to settle the question in its constitution. These," ho adds, "are my doctrines and those of our platform and, what is more, they are tho doctrines of the Constitution." .. Another Roorback, The Kentucky papers say that John C. 'Breckinridge lias been making speeches on the sly among the mountains of Kentucky. John C. always was afraid ot a short-hand writer. Cin. Commercial. We find the above misrepresentation (from the Republican organ of Cincinnati) in the State Sentinel of Tuesday. Cannot the Sentinel find a sufficient number of falsehoods against Breckinridge in Douglas' Indianapolis speech, and in the Enquirer and other Doudas journals, withoutborrowing from the columns of the Kepublican papers? The Louisville Courier replies to gimilariw in the Enquirer as follows: "A few days ago the Cincinnati Enquirer stated, that at a certain time named, Mr. Breckinridge was to speak at Owingsville, and that on a subsequent day lie would deliver a political speech at West Liberty. Knowing that Mr. Breckinridge was at home in Lexington on the day the L'njmVer said he was at OwingsviOe, we unhesitatingly pronounced the whole statement false, as we were justified in so doing. "But a report having reached this city, that Mr. Breckinridge and others had gone to West Liberty, the joint organs here, probably getting their information, if it was information, from the same sourco, not

only proclaimed that he had gone there for the purpose of discussing political questions, but all the particulars given of his visit, and of his speeches in Mor gan and Xiiitu. "As we expected, the Enquirer's original statement was false, as we pronounced it ; and the subsequent statements and comments of the Journal and Demo crat are unwarranted bv anything that occured. Mr. Breckinridge, we are reliably informed, did not, at West Liberty, at Owingsville, or at any other point on the road make any political speech, discuss any political question, or do anything more than to accept the congratulations ot Ins triencls ami return thanks for their flattering demonstrations in a few such general remarks as did not conflict with what we believe to be his inflexible determination to make no other political speech during the present canvass. Douglas' Physical Condition. : From the following paragraph, which is copied from the Cleveland Herald, it would seem that the little Sucker's condition when there was about the same as it appeared in Indianapolis. The truth is, if he doc s not hold up, there will be no more left of him, physically, after the election, than politically. If he could possibly be elected President, the Northwest might gain a barren sceptre. The honors of the station might fall upon an unlineal heir upon the Georgia fire-eater and disunionist, who was nominated by a convention of two in a Washington saloon : " We had heard him when his voice rang out clear and commanding, but his enunciation on the stand on Saturday last was a two hours' spasmodic bark, laborious to himself, and painful to those who in vain attempted to catch his words. No term expresses the sound of his voice as well as the word bark, and the great monotony of those barks to those only a few feet from him,' was too painful to be borne. Hence, excepting a few hundred, close up under the stand's front, his audience were constantly changing, for after the curiosity of a sight at Mr. Douglas was gratified, there was nothing more to stay for, as four words out of five, to those twenty feet removed from him, were inaudible. We trust "Mr. Douglas will not attribute the restlessness of his auditory to lack of good manners; but to the true cause, an utter inability to catch his words. By his side was a plate of lemons, and every sentence or two he would convulsively clutch and squeeze one, swallowing the juice, so as tokeep open a feeble passage from his lungs. The Presidency, even if it were insured to him in November, is no compensation for the physical wear and tear he is suffering." The Future Sovereign of England. The Prince of Wales took his departure from Cincinnati on Monday morning at nine o'clock. His modest and unassuming deportment, during his brief visit here ; his pleasant, honest-looking English face, and his genial, unsophisticated manners, have made a most favorable impression on our people, many of whom had assembled at the hotel, at the early hour of his departure, to see him off. Cincinnati Enquirer. ' '; We suppose the editor of the Enquirer was among the crowd to see this great grand-son of George the Third off, if indeed he was not among the first to welcome his arrival. From the warm terms of eulogy in which he speaks of the future Sovereign of Eng land, (perhaps they are well-merited,) one might imagine, in these coalition days, that the Enquirer man was engaged in trying to bring about a fusion between the royal Sovereign and the squatter Sovereign. Stranger things than this have happened. This young scion of royalty, however, does not seem to be as great an aristocrat as either the squatter sovereign chief, or his heir apparent, the master of the Georgia principality. While the future Sovereign of England was riding upon the soil of uncle Sam in the vicinity of Niagara Falls, in a carriage drawn by four horses, our would-be King Stephen made liis grand entree at Clifton, New York, (where his good old mother resides,) in a carriage drawn by six horses.

Enthusiastic Meeting at New Oklean. On the evening of the 26th tilt., (last Wednesday,) there was a magnificent display made by the Breckinridge and Lane Clubs in New Orleans. It is thus mentioned in the Courier of the following day : The Breckinridge and Lane mass meeting held last evening in Washington Square, Third District, was an occasion well calculated to display the strength which our standard-bearers really possess, and the over-ruling influence which they wield over the intelligent masses of the American people. It is not our purpose to indulge in these remarks in the stereotyped commonplaces of the Opposition press. We shall uot say that the meeting of last night was the largest, and the procession the most imposing demonstration ever witnessed in New Orleans, but we do assert, and we appeal to every disinterested spectator to support our affirmation, that it was a gathering which, in its numbers, character and intelligence, gave promise of the hope that this city can be easily carried for Breckinridge and Lane, if proper eflbrts for this purpose are made. The merchant and the mechanic, the professional man and the laborer, the bone and sinew of the country, were harmoniously blended together and marched side by side in serried ranks through the long and wearisome tramp. One of the most pleasingand noticeable features of this demonstration was the large and preponderating element of the young men. KENTUCKY, The Paducah Herald, whose editor has been pretty much through the district, assures us that Breckinridge and Lane will beat Bell in the First District thirty-Jive hundred votes. Virginia. Norfolk, September 27, 1860. Governor Wise spoke here to-night more than four hours, to about three thousand people. He argued that the politics of the whole country had been narrowed down to a single dangerous issue. First, by the joint policy of Douglas and some of his present opponents in 1854. Second, by the Lecompton policy of the President in 1858. Third, by the attempt, persevered in, until the very assemblage of the Charleston Convention, by a faction at the South, and especially in Virginia, to ignore the question of protection. He denounced squatter sovereignty as a short cut to all the ends of Black Republicanism ; and designated Douglas' threat of coercion as involving federalism and torvism, and regarded Douglas' explanation at Jones' Wood and Baltimore, as worse, in this respect, than the Norfolk speech itself. He exposed the untruth of Douglas' pretence of having repealed the principle of the Missouri Compromise by the Kansas act, which repealed the restriction of 36 30 only in the Louisiana territory, and left it in full force under the acts of 1845 and 1850 in other Territories. He showed that the Kansas act itself utterly denies Mr. Douglas' theory of Territorial sovereignty, and also the insincerity of Douglas' ad captandum decision of a slave code, when Mr. Douglas has drawn up and voted through more slave codes, like those in the acts organizing New Mexico and Kansas, than any other American statesman, living or dead. ' NEW JERSEY. It is rumored, says the Newark Journal, that some of the straight Douglas men are now desirous of rearranging the Electoral ticket. We are glad to see any evidence of returning reason on the part of the independent gentlemen, and have no doubt that the De" mocracy will willingly hear what proposal their State Comitiittee have to make upon the subject. But we respectfully suggest the Union ticket as the proper means of concentrating the conservative forces of the State. The ticket is good enough as it is. . ; VIRGINIA.. The Richmond Enquirer says: Hitherto the canvass in Virginia has been retarded by division and discord in the ranks of the Democracy ; but, from facts bof'ore us, W'e hope soon to see all division disappear, all discord hushed, harmony restored, and brethren of the Democracy dwelling together in peace. Discreet and prudent men in the ranks of Douglas' friends are undertaking the good work of harmony, and from them we look for a glorious union. The accomplishment of this union ill be a "good day's work" for the men who may effect it. And why should not the Douglas ticket be withdrawn ? Is it principle that prevents its withdrawal ? Certainly not. The avowals of the Norfolk speech have dwarfed into insignificance all questions of slavery in the Territories. GEORGIA. Our friends abroad are assured that Georgia is all right. Breck and Bucna Vista Joe will carry Georgia over both Bell and Douglas by five, or, it may be, ten thousand majority. So says the Federal Union of the 25th ult. First Gun for Breckinridge and Lane! The following intelligence from Macon, from the Savannah News, gives us the 'key note' of the result iu Georgia. It will be remembered that that city has been, for long years, under the rule of Whiggery and Know Nothingism. If Opposition strongholds give out such music, what melody will ring from the old Democratic districts? Macon, Sept. 22. Eds. Times: At the election for Mayor, held in this city this day, the Democracy achieved a glorious triumph. Dr. JU. Ihompson, the Breckinridge candidate, was elected over Dr. Harrison, the Bell candidate, by a majority of twenty-eight. This is a large Demo3ratic gain, and was made against an attempted fusion of the Bell and Douglas parties, and against the strenuous eflbrts of the Opposition city authorities, police and patronage. Many of the Douglas men spurned "fusion" and rallied under the old Democratic banner. CONNECTICUT. From the tone of the Douglas organ?, it is evident that the proposal to unite the conservative vote of the State against Lincoln though conceding that Mr. Douglas should have the benefit of it, will be rejected! If so, the blame will rest where it ought, on the shoulders of Mr. Douglas' supporters. TENNESSEE. A correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce writing from Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22, says that the prospect of Breck and Lank are good for earning this S;atc, independently of the withdrawal of the Douglas ticket ; and that being withdrawn, the only doubt remaining is as to the extent of the Domocratie majority. The Nashville I'nioa and American has the follow, ing : We publish this morning a proposition from Mr. Jas. Britton, Jr.. Doucrlas Elector for the First District, and Mr. Malone, Douglas Elector for the Second District It is addressed to the Breckinridge and remain- j ing Douglass Electors in the State, It proposes the withdrawal of the Douglas ticket, and a union of the Breckinridge and Dougla men on the remaining De

mocratic ticket, provided, the Electors on that ticket will agree to cast the vote of the State, if they are elected, for Breckinridge, if that will secure his election. If it will not secure his election, but secure that that of Mr. Douglas, then to be cast for him. If it will elect neither, and the election has to go the House, then to be cast so as to get both Breckinridge and Douglas, if possible, into the House, to the exclusion of Mr. Bell; it being certain that Lincoln will bo one of the contestants there. We have no hesitancy in saying that the proposition is one which, in our opinion, ought to be accepted by every Breckinridge and Douglas man in the Slate. Wo do not understand the Douglas men as yielding any of their pref

erences for Air. Douglas and his doctrines, and we cer tainly do uot wish to txs understood as auaimg any oi our antagonism of sentiment to Mr. Douglas and his views. ALABAMA. TriE Cry is, Stit.l They Com h.C. II. Perkins of Tuscaloosa, publishes a lengthy letter in the Tuscaloosa Observer, giving his reasons for supporting Breckinridge and Lane. Mr. P. writes ably and like a truo patriot. The name of Perkins is well remembered in Alabama, as being connected with the Whig party of former days, and, if we mistake not, the father of the above named gentlemen served in our Legislature, and was one of the most able of the opponents of the Democratic party in that body during his day. Robert P. Blount, Esq., of Sumter county, formerly an uncompromising Whig, is now for Breckinridge and Lane. He writes to a friend in Tuscaloosa that Sumter (the home of the secessionist Douglasile John A. Winston) will give at least two hundred majority for our ticket. So it goes so rolls the ball and bv the 6th of No vember Alabama will be almost a unit in support of the Constitution and the equality ot the btates ot Breckinridge and Lane. Hunt Advertiser. PENNSYLVANIA. One of the most marked and significant evidences of the reaction against Douglas is to be found in the course of the Cliauibersburg Valley Spirit, the old organ of the Democracy in Franklin county. Thit paper started out in this campaign the earnest advocate of Mr. Douglas, but finding that it could not support him in his way and the Democratic party at the same time, it has determined to retrace its steps. The last number cames to us with the names of Breckinridge and Lane floating at its mast head, and a powerful article justifying this course. Uarrmuurg (Pa.) Patriot. FLORIDA. A friend writes us that " there was held, on Monday, at Baldwin, Florida, a large Breckinridge and Lane meeting, at which some three thousand persons were present. General Milton, Hon. S. K. Mallory George AV. Call, Esq., and other distinguished men of the State, participated in the meeting." All accounts agree that Florida will go for Breckinridge and Lane by a very targe majority. havannan lcws. ' The State Ticket. We notice in the State Sentinel of Monday, a long article, commenting; upon some remarks made by the Pioneer, and some other Breckinridge paper, with re ference to the State ticket, and charging that our aim and object, and the intention of the Breckinridge men of Indiana generally, is to defeat the State ticket, and that, if it is defeated, it will be owing, entirely, to the treachery of the friends of Breckinridge and Lane. In the article to which the Sentinel alludes, and to which it takes exceptions, after stating that, at the late session of the National Democratic State Central Committee, " overtures were again made to the leaders of the Douglas faction for a union of the two wings of the party upon a joint electoral ticket, but they were refused," we used the following language: - " Of course, whatever may be the result of either the State or Presidential contests in Indiana, the responsibility ot that result must rest upon the followers of Stephen A. Douglas. The friends of Breckinridge and Lane have made every effort for compromise have offered every proposition that was fair and honorable to unite the party against the common enemy but their advances have been rejected with scorn and disdain." : And it is this language, the Sentinel intimates, af fords an indication that we intend to aid in beating the State ticket! Because we say the Douglas taction has diminished its chanc s for success, by refusing to compromise upon a common electoral ticket, the "organ" of that faction charges us with aiming at its defeat declares "if the State ticket is defeated it is by the treachery of the Breckinridge leaders," and says it has " every reason to believe they are in collusion with the Republican leaders, to beat it, if possible." Now, for our own part, we have labored steadily and earnestly for every compromise that could possibly give peace and harmony to our ranks. When the party was rent asunder, at Baltimore, by the friends of Stephen A. Douglas, and the Democracy divided in every State, wo entreated that some compromise might be effected by which the vote of Indiana might be united against the common enemy. When it was found that this could not be done- when the friends of Douglas had turned a deaf ear to the proposition for the accomplishment of that object we implored the Democracy to stand firmly by the State ticket, and not to suffer the division upon national questions to make any difference with reference to the local affairs of Indiana. And how have our advances been met ? Just as every other proposition for conciliation and compromise have been met. We are coolly told that if we will work for the election of the Douglas State ticket, and our efforts are successful, it will be all right.. That if we will just help to place the Douglas party in power, to distribute our patronage among Douglas pets and favorites, and, above all, that it may be proclaimed throughout the Union that Douqlus has carried Indiana, we will simply be doing "our duty." But, at the same time that we are doing this, the Douglas " organ " declares that it " has every reason to believe " that we are " in collusion with the Republican leaders," and that, if the State ticket is defeated, it will be attributed entirely to our " treachery I " As we said before, we have labored earnestly for the election of the Slate ticket and, in return, we are charged by the Douglas State "organ" (which, we presume, correctly reflects the sentiments of the Douglas faction in the State) with being " in collusion with the Republican leaders " to defeat it. Our labors are now at an end. We shall leave it to stand upon its own bottom. We are satisfied that the present leaders of the Douglas party of Indiana have but one object in view, anil that is the complete and total desti-uction of the Democratic party, and that they are iust as ready to reject every effort at compromise on the State ticket as they were upon an electoral j ticket. It is, with them, a complete submission, on bended knee, to Stephen A. Douglas, or nothing. To the Breckinridge men of Boone county we have j no advice to give in relation to the matter. Ihev know their own feelings and interests best, and will, we presume, be governed by them. If they wish to aid in securing a "Douglas triumph" in Indiana, that is their own look out. We shall neither advise anv man to vote for the State ticket, or to cross it off, but suggest to every one to act as his own judgment! may indicate most advisable. We shall confine our ! efforts, in future, to the election of our Congressional : and county tickets, and leave the balance to take care j ot itself. Boone County 1'ioneer. The South will Vote as a Unit for Breckinridge and Lane. Every day but serves to confinn the confident expectation that the Southern States will, in November, rally around the great principles of constitutional lib-j erty and State equality, embodied in the Democratic j platform. The ittut i rapidly clearing away, and as these great truths stand out boldly to the public niind, i the indications multiply that the electoral vote of the j South will be cast without division for Breckinridge j and Lane. The current of passion and prejudice j which swept over this State in August last, has been i effectually stemmed and turned ; the mad cry of dis-i union has lost its power of excitement, and falls nnw upon unheeding cars : the people have been brought j to think, and the result is a marked and unmistakable i change for our candidates and platform. ! Among the most notab'.e features of the canvass is: the speech made by Governor Claiborne F. Jackson, of Missouri, the man whne election excited so ninch'

carnpanalogian noise, and such wild excitement among the Squatters. Governor Jackson has always been a Breckinridge man, and is now. Read his speech. From Virginia our intelligence from privato and reliable sources is of the most encouraging and satisfactory character. The majority for Breckinridge and Lane in the Old Dominion is placed at not less than 10,000. i Our news from Tennessee puts the vole of that State beyond apprehension of defeat. There is in Tennessee only a question of majority. Our friends claim 6,000 over Bell and Douglas combined. We Eut the majority at 3,000 to 6,000 counting the (ouglas votes for Bell. And now shall Kentucky fail to stand by her gallant son ? Above all, shall she prove recreant to the principles of the Constitution'!1 Lexington Statesman. From Monroe County.

Bloomixgton, Inp., Oct. 1. Editors of Old Line Guard: We are very anxious that the Hon. Jesse D. Bright, or some other good speaker, that believes in the Equality of the States and the People, would send an appointment to this place, not many days hence, and then come and fill it. There is now a class of politicians going the rounds, hanging to the coat-tails of Douglas, for the hope of office. Four years ago, or nearly, these men made a rush for AVashington City, and fondled on old Buck in the same way. They, however, failed in their object, as they will again, but from another cause. They then came home disgusted with the Administration, and have been abusingour venerable Chief Magistrate ever since, as also their leader, Douglas. We had a man here a few days since, of this class, of the name of John C. Walker. Do you know if he is the same John C. Walker that was at the Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis, on the 8th of January, 1858 that was called to the Chair in the evening, when the Convention adjourned for supper who cut such a spludge, heading a bolting faction ? Then again, on the 23d of February, same year, he and others called another State Convention, to make another State ticket, a boltiny ticket. But they found it was no go, and they sneaked home, and now they swear that they were not there, and if there took no part, only happened there on business. I ask you now if this is the same Walker, for the reason that he now claims to be a consistent Democrat, never bolted, always worked inside of the Democratic organization. The people here, from what I learn, did not believe much of what he said. He said that Breckinridge was a bolter, and all his supporters; that he would not get 3000 votes in the State ; that he voted for Taylor in 1848, and all such stuff. I heard S. II. Buskirk making a speech in Cincinnati a few days since, in which he abused the Democratic party in measured terms. I heard Parris C. Dunning say in a speech at this place that if he had a thousand votes, he would give them all toLincoln, before he would give one to Breckinridge ; yes, he would see him (Breckinridge) in hell, before he would vote for him; yes, he would see his soul in hell. He then turned on Buchanan, and said that his administration was the most damnable and corrupt administration that ever did exist. This brought down loud and long cheers from Republicans. Now these are the kind of men that are going about making speeches for, and say they are going to elect Douglas. I will ask, is it any wonder that Douglas is daily running down ? Why, these men have been standing around for over three years with their hands in their pockets, doing nothing for the Democratic party, but abusing it, and in many cases bolting the nominations, and in other cases voting for the Opposition And now they talk ot Bolters, and Disunionists, and Fire-eaters, &e., &c. These named, are only samples of a large majority of the speakers of this squatter sovereignty party. Is it possible that the honest masses can be longer deceived by such men, or even by Douglas, their leader? I say to you Democrat", that are good and true, rouse up and shake off your lethargy ; act. no longer with such men, such reckless men, that are ready to sell out for a small consideration. Then I admonish you, my Democratic brethren, to come up to the work. We have a Government that is worthy of perpetuation. Our cause is Justice and Equality. Breckinridge and Lane are tried men, good and true men, Union men, and worthy the support of the American people, and I have faith that they will be elected to the office to which they aspire over all opposition. The! election is close at hand; then let us work like men, until the last ballot goes into the box.. i Rocky Mountain, j From Orange County, Orleans, Oct. 1, 1860. Messrs. Editors : The camp fires of the Old Guard are lighted up in old Orange. Sherrod, Huffstutter, Elrod and Spieely arc in the field striking boldly and earnestly for the Constitutional Dcmoc-j racy. ' j Thev have already started the canvass and will ! push the fight vigorously against this political mounte-j bank, who hawks his principles from one railroad sta-j tion to another, through the country. AVc have speaking to-day in Northwest township, where there are as noble a band of Democrats as ever voted the ticket, and to-morrow Sherrod will demolish what little there is left of Douglasisni in Orleans. "Little Dug," after. telegraphing to all the one horse stations along our road, that he would pass this way ! on last night, did actually come through on the night train, and our Douglas friends at this place after hard dramming, and at the enormous expense of 15 cents! for candles, made out to get 7 Douglas, 8 Lincoln and ! 3 Breckinridge men, and about 20 small boys to receive the "Little Giant." But alas! Iris friends were J disappointed. "Dug" was too "tired" to come out, and hisjfriends are chop-fallen on account of his predisposition of getting tired. ' No more at present, M. S. Y.' j From Cass County. AValton, Oct. 1. 1860. Perhaps it would be of some interest to hear from ' Cass County, the homo of our gallant statesman, Sen- j ator Fitch. The Douglas men are getting rather sha- j ky in the knees; they have been trying to rally ever j since the "Rump Convention," but they have failed j thus far. They expect the "Little Squatter" at Logans-j port to-morrow, and on AVednesday they anticipate ' meeting the Saloon candidate for the A'ice Fresiden-i cy. But Hon. II. S. Fiteh skinned them a few weeks since. Last Saturday morning, after the return of! of the Douglasites from IndiannpolLv one of the Douglas speakers from Logansport, Mr. J. R. Flynn. stepped off at this place, and to show -that they are selling tliemselves to the Republicans, he raised an ash pole with the Douglas colors flying at the mast-. head. Another one of the Douglas speakers, Dr. J. ! A. Adrain, declares that he has lost the ue of his ' lungs by to much speaking, and nnless he can get a! pair of brass lungs to prosecute the canvass, Douglas ) is gone up in Indiana, sure.

New States admitted since 1856. f By Legislature. Hon. James A. Scott. This gentleman, the National Democratic candidate for Congress in the. Seventh District, is, we understand, making a splendid canvass, and creating a favorable impression wherever lie goes. 1 le is an able and eloquent speaker, thoroughly " posted" on all the issues of the day, and is, above all, a sound national man, ready and willing to do equal and exact justice to the people of all the States of the Union. There is probably no District in Indiana that has suffered more from the hands of the friends of Stephen A. Douglas than the Seventh none where the Democratic party has been more completely riddled and " gutted," merely to gratify the insane passions of the worshipers at the shrine of Squatter Sovereignty. Two years ago they bolted the regular Congressional nomination, fairly and honorably made, and united with the Black Republicans to defeat it. They would listen to no terms of compromise they turned a deaf ear to every entreaty and, throughout the length and breadth of the district, declared they would prefer the election of a Black Republican to that of a Democrat who would not bow the knee to Stephen A. Douglas. The Douglas faction of the Seventh District have now placed in nomination for Congress a renegade from the ranks of the National Democracy a man who, for the past three years, has received his daily bread from the hands of the Administration and who now turns round to bite the hand that fed him; a man, too, who, there is every reason to believe, transferred himself to Douglasisni in consideration of this very I.....: A noli nnn WnttrM.nl HUUIimUIUii.

Are the National men of the Seventh District ready to lend inemseives 10 sucn a purpose ; ji.ro mu men who have unflinchingly fought Douglasisni for the past three years, ready now to lend a helping hand in elevating to power a traitor from their own ranks ? Are they willing to place in the hands of the followers of Stephen A. Douglas a weapon wherewith to break their own heads V AVe cannot think so. Let the National Democrats of the Seventh District remember that this same Douglas faction, which is now courting their votes, will be the first to make use of those votes against them after the election. Let them remember that the vote given for the Douglas candidate for Congress will be heralded to the world as the vote of Stephen A. Douglas in that District; and that the vote cast for James A. Scott will be pointed to as the strength of John C. Breckinridge. Again wo say, we sincerely hope that no friend to the cause of Breckinridge and Lane in the Seventh District will, in any way, contribute to the support of Stephen A. Douglas. They have their own candidate a national man, standing upon a national platform and we trust they will gland fairly and squarely to him; vote their principles, and know what their strength is in the District. Boone County Pioneer. Douglas Black Republicanism, The Douglas idea of meeting the Black Republicans half way, and so taking some of the wind out of their sails, is not only an unprincipled transaction in itself, but will fail of its object, as it has already done wherever the test is applied. For example : In Maine, the Douglasites nominated a semi-Abolitionist for Governor. The result was, that ho was defeated by a majority of 18,000 or 20,000 votes ; a larger majority than had been given against the Democratic candidates since the Presidential election of 1856. If Republicanism is right, by all means let it be sustained by every patriotic citizen. But if it is wrong, and endangers tho dearest interests of the country, then let it be opposed, tooth and nail. Let no terms be made with i .A :. rri.:a Ua w.. m.,.11, UUU UU CUIIUCDPlUtin IU III JLIJID 13 ntt. IV v.l.come it A victory which consists in a virtual surrender, is no victory at all. And even that cannot be achieved by a miserable, temporising policy. AVhat does an Abolition Republican care whether he excludes slavery from a Territory by an Act of Congress agreeably to his own theory, or by an Act of the Territorial legislature, created by Congress, according to the Donglas theory? Not a straw. But he cares something for his pride of name and party, and so will stick to Republicanism, and leave Douglasism to its fate. Or if some Republicans go over, believing that Douglasism is a more decent way of circumventing the Constitution and the equal rights of the tlaveholding States, the gain will be far more than equalled by the loss of conservative men, who turn away in disgust from such an abandonment of principle for supposed party advantage. The Breceinridge party of to-day stands exactly where the Democratic party stood in 1856, and where it continued to stand until the mongrel Republicanism
