we will support any man who may be nominated by the Baltimore Convention, for the Presidency, who holds the principles set forth in the foregoing proposition, and who will give them his endorsement, and that we will not hold ourselves bound to support any man, who may be the nominee, who entertains principles inconsistent with those set forth in the above propositions, or who denies that slave property in the Territories does not stand on an equal footing and on the same constitutional basis of other descriptions of property. In view of the fact that a large majority of the delegates from Georgia felt it to be their duty to withdraw from the late Democratic Convention at Charleston, thereby depriving this State of her vote therein, according to the decision of said Convention Resolved, That this Convention will appoint twenty delegates four from the State at Large, and two from at Baltimore, on the 18th mat., and that said delegates be and are hereby instructed to present the foregoing propositions, and ask their adoption bv the .National Democratic Convention. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON, "Tiros. F. Saffold, II. K. Mc'Cay, A. Colvahd. FusionIs it Possible ? Some of pur friends are disposed to find fault with the Day-Book because it does not advocate fusion and unite with those who, it, is said, are disposed (o lay aside all other considerations and combine together to defeat Lincoln in New York, and thus, as it is believed, or assumed, to save the nation from the chances of a serious crisis or possible calamity. Now, leaving out of view all considerations touching principles, and, as we believe, of sound policy as well as principle, and looking at this fusion business as a mere material or practicable matter the question arises, can it be done, or can the supporters of Breckinridge and Lane unite with those of Messrs. Bell and Douglas in opposition to Lincoln and the Republicans? The Douglas and Bell men have united, with the understanding, it is said, that Hell shall have ten electoral votes and Uouglas the remainder, and they seem to get along very well together. Of course our neighbor of the Express, who has denounced the "red-necked Irish" and "lop-eared Dutch " for so many years past, and pitched into the "pro-slavery .agitators" and Missouri Compromise repealers, without mercy, has had all these batteries spiked, and Douglas, instead of a reckless demagogue, is now, in its view, a "marvelously proper man" for the Presidency, if John Bell cannot be elected. The Douglas organ, the Daily Xeics, is equally magnanimous as its confrere of the Express. It never lisps a word about the narrow bigotries and bloody doings of the Plug Uglics, or other classes of rowdy KnowNothings, which a short time since made up its principal stock in trade, but on the contrary, lovingly unites with the Express in denouncing sectionalism, and in showing the danger to the country, should it succeed either with Lincoln or Breckinridge. course thev will damage their own interests their own tickeU Cal, ,11PV do this? Can Douglas give truer sentence than the above. The Breckinridge! clement is not of the dissolving kind. X. Y. Journal tf Commerce.

The Union. This is a hackneyed subject now. Demagogues, conscious of no other claim on the confidence of the people, are all assuming a virtue they have not. Their professions of love for the Union are in inverse proportion to their real sentiments. Their clamors are too loud to be sincere they evince an anxiety to be regarded Union men per se altogether inconsistent with an earnest determination to make any sacrifices, personal or political, to perpetuate the Republic as it is ; they cannot conceal their fears that the honest people will see through their hypocrisy and rebuke their knavery ; and putting their fingein in their ears, they bellow Union ! Union ! even while acting with those whose triumph will be the last of the Constitution and the end of the Union. No American who loves his country, or ig worthy to r-- .i ..-'....i-

" J I i.iwigcB ui a ii-ceiumi, IB ucdiiiuic ui n 0111cero attachment for the Union ; and none but those who feel themselves wanting in loyalty and devotion to the Constitution are afraid of their patriotism being Btispected or their honesty questioned. The fact that mere politicians the leaders of broken, desperate, hopeless factions are exceedingly anxious just now to demonstrate their loyalty to the Uniou, and to east suspicion on the fidelity of tried patriots and eminent statesmen, should and will satisfy intelligent men that, however it may be with others, they are not themselves to be trusted. The Douglas men and the Bell men vie with the Black Republicans in denouncing Southern disunionists and in professing love for the Union. "Down with Disunion !" says Seward. "Down with Disunion 1" says Crittenden. "Down with Disunion !" says Soule. "AVe aro for the Union !" say the Black Republicans. "AA'e are for the Union !" repeat the Bell men. "AVe are for the Union 1" shout the Douglas men. They are equally honest. Their joint charge against the true men of the nation is false, in whole and in part. They care nothing forthe Union, and those they denounce as Disunionists are led by men who are ready to peril life and fortune for the Union, as they have in times past perilled both for their glorious country. The Douglas organ here but a few days since endorsed the Southern Confederacy as an efficient advocate and true friend of Douglas. Yet at fhat time the following paragraph, with many others of the same character, had appeared in its columns: " AAre answer this interrogatory ' by simply stating " that, the South will never permit Abraham Lincoln " to be inaugurated President of the United States. " TJiis is a settled and sealed fact. It is the detcrmin- " ation of all parties at the South. And let the con- " sequences be what they may whether the Potomac " is crimsoned in human gore, and Pennsylvania Ave- " nue is paved ten fathoins in depth with mingled " bodies, or whether the last vestige of liberty is swept " from the face of the American Continent, the South, " the loyal South, the constitutional South, will never " submit to such humiliation and degradation as the " inauguration of Abraham Lincoln." And the Democrat, acting with and endorsing the Confederacy, calls Breckinridge and Lane disunion leaders and their friends disunionists ! The Journal, speaking for tho Union party men of the State, joins in the clamor, and swells the disunion cry against Breckinridge and Lane and the people of the South. Last year supporting a State ticket which advocated immediate protection to slave property in the Territories, it now charges treason upon those who do not go as far as it then went, on account of their doctrines. Assailing Douglas in the strongest terms at its command, accusing him of perjury and faithlessness, declaring that there is no " element of truth, no basis of confidence in him," it now gives him aid and comfort, and joins his friends in attacking Mr. Breckinridge, of whom it has entertained a favorable opinion as a man of ability and honor. The people, intelligent, honest, and patriotic, properly appreciate the professions of these suspiciously zealous Union Savers, whether Black Republicans, Douglasites, or Bell men ; and they will not be long in determining who are to be trusted in this crisis, and their confidence will be given to those who will not abuse it.
