Good Tidings from Missouri. Missouri is the only slave State in the Union which tho friend!) of the little Sucker have claimed; and the only basis for their claim is, that at the last State

election, a friend of Douglas, who was nominated by tho united Democracy before tho split at Charleston, was elected Governor. Be this as it may since that election, the State has been thoroughly canvassed by Senators l'olk and.Ureen, Judge Bowliu, and other strong friends of Bueokinuidge and Lane, with the happiest results. The people have beeu thoroughly aroused and properly informed upon the great question at issue before the country, as well as to the claims ,s ii Uiv..r:il candidates for President: and now it is thought that Douglas will scarcely get " twenty thousand votes outside of St. Louis." The Bulletin of that city says : " Senator Polk, who returned last Saturday from the western part of the State, informed us that the best feeling exists everywhere ; that many old Democrats, who were at first' disposed to vote for Douglas, under the mistaken apprehension that hu had been regularly nominated, have discovered their error, and have already declared their purpose to rote for Breckinridge and Lane, and that many others are about to follow their example. IIo seems to entertain no doubt that Breckinridge's vote will greatly exceed Douglas' in this State. "Judge Bowlin, who has been speaking along the lino of the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad, brings us the same gratifying intelligence. Senator Green writes in the linest spirits, declaring that Breckinridge is gaining everywhere, and that he believes the vote of Missouri will be given to Breckinridge and Lane. From the Southeast, the news is particularly cheering. Many counties will give an almost unanimous vote for our candidates. "Mr. Polk has zone there, and will address the people at as many pointi as he possibly can, between now and the niee'ting of the State Convention. Let ters received from all parts of the State encourage us to believe that the Democracy will be almost a unit bv the first Tuesday in November, and that they will f've Breckinridge and Lane -g larger vote than any residential candidate has ever received in Missouri. As to Douglas, he cannot, under any circumstances, get 20,000 votes outside of St. Louis. His strength will li sensibly diminished, even here, by the deser tion of his friends to Lincoln. Our only fear is, that the Douglasites will not run an electoral ticket, but cast their votes for Bell, in order to defeat Breckinridge. If they do not do this, the vote of Missouri will be surely cast tor lireckinrnlge ana iane. The Northwest (Mo.) Democrat says : Although we have all the time believed that Mis souri would cast her vote, tor the nominees of the true Democracy, we must confess that we were uot prepared to see the political skies grow so suddenly bright, and to see the great mass of the Voters of the State simultaneously rush to the rescue of the honor of the State, hv rail vi nor around the standard of their country, borne aloft by those soldiers and patriots, Breckinridge and Lane. , Our exchanges are teeming with the most cheering and glowing accounts of the progress of our glorious cause among the people. Throughout the whole length and breadth of tho State, meetings are being held, which, for numbers and enthusiasm, are unparalleled in the history of parties in the State. The neonle in every country and every neighborhood are speaking out in tones that cannot bo mistaken. The tide of popular feeling in Missouri for Breckinridge and Lane, is irresistible, and ere November will have engulphed in utter ruin the last vestige of Douglas auoiiuonism. .m The Scenes' at Jones' Woods when the little Sucker arrived. The New York World gives the following sketch of the scenes at Jones' AVoods, in which the little Dodger and lu's squatter sovereign worshipers partici pated: : . . ' "It was a general, promiscuous scramble, in which the food disappeared in a 1 winkling, not altogether ., ,, 1 i t"k ,..i,;ta down tne tnroais oi me mingi. im gu loaves were thrown into the air, and men pelted each other with biscuit, until the ground , was white with the fragments, or pursued each other, contesting the possession of beef bones. Here might have been observed a boy securing, with difficulty, half a dozen loaves; there a couple of men, their teeth diligently employed on an anomalous-looking fragment of roast heifer ; elsewhere a little party surrounding the dismembered hoar. Suppose an occasional shower of salt, a few barrels sportively distributed on the heads of the .multitude, spasmodic cheers, the Danu playing patriotic tuues, the wind blowing, the dust flying, the mob increasing, and you have the culmination of the scene. In the midst of it, when all tho tables wore upset, their contents scattered, and nothing but hilar,'tu aiwl r-nnt'iiinn ramnaiit Mr. Douglas arrived, in honor of whom the band played ' Hail to the Chief" " Hail to the Chief.'" what a tune to play in honor of Douglas, who never smelt gun-powder beyond the circle of a political assemblage! ;-.We have heard of Old Hickory leaving the bench, when he was a Judge in Tennessee, and going into battle with the Indians in many wars, and with the British at New Orleans. AVe have heard of Col. Dick Johnson leaving his seat in Congress, raising a regiment of mounted riflemen, and going in!o battle against Tecumsch at Tippecanoe. We have, heard of Job Lane,Breckinhii)Cie, Pierce, Shields, Quitman, Hardin, MeKee, and thousands of other gallant spirits, leaving civil stations, and volunteering to fight the battles of their country in Mexico. But who has heard of the little Sucker ever doing so? '"Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!" What triumph? The triumph in Vermont, or the triumph in Maine ? These are the only battle-fields in which he has signalized himself of late. And what are the results of his engagements? " Routed, horse, foot and dragoons ! " A majority of 22,000 against him in his native State, and 18,000 against him in JIainc ! " Hail to the Chief!" What a Imrlesquo ! The Eight of Revolution. Douglas denies the right of secession, and maintains that the only remedy the South can have for any wrongs that may be perpetrated by a Northern majority is in revolution; and he holds that it is the duty of the President to use the army and navy of the Government to punish those who might, a a last resort, seek redress for intolerable wrongs in that way. He is prepared not only to acquiesce in the election of Lincoln, oven should Sumner, Seward, Wilson, Chase and Giddings comxsc his cabinet, and have control of affairs, but will support such an Administration in coercing Southern sovereign State into submission, should it be necessary, at the point of tho bayonet He would hang as high as Haman all who would prefer war, pestilence and famine to the deep disgrace of such a Government. Louisville Courier. Now. hear what Douglas' particular and bosom friend, Senator Pugh, the only Democratic Senator of tho United State who now adheres to him said in the Charleston Convention upon this subject: " I agree that no Conrt, Supreme or inferior, has any right to bind any State in the last resort I believe the Federal Government to be founded upon mutuil compact between the Stated, and as the States entered into that compact of their own sovereign will, so it belongs to each of them, as the arbiter of thenown destiny, to decide when the compact lias been broken, and the mode and measure of redress." " Greeley's Sympathy A:i Admiration. The New York Tribune seems to like Senator Douglas in his "half-way" position. It say? : "Senator Douglas is fighting a pallant battle. . We admire his courago and energy. ,iofr as hie principles and policy tend in the right direction, he has our sympathy and Te.pecC

From the Pocket. Evansniixe, September 14, 181)0. Messrs. Editors: Your paper is, without flattery, doing much good. Its pages grqct our eyes, and gladden our hearts, as the smiling countenance of a dearlyloved child rejoices the heart of a father, who, after his day of toil, returns at night to his humble dwelling, I could wish that every Democrat, not a Douglas office-seeker, could have the gratification of reading its instructive nnd honest columns. You are aware that although our State can boast of having, since 181C, (I believe that was the period when she was admitted into tho galaxy of States which formed the Union at that time,)made rapid strides in the direction of true improvement, yet, our back townships have not the facilities and advantages that we, of the towns, possess. If they had, these petty Douglas leaders would not hoodwink honest and simple-minded Democrats as they do, and have done. We might then expect that tho pen would perform all it has declared it would do. The pen is mighter than the sword; mightier for the false tongues of the deceitful men who mislead the honest Democracy into the den of the wolf. Douglas, as the "ignis fatuus," misguides the tho tired wayfarer to his destruction. This has been said, and said truly, too, to be a reading age. Thank Heaven it is. Men, having any claim to sense, and integrity, and personal indepedence, will read, reflect!

judge and determine for themselves. Those who can not, or will not, deserve our commisscration ; but we will not, because we pity them, neglect ourselves; and we will, to the extent of our abilities, extend to them, unselfishly, the use of the means which wo enjoy for their personal instruction. If they reject the boon on them rests the responsibility. We arc told to examine all things and hold fast to what is true. AVe read all that comes within our reach; and, although the search after the grain amongst so much chaff hardly repays the toil, yet in times of famine, every grain ig useful in sustaining life. Like the shipwrecked mariners cast away to the mercy of the waves, in a solitary boat, in the midst of the solitude of the ocean, and destitute of water, though the element surrounds us, we dare not drink, lest, by doing so, delirium and death ensue. AAre, in like manner, have tho political streams flowing from tho Opposition fountains presented to our parched lips, but when we stoop to drink, our thirst is aggravated, not relieved or extinguished. The fountains that gush from the honest and pure political springs of the unadulterated Bkkckinripce Democracy refreshes but does not intoxicate. Would that in the Northern deserts these pure streams were numerous! There is one fact that I would impress upon the mind of every Bueckinkidge man: The masses of the Democracy are true, and were the images, which are set before them, in the shape of Douglas et. al. for their worship, revealed to them in their native ugliness and hideousness, theg would immediately forsake them. The trappings which envelop these false gods, are day by day being stripped off, and as the process goes on, so do these deluded worshipers return to the true religion. It is quite obvious that the priests who serve at the altars erected by Douglas, are only humbugs, who seek by their labors of imposition, their own personal aggrandizement. There is either a county or State official position to be obtained, or one under the general government. Now, there is nothing so galling to the pride of a man of independent spirit, as the reflection that he has been made a tool to the advancement to position of men who are in character, intellect and previous and present conduct, his inferi. or, and altogether unworthy his countenance and support. Yet, how many men are every day deceived by this class of impostors? The deceivers and deceived abound in all of our counties, and in every State. How many office-seekers are there in our State who care no more for Douglas, than a hog does for a lunar eclipse, but who expect by the popularity wliich they have manufactured for him in the free States, to elevate themselves into positions for which nature and education have unfitted them, but for which they have an unconquerable desire ? Will Democratic voters weigh these hints? These men are leeches on the body politic. They are greedy Shylocks, who, having lent Douglas all their little capital, cry: give, givo, give; but should his venture fail, they will have the pound of fiesh nearest his false, deceitful heart. The Opposition still pour in upon "us the choicest exponents of their several creeds. On last Monday evening a Bell meeting was held. The speakers were an importation from Connecticut, named Rockville, a person once a callow U. S. Representative from the wooden nutmeg State. The other was formerly a citizen of this town, Amos Clarke, at present and for years past a resident of Texas. He happened here casually. Extremes sometimes meet. Here were a Connecticut abolitionist in the garb of a Bellite, and a Texas slaveholder agreeing in sentiment, and both doing their endeavor to induce men to vote for Bell, Mr. Rockville pitched into politics, generally, and somewhat confusedly; and all, consequently, that I could gather from hisharangue was, that Lincoln and his party are false and vacilliating, and, therefore, not to be trusted. Their platform (said he) in its j eighth section promulgates a lie. It calls for Cou-j gressioual intervention to prohibit slavery in the Ter-1 ritories, and yet last May when they had the power j to carry out their darling principle on the occasion j when Grow reported his Territorial bills, yet they vo-j ted them down, because the bill contained the exact j clause now inserted, and inserted only eight days afterwarda in their Chicago platform. This and much j more was "nuts" to us outsiders ; and we gathered j from his complaints that he was a Bell man, simply , because Lincoln and those who mainly nominated him, I are not to be trusted with the abolition question. j Clark gave us a Simon pure, unadulterated, fire-eating speech. The Black Republicans will not soon forget the old veteran Whig. Ho told us a great deal about slavery, socially, morally,and politically, which Breck. ixridge men could fully sympathize with and believe j in.but how he can so cheat his mind in to the belief that the election of Bell will heal the troubles which distract j and divide the country, no power of ratiocination whk'h I possess, could resolve me. So it is, the er- , rors of youth if not discarded in ripe manhood become j part of our nature, and the grave alone is able to cor er us and tlnru. , AA'hilo alluding to Lincoln, let me remark that I , have been thinking whether the men of ibe South are j so gelf-stultified as to believe for a moment, that, in j the event of the election of Lincoln, he and his party I will faitfifully execute the "Fugitive Slave Law." j Have not these men in some of the States, where thy are predominant, refused to do so, and have they not assisted those who resisted the marshals with aid, l counsel and comfort? f ! And as they will do this when the general executive ! government is not under their control, what reason . can be satisfactorily assigned to warrant the conclusion j tliat when it is, tbey will act otherwise than they have ' done ? AVill not Lincoln appoint alwlition marshal? '

Suppose Giddings was appointed U. S. Marshal of

Ohio, would he execute the law Or, suppose Garrison nnd Phillips, in their respective States should obtain the responsible appointment, what would-they do? It may lib said such a contingency will not occur. AVill the Linoolnitessay that the clamor of the abolitionists will be stilled without a share in the spoil which they helped to procure? Not it. Again, should Lincoln be elected, who in the Southern States will accept office under an abolition administration, when under the advice of the Black llepublicans, and instigated also by Helper's Impending Crisis, John Brown and his fellow-conspirators seized -Harper's Ferry, murdered the-Virginians,-and are now carrying on their hellish work of murder, treason and arson in Texas? AVhat will then become of the Post Offices, the Port Collectorships, Marehalships and other necessary offices of tho general government? This is a broad theme, and men who intend to vote for Lincoln, had better discuss it and weigh it, for every vote given for him, will be a breath to fan tho match already lighted by Northern abolition fanatics to 6ct the Union on fire with the consuming flames of anarchy, bloodshed and all the untold horrors of civil war. The Douglas leaders, too, would do well to givo this subject a thought. It is not too late for them to recede from their unpatriotic and reckless positionDouglas declared that he designed long ago to leave the Democratic party but that before he did so, he wished to demoralize the party, take with him the masses, cut down the bridges and sink the boats in the rear of his retreat. He has unbluslungly avowed to his' Black Republican confreres, and to Burlingamo, Colfax and Blair in particular, that he had "Lane's head in a basket' and that Slidell's, Blight's and Fitch's would soon be in his bloody receptacle; that McDougal from California, Baker from Oregon, and Old Abe as President from Illinois, together with himself, would compose the handsomest political tableaux in the city of Washington! James K. Paulding, Dickinson, and in short, all that are respectable for talent, honesty and patriotism, years ago, predicted the course Douglas would take, aud Paulding, ere the silent tomb enclosed his ashes, solemnly declared, that the bull frogs and salamanders would about this time be found swimming together in the same foul pond. Democrats these are facts, and in face of them shall we bow the neck till the filth of his treasons cover our heads, that the "Little Sucker" may step into the Presidency ? I for one will not consent. AVe have an ark of safety, fast anchored in the hearts of the good, brave and trueLet us then cling to it; for after the ides of November the Breckinridge Democracy, purified from its dross, will be the Democracy of the Union. VIATOR. From Monroe County. , Bloominoton, Sept. 18. Editors of Old Line Guard:! feel greatly encour aged and cheered at the growing prospects of our noble standard-bearers, Breckinridge and Lane, who have planted themselves upon the Constitution and the Union, and do and will contend for the equality of the States, and the. people of all the States and Territories, as guaranteed in that Constitution. Our Douglas friends here, i. e. the more reasonable and thinking part, give up Missouri, and admit that Douglas will not be able carry a single Southern State. And they further acknowledge that it is exceedingly doubtful whether he will be able to carry a single State in the Union. The fifteen Southern States, Oregon and California, may now be set down ' for Breckinridge 'and Lane. Then Pennsylvania and New Jersey added, will secure their election by the people ; or New York, without them, will do the same thing, And, judging from the current of public opinion, leading in the same direction, may we. not reasonably hope to see this prediction fully verified. Such a result would tend to restore peace and establish confidence in every section and department of this Re public. Every interest would have reason to rejoice the agricultural, mechanical, and commercial departments and all their dependents. It would also be a happy result in a political and religious point of view. It would quail this Northern sectional and local party, that has already divided some of our churthes North and South, and sowed the seeds of discord, in all, and has more than once shook this Union from center to circumference, by totally disregarding the Constitution of the United States : that bond of Union, established by our fathers for our good, and if lived up to by us, would lead to the happiest results. But tho Constitution has been made to yield to the higher law doctrine, by this higher law party. It has slandered Democratic Administrations, the purest and best, and those who supported them. It has induced men, reckless men, to go into the Territories with murder in their hearts, aud weapons in their hands, to carry out their diabolical purposes. Nor did they stop here; they have sent emissaries into the States to complete their work of insurrection and death. Go to Harper's Ferry, and see what was done, aud what would have been done, if the plot had not been frustrated. Go to Texas now, and see some of her once growing cities and thriving towns laid in ashes, by the torch of the incendiary poison and arms placed in the hands of slaves to complete the work of death, and the slaves instigated to commit other outrages too horrible to contemplate. These are some of the legitimate fruits of this higher law partv. Yet I believe there are many that vote and actfu this party that are honest, and do not see the effect and the end they are to be pitied. . AVe claim that the Democratic party, as an instrument in tho hands of Divine Providence, set up this Government- it is a plant of their own right-hand planting. And who will care for, and hazard more to protect a child than those who caused its existence, than its nearest relatives? Surely, then, we. Democrats, shall stand by and defend this noble edifice, which owes its existence to onr Revolutionary fathers and the God of battles. And we think the signs of the times indicate that the same good Being is now interposing in our behalf, and if we shall prove as faithful in this crisis as our fathers did in that, victory will perch on our banner now, as on their's then. Then, for the sake of our cause, which is based on justice and equality; for the sake of our people, native and adopted ; for tho sake of all the nations on the earth, whose eyes are turned towards us at this time as the only and last hope to establish and perpetuate free Government, and for the sake of every thing that is good and great, let union and harmony in the Democratic ranks be restored. Let the friends of Douglas, who have broken off from the true church, and become scattered, return to the Democratic fold again. I know that many of them have found that the way of the transgressor is hard. Then I say to them, comeback and battle for the right; battle for the Constitution and the Union ; for the eucwj of the true principles; and your children and your children's children will rise up and call you blessed. Come all that will, from any every stind-poiut, that I

can see, feel, or appreciate justice and equality, and help us, in this noble work; and you shall in no wie lose your reward. I remain yours, in groat haute, B. AY'. Boonville Correspondence, Mr. Editor: As it has been but a short time since I saw the first copy of your valuable paper, and at the same time your standing notice, requesting correspondence from all parts of the State seeing that there was no correspondent from AVarrick, and as the times are such that every man should use his utmost powers to a reconciliation of the Democracy, especially in Indiana ; and that reconciliation having been tried, the Douglas wing of the Democracy having "flew the track," nothing more can be expected of thein in the way of reconciling the party. It therefore behooves us, as good and sound Democrats, to stand up to the men who advocate our principles, with a firm and unflinching front in the coming contest, so that Republicans and squatter sovereigns cannot break through our ranks. AVhen we form our line of march in November next, let it be such a line that will sweep the country like a tornado, making the Opposition tremble before the blast a blast that will be remembered and pointed out as the greatest political battle that was ever won in the annals of our country. On Saturday last, we had tho pleasure of hearing the Hon. G. N. Fitch and Dr. Sherrod, both of which delivered eloquent and telling speeches. The time could not have been set upon a better day. The followers of Breckinridge and Lane assembled at this place, and at tho hour of twelve they bad as fine a hickory pole as ever stood in the precincts of old AVarrick. It stood one hundred and forty feet high, with a flag waving in the breeze, thirty-eight feet long and nine wide 1 AVhen that flag was unfurled to the eyes of the multitude, such a shout as rent the air for our candidates, told the tale of what the feeling was in old Warrick. Dr. Fitch's speech alone convinced numbers of Douglas men that their cause was hopeless, and doubly so, as they cast their eyes around the room and beheld that vast body of men, who, then, as they thought, stood on the right platform. It was the wavering of a a moment, aud then it would have done you good, or any other honest man, to have seen tliem, as one after another denounced the "Little Giant," and shouted "Hurrah for Breckinridge and Lane the only men that we can place our trust upon." No such gabbing as a petty Douglas organ in this place does, can ever turn them back, for they are men when they find they are on the right track taking the motto of au old hero of our country, " Be sure you are right, and then go ahead." And so they are, and will continue to do so. as long as one plank of the platform shall stick together. To show a sample of the absurdity of this sheet, I will give one of the many basest of lies with which it is filled : " On Saturday last, a few of our citizens from the country came to town and .assisted the Seceders in raising" a Breckinridge pole. After obtaining assistance from some Democrats and many Republicans, they succeeded. In honor of the noble administration of the present incumbent, James Buchanan, they attached a pair of buck-horns to its summit." Booneville Democrat, 1 '2th. Now it is well known to every man in town, that that is one of the most willful lies that was ever uttered ;' every man in Booneville on last Saturday, knows that there was not one Douglas man laid a finger upon that pole to help raise it; and as for Republicans, there were but two, and one of those was hired; the other worked without an invitation, This is one of the many lies that was in this paper last week. Such slurs a? that upon the Democracy of Old AA'arrick, cannot be tolerated, even for one moment, in any honest man's heart, for it is a certain fact, and well known, that when we come to the polls in November next, and when the votes are counted out, there will be at least four-fifths of them for the only true, honest, and sound-hearted men running before the American people, Breckinridge and Lane. A DEMOCRAT.

From Posey County, ; New Harmony, Sept. 1 7, 18b"0. "'r Messrs. Editors: I am satisfied that Breckinridge and Lane would bo stronger in this county than Douglas and Johnson, were it not for the course pur sued by such Latter Day Saints as Cash. Clay and Henry Ellsworth, who have been gassing through this county and venting their spleen on Douglas. A large portion of the Democracy think, therefore, that Doug' las must be the strongest and most dreaded by the Black Republicans. There is scarcely a day passes in mv intercourse with the Democracy 4 but I hear them gay "Well, I believe Breckinridge and Laneoccu pv the right position, but in order lo defeat the Woollys wo must vote for Douglas." And they then re fer to the remarks of Clay and Ellsworth. Such men add more to the strength of the little Dodger in one speech than any Douglas man could in twenty. The fact is, there are no Democrats in tins county who advocate the course of Douglas on any other score, except a little clique about Mt. Vernon. If the afore said speakers had abused Breckinridge as they have Douglas, there would be no division among us all would be for Breckinridge and Lane. But our speakers, and the Black Republicans, all pitching into the little Sucker with such seventy, while he is on a pilgrimage seeking the fond embraces of his affectionate mamma, with tears in his eyes, creates a great sympathy for him. Yours truly. UNION. From Henry County. Lewisville, Sept 18, I860. Messrs. Editors : I have just time to address to you a few lines at present, and after my best respects, I will say I think your Guard is doing wonders. 1 am sorry it was not put in circulation sooner, but it is doing its good work, and thofe who peruse its columns are disseminating among the people the true Democratic doctrines. Around this vicinity (Lewisville,) we are about half-and-half, and I think the people in Washington township, in Rush, are two for Breckinridge to one for Douglas. From what I can learn from speakers and others, I think we will roll up 45,000 or 50.000 in November for Breckinridge and Lane. Thanks be fo God, all those who vote for these true Democrats and sound statesmen, in my opinion, will vote to sustain the true Democratic doctrines of the Constitution. Now let me repeat what 1 have said from the commencement of the campaign that the little Sucker will not get a State in the Union, North or South. He and his friends have sought alliance with the Know-Nothings, and if the candidates on the State ticket do so, they may slip into office in October. If so, you will hear of the worst fights at the Novemlier election In the Know-Nothing precinct ever recorded in our political annals. It makes tle blood boil in my veins when I think of sueh a shameful coalition to destroy the old Democratic party, and divest onu lvJf of the State" of the Union of their rights. . J. C. R.

From Delaware County. Delaware County, Sept. 18, 1800. Messrs. Editors : Delaware county is at work, and with the help of your valuable paper (the Old Line Guard,) many have renounced the little Squatter and support those true, tried and patriotic Democrats, John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane. All tho excuse the Douglas men have for not voting for Breckinridge here is, they say that he is a bolter, and on that account cannot support him. But it is just the opposite ; it is Douglas that is the bolter. AVhen we elected Bright and Fitch to the United States Senate from this State, Stephen Arnold Doug-

taking their seats. Is not that bolting Democratic usages ? And he has opposed every single Administration measure since Buchanan was elected. Mr. Douglas has done more for the Republican party in the last four years than Seward, Greeley, Bates, and all the Republican leaders together. Although this is tho hot-bed of Republicanism and Douglasism, still there is a considerable number of the old stand-bys, who will contend for justice, the equality of the States, and the protection of person and property. Yours truly, JAMES H. ORR. Marion County, Ind., Sept. 15, 1860. Pursuant to previous notice, the Democracy of Franklin township met in Convention for the purpose of expressing their views and considering tho propriety of forming a joint State electoral ticket; and we, as citizens and Democrats, do request that our Central Committees (Douglas and Breckinridge) may hastily and unhesitatingly form a joint electoral ticket, which would doubtless secure harmony and success to the Democracy of Indiana, against nil op- . position.

The back numbers of the Old Line Guard having become exhausted, and in order to place it within the reach of every National Democrat, and extend its usefulness, wo have determined to reduce, the price, and furnish it, until the election, THREE TIMES A WEEK, FOR FIFTY CENTS ! We have the most satisfactory evidence that. The Guard has done good work, and with the addition of Mr. Cui.lky to the Editorial Department, no labor will be spared to make it effective in establishing those principles of justice and equality which should ever regulate the interests and intercourse of the people of all the States, and which must ultimately become the creed and rallying watchwords of the Democratic party; and in advancing the cause .of Breckixhidgk and Lane, those patriots and Statesmen who have proved on distant battle-fields their devotion to their country, while others, who are now seeking the suffrages of the people, remained at home, playing the carpet-knight and plotting for the gratification of an unholy ambition. Let our friends now go to work, and see that the Guard is circulated in every countythat it is in the hands of every good National Democrat. Let the principles of the cause we advocate be known no better agent can be used for this purpose than the Guard. We ask each one of our present subscribers, and all our speakers, to announce it everywhere, that the Guard will be furnished, three times a week, until after the election, for 50 cents. Eleven copies for $5.00. Start your subscriptions, and send them in at once, with the money. Address, Ei,di:k er IIarkness, Indianapolis. . ELEOTIOlTTiCKETS.
