ELEOTIOJTTIOIETS. We call on our friends in every county to provide themselves with plenty of Election Tickets. Do this at once. Don't neglect it, and see that they are furnished at every poll. Thev will be supplied at this office, and sent to any direction given, postage free, tor 75 cents a thousand. Send vour orders, with the money, to ELDER & DARKNESS. IJ3TThe 'money mut accompany the order, to secure attenlion. Friends of Breckinrilge and Lane! -Get Your Electoral Tickets, and Distribute Them! ; .-; We urgently call upon our friends throughout the State to prepare themselves with tickets for the approaching election, immediately.. There is not a day or an hour to bo lost. Every county, city, town and 'school district should be "provided with ballots, containing the names of the Breckinridge candidates for Electors, correct n ' printed. . The ' utmost- vigilance ' should be exercised to see that the '.-names of none of the Douglas candidates are inserted under the names of John' C. Bueckinuwge and .Joseph La.ne. The words " National Democratic Ticket" appear at the- head of our ballot ; but it is very easy for the Douglas schemers to place (he same words above the names of their candidates. Let all true Democrats compare the names on their tickets wiih those at the head of the. Old Line 'Guard, before they distribute them at the polls, or put them into the hands of the voters. Let them loak out for all kinds of trickery and imposition on the day of the election. Our friends can be supplied with any quantity of tickets immediately, upon .-'application' through 'the Post Office, or otherwise, at Seventy-Five Cents per thousand. cash. Send yourorders to Elder & Hardness Indianapolis. The Address of the Democratic State Central Committee Friendly to Breckinridge and Lane. Iu order that this Address may be circulated and read by all our political friends throughout the State, we have again inserted it on our fourth page. There are many Democrats in various .localities, who do not take any paper, and who have been led to believe, by the Douglas managers, that the little "Sucker" is the regular candidate for President of (he Democratic parly. The Address should be placed in the hands of such persons after our regular subscribers get through with it; and if there is any man among them who has not been blessed with the advantage of education,', some kind friend should volunteer to read it to him. : First Gun from Virginia. ,. At a special election held in Richmond a few days since for a member of the House of Delegates, the Breckinridge candidate was elected by sixty-four majority. Richmond has ever been the Gibraltar of AA'higgerv in Virginia. It gave over twelve hundred majority against Wise in 1S.55, when the Democrats carried the Suite by ten thousand majority, and has gone largely against the Democracy ever since. Calls for Breckinridge Speakers. We frequently receive letters to send speakers, friendly to Breckinridge and Laxe, to various counties in the State. It is out of our power to do so, in all cases. Our friends should call into action home made speakers. There are few school districts that cannot furnish some 'speakers, capable of shedding true Democratic light upon the vexed question now befo'-e the People. Let meetings b gotten up of the friends of BitEt KixRUHiE and Lane in even- schoolhouse in the State before the election. Let a general invitation be given to all Democrats to attend. And if there should be no speaker at any meeting, let some one read to the people the Address of the Democratic State Central Committee, which appears vqon the fourth page of the Old Line Guard. Let it be read, speech or no speech. The St. Piul Pioneer, a Doujlas organ, thus expresses the views of paity in Minnesota respecting fusion : 'e presume the statements a;-e substantially true ; and our conscience will not permit us to say that the result ought Dot to be as tiiey are said to be. We pave our views ou the subject of the poli.ieal harlotry involved in the unnatural fusion of elements uttoriy auUgonistie in spirit auil principle, when the outrage was consummated by the po i .k al pimps of the great Central States. We stated then thai the corrupt brfrain would be repudiated by the honest nia-sts of the conflicting organization; ud as we believe our propbecT was justly based, we have no rcgtcU to express taat it ha been righteouly fulfilled."

The Withdrawal of the Douglas Ticket in j Pennsylvania The Douglas and EepubliJ can Coalition in Oregon. ! The Douglas men of Pennsylvania have withdrawn ' their straight ticket, setting an example for the Breckinridge men of Indiana to follow. State Sentinel. The Douglas men did not withdraw their ticket in Pennsylvania, until they had done all the injury to ; the regular Democratic Electoral ticket in their power. They did not withdraw it before they had aided j the Republicans to break down the Democratic State j ticket. They did not withdraw it before they discovj ered the weakness of their Electoral ticket before 7 they began to see the sorry figure they would exhibit I after the election, when their small numbers would be 'exposed to public view. They did not withdraw it 1 until many of their leaders had pursued the course of ! Pain's C. Dunning, and taken refuge in the Republican camp. The Breckinridge Committee of Penn-

' svlvania, like the Breckinridge State Committee of i Indiana, made repeated attempts to bring about a eorj dial union with the Douglas Committee before the i State election. Had these overtures been accepted , by the Douglas men in season, Pennsylvania might I have been saved from the jaws of Republicanism. i But Mr. Douglas had passed through the State, and sworn, with an impious oath, that "oil and water would not mix," and that sooner than Breckinridge should I be elected, he would throw his influence into the scale ! of Lincoln. His bosom friends in Pennsylvania car- ! ried into effect his wishes, and threw their votes into I the Republican scale ; and thus assisted to elect Curtin Governor, and twenty Republican Congressmen AA'licn the Douglas Committee discovered that they had done all the. mischief they could to the Democratic party when they discovered they had not elected a single Douglas man to Congress, and that all the five Democratic members elected were friends of Breckinridge ami Lane when they discovered that many of their most active men had gone over lor good to the Republicans, and that they had no strength in the State left, thev made a virtue of necessity, and with- ! drew what the Sentinel calls their straight ticket, but ; which, we apprehend, was the most crooked one ever i presented to the Democracy of that State, j This is the example set by the Douglas organ "for the Breckinridge men of Indiana to follow." There is no analogy in the two cases not the least. Iu the first place, the name of Douglas does not deserve to :- be mentioned on the same day with that of Breckinridge. . While Douglua has been travelling about and acting the demagogue, everywhere making misj chief in the Democratic party, Breckinridge has ! remained at home, leaving his claims in the hands of ' the People. ' While Douglas has been, for two years, caucussing and voting cordialh- with the Republicans in the Senate, and making interest with them for support, Breckinridge has remained true to the Democratic party, and always been found acling with his Democratic associates in that body. AA'hile. Douglas' friends have been m iking coalitions with the Republican in Oregon and Missouri, and with the KnowNothings in Indiana, Ohio, and in all the Southern States. Breckinridge's friends have kept aloof from all such unnatural and unprincipled alliances. .AA'hile Doujas has denounced .Breckinridge- and his ; friends upon every stump as " bolters,'' " ilisunionists," i traitors," and " camp-ibllowers," Breckinridge lias ! never descended to east a syllable of abuse or reproach ! upon, any Democrat, friendly' '-'to his rival. AA'hile I Douglas has exerted a despotic sway over his friends to prevent them from uniting with the Breckinridge I t. , ! men. DRECkinridge nas never moveu a linger or said a word to defeat such union. AA'hile the Douglas -i Committees in all the Northern States have treated with contempt every overture for union between the two sections of the party, the Breckinridge Committees have on ail occasions exhibited towards them the utmost courtesy and forbearance. . V Such was the difference existing between the two candidates and their friends, when the disastrous State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana took place. Such was the difference existing when the effect of Douglas' speeches in the North and AA'est, in which he abused, without measure, Breckinridge and his supporters, was seen. Such was the difference exi-ting when the most positive evidence came to hand that Douglas could not carry a single Northern State in which his hopes were centred. Did Mr. Douglas pause in his reckless career, when he witnessed all the mischief he had done to the Democratic partv in the North ? Did he pause when he saw that defeat to that party, to which he owes so much, and which has been so lenient towards him, had followed in his train ? Not at all. Instead of trying to make amends for the evil he had done instead of manifesting any regret that he had forced himself upon a party which had no confidence in his claims or in his fiih'litv to its principles instead of remaining at home, and permitting that party to "manage its aflairs in its own way" he immediately starts off on another electioneering tour to the South-AA'estcrn States, to bring about the same disastrous results in that quarter. Instead of trying lo heal the wounds existing in the party in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and elsewhere, which he made in his late travels, he proceeds to Missouri and Tennessee, and other States, where he never had a hope of obtaining a single vote for himself, for the purpose of m iking capital for John Bell, the KnowNothing candidate, as he had done in Maine, Vermont, Pennsv Ivania, Ohio, and Indiana for Lincoln, the Republican candidate. And while he is engaged in fomenting mischief to the Democratic party there, the news is received of the consummation of the intrigue which he boasted he had set upon foot some time since in Oregon, to turn Joe Lane out of the Senate, and to put a Republican in his place. Can this be denied ? Look at the telegraphic column of the State Sentinel of Tuesd.iv last, and the damning proof will be found, that through a coalition between his friends and the Republicans in the O egon Legislature, J. AA'. Nesmith, a Douglas man, ana tu. u. ifcuer, a ivepuuucan, nave j been elected Senators in Congress.

Friends of Breckinridge and Lank! shall we withdraw our electoral ticket, and throw away our votes upon this arch-traitor, in order to help him to carry out. still further, his treason to the Democratic party V Honest friends of Douglas ! has he not gone far enough in the accomplishment of his work of treason, in his efforts to break down the Democratic ascendancy in the Senate, and to give the control of that body to the Republicans? Will you help him lo place in power, directly or indirectly, a Republican Administration? AA'e shall see 1 The Douglas Offer of the Vice Presidency to Mr. Yancey. We invite attention to the proof given in another column, in support of the charge made by the Richmond Enquirer, that a confidential friend of Mr. Douglas offered the nomination for Vice President to Mr. Yancey, before Johnson was nominated for that ollice in the Washington saloon. The charge is sustained by the testimony of Hon. S. S. Baxter, late Attorney General of Virginia, but now a distinguished lawyer in AA'ashington, D. C. AV'e reckon that we shall now see very little thunder-bolts in the Douglas organs directed at the head of the Alabama " disunionis;," AVe have the charity, however, to believe that when the Sentinel and other Douglas papers applied this ugly name to Yancey, it was only a mistake of the composi'ors--tha editors must have meant to hit Johnson, the Georgia " disuuionist." Yancey and the Vice Presidency. It has been asserted that Mr. Yancey was offered the nomination for the Vice Presidency by the friends of Mr. Douglas. The charge was first made public by the Richmond -(Va.) Enquirer, on the authority of a Virginia delegate to the Baltimore Convention. It has since been repeated by the same paper with much more particularity and positiveness. Its second article we published a few days ago. The Charleston (S. S.) Courier also stated that such vvas the fact; and having been questioned in regard to the evidence upon which it made the assertion, it replied, on the lGth inst., in the following paragraph, giving names and places. AVe commend it to the Douglasites in Kentucky; and it may be read with profit by the Bell men, who, just now, are so prolific of protestations of confidence in the devotion of the Squatters to the Union, while so profuse in their denunciations of Mr Yancey. The Charleston Courier, of Tuesday, October 1 Cth, said " We are authorized tostate positively and distinctly and on responsible evidence, which can be furnished lo a proper demand, that the nomination for the Vice Presidency on the Douglas ticket was offered to AVm, L. Yancey, of Alabama., This oiler was made through or by George N. Sanders, of New York, and with the knowledge of Stephen Arnold Dourlas, and but a few days belbre the meeting of the adjourned Convention at Baltimore. We respectfully request exchanges interested to give extensive circulation to this assertion, in the words of. and on the authority of the Courier, as we have placed it above, and we demand, in justice, that those, who undertake to doubt should put their negation in a proper form. This will be taken as an answer to all who have questioned us concerning our former assertion of the same fact, as we had not then the distinct evidence available, although we were fully convinced before we first uttered the assertion." Delicacies. The Republicans of Ro k Island District, Illinois, have nominated T. J. Picket for the State Senate and W. R. Smith for the House. The Rock Island Arrus presents the following gems from each of them, which sparkle with eloquence and shine with a ray as pure as only Republican decency is pure. The first is an extract from a speech by Mr. Pickett : " Suppose I was to tell von that I despise the Pope, and hate the PAPisrs.a'iid DETEST THE IRISH CATHOLIC VOTING CATTLE,who swarm round our polls at election time ! "The Doii'dasites depend on the faithfulness and IGNORANCE OF THEIR IRISH CATHOLIC ALLIES. " AA'e expert nothing from the Catholic element in the next election." The following from the other candidate is even more . choice : 'I hope to be eternally God-d d if lever vote for a Catholic for any office. "1 will kick any Irish or Dutch Catholic who voted for me. "I haven't prayed for a good many years, but I prayed two hours on my knees that John Brown might be taken to Abraham's bosom. "If God Almighty sutlers Abraham Lincoln to be defeated in this election. " It would be a d d sight better for the Dutch and Irish if they were .ill in slavery." The Straight Douglas Ticket in Pennsylvania.

The Progress of California. Though scarcely ten years old, California is a prodigy among States! The numerous fairs and agricultural exhibitions which have been held this autumn, show that she has advanced wonderfully, not only in agriculture, but iu the mechanical arts and almost every other department of industry. Ten or twelve year's ago, this rising State on the Pacific was almost withonta civilized inhabitant, and was commonly believed to be a barren waste, incapable of much improvement, owing to peculiarities of climate and soil. Now, to say nothing of between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000 in gold sent, out from California every vear. she has mined susceptible of producing the

choicest frui.s of both the torrid and temperate zones, , ., n - ....:.. anu tne average yieiu per acre oi ewi laiiuijr yi farm produce is claimed to be far greater tnau in any other Suite or country. Within the last ten years, ! according to the reports of the county assessors, there have been enclosed for agricultural purposes, nearly 900,000 acres of land, of which more than half was devoted to cereals, yielding an aggregate of 1 1,909,000 bushels of grain the last year. In the best wheat country, the yield fijl little short of thirty bushels per acre. This year it is stated that a much greater breadth of land was sown, with abundant returns to the husbandman there being frequent instances, according to one authority, in which from sixty to seventy bushels of wheat were taken from a single acre and the yield of wheat, barley and oats, alone, is estimated at 14,500,000 bushels. This, for a country which some five years ago was almost wholly dependent ou importations from abroad, is wonderful progress. Fruit culture is also fast rising in importance this year's crop being valued at $600,000, exclusive of the grape, from which there is promise of obtaining almost or quite 1,500,000 gallons of wine, and 100,000 gallons of brandy. Such is the excellence of the vinous beverages thus produced, and the facility with which they are manufactured, that we may reasonably anticipate the time as not far distant when the vineyards ! of California shall rival some of the most celebrated ' of France. Though Missouri promises great, things in this respect, Caliibrnia is a long way m advance of ' her. Sheep-raising and wool-growing are an interest ' rapidly auguieu'ing wool to the. value of 2,400.000 j having been exported last year, while the production for 1800 is estimated at double this amount. One large woolen factory is already in operation in San j Francisco, and another is in process of erection. Lumber is another leading interest. . A short time ago wholly dependent on other States, California exported last year 5,500,000 feet to foreign markets, after supplying her own wants. Such are the fruits of the annexation of California, under the Administration of a Southern man, to our country. Such are the fruits of this annexation, in agricultural and manufacturing points of view to say nothing of the vast mineral operations going on in that Staie, which are adding countless millions of gold to the currency of the world annually. This annexation was brought about, it should be recollected, under the auspices of James K. Polk, and through the aid chiefly of Southern votes in both houses of Congress. It was brought about, like the annexation of Louisiana, Texas and Florida, chiefly by Southern men, against the protest of Eastern statesmen. Southern policy was predominant in all the acquisitions of ter ritory, from the commencement of Jefferson's Adminisr t ration to the end of Polk's. Southern blood and treasure were contributed on all ojeas'ons, freely and liberally, to extend the area of the Union. Had Eastern policy prevailed iu our National councils had Eastern denunciations of ihe "slave power" prevailed in 1803, 1812, 1820, and 1847, neither Louisiana, Ar kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Fiorida, Texas, California, Kansas, Nebraska or Utah, would now form a part of our Confederacy. And yet the Eastern croakers of those days were as loud-mouthed against Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Polk, for the efforts which they made to add all these States and Territories to the country, as they are now against BitECKiNiiiDOE and Lane. The discordant sounds of .Abolitionism in NewEngland were first heard in 1803, when Jefferson, a Southern President, annexed the Louisiana territory, which now embraces the States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, and Nebraska, out of which at least five more States can be carved. That annexation was denounced in all the New-England pulpits as a design to extend the area of slavery. The same discordant sounds were heard when Monroe, another Southern President, -annexed Florida. The same sounds were heard when Polk annexed California, New Mexico, and Utah territory enough to form at least twelve additional States. Had not Southern men supported all these acquisitions had not Southern men generously given to the General Government the North-AA'est territory, which now constitutes the States of Indiana, Illinois, OhiS, Michigan, and AA'isconsin, there would not now be a single free State north of the Ohio River! And yet there are thousands and tens of thousands amongst us who have reaped all the benefits of Southern policy and South ern liberality who have lived to see the failure of Eastern predictions who have lived to see a large majority of free States spring into existence out of these ac piisi;ions-that now unite with the Eastern Abolition croakers to deprive Southern men of the right to go with their constitutional property and settle upon any part of the land annexed by them. AAre have now become strong in the Union. AVe have now eighteen free States to fifteen slave States. AVe have now eighteen millions of people in the North to less than ten millions in the South. Shall we play the j part. of vipers to sting our friends and benefactors? Shall we exert the strength which Southern men have given us, to crush them in the dust? Or shall we be governed by a generous and whole-souled magnanimity, and yield to our Southern brethren all the rights which the Constitution accords to them? They ask for nothing more. The time will come when our descendants may reouire the annexation of more territory- That which Tl.

Ex-Governor Paris 0. Dunning, Wo are informed, has sold himself, soul and body, to the Black Republican party; what the consideration may be, we have not learned. But were wo lo guess, we should say that perhaps they had promised him the Senatorship, or something else of equal importance. If such is the fact, we cannot envy him his position; he cannot change so suddenly without stultifying himself. AA'ho can place confidence in a renegade ? Bedford Enterprise. AA'e clipped (lie above paragraph from the Douglas organ in Lawrence county. The writer of it should not be too hard on Dunning. He was one of the leading delegates to the Charleston convention, and a bosom friend of Douglas. The ex-Governor is a shrewd politieiftu, and can see plainlyjiow things are

working in all the States against Douglas. He was apprehensive that Douglas might " cut down the bridges" before he got over on the Republican side, and therefore stole a march on the Douglas "crowd." Ilia .watchword, was "devil take the hindmost." AVo presume, however, that the Democratic organ only intended to hit Douglas, himself, a lick over Dunning' shoulders. See how they Fraternize! A gentleman writing from Carthage, Tennessee, lo the editor of the Nashville Union American, gives the following incident of the discussion at that place between Murray, (Breckinridge Elector,) Card well, (Douglas,) and Stanton, (Bell Elector:) "The first thirty minutes of Col. Murray's speech was devoted to Mr. Caldwell's speech and his position. He charged Mr. Cardwcll that ho had been two weeks in Car.hage consulting with .Stanton and Dewitt, Bell speakers, at their offices night and day ; and as an evidence of it he asked Mr. Cardwell lo permit him to look into his book. Mr. Murray showed that a'l the points Mr. Cardwell hail made were in the hand-writing of Mr. Stanton, in Card well's book, and Mr. Cardwell could not deny it." The Olive Branch. AVe heretofore advocated the acceptance of the " Olive Branch of Peace," tendered by the Breckinridge men to the Douglas. In this we did not stop to inquire who was in the wrong; the fact that our partv was divided, and that unless that division was healed, defeat would be the result, was enough to convince us of the propriety of harmonizing. So long as we are rent into two factions, so long will ruin and disaster be our portion. Our opinion always has been that there was wrong on both sides, and, without caring who is the most to blame, duty to our country compels us to urge upon our mends to accept any oiler which will unite; and harmonize (he party. If this be not done, Mr. Lincoln stands a very sure chance to get Indiana next November, and the Democracy alone will be to blame. AA'e are convinced that could the masses of the Democracy determine this thing, it would be done in such a manner as would give the entire Democratic vote against the Republican nominee next November. And what is there obnoxiou in fusing with Breckinridgo men members of our own household our brethren when we are courting favor with the KnowNolhings? AA'e are free to say that we would rather unite with men who had been trained in the Democratic faith erring though they might be than go a whoreing after our sworn and embittered enemies. And we know that nineteeu-twentieths of the Democracy of Johnson county are of like opinion. As for oursell', we intend casting our vote for Mr. Douglas, notwithstanding it has been published and industriously circulated over this county, that we intended, as soon as the State election was over, to come out for Mr. Breckinridge; but we do not like to do a vain thing, and therefore are we for a Union a compromise among Democrats. AA'e understand that a proposition is being made at the present time to harmonize. AVe know nothing of its terms. Franklin Herald, AA'e have not heard of any "proposition to harmonize" on one Electoral ticket, except the overture made, by the Breckinridge State Committee to the Douglas Committee on the 31st of July. The former Committee was in session during nearly all last week; but no such " proposition " was received by them. The latter Committee was, doubtless, too much engaged with its Know-Nothing friends to' entertain such a " proposition."
