gjoJ tor 1200 Democratic majority, as far ns lie can learn, does not contain a single J)ouglas voter. J. Parker Jordan, Esq., of Perquimans, informs us that he docs not know of a single Douglas voter in his county. Ililary Baxter, Esq., of Craven county, the home of Mr. McRae, declares that the only Douglas man he knows of is Duncan McRae himself! The old North State is good for Breck and Lane, and Equality and State Rights by ten thousand majority." ' The Montgomery Advertiser says of public sentiment in Alabama: " Here, in Alabama, the Douglas party is fast dwindling to (he merest liandtul of political gamblers, disappointed oflioe seekers, and old Whigs and KnowNo' hings, who have borrowed the name oi Democracy and entered the party for the purpose of dividing that it may bo conquered. The honest supporters of Douglas have become heartily disgusted by his recent - exhibition, and no wash their bauds of 'LiuuKverj' day brings us evidence of this," So it is all over the South. A letter from Athens, Georgia, September 20th, reads: "I have never set down our majority at less than eight thousand, and now I am assured it will be nearer fifteen thousand." Another letter from Georgia, describing the rising enthusiasm in this State, reads: " Reliable men tell us tint the rising swell for Breckinridge and Lane is bound to sweep off all opposition in Georgia." The Savannah News says " there w;is held on Monday, at Bildwin, Florida, a large and enthusiastic Breckinridge and Lane meeting, at which some three thousand persons were present. Gen. Milton, Hon. S. R. Mallorv, George W. Call, 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 large majority." 'The editor of the Montgomery Mail says that " in passing through Tennessee, on our way to Lexington, about ten flays ago. we got laughed at considerably' by the Breckinridge men to whom we expressed fears about Tennessee. The Bell men hi re had shouted so loudly that we thought there must be something in it. We are now satisfied, however., that the friends ' of Breckinridge confidently count on his carrying the State by over tm thousand over both his competitors," The same order of details are given of the progress of State equality in every Southern State.- Jloston I'ost.

Bright and Fitch advise all Democrats to vote the Stale, District, and County tickets of the Democratic party, and are willing that they shall be the test of Democracy in Indiana." The Promise and the Performance, The recent elections in the Northern States Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio aiid Indiana have called forth the following able article in the Cleveland Xational Democrat. Let the Democrats, of the Iloosier State, read every word of it; for it is a just and forcible commentary upon the promise and performance of the Douglas men at Baltimore, who insisted upon putting up the lit.le Sucker for President in preference to any other candidate: At the National Convention of the Democracy held at Charleston and at Baltimore, to nominate a candidate for President, the Delegates from Ohio, Indiana, Maine and Vermont, and a portion of the delegates from Pennsylvania, were especially earnest in their endeavors lo .secure the nomination of Mr. Douglas. His claims were urged, not on account of any unusual fitness for the place over the other talented gentlemen named, but because of his unbounded popularity, and because he was the only candidate who could sweep the North and Northwest. It. was urged in opposition to this, that Mr. Douglas was not popular in the South that if nominated, because of his erratic caj reer, playing fast and loose on the slavery question, j he had destroyed the confidence of the Southern Democracy, and would lose voles and perhaps States. To this it was replied, that Mr. Douglas could carry Electoral votes enough in the North to elect him, without the aid of a single vote ill the South that he r would 'sweep' New England, wilh the exception of : Massachusetts Vermont, where he was born being 1 as certain lor him as fate itself, while Maine and other i States would surely follow. The Northwest, where I Mr. Douglas lived, would go for him in an unbroken l phalanx Ohio was certain for him by a majority so i large as to wrest her at once anil forever from the i hands of the Bla k Republicans, while the majority in 1 Indiana, if Judge Douglas were I he candidate, would swell many thou-ands. In the Central States, New York was certain; IVnnsylvania could be carried by a m ijonty larger than 111 the days ot Jackson. Mr. Douglas was the exponent of Popular SovereignlyPopular Sovereignty was so popular that it overshadowed all other riuestions, and when united to the more than Jackson popularity of Mr. Douglas, the latter would be irresistible. So strongly impressed were the delegates from Maine, Vermont, Ohio, Indiana, and a portion of the delegates from Pennsylvania, with the truth of their own declarations so utterly opposed to any compro mise, that ttiey ltnatly disrupted tr.e Convention, in order to make a fraudulent nomination of Mr. Douglas, as by this manner and by this mode alone could Mr. Douglas be brought into the field. The great popularity of Mr. Douglas has been tested. Vermont, the State where he was born, and where he made speeches, and which he was sure to carry, has voted, and. Black Republicanism has swept the State by an increased majority,' ranging to 20,000 the Slate Senate being unanimously Abolition, while the House has but 17 Democrats to 157 Republicans. Maine, too, has voted. Mr. Douglas visited the Stale and made almost superhuman exertions to carry it, but in Maine, as in every other State he visited, Mr. Douglas loses ground. The ancient enemy of the Democracy, under their new name of Republicans, have swept the State by a majority ,o largely in creased that no sane man even entertains the hope of bringing her back to the tola ot the laithtul. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana soon followed the former State Abolition at the last Presidential election, the latter two Democratic. To save these Stales from the general wreck, antl to show how great was his own popularity and his influence, Mr. Douglas visited each and pressed his "popular sovereignty " as the great panacea for all the ills the country is heir to. Abolitionism has swept Ohio from lake to river, as the fell blast of the Sirocco sweeps the great Sahara Desert, burying or blasting everything it touches. Indiana and Pennsylvania, loo, have felt its breath. Both were Democratic before the advent of Douglas as a candidate ; both are Abolition now. The sickening tale of States lost, and gone over to the enemy, is best told in the fewest words. In ancient times, Midas had the faculty of turning to gold everything he touched. In our days, Douglas seems to be gifted with a similar power, save that all he touches lurris to Abolitionism. In every spot he spoke the Abolition majorities are increased wherever he showed himself the Democratic vote diminishes wherever he went ruin to the Democracy seemed to follow in his train. Had Mr. Douglas been the nominee of the Democratic National Convention, at Charleston, or Baltimore had there been no disruption, and no other candidate in the field, the belief is now getting to be universal, that he would have been beaten in every State in the Union that ho would have been a Democratic candidate without a Democratic State to back his pretensions. Every: pledge made by his friends at Charleston and Baltimore has been repudiated by the people. Every boast made by the newspapers in bis suppoit has b'en falsified every prediction made by himself has been added to the proof that he is a false I rophet I livery where in Ohio, lie proclaimed the electoral vote of the State as certain for him in Pennsylvania he I was confident of sweeping Lincoln from the field in Indiana there would be scarce a grear e spot of Abolitionism left. ' j Indiana is, to use the figurative language of Mr. ! Douglas, one great " grease spot," for she is all Lincoln. Instead of sweeping Lincoln from Pennsylnania. Mr. Douglas ha3 swept himself, and with himself has swept the Democracy into a minority, and instead of carrying Ohio and securing her electoral vote, he who, plirenologically, has the organ of hope most lanrdy developed, dare not hope for any such result. So utterly defeated in all the Northern and Eastern States are the Democracy so hopeless seemed the contest, that the best men of the Republic quailed before the danger which surrounded it, when light was brought out of darkness, by the action of the Union tvtoi, r,f Vnw "Vf,.lr AVmtiflnf tlifl davdp fmin tha Douidas faction commanding the troubled political i waters to cease their angry waves, they have rallied to the rescue formed a "Union for the sake of the Union," which, if not broken up will save the country in the hour of its utmost need, and restoring that which "squatter sovereignty" and its power has done, will avert the danger and restore peace and harmony and confidence to the Democracy and to the country. So mote it be. The Eesult of Hoarseness. Doutrlas spoke in ColumbuK. Cleveland and Cincin-

Who Supports Douglas? The name of Prentice, as an adviser and leader of the Bell-Douglas factions, reminds us of some old political reminiscences in the State of New York, in 1828, when General Jackson was the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, and John Quiney Adams the opposition candidate. At that period we were perhaps, the youngest Jackson editor in the State, and were the organ of a political organization in old Ulster, headed by a time-honored Democrat of the name of Elmendorf, who had served three terms in Congress during the Administration of Jefferson. There was living at that time, in tho same place, another old man, called J titlge Hasbrouck, who had been notorious as a Federalist and supporter of old John Adams during the reign of terror, and who was always a consistent opponent of the Democracy. Parties were then somewhat confused, as they are now. There had existed in that State factions known as Clintonian and Buektail, and another one had then sprung up under the cognomen of Anti-Masons, something like the squatter-sovereign squad now led by the little Sucker. And when Jackson and the younger Adams, (both of whom had been connected with the Democratic party,) entered the field as rival candidates for the Presidency, there was a considerable breaking up of the. old factions, and a fresh organization of new parties. We exerted all our young energies, feeble as they were, to convince our readers that Old HickOi! y was the true Democratic candidate, and entitled to the support of every man with Democratic proclivities, no matter whether he was called Clintonian or Buektail, or by any other political appellation. But occasionally we would encounter old farmers from the rural districts, who did not place the most implicit confidence in the political course of the " boy Editor,". as they called us, and who were in something like a fog as to what candidate they should support Jackson or Adams. : ' In all such cases, we uniformly pointed to our old friend, Judge Elmendorf, as the supportor of Jackson, and to Judge Hasbrouck as the friend of Adams. That always answered the purpose of leading the wandering and doubtful Democrats into the" right track, and old Hickory came out ahead of Adams in Old Ulster county by a majority of 2,200. Perhaps it may answer a similar purpose note, to point to the course of George D. Prentice, the life-long opponent of Democratic principles the hoary-headed defamer of every Democratic President, from the days of Jefferson to those of Buchanan. Is it not enough to say that he advises the people of Indiana, through the columns of the State Sentinel and the New Albany Ledger, to vote for Douglas? while such time-honored Democrats as Lewis Cass and William O. Butler, who have been tho beacon lights of the Democracy for fifty years, advise them to vote for Breckinridge ? Baltimore Redeemed ! Maryland Certain for Breckinridge. The Louisville Courier -of Saturday gives the following cheering intelligence from Maryland. We did not look confidently to this State, as one to go for Breckinridge; but now we are satisfied that she, as well as all the other Southern Stales, will give him her electoral votes. As goes Baltimore, so goed the .State : .;' " Wrhen the telegraph brought us the news of the defeat of the K.-N. candidate for Mayor at tho municipal election on Wednesday last, we could scarcely credit it. It seemed too good to be true. When ft was confirmed, we still thought there was some mistake about it. But there is no longer room for doubt. Know-Nothingism has been beaten down in its stronghold. The friends- of Breckinridge and Lane have triumphed where they least hoped tor success. Baltimore is redeemed. This is, indeed, good news glorious news ! We claim tho victory in Baltimore on the authority of the Baltimore Clipper, the Bell-Everett organ, whose editor, L. A. Whitely, Esq., formerly' ot'" the Louisville Journal, is now the Secretary of the National Executive Committee of the Union party, at Washington City. Joe Lane Eangcrs. On Wednesday evening there will bo a meeting of the Joe Lane Rangkrs, and all the members are earnestly requested to be present. L. DUN LAP, President. General Lane at Evansville. The Democracy of the "PoiEet" have been enjoying a rich feast the past week. That brave and noble hero, the "'Marion of the Mexican War," has visited again the home of former days, and passed friendly greetings with the companions of his jouth, many of whom were wont to pursue with him the fleeting deer across these fertile plains then buta waste and howling wilderness. Many a gallant soldier, who served with the General upon the field of battle, welcomed him with a heart full of love for their worthy leader. Truly interesting was it to see one who had fought under him, grasp his hand, his eyes bcdiinmt-d with joy, and exclaim, " Is this our much lovtd Genci al ?

The General arrived in town on Friday last, stopping at the " Washington House," where he received many of his old friends. On Saturday, notwithstanding the severe stoim, he met a large number of citizens in Armstrong township, who had arembled to see the man who is to fill the second office in the gift of the American people. He conversed with the people in a social manner, not desiring to represent liim&elf
