Eemember, Democrats, In August, 1858, the following despatch was sent from Washington to the N. Y. Tribune, by Horace Greelev, and the correctness of w hich has never been denied by Douglas: "The Republican Sena'ors held a consultation last night with Senator Douglas, in his huu.it, which was salisfuc!o"y to both parties." Mr. Greely published a letter during that session of Congress, in which he admitted that lie 1 ad had two inteniews on political topics with Douglas, m the house of the latin: These allegations have never been denied by Douglas, lie has kept as mum about what was done, in his house on tho-e occasions as if he had reached the third degree hi a Bell Know Nothing Lodge. Did the Republican Senators then assist him to grind his as, in order that lie might cut doirn the. bridges w hich connected him with the Democratic party, af.er he i ot the crowd over on their side ? Or did they decide that the price, which he asked for the work, was greater than it was worth, or that it would be impolitic to pay him in advance be lb re he did the work ? What Docci.as ii for the Replhi.k an ix Maine. It has bec-n ascertained by the official figures that in the fifteen towns in Maine in which Doug-la-' addressed the people, the net Republican gain was 1 558 votes. Douglas has done as much, if not moif, for the Republicans of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He has induced hundreds in Indianapolis, and other towns throughout the Stat-, to come out and vote tor the Republican ticket, who never cast a ballot before. We shall be able to give the precise figures when the official canvass is received. Tlio True Distinction. One point in the live iisne between Mr. Douglas and the Constitutional Democracy was strikingly pre-feenti-d the other day by Hon. Wm. W. Eaton, in a speech in Connecticut: Mr. Douglas claims that his doctrine of Popular Sovereignty is the basis and foundation wall of t lie Gov, rnmei.t of the Lnittd Slates. ' ilr. EiMii said tltat this claim was utterly fallacious a gross error: that Popular Sovereignty did not undeilieour General Government; that it was the ba.sis of our Siate (iovernmenLs: but that State liights, the "Sovereignty" and the ejna!ity ot ttie !at-j. was the foundation oif onr General (iotemuwnt. On this ! point he wu ready to meet any . .taker on the Doug ticket.

Who Defeated the Democratic Ticket? There is no doubt but that the Breckinridge men generally in Indiana voted for the Republican Slate ticket, I'lie returns prove this. There are large Republican gains in ail the counties where there is a Breckinridge vote. And the Breckinridge men admit that they did not vote at all, or else swallowed Seward, Lincoln, Giddings & Co. A dispatch from Grecncasile to the Cincinnati Gazette tells the storv. It savs,

I " Breckinridge leaders and candidates voted for Lane ! here to-day." They voted (or the very men ami piin- ! ciples whose success they have heretofore declared would be dangerous to the peace of the country and j stability of the Government. We find Bright, Fitch, and company, who have denounced with the utmost bitterness the Republican party, and whom the lleI publicans have in return unsparingly abused as dishonest dcinagogues,shake hands with each other; and I unite together in a common ellort to defeat the Dem1 oeratie Slate ticket candidates whom they supported ! in Convention, and to whom they were in honor and ; by word pledged to vote for at the polls. State Sentinel. "Who defeated the Democratic ticket?" Whv, the same man who caused the overwhelming majorities given against the Democratic State tickets in Vermont and Maine. " Who defeated the ticket?" Why, the man who deserted the Democratic memj bers of the Senate two years ago, and threw himself into the aims of Greeley, Colfax, Blair, Burlinj game and other Republicans; the man who declared ; that he had " checked his baggage and t:iken a through ticket" for the Republican camp; the man who said he intended to "cut down the bridges" which connected him with the Democratic party, as soon as he got the crowd over on the Republican side. "H'Ao defeated the ticket V ". Why, the man who boasted he had got " Joe Lane's head in a basket," and intended to give his seat in the Senate to E. I). Baker, a notorious Republican of Oregon, and whom his friends in that Slate have actually nominated for Senator, in concert with the Republicans; the man who promised j to give Blair, another notorious Republican, the seat of James S. Green in the Senate, if Blair would use ; his intluence with Trumbull, the Republican Sena'or i from Illinois, to permit liim (Douglas) to be. returned to the Senate. " Who defeated the ticket ? " Why, : the man who, for upwards of two years pat, has been i secretly intriguinir with the leaders and managers of j the Republican party, to oust not only Bright and ! Fitch from their seats in that body, but also other distinguished Democratic' Senators fioni other States: the man who has openly voted and acted, during all that time, with the Republicans in the Senaie, and arrayed himself against the entire body 'of the Democratic mombei-s of Congress. "l7o defeated the ticket?" Why, the 'man who basely deserted the t Democratic Administration for the purpose of cur- - rving favor with the Republicans of his State, in Ol der that he might hold on to his seat in the Senate ; until he had time to carry out his design for the destruction of the Democratic party. " Who defeated , the ticket?" Why, the man who fraudulently and impudently holds himself up as the regular Democratic candidate, tor President, when he can show no official evidence from 'the officers of any Convention, that he was ever nominated for that position ; the man who associated on the same ticket, with himself for Vice President, without the nomination of any Convention, ' a notorious ilisunionisl, who has done nothing else, dii- ! ring his whole political lite, than cause heart-burnings : and dissensions in his own State against the North, i and fan the embers of sectional discord. " Who dei feated the ticket?" Why, the man w ho, in company : with his disunion associate, perambulated the Northern and Western States advocated squatter sovereignty ! abused without measure the true Democratic candi- ; dates tbr President and Vice President and dei nounecd their friends everywhere, as " bol.ers," " secessionists," and '" disunionists." . This is the man (Stephen A. DouAv) " who defettled the iMinocrtttic ticket,'' not only in Indiana, but . aLo in Pennsylvania and Ohio t! e very man who materially assisted in doing the same sort of work in : Vermont and Maine. It is this traitor to Democratic 1 principles and Democratic policy, who should be j blamed for the. discomfiture, of the Democratic party : wherever he has addressed the people and developed the beauties of squatter sovereignty wherever he ' has denounced his honorable and upright opponents Breckinridge and Lane, and their supporters, With : the most opprobrious epithets. It is him, aided bv the editor of the Slate Sentinel, who published .Lis speech on the Fair Ground in Indianapolis, which contained ... is outrageous abuse ot better men than himself, that S mi - .i , , ;' - , i should be held responsible for tho defeat of the (so- j called) "Democratic ticket." Had this insolent and j turbulent demagogue not been forced upon the Demcratic party of the North had his friends not defeated the nomination of a true and consistent advocate , of Democratic 'principles for President, we should not ' now hear the Republican shouts of victory in Indiana. : Had this infamous renegade this notorious associa e of Greeley, Blair, Bni h'ngame,and Colfax remained , out of the Si ate and not made a speech in it; had the 1 candidates on the State ticket, and their leading friends, not iilen'ified themselves arid made common cause with him, and not applauded that speech, we should not now I hear of the " defeat of the so-called Democratic ticket."' But it illv becomes the Sentinel, which interlarded ! every senence in the speech alluded to, in which the! ' " . , - n abuse heaped upon the ir.ends o: Lueckinridge ; and Lane appeals, whh iho-e words hi brackets j cheer." "shouts," "thunders o1' applause," ! it illy becomes that paper, which did its best to make j those vile epithets, " Mttrs," di-union!;.,'' arid t j ccsswms's," appear in the most i mpLai a- foim which j type could give themto attempt to ihrow the respon-j gibility for the defeat of the Slate ticket upon any one ! else than Douglas and Johnson and their followers,!

The Ledger manson ou the 2tiih of September at Indianapolis; and who is undoubtedly the shrewdest editor in the leife many others, not present, read those speeches in the j Douglas party, must have found out at last, that Sentinel, with the editor's cndorsiment. They heard! Bright's prediction is about to be. realized that Dougami read those vile epithets applied to them, which j las will not get a single whole State in the Union. the rknitnel took such unu.-ual pains to set forth to to I Like the Cincinnati Enquirer, and other Douglas rats, much adantage. It was natural that the great body j he is evidently making preparations for leaving a of these friends of Bhk kinridge and Lane should i "sinking ship" and going on board the Bell craft, fvel indignant at Mich calumnies; it was natural thatj But is it true that Crittenden is the "life-long friend they should ivtoit upon lhcirdcfumers,and hurl back j of Clay?"

u; oa tl.em, mlti great tone ami ellect. those mtamous; i terms, " disuuionis s," ' secessionists," and " traitors; it was natural that they should hold the candidates on the State ticket, and their leading friends, including the editor of the St-i!intl, who countenanced such abu-e, n sponsible for the outiagcs committed tijion tVir feelings; it was natural that they should cnlertiin a repugnance towards the candidates for State officers w ho identified themselves with Douglas equal, at least, to that which they entertained towards the Lincoln Candidate. Still, notwithstanding all this, tiry dul not rote the Rjtuf-iirnn ticket ; and such a ,.!,ar.,. nu.L l,v -In- Sentinel U .1 n-iM liOsnuun nd charge, made n . he ,,,.., a n.st luiawou. and .otu UL-noext. Ii illy corapnrtm with common prudence, if n"t with

common sense, on the part of the leading organ of Douglas infamous, ns he politically is, for "shaking hands" with Greeley, Blair, Burlingame und Colfax, and for " uniting " with them in unscrupulous efforts to oust Bright, Fitch, Lane and Green, from their seats in the Senate, and to give their places to Republicans, and thus break down the Democratic ascendancy in that body; it illy comports, we say, with any thing approaching to prudence, sense, or truth, to make such a charge against our distinguished Senators, or their friends, as that of their "uniting together in a common effort to defeat the Democratic Stale ticket." It is a most infamous lie: and the author of it did not believe it when he penned it. The. charge that they, or other Supporters of Breckinridge and LANiTi7icra;"'pursucd such a course, is based onlyupon "a dispatch from Grecncastle. to the Cincinnati Gazette" a Republican paper. Now, as an offset to this dispatch, we give the following paragraph from the Greencastle Banner, also a Republican paper, which states that " the Breckinridge men did not vote for

Republicans; but stood aloof, and did not vote at all, except where they had candidates of their own." " The average Republican majority in this Putnam, county, will be about 150. In this result, the Breckinridge men, true to their allegiance to principle, contributed no mean part. 'They did not, with perhaps a few exceptions, vote for Republicans, but stood aloof, and did not vole at all, except where they had candidates of their own. In short, they stood off and were willing spectators to the drubbing which the Republicans gave the Douglasites." That's the fact. The Breckinridge men " stood off" and "witnessed the drubbing which the Republicans oave the Douglasites," except " where they had candidates of their own." Now, in many counties, as in Marion ami Putnam, they had tome candidates of their own for county ofiiccs, on the same ticket 'With the Douglas State candidates that is, candidates who are friendly to Breckinridge and Lane and in all such cases they, of course, voted for their friends, but for no others, And were they not justified in doing so? Were thev not justified in standing aloof, and "witnessing the dir.bbing ? " Douglas boasted in Lis speech that his friends were able to " whip " loth the Breckinridge and Lincoln parties in this State, and the Douglas managers shouted their assent to this j boast. . " We can whip them both," was the echo upon j the Fair Ground, as well as in the speech as published j in the Sentinel. Was it not natural and right for men who didn't care about being ,l whipped," to stand off ? j But it turns out, that the braggarts did not make good j their threat that they did not " whip" the Republi- j cans alone ; and hence their chagrin and howl of dis comfitu.re, as uttered through the Sentinel, because the j Breckinridge men did not come to the rescue. I Bingham draws upon Prentice. icard from several sources that Jes e D. Bright i Jeflersonvi'le on Tuesday ibr Lane, the Re AVe hea voted in J publican candidate for Governor. It' this be true, and we cannot doubt if, the Breckinridge Democracy are carrying out the "irrrepressible conflict" again-1 Douglas to a most dangerous extreme. Louisville Journal. We find the above paragraph from Prentice's paper in the State Sentinel of yesterday. Prentice's reputation for truth and veracity is well known to the Democracy of Indiana. He has been known to them for thirty odd years as the most unscrupulous defamer of character in the whole country. For upwards of a quarter of a century he has lied without measure against Andrew Jackson, James KPolk, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. Is it to be wondered at, that he should now lie about Jesse D. Bright ? You might travel from the North-eastern corner of Maine to the same point of Oregon, and you could not find a single true Democrat who would believe a word he says. It is true that he and Bingham have lately "shaken hands" together it is true that his proclamations and editorials, giving the cue to Bingham, and other Douglas leaders, have for some weeks before thejeleetioi appeared in the Sentinel; still, for all that, there cannot be one honest Democrat found to place the least1 confidence 'upon, anything coming front him. Is it necessary, then, for us to hunt up evidence convicting such a notorious liar of false--: hood. But even if this Roorback had the shadow of a basis which we do not believe; even if it is true that Mr. Bright did vote against the Douglas ticket against the particular friends of the man who not only "j voted, but tried hard to place this very same Henry v,i: ,i :,i. :.,, i- . .

Crittenden lothe friends of Bell and Everett in this city, says: There is no man more honored and revered among that large portion of our country, who, in their lifetime followed the banner of Clay and Webster, than that of the noble and illustrious John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky ; and there is no person living in whose advice they would place such implicit confidence. His ardent patriotism, his lifelong devotion to their principles and to the. cause of the Union, which he has so often illustrated by his surpassing abilities and burning eloquence bv his heroic and undoubted courage long ago placed him in the front rank of our national statesmen.

I rittenden is the uikiucstioned friend of Bell and Everett. Xew Albany Ledger. How wonderfully eloquent has the Ledger all at onec become in its praises of Crittenden! The"bril- , Ti1(.n a t,e j,,, 0f (;av were centered upon the AVhig National Convention of 1848, and when he almost begged for the nomination of President, as an "honorable discharge" for his " life-long " service to the country!' Did not Crittenden then advise (he Whigs to nominate Gen. Taylor, in preference to (he immoilal orator and statesman of Kentucky, who had built up the Whig party and giren it all the prestige of a national organization? Did he not advise the Whig leaders in that Convention to take up a man who had never voted a Whig ticket in his Lfe, merely because that man had appointed his son as his Aid- ' , . . ,, . 4 v 1 . f . dlCaln m the Mexican war? D.d not Lis myrani(lltf, to(;iay on that occasion break the old man's I heart, and dtroy all hi hope of ever reselling tli

Presidency and obtaining the reward from the Whig

party which was justly his duo? Whilst Crittenden then openly advocated the claims of Clay, he secretly advised his friends to go for Tavlor. His course was then something like it is now. While. ojenly advocating the support of Bell, in Kentucky, he, it is said, wrote a letter to his friends in Indiana to go for Douglas. The least published in praise of such a politician the better especially when you address it to honest men, who are governed by principle. Eapid Growth of the Breckinridge Party in Indiana. In Indiana, the Breckinridge men, numbering, it is supposed, some ten or twelve thousand, voted, four out of five for the" Republican State ticket, and tor Republican members of Congress. They voted that way to prevent the Democracy claiming a Douglas victory, had the Democratic ticket been elected. They will now have a separate electoral ticket in November, and will withdraw from the Republican party the strength they gave it on Tuesday last. Cincinnati Enquirer. Only listen 1 On tho day of the election, the Douglas street-blowers declared that the Breckinridge party did not number one thousand voters in the whole State. Only three days had passed by when the above paragraph was penned, acknowledging that they num bered at leat twelve thousand. If they go on increas ing at this rate, (and we hear of stampedes in almost every comity from Douglas to Breckinridge,) they cannot fail to carry the day at the November election. The " regular nomination" humbug, which has operated so successfully in favor of Douglas, has seen its best days. The masses begin to see the fraud practiced upon them; and tho great crowd of big and little office-seekers which assembled here on the 28th ult., find out that When they hurrahed for Douglas, they barked up the wrong tree. But the Enquirer must try its hand again, and try and come a little nearer to the truth. It should have said that at least forty thousand Breckinridge men stood aloof at the late election in Indiana. They will boon hand at the November election, under the Breckinridge and Lane flag, with a large number of recruits from tho Douglas ranks. The victories of their friends in Delaware and Florida, in addition to those in Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas, have already doubled their numbers. If Douglas withdraws, in ae cordance with the wishes of his best friends, (who now see that there is no chance of his carrying a single State, North or South) Indiana may yet be sot down fo.i Breckinridge.. . As to any considerable number of the friends of Breckinridge voting for the Republican State ticket at the late election, why that, the Enquieer knows, is all bosh. " The Cordial Understanding " of .the Bell Douglas Coalition. The great aim of the friends of Boll and Everett is to detach Northern States from Lincoln. The latter we can then look upon as surely defeated. His chances are not. as L'ood as those of Mr. Bell. The indications are, however, that with the cordial understanding which nrovails between the friends of Douqlas and Bell, a choice for President will be made in the Eiee I oral College that will be satisfactory, and that the House will be relieved ot the responsibility ot a choice Cincinnati Encjuirer. So, so. Then there is a " cordial understanding" one that is " satisfactory," between the friends of Douglas and Bell. Do tell us a little more about it. Is Bell to play second fiddle to Douglas, or Douglas to Bell ? What about the " loaves and fishes ? " Is the lion's share to go to the Douglas men or the Bell men ? What are the latter to receive in case the combined narties should be successful in their " great aim" to detach Northern States? The returns from Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, as well as from Vermont and Maine, indicate very bad luck in their "aim." ! They had better "pick their . flints and try it again.'' ; But suppose they should be successful iu the next firc. in case they should " detach any Northern 1 States," to what Southern States will they -attach 1 thein ? Missouri, Arkansas, .'Florida, and Delaware i have alrea ly spoken out through the ballot-boxes for ; Breckinridge, notwithstanding the prediction of Douglas find Johnson that he would not get any other 'State than South Carolina. Jsow, it the prophets have failed in all their calculations so far, what hope can they really entertain of cam ing any Slate, either North or South. V e are of the opinion that they will miss their "aim " everywhere; and the people gener. ally are beginning to think so too. The House will not oulv be "" relieved of the respoiuiH'itg of a choice' betweon Douglas and Bell, but the " Electoral .Colleges" also The " choice " is now between Breckinridge and Lincoln; and blind as a bat must the Enquirer man be, if he cannot perceive it. Is it True? : The charge was, some months since, made by the Richmond Enquirer, the old Democratic organ of Virginia, established by Thomas Jefferson himself, that " Douglas earnestly solicited Yancey, prior to the Baltimore Convention, to allow his name to be used on the Doulgas ticket for Vice President, which Yancey peremptorily declined," This charge, made by the Enquirer, has never been denied by Douglas; and it is now made again, in the following article, which we I extract from the Washington Constitution. As Douglas is not s.low in denying every frivolous thing that is brought against him, we should like to see some denial of this allegation, whether he did actually solicit the man whom he,as well as Johnson, the saloon candidate for the same office, has denounced as the head and front of tho disunionists of the South, to accept of the second po-itrou on his ticket?

Mr. Douglas' Organ Upon the Cry of Disunion,

The home organ of Mr. Douglas, tho Chicago Time and Herald, differs with its chief as to who are the real disunionists, and seems to regard his positions in the famous Norfolk speech as mere buncombe. Wo quote from a late editorial in that paper: Now we never had fears of trouble about the Union but in one event, and that is, when the Republicans attempt to carry out, practically, when in power, their dogmas, and the spirit of the party. A Southern party can never do anything, when in power, to dissolve the Union. They may try to dissolve it, because they cannot get power to protect themselves. Butbeing minority in the government, they can never pass laws which will endanger the Union, ..It is onljv.then by. tho success of a Northern sectional party, that tho Union can be endangered. We never supposed that any considerable portion of our people, anywhere desired disunion. AVe have before said, and here re peat, that we believe that this Union is stronger than any parly ties or personal preferences, and that it will outlast Southern honor. We mean by this that Southern men will bear until political dishonor is piled upon them (in their own estimation.) This dishonor can only be heaped upon them by the Republican party. There are men at the South who would consider the election of Lincoln as the " last straw that broke the camel's back," and would probably struggle for a dissolution; but we do not assert or believe that a majority of the people would sanction such a course.' But sliould blood once fiow in defense of Southern rights, there is no telling where public passion may lead or end. While we have dreaded dissolution, it has not been from anticipation of the results of any one movement. Cords so firmly knit as those binding this Union together, cannot be severed by a single blow, but the stoutest cable will give way from constant friction. We fear only that constant, and eternal agitation, which must end in making the L'niou more loveable no longer a holy thing. "When tho hearts of the people of a great section are permanently alienaled, the Union is already practically dissolved, and the forms of dissolution will soon follow. The Union is valuable only so long as its services to the people make it dear to them so long as it protects their common rights and subserves the ends for which it was created. We know that there is a charm in the word Union, and that its past usefulness will make men cling to it, even after its glory shall have departed (if that time ever comes, which, Heaven forbid:) but a name cannot live alway. The American people must, and will, in the end, have justice and equality, in spite of names and glorious phrases. The State Elections in Indiana, Ohio and :. Pennsylvania. . . As the great body of Breckinridge men took no pait or interest, in tho late State election in Indiana, we suppose they don't care much about the result. Suffice it to say, that Henry S. Lane, the Republican candidate, is elected Governor by a large majority it is estimated as high as fifteen thousand. The Republicans have also carried the Legislature, and seven out of the eleven Congressmen. Ohio and Pennsylvania have gone the same way. Such are the effects of Douglas' speeches in all these States ! The Democrats in the Keystone State are not so badly beaten as not to be able to carry the Union Electoral ticket, (nominated before the split at the National Convention) in November, provided the Douglas men do not succeed lit forming a coalition with the Bell men, and make another split, This they are now trying to do, according to the following paragraph, which we clip from the Cincinnati Enquirer: "It is not possible for Lincoln to carry Pennsylvania if the eilbrts which are making for a cordial union of the Douglas and Johnson and Bi ll and Everett men upon a common electoral ticket, succeed, which we have no doubt will be the case." Progress of the Campaign. VIRGINIA. Mr. James M. Wilson, of Virginia, in an elaborato address of four columns, tels why he abandons Douglas and rallies under Breckinridge and Lane. He says:. -.- "I have been a supporter of Douglas and Johnson. I sustained their nomination to preserve the integrity of the lVational Democratic party. 1 supported them as the nominees of the Democratic party upon tho past platform of principles of that parly and nominated iu accordance with the usages of that party. After an elaborate argument, he adds: " I have said I Supported' Douglas. I have supported Douglas ; I now support Breckinridge. I sustained Douglas to preserve tho nationality of the Democratic party. I now sustain Breckinridge to preserve the rights of the States. . That's a sample of the tendency of things at the South. It is going in solid phalanx for the rights of the States and the union of tho States. The Spanish Intervention in Mexico. We are informed by a Washington correspondent, that when our Mr. McLane, recently left Waiington on his return to Mexico, he took out with him important instructions to the commander of our Sqoadion in the Gulf the purport of which is supposed to be, that he is to use the force at his disposal to piccnt the landing of a Spanish force in Mexko in the interest of Miramon and the Church parly, under pretext of exacting from the Juarez Government the sum nder of the Marie Concepcivn, and the indemnity claimed by Spain for her seizure. ' The time lies arrived, when our Government sliould take a decided stand against Spanish or other European intervention in the affaire of Mexico. We Lave heavier claims than Spain against Mexico, and while we show forbearance in the present exigencies of the country, we ought not to permit any other power, under the pretence of enforcing claims, nearly all of which arc manifestly unjust, to invade either ibr the purpose of plunder or conquest. We know that as the Constitution gives the war-making power to Congress, it is not competent for the President, without its sanction, to take any steps which would directly involve the country in war, but as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, the President can, in any great emergency, direct them to net in defence of the rights and interests of the Republic. The President might call an extra session of Congress, but if Spain is already prepared and determined to land a formidable invading force in Mexico, the "J . - i finitely preter f,m e f ,"r interests should be done legitimately f1,rouL-rh ,,e medium of our Government, and not by br wha has been mildly called "irregular enterprises ot war- '"Tk s,"A display of jewelry was witnessed in New York on opening day which must have pleased w ladies.
