He worships eiveral times every hour of every day at that shrine, not excepting Sundays. He took a strong interest in Douglas' nominal ion, spend-J ing his means freely, doing his share of the shouting, i

and always ready in case of necessity to tender his muscle in that behalf. He was at Baltimore during the war, followed the fire-eaters into their dens, and tremendous service for the Little Giant. He came back shouting for Douglas. He has been shouting for Douglas ever since. Every diiy he has assured us that " Dug." was going in like a tornado; that Providence had ordained the election of the Little Giant, and nothing could prevent it. We have occasionally pointed him to unfavorable indications, but his reply has always been': " That's nothing something will turn up in a day or two to overthrow that," Our friend's confidence was impregnable until last AVednesday. The electon returns struck him on a vital part. He caved. He now acknowledges that the "jig is up" with the Little Giant. He is going into mourning. A suit of genteel black, and crape on the left arm for thirty days, is to be his uniform. Cincinnati Times. A Remarkable Document of the Campaign. The 'most singular document which the present campaign has brought forth is a letter published in the Illinois papers, from the Douglas candidate for State Attorney, S. E. Flannigan, in which he asserts, that though his choice for President, above all other men,

is Mr. Doudas, vet savs that the election of Douglas

is an impossibility, and he has concluded to support Lincoln in order to put do vn the disuuionists. lie says : " I would willingly support Douglas, but a further support of him can have no effect than of carrying the election into the House of representatives, which will either elect Breckinridge, or if the House shall fail to elect bv the 4 th of March, it is probable the

Senate will elect Joe Lane, who becomes President of

the United States. And Lane will only lie a tool in the hands of the Disunionists to accomplish their own idea of breaking up the Confederacy and erecting the slave States, together with our Western country, into a separate and independent Government." Bring out the Proclamation,

It has been stated, says the Journal of Commerce and in some quarters Senator Seward is mentioned as authority that in the e vent of Mr. Lincoln's election to the Presidency, he will hasten to issue a manifesto, setting forth the principles which will guide him in administering the Government. This novel plan is

to be adopted, it is said, to quiet the South, and to

head off any attempt at secession from that quarter. Ordinarily it is deemed quite soon enough for a President elect to issue his programe when the clay arrives for his inauguration; but Mr. Lincoln, who we suppose has lain awake o' nights, (being a WideAwake,) thinking over the means which can be adopted for keeping those hot-headed Southerners in,, the Union, has decided, it appears, (and that decision meets the approval of the New York Times, which has invented a plan for securing Lincoln's election in the House of Representatives by bribery,) to do this by proclamation, not officially, after he shall have taken the oath of office, and become invested with power, but just as soon as it shall be determined that he is elected to the Chief Magistracy. We have one amendment to this, plan to suggest,

which is, that it would be better to send out the procla

mation (which it is to be presumed is already writton,) immediately. .Why wait for the election to be

held? Those rascally Southerners will be half out of

the Union before that time shall aarive. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and there is no knowing how much may be gained by "striking while the iron is hot." Besides, it might interest some of Mr. Lincoln's Anti-Slavery friends, to know in advance of the election, the precise method by which their candidate proposes to 'Ootton to the South," so a? to bring the Southern people into the support of his Administration. By all means hurry up the proclamation.

The Home of Senator Bright. j A majority of the Democrats in Clark county, Ind., where Mr. Bright lives, are friends of the Democratic candidates, and will vote for them, the Breckinridge Club in Jefiersonvillo alone numbering one hundred and sixteen members.

There is a large number of Democrats in the locality, who would give a good and industrious Democratic printer a very liberal support, not only in subscriptions, but in advertising and job work.

They had abused Douglas as a demagogue, as politically corrupt, and a freesoiler, and now to unite their fortunes with his is to drive the honest portion of their party into the ranks of the true Democracy. Why, then, you nsk, did they enter into this fusion? I answer simply for the purpose of aiding their friends abroad in manufacturing political capital. The State was committed irrevocably to Breckinridge, hence they had nothing to lose. This being the true state of things here, I am inclined to believe that the entire accounts of Bell's grow ing prospects are apochryphal. I live, as you are aware, contiguous to Louisiana, and throughout the

entire northern portion ot the State Douglas has but

ma, Ohio and Indiana were received, we have noticed, with no small concern, the indications of the coming contest in this State.

The Difference. From the Eaton Democrat. Mr. Breckinridge stands before the country the chosen representative of great principles, and the nominee of a great party. The declaration of principles preceded the choice of the man. The course ot the party was defined before the question of individual preference as to the leadership occupied the attention of the nominating body. Whether Mr. Breckinridge live or die. the party and its principles will remain the same. It will still be the National Democratic party, whose past history is a record of our country's progress, and whose continued preponderance, in Congress and the Administration, is essential to the prosperity and permanence of the Union. Mr. Douglas, on the other hand, is at once the can

to men in a strait, put forth such efforts as would

snatch from remorseless ruin the disappearing hope of their success, and make the State sure against the Republicans. But yesterday did the business tor us. We would not now give a continental farthing for Mr." Douglas' chance in Illinois. Everybody at the stand where the speaking was done, in the afternoon, must have noticed the remarkable feature in the manifestation of feeling there. There was nothing of that-spontaneous and irrepressible overflow and gush of joyfulness and wild hurrah, that was wont to characterize the charging, not to say cavorting, of the hosts of a triumphant and invincible Illinois Democracy. Indeed, the falling off was so great, in this regard, that it affected, perceptibly, every man on the stand. Illinois .Slate Dem.

We take it for granted that the report is correct, and that Mr. Douglas really used the above language. To say that the assertion is a gross misrepresentation, entirely destitute of a shadow of a foundation, is the mildest language that can be employed in regard to if. We know, and can, therefore, speak positively, that no instructions were given by the -Administration, either directly or indirectly, secretly or openly, to any federal officer, in Maine or anywhere else, as to how he should vote; and we also learn, from reliable anthority, that the federal olficcrs in Maine both voted and used their influence for Mr. Smart, the defeated candidate for governor. We

know that such was the opinion of Mr. Smart himself,

tunes of his party you will be required to scan Black Republican recruits in the North, and to run down

the rolls of the Know Nothings in the South. From beginning to end, from top to bottom, Douglasism is Douglas and Douglas only. Upon this narrow basis his party, such as it is, has been organized. His adherents went to Charleston indifferent to principle, heedless of consequences, intent only upon the advancement of their man. The wants and wishes of the Democratic party were as nothing to them. All their cares were summed up in the single purpose of nominating Douglas, and whether fraud or force was requisite, mattered not. The- were playing a desper

ate game with the Presidency for the States; and, other weapons failing, they resorted to means which

and that he so stated in a public speech subsequent to j had been denounced beforehand as incompatible with

truth. ..'-.

Desperate as his cause really is,forlorn as is his situation, hopeless as is his political prospects, and undig-

nineu as is ins course, we were not prepared to see him descend to wilful misrepresentation and calumny, in his desire to palliate his own guilt, or to gratify his

abortive malice. He may be very anxious to shift from his own shoulders the weight of responsibility for the republi

can successes at the North, which must crush him, but he cannot succeed in placing the smallest portion of

it on the shoulders of lhe .Administration, or the gal

lant, true Democrats who are fighting for Breckin

What Douglas Said. Alfred E. Lewis, of Philadelphia, having been asked to state explicitly what Mr. Douglas said to the Hon. Mr. McPherson, replied in the following letter which is published in the North Carolina Standard . " Philadelphia, July 23, 1800. " Dear Sir: Your favor has just been placed in my hands. The words of Judge Douglas, as nearly as I can at this moment recall them, as repeated to -me by the honorable gentleman I have named, were as follows: "BY GOD, SIR, THE ELECTION SHALL NEVER GO INTO THE HOUSE BEFORE IT SHALL GO INTO THE HOUSE, I WILL THROW IT OVER TO LINCOLN." The words thus used were accompanied by a violent gesture, and perhaps an additional oath.

"1 am, very truly, yours, "ALFRED E. LEWIS."

party integrity

Thus nominated, and in full view of the consequences of the nomination, Mr. Douglas accepted; and his course subsequently has been in perfect keeping with all that preceded it. Everything is centered in himself. When he speaks it is to praise himself, or denounce every Democrat who refuses to call him master. And all his plans reveal the same sinister and unscrupulous ambition. Because he cannot be President, he is willing to hand over the country to the tender mercies of a Black Republican Administration; gratuitously intimating his willingness to help Lincoln to flog the South into submission.

Second Choice of Douglas and his Friends,

The Douglas Electoral Ticket in Pennsylvania Withdrawn! The Douglas State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, at the meeting held in Philadelphia on the 18th instant, withdrew their Electoral ticket, and pledged themselves to supjiort the Reading Electoral ticket, but indorsed Douglas and Johnson as the nominees of the party. An attempt to erase the Breckinridge men from the ticket was unsuccessful. There is yet, therefore, a chance of carrying the old Keystone State against Lincoln. The recent

State election was no test of Lincoln's strength. Curtin, claimed as a Lincoln man, was nominated by what is called in Pennsylvania the " People's Party," ami received the votes of a large number of Bell and

Another Douglas Elector for Breckinridge. James Britton, Jr., Douglas Elector in the first district in Tennessee, in a speech at Greenville, on the 9th instant, declared his intention to canvass his district for Breckinridge and Lane. He said he was deceived by the Douglasites, who, having no strength themselves, were aided and abetted by the Bell party. He beliejtcd that their only object was the defeat of the DemW-atic party, and he henceforth would support the only representatives of sound Democratic principles Breckinridge and Lane. Who is to be Benefited by the Union in New York? The Cincinnati Commercial, thus gives its belief

what are the causes of the late Union in New York : " No one has any right to be surprised at the fact

that the Breckinridge and Lane men have entered '

into the New York combination against Lincoln. If the State should be carried against Lincoln, Breckinridge would be the only candidate who could derive any benefit from the victory. The case stands thus : If New York goes for the Fusionists, Lincoln cannot be elected in the Electoral College. Therefore, the election goes into Congress, where, from first to last, the contest would be between the Republicans and Southern Democrats. Bell and Douglas have but a vote each in the House. Johnson and Everett would have but one (Douglas) who would go for either of them in the Senate. It the BjII and Douglas men want to elect Breckinridge and Lane, the way to do it is to vote the Fusion ticket in New York. We

have, however, no apprehensions as to the result in

the Lmpire Mate.

Mr. James P. Bates, of Kentucky, says they are not running the Douglas ticket here with any expectation that it will be elected, but to defeat Breckinridge, and of course, to give the State to Bell. 'The Douglas Democrats here almost to a man accepted the advice of their organ and voted in August last to defeat McClarty, i. e. for Combs the Know Nothing. Richardson, of Illinois, Mr. Donglas' particular friend and confidant, says he is indifferent between Lincoln and Breckinridge. Forney, the representative of Mr. Douglas in Pennsylvania, says Curtin, the Black Republican, is in great part indebted to Douglasites for his recent magnificent

triumph. .

Mr. Douglas himself says he would prefer that New Jersey should go tor Lincoln rather than see a fusion between his friends and those of Breckinridge there

to defeat the Black Republicans.

The Cincinnati Enquirer rejoiced over the the probable defeat 'of .Gen. Lane in Oregon, knowing his

place would be filled by a Black Republican, if filled

at all. . . , .

Thomas Miller, a leading friend of Mr. Douglas in Ohio, we believe postmaster or ex-postmaster at Co

lumbus, said he would "rather see Lincoln elected

than Breckinridge."

Edson B. Olds, an ex-member of Congress from

Ohio, says he "prefers the election of Abraham Lin

Cheering from Kentucky. The Franklin Yeoman of the 18th inst., says: We receive the most gratifying and cheering accounts of the progress of the Democratic cause from all parts of the State. AVe have reason to assert that the State can be and will be thoroughly redeemed in November. We have reason to assert that we arc on the eve of a victory to be made doubly sweet from the reverse in August. The old First sends us the glad tidings that she alone will knock seven thousand out of the Opposition majority for Combs. Tin; watch fires are burning cheerily in the mountain districts, and we have assurances from both that Breckinridge's vote will be far heavier than has ever yet been given to Democratic candidates.

Rend the record, and see what a contemptible batch of falsehoods they are trying to palm off on the people, for the purpose of sustaining themselves in their ultra abolition notions. The record says that Kentucky was admitted into the Union on June 1st, 1792 George Wasliington, as President of the United States, approving. Tennessee was admitted into the Union as a slave State, on June 1st, 179C George Wasliington as President Jof the United States, approving.

From the Boone County Pioneer. The smoke of the battle has now cleared awav, and, although the exact figures are not yet ascertained, a general idea of the result may be arrived at. In Pennsylvania a union electoral ticket was formed, and the Democratic candidate for Governor endorsed and approved. The ultra Douglas men, however, under the lead of Forney, and in pursuance of the advice of Mr. Douglas himself, opposed both the union ticket and the candidate for Governor. The result is, the Republicans have carried the State by a little over 30,000 majority. In Ohio, offers of compromise' were made by the Breckinridge wing of the party, but they were rejected. The Republican majority has increased to 25,000. - - In Indiana, every effort was made by the friends of Breckinridge and Lane to unite the two w ings of the party against the common enemy, but their projxisitions were rejected as unworthy even ot consideration. The. Republicans have carried the. State by from (1,000 to 10,000 majority, with a large majority in both branches of the Legislature. ,

These three States were confidently counted on by the Douglas men ascertain for their favorite. He had

done what no other candidate ever did do, " stumped" them in favor of his own claims; and it was boastingly proclaimed that the enthusiasm for the "little Giant" was unparalleled in the history of the country. The result is known, and Douglasism has suffered a Waterloo defeat. It has been literally " wiped out." The "enthusiasm" has - "wilted down" to a most desperate hopelessness. .Squatter Sovereignty is at a discount' '- my great p-u-r-ineiple" has "gone up," The result has proved just what we have predicted

from the first that Douglas cannot get the electoral vote of a single State in the Union. That is fixed and certain. It is palpably evident to disown friends - palpably evident to every one. While this has been the result at the North, elections have also taken place at the South, in the Slates of Florida, Delaware and Mississippi. The friends of Breckinridge and Lane have carried all of them by overwhelming majorities. Everv day brings intelligence of fresh accessions to the National Democratic ranks, and it is now almost reduced to a certainty that the South will cast its vote as a unit for the National Democratic candidates. In view of these facts, we ask,why do not the friends of Mr. Douglas withdraw his name ? They know that he cannot carry a single State North, much less one South : and thev know, too, that the onlv effect of his

continuing a candidate must be to ensure the election of Lincoln. In God's name, has he. not riddled the

There is no doubt that the disruption of our nationality would inflict an immense and incalculable injun' upon the North. For the chief source of ita wealth, so far as the raw material is concerned, it is dependent upon the slave States. From them comes its cotton, its rice, sugar, tobacco and hemp, the supply of which would be at once stopped, should such a fearful evil as dissolution occur. In such an event, even-!

factory in New England would come to a sudden stand-still ; and gaunt famine, and haggard misery would stalk over a section which has been chiefly instrumental in originating and promoting our troubles. The commerce ot our great Atlantic marts would be prostrated and paralyzed, and not a passing commercial revulsion, but years upon years of financial ruin, would be the portion of large districts of the free Slates. But how stands the case with the South? She has very little, financially, to lose by the severance of our Federal relations. She owes her wealth, not to manufacture, but production. It springs from her prolific and teeming soil, which supplies not only all the requisites of home consumption, but a vast surplus for exportation. She might originate a manufacturing system for herself equal to all her necessities ; or, disliking this policy, ai she probably would, she could

easily lure Lngland fo do tins service for her. An essentially agricultural people, no financial panic could annihilate those solid fruits of the earth niion which

she mainly depends for her subsistence. In all material respects, therefore, she would be unaffected by the disaster which Douglas and Lincoln are endeavoring to bring about. The evil would be in lhe destruction of the noblest Constitution ever framed by man ; in the rupture of the most sacred historical associations; in the distrust in the stability of popular governments, which, whether justly or unjustly, would in consequence, to some extent, arise ; and in the disintegration of the fairest empire upon which the sun has ever shone. And should such a dread calamity befal us, who would have to bear the blame, save Mr. Douglas, and his fellow-conspirators? St. Louis Bulletin. Bkiiisii Pkincks on tjikik Travels. We have already alluded to the fact that while the Prince of Wales has been journeying through North America, his "little brother" Alfred has been representing the home government at the other end of the world.

At the last accounts, Prince Alfred's ship, the Eun alus, whs at the Cape of Good Hope, and the mixed population of her Majesty's African colonics were in a state of intens'; delight over their new sensation, as will be seen by some accounts of the Prince's arrival and reception which we publish elsewhere.

authorities carte lilanche to spend as much money as they thought proper in tho facilitation of the Prince's journey-. beyond their frontier. All along the Prince's route he was feted and addressed exactly as his brother lias been in Canada. Both of them have had a '.dash at field spoi ls, the elder shooting quails, partridges and prairie chickens on the Illinois prairies, and the younger bringing down bucks and hares on the Amsterdam flats. And at about the same time that Albert Edward was engaged in opening the Victoria Bridge, Alfred was laying the foundation slone of the break-water and harbor works at Table Hay. There can be no doubt 'that these royal journeys have a very beneficial effect.
