Put Your House in Order.

Next will follow civil war, bloodshed, property destroyed, the sacking of cities, murder, rapine, pestilence and famine will stalk in the rear to complete the destruction conjmenc 'd by Bright, Breckinridge and laneey at Baltimore. We sav, put vour house m order, and be prepared for the" event." Be watchful and vigilant Louisville Democrat. Wc read the Inst paragraph of the above article, from the, Douglas organ in Louisville, before we read ther. When we commenced reading, we thought it was an old article, published in that paper in 1855, the day after " blood; Monduy." There is so much in it about "fire," "restMing .the law," "civil war," "bloodshed," "property destroyed," "murder," and "rapine," that we at first concluded that they were the very words, which the Louisville Democrat then thundered into the cars of its readers against the Know-Noth-isthu same expressions used when the homes of the foreign-born citizens in that city were "red "and the bodies o.' men, women and children consumed in the flames. It recalled to our memory the days when ... i. . ii . ,1.... tlin nniKo nf true tile lh-mocrai ui'i gaimm v..... - - Democracy: and we were about tore-publish it as, evidence of its present delinquency, when it is found hand and glove with the Louisville Jouruid, the organ of that party which approved the "Murder," "rapine" and "eiril iv'ar," which occurred on that awful "Monday." We then cast our eye at the first paragraph, ami there beheld the letters " K. (i. C.," and wonder-! ed if they had not been substituted by the compositor in mistake for K. N." which once haunted so much the Democml' vision. ' : Upon perusing the article more closely, however, we discovered its true drift, and learned something, about the Charleston Boys mounting " cockades," like i those worn by their fathers in the good old days of '76. What does all that amount to ? Why, we recol--leet that we, ourselves, were among the Xew York Jioys who mounted the same sort of ." cockades," in j 1824, when the good and gallant old Lafayette, the companion of Washington, re-visited this country and arrived at New York city, and when the ' whole population turned out to escort him to the City j Hall. If the Charleston Boys don't do anything worse ; than wearing Revolutionary "cockades," they will; never set the Ohio River on fire. j The Southern youngsters have heard of the tom-i f,vilnrv nf (lie Northern Wide Awakes, who have uni-j formed themselves and mounted military caps, if not rifle-caps something a little more destructive to life than "cockades." The Southern youngsters, like their sires of '76, have as much enthusiasm as the Northern Boys, and like to imitate them in their military discipline. Would it not have been more commendable in the Douglas editors of Indiana, who copied and circulated this article, to look a little more at home, before they turned their eyes off to South Carolina ? But what on earth have Bright and litcli to do, with this movement of the " fire-eaters" in Charles- j ton? We were told, not long since, by the Louisville j Democrat, upon the authority of a Republican editor i at Jefiersonville, who is equal in guessing a thing to the best slab-sided Yankee to be found anywhere in. the neighborhood of Cape Cod, that our Senators were acting in concert with the Republicans in hdiana. IIowthcn, can they be connected with the "Jire- j, eaters who are concerned in this "cockade" business ; in' the far South i Liars should have good memories. ; It is well known, however, that there have always; been two parties, in South Carolinaand Georgia one j Union party, headed by Governor Cobb, now a mem- j ber of Mr.' Buchanan' Cabinet: and the other, the j bunion party, headed by Governor Johnson, the1 present Douglas candidate for Vice President. If there is really anything in the movement of the Charleston Boys, squinting at secession, the Louisville Democrat and its echoes in this Stale should hold j Johnson responsible for it not the BtiECKiNimxiK , party, who support the Cabinet, of which the leader: of the Union party is a member. j The Public Executioner. I Few men in our day have played so many different ; parts, whether well or ill. on the political stage as hasj Mr. Douglas he seems to have a peculiar penchant : for something new, startling and strange; to produce something out of the ordinary and expected course I of cvcnUseenis to be his peculiar forte, but it has been ; reserved for the crowning effort of his eveutful career: to totally eclipse all his former great-strung acts in ; fact, to consummate in one grind effort all that his versatile genius could accomplish, and at one stu-; pendous stride, to outstrip all competitors for immortality and fame. That act is his voluntary offer to act as public executioner in the event of the election of Mr. Lincoln, and the secession of the Southern ( States. ' ', This is Ins last highest bid for immortality to trans mit his name to posterity as the volunteer hangman ot ; his fellow countrymen of sister states, for their resist- , mice, as they may think, of arbitrary despotic power. George the third and his minions, tried the experiment ; of coercing a people, and we know the result: and we are now to behold if the advice and counsel of Mr.; Douglas are taken the tutile attempt to prevent the fecession of the Southern States with the halter and the bayonet. To what deeper lower depth of infamy and sivage brutality, can we descend ? The ancients had an adage that; "Those whom the gods! wish to destroy they first make mad:" is not that the; painful situation of our noble Senator? or is it the madness of desperation as he beholds the lat glimmer-', ing spark of his aspiration for the 1'iesidcncy expire V Springfield (") Democrat. : Pennsylvania. j The f'pland I'nion, an excellent Democratic paper,, publi.-hed at Media, Pennsylvania, four days after the election said : It is a tact not to be denied, that the straight-out Douglas vote throughout the State has been cast for Andrew G. Ctirtin. and that their sole object in No-i vember is the election of Abe Lincoln. They re-j ceived the directions how their vote was to be cast last j Tuesday, so as to tell most effectually, from the man! they worship, who, when he came into Pennsylvania j ami saw that all the elements opposed to Republican-; ism were likely to concentrate upon Gen. Foster and elect him, and thereby have an entering wedge to the election in November, which he well knew must enure to the advantage of John C. Breckinridge, told his friends in the very first speech he made in Pennsylva-j nia. to have nothing to do with the fusion, and the! jnquel shows how well his follower? took his adviee. '
Who are the Secessionists ? The Boston Post does not far mistake, the sentiments of the people of the South in the following examination into the Btrength ot the secession feeling in the slave. States. It says that Mr. Douglas, in his late stumping tour, has had much to say about "secessionists" and "disunionists," as constituting a class with whom he and his friends could tolerate no union; and in one of his recent malignant tlinga at tho Breckinridge wing of the Democracy he allowed himself to be betrayed into the unconscionable falsehood of saving, that if their candidate did not belong to this class" himself, all who upheld its nullification doctrines at the South, were his avowed partisans He also pronounctwl himself as decidedly in favor ot compelling the South to submit to Black Republican sectional' domination in ease of Mr. Lincoln's election,
and declared he would have no political fellowship with those who were not pledged to enforce the laws "in any contingency." Now it is well known that there is not one in a thousand of the voters at the South who will subscribe to this test laid down by Mr. Douglas. On this issue the masses of the Southern people will be found arrayed unanimously against hiin. But of those professed politicians in that section, who, at the present time, or in the past, have publicly advocated resistance to federal authority and the secession from the Union as the just alternative of the South in the event of the government falling into the hands of an aggressive sectional party, it is easy to show that a large portion of the most ultra of them are now the avowed partisans of Mr. Douglas as a Presidential candidate. It is true, they have no sympathy with his political views, and are well aware there is no chance for his election. But many of them who are disunionists per se, undoubtedly support his claims as the most effective mode of precipitating a disunion crisis; and others have personal motives to gain by subverting the present Democratic organization. Indeed, if the sentiments of his Southern friendsare to be the criterion of Mr. Douglas' merits as a Union candidate, according to the test which he applies to Air. Breckinridge, the former will be found sadly deficient in those very qualifications which he professes to deem so essential in those with whom he is willing to co-operate. For instance, Gov. Letcher of Virginia, an up-to-the-hub Douglas man, in his inaugural message to the Legislature of that State, thus defines liis position in regard to the Southern resistance issue: "The 'irrepressible conflict' doctrine announced and advocated by the ablest ami most distinguished leader of the Republican party, is an open declaration of war against the institution of African slavery wherever it exists, and I would be disloyal to Virginia and the South if I did not declare, that the election of such a man. entertaining such sentiments, and advocating such doctrines, ought to be resisted by the slavcholding States. The idea of permitting such a man to have the control and direction of the army and navy of the United States, and the appointment of high judicial and executive oilicers, (postmasters included.) cannot be entertained by the South for a moment." The sentiments of ex-Governor Johnson upon this point, before he became a squatter sovereign candidate ibr'the Vice Presidency, have been so thoroughly ventilated, that nothing can be. added to the strength and significance of his position as a consummate fire, eater. It Mr. Douglas was so horrorstricken at the idea of an alliance with secessionists, how happened he to get into such intimate political relation with the man (II. V. J.) who, in 1851, deliberately wrote as follows: . "The right of secession must be maintained.- It is the last, the only hope of the South. Let us maintain it with unanimity, and we can hold in check the spirit of abolitionism and consolidation. But if we yield if, the whole theory of our federative system is changed, and wo are in the power of those whose mercy is like that of the wolf to the lamb. If we yield it, we not onlv proclaim in advance that we will submit to usurpation and aggression, but that we endorse, we admit that we have no right to resist. And that is political vassalage." What is Wanted to Insure Lincoln's Defeat. An erroneous impression appears to have taken possession of the anti-Lincoln men in and out of this State, respecting the chances for carrying New. York against Lincoln at the November election. The divisioiis and differences among the anti-Lincoln men, in the early part of the campaign, led to the belief that the State was lost; and therefore, in all the estimates and calculations upon the Presidential campaign the thir-tv-five votes of the State of New York have been set down for the "rail-splitting" candidate. This will never do. The chances in t his State are by no means so desperate as many have supposed; and we beg leave to assure our readers, that it in entirely possible to pre vent its electoral vote from being caul for the tCeputilican nominees. : ''.'' The impression which gained possession of the public mind in the early stages of the campaign, were natural enough under the circumstances, but are bv no meaus justified at the present time. Then the antiLincoln men had separate tickets in the field, and their efforts were quite as much against each other as against the common enemy. -Now this entire strength is concentrated upon one Electoral ticket. The liepublicans never had a majority of the vote of New York Slate, and if proper exertions are made, they will not have a majority in this election. They are positively and unquestionably in a minority of all the votes in the State. The only question is, shall ' the vote be brought out, so as to secure a full expression of the sentiments of the electors. If this can be done, JSeic York will vote for the Union ticket, and Lincoln will he defeated! The 7 Vibune, whose senior editor has been perambulatingthe State, making Lincoln harangues, sums up his observations in the extravagant estimate of 70,000 for Lincoln North and West of Albany. No such result is probable. But faking his own estimate for that section of the State, yet Lincoln can he beaten by thousands. The. majority against Fremont in the counties excepted from Greeley's estimate was about eighty thousand; and even if' the Northern and Western counties give Lincoln 70,000, which we by no means believe, the combined vote against him in New York city, and the island and river counties, will be such as to consign .him to an ignominious defeat. The only dunbf about the vote in New York is. w hether a full vote shall be polled. That done. and the Republicans will be defeated, and the country saved from the calamity of their political domination for four year to come. Journal of Commerce. Yancey at Louisville, The Squat-tew have some cause to accuse Yancey of ingratitude. His terrible, exposition of Douglasisni yesterday, would have been bad enough from any one, but coming from a man whom they desired to take to their bosoms and load with their honors, and under whose lead as second in command they hoped to march to glorious victory, it is unbearable. ! They wanted to make him a candidate for Vice President, and he rejected their offer with scorn ; and w-herever he sK'aks" he gives a reason for refusing a political association with the " traveling candidate for President," bv showing up the inconsistency and bad faith of him who flies in the face of his own agreement, and in defiance of the Constitution and the decision of the Court, arrogantly assumes the right to force upon his old party associates, dogmas and doctrines they abhor. No candid man who listened to Yancey yesterday will question his sincerity and earnestness, no matter how much they may differ from bis conclusions. And those who take into consideration his opportunities for acquiring information, will be disposed to give much consideration to his emphatic declaration, that he does not believe Mr. Douglas will get one electoral vote ; and that except in Kentucky and Missouri he does not liclieve that John Bell haw the ghost of a chance for a single State, with the. chance against him in each ot these. Mr. Yancev declared for the Union and the enforcement of "the laws, and made an able argument in favor of non-intervention, in his speech yesterday, and proved that on these questions, at leat. he stands with Mr. Breckinridge. As these two points coyer the platforms of the Belleverett nd Douglas parties, why can't they come over and go with the Democracy to Wat Lincoln? Cnurirr, 21.
The Deed is Done The Infamy Consummated; - . The telegraph gives the. news brought by the Pony Express, from Oregon, that the coalition between the Douglas men aud the Black Republicans to divide the offices, and to send to the United States Senate, in the form of E. S. Baker, an -irrepressible conflict" Abolitionist, in the place of a Democrat, while Nesmith, who vents his abolition under the thin garb of Douglas squatterisni, takes the place of the gallant Lane, has been consummated. This coalition, formed by a base bargain between the Douglasites and the Abolitionists, attempted the defeat of the entire Democratic Stale and Congressional tickets. In this it was unsuccessful, but in the counties .'where a small majority would sometimes turn the scale on the Legislative- ticket,- they- weresuccessful. In every place where it could bo done, Douglas has banded with the enemies of Democracy. In Kentucky it was with the Know-Nothings the. bitter, prescriptive, dark lantern Order, that they coalesced, and elected a leading spirit of the Order to a State ollice abandoning their own candidate to vote for Combs, the life-long slanderer of 1 emocratie men, while in Oregon thev coalesce with the Abolitionists the men they profess to believe would disrupt the Union in order to carry out t heir love of negro equality, and these coalitions are formed in order to defeat. Democrats, by men who still profess, with lip and tongue, but not with soul, to belong to the Democratic organization, and to be anxious to battle for its principles. One wild huzza from the leading press in the Douglas interest will greet this union of traitors to the Democracy with the Abolitionists, and the allied armythe Blilils and the Black Georges, of the Opposition, will throw up their caps at the success of a coalition that will disgrace them forever in the eyes of the honest of all parlies. V The carrying out of this coalition is but a part of the 'same' scheme which is to elect Lincoln President of the United States. "Douglas and his men" find that they cannot rule, and hence are determined to rant the' Democratic party to place in the Presidential chair, as they have placed in the United Senate from Oregon, one whose election is but a triumph of onesection of the Union over the other who denies to fifteen of the States of the Republic an equality of rights with the other seventeen, and whose election is fraught with danger to the Republic. We have no words to speak of the loathing contempt we feel tor. the men who, still professing to hold Democracy dear, aided in this work, and those who justify it. " Utterly devoid of principle, such professing Democrats would sell their Saviour for a less price than Judas did, and lacking the shame of Judas they would then refuse to hang themselves, leaving that duty to be done, as was the. case of John Brown, by the public executioner. Cleveland Democrat..
Mrs. Caudle Kedivivus -An Amusing Curtain Lecture. Been out all night again. I'd like to know where you keep yourself till this time in the morning. It's not ten minutes since I heard the clock strike tour. You didn't hear it. No, of course you didn't. You wouldn't hear the last trump the nois would have to travel through an acre or two of German beer before it would get to your heariug. Had to go among your German friends ' Had to go? I'de like to know how you had to go? Some folks are dreadful willing to " had " to go. Yes, I know it's coming on election times; that's a good excuse to get away from your family and home. I wish there was no election in the whole- country--it would be much better off if it hadn't any. What did you do all night long? Who did you elect? Who did you see? Theater and dance ? Now, turn over here. Oh 1 Lord, am I in a hopyard or distillery, where, am I? AVhat have you got outside of you ? Did'nt drink too much. You must have got into a beer barrel, then, for it's coming out all over you, and how it smells. You danced, eh ? You must have cut a pretty figure; guess it was a lager reel. Do you think I'll'stand this going off to a dance all night ? AVho did you dance with ? I'll bet she was as homely as a pumpkin with two holes in it. Look here, you needn't pretend to sleep; I want to have a little domestic (!) conversation with you. 1 am your better-half, and your better-half proposes to discuss matters a little 1 Late ? How do you knowit's late? It's early enough to give you a piece of a woman's tongue. Tonguery! Yes, I am tonguery; that's part of a woman's prerogative, and I am going to use some of it on you. Let you alone ? Did you say that to the girl you danced with ? Oh, no; nothing of the sort ; it was, " Miss, shall 1 have the pleasure of your beautiful person for the next cortillon ?

Come back here ; where are you going? (Jet into another bed ? Not exactly ; this has been large enough heretofore, and has not grown any smaller lately. You danced, did you ? I'd like to' see you dance with me. I'm too old, I suppose. I ain't too old to give you fits. Here the lager-loving husband began to snore, and Mrs. Caudle subsided. From Putnam County. PnxAMVii.l.E, Ind., Oct. 21, 1800. Messrs. Editors: After consulting with a great many friends of S. A. Douglas, I find they are in favor of a union ticket, so as to carry the State of Indiana against Lincoln and his Abolition principles. Our interest is to unite and work together as Democrats, against that party which is sectional in principle. But there seems to be some men at Indianapolis claiming to be. leaders of the party who don't like to submit to a proposition for union. Such men had better stand out of the way at this time of trouble. We, the people, want peace and union. Then victory will be ours. We can beat the Republican party, in Putnam county, 2"0 votes, on a union ticket and if divided, they will get the county. Fellow Democrats of the State of Indiana! the time is near at hand when we will have to deposit our votes. We say, let there be a union ticket formed by the committees representing the tvo candidates J. C. BnEfKlNUinoE aud S. A. Dun "as and let the vote of the State be cast for the candidate having the highest electoral vote in other Slates. By this plan the State will go Demo-ratie by lO.Ooo votes. A Tkvk Democrat. Elections in Virginia. The Douglasites have claimed that James H. Cox has been elected to the State Senate from the Chesterfield district; but it turns out that he ha? been badlv beaten, though there was a complete fusion of the Bell and Douglas men in his favor. In the Prince Edwanl Senatorial District, A. D. Dickinson, (Breck) has been elected by an almost unanimous vote over his Bell competitor. In Patrick and Fluvanna counties, the Breckinridge candidates for the- -i louse of Delegates have been elected by large majorities. In Nottoway, Charles A Crump (Bell and Doug- j las.) is elected to the House of Delegates by a small majority, being a Democratic loss of only thirty-four j votes. I These special election? were brought on before the ' Presidential election by the Douglas Governor of Virginia for the purpose of damaging the prospects of the Democratic candidate. Instead of doing so, however, they have demonstrated that Breckinridge will carry the State by au iuimense majority, even though the Douglas and Bell men should unite upon one eto-tortil tieket.
No Chance for Douglas That Question is : decided--The Kesull now hetweeu Breck- ; inridge and Lincoln. , The chance for Douglas ever to be President has ' passed away. His running this time litis been a mere ! experiment on tho public credulity and on the public ' patience. The result, is as apparent as if it were ftlready announced and the votes of next month had : boen counted. .He will not carry an electoral vote except' fusion with other parties, arid even then the chances are slim and doubtful. Douglas is out of the question. The recent elections have made it as certain that he cannot carry a State as that the election will be held. Nobody is sanguine enough to believe it. . The most "crazy for Douglas" do not pretend, even in boasting, that he has a ghost of a show. This retribution is as righteous as is the certainty that it will fall ujion him. He is the reckless and vulgar assassin by whom the great American Democracy, if it be doomed to deathj will fall. That he is the first victim who tails beneath its ruin is just and deserved. Thcro are now in the field, virtually, but two candidates for the Presidency. These are Bukckinriiku; and Lincoln. Between them the issue lies. Out of seven Southern States that have voted within the past two months, Bkeckinuidc.e has carried six and Bell has carried one. Missouri, Arkansas, North Carolina, Delaware, Florida,' and Texes, by their votes have shown their adhesion to Breckinridge. Kentucky alone has gone against him. But in the North Douglas earned nothing. The voice of the people has already named John C. Breckinridge as the candidate of the Democracy. What then is the use of longer abiding by Douglas in his disastrous straits, or of further following his broken and failing fortunes. A vote for Breckinridge is a vote for a Democratic candidate that abides by all the. covenants of the Union, and whose motto is " the, constitution and the equality of the States." By that sign we will in the end conquer, though our triumph be delayed by the arts of traitors, and though we have been led into
some reverses by the management ot the demagogues, t who have assumed the reins of the party tor their bad and selfish ends. Madison ( Wisconsin) Argus. j The House Lost to the Republicans. The election on Tuesday indicates, beyond a doubt, that the next House of Representatives of the United States will be opposed to the Republican party. At present they control it, having organized it with a Republican 'Speaker, after a long and desperate struggle. The Democrats and opponents of the Republi can party have elected the following members in the , free States: ! Oregon.. Ohio ....... Pennsylvania. ... . . , Indiana. ... . . . . . . ... . 1 . 8 ; ' 19 To these may be added the five Southern districts in Illinois, the two members in California, and at least ten, if not more, in New York, making in the free Stales, at least, thirty-six, with a chance of others in New Jersey, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Massachusetts. Every member from the slave Suites, save Blair, of St. Louis, and perhaps Winter Davis, of Baltimore, if he should be elected, will oppose the Republican party. The House will thus stand : Democrats in the North .( Anti-Republicans in the South ...... , . . ....... UK j T2t This gives a majority against the Republicans in the House of eleven, as it consists, in all, of but two hundred and (hirty-scveli members. The United States Senate w hich meets after the 1th of March will also contain a majority opposed to the Republican partv. If so unlit, inexperienced, imbecile a man as Lincoln- should, unfortunately, be elected President, he would meet both houses of Congress opposed to him at the beginning of his Administration, and would be unable to carry through any Executive measure. There would be a dead-lock, an unfriendly feeling to begin with, between him and Congress. As it is now certain that both houses of Congress will be opposed to Lincoln, how foolish for any American citizen to vote for a President who cannot accomplish anything, if he should be chosen, and whose Administration would be a pitiable specimen ot political impotence. Cincinnati Enquirer. Good News. "'.;'"-;;;'.'"..'''' From the Nashville Union and American. From all portions of the South we are daily receiving the most encouraging accounts of the success of our cause. All doubts are now vanishing as to the result in the Southern States. There are hundreds of Douglas and Bell men who are now rallying to our standard in this emergency, satisfied that the only hope of defeating Lincoln is by supporting Breckinridge and Lane. They are determined to sink party prejudice at the election, willing to suffer temporary defeat rather than jeopardize the perpetuity of the government by throwing the slightest obstacle in the way of these candidates who alone stand a chance to beat I Black Republicanism. They can fight for local power hereafter. They will now strike for their country. The indications are clear and decided that the two or three doubtful Southern States, which Mr. Bell's friends hoped would cast their electoral votes for him, will stand in solid column with their sister Southern States. At the polls the South will be a unit. It is true that the Bell-Everett speakers ami papers claim much, but it is painfully evident to them that theirclaiinsofstrenglii will lie still more unfounded than they were in l5(i. In the recent election they have not" elected a single, solitary member of Congress. Four years ago their party had a few representatives north of Mason and Dixon's line. Now they have but one from the North, and he voted tor the present Black Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives. Not only will wc carry the South, but wc will carry California and Oregon: and the prospect of the sueeess of the joint electoral tickets in New York and New Jersey' are daily growing brighter. With them Lincoln is defeated, and Breckinridge and Lane will be elected by the electoral college. We say to our friends, be of good cheer. The skies are bnghtening. Let each and every man of us do our duty, and we sincerely believe a glorious triumph will reward our labors, and the Constitution and Equality of the States be preserved from the despoiling touch of Black Republicanism. Guilty of the Crime they Charge upon Others. The Douglas papers charged that the National j Democrats of Ohio and Indiana voted (he Republican ticket, aud everywhere the charge has been flatly con-1 tradietcd and disproved. In Kentucky the Douglas men, a a jiarty. abandoned their own candidate and voted for a Know Nothing ! candidate, and such papers as the Plain Dealer and ! Cincinnati Enqwrer gloruied over the tact. In California, the Douglits men. a a party, voted against Latham, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and against the Democratic candidates for Congress, and, by fusing with Black Republicans, sought to defeat the Democracy. Not a Douglas jwper in Ohio dared breathe one word of censure against ihem for so doing. In Oregon, ihe Douglas men fused with the Black Republicans, promising them, if successful, one of the United States Senators, while they took the other. Bv this fusion, the allied army of Douglas bolters and Abolitionist carried the Legislature and the base xlitical bargain was consummated. In North Carolina a similar fusion took place, in the different counties, on the Legislative ticket, between the Know Nothings and the Douglas men, which from the want of numbers on the part of the latter was signally defeated. Wherever an arrangement coidd be made by coalescing with any other party, to defeat the friends of Breckinridge and Lane, the Douglas men were always readv, and now they have the impudence to cliarge their own sins on the National IVuiocracy. CUrehnd VukktvW.
If Lincoln is Elected, Douglas will be Eet sponsible. It wu known at Charleston aud Baltimore that neither the fifteen slave States nor the two Pacific States, would, under any circumstances, vote for Douglasj because they had satisfactory evidence of his political tergiversation and unsoundness on consti tutional principles. No one expected that the Northern States which supported Fremont, would give him their votes. Well-informed men believed he could carry neither Pennsylvania, Indiana, or Illinois. Hence, it was perfectly apparent that his nomination was equivalent to a defeat of the Democratic party in every State. On the other hand, it was well understood that the nomination ot an unobjectionable Democrat would enable the party to carry the fifteen
- southern and two I acine ntates, and sucn otners as might have a majority of Democratic voters. Under these circumstances, and with a 'full knowledge that he cannot bo elected, Douglas demanded a nomination at the hands of his partisans, and pertinaciously insisted upon continuing to be a candidate. Aud why? Not that lie can or expects to be elected, but creating a division he multiplies the chances of securing its defeat. His only ground is that of intentional destruction bf the party from whom he sought support. .Because a niajoriy oi me oiaies reiuscu to participate in his nomination and support, he is now exerting all his ower to defeat their candidate. Nowhere has he said or intimated that he preferred the election of Breckinridge over Lincoln. He has only to say he desires it, and to act consistently with such a desire, when the former will be elected and the latter defeated. This he and his partisans know perfectly well. But his whole course, and that ot his friends, proves, beyond dispute, that he and they prefer the election of Lincoln to that of a thorough Democrat. He should remember that' the resxmsibility rests on him; the Democracy will remember and hold htm to it. Washington Constitution. Two Pictures for Germans to Look At. We clip the fwo articles which follow from the Buffalo Express, a Lincoln sheet: "The Indiana Republican papers bear honorable, and united testimony to the efficient aid rendered by the Germans in effecting the revolution in that State. The same class of freedom-loving citizens contributed in an equal degree to swell the Republican majorities in Pennsylvania. All honor to the Germans." Read the above, which does " all honor to the Germans," for turning the left cheek when smote upon the right, and then rend the following: " Who wii.i. take Ok kick 'Col. Forney, writing to his I'n ss. from Washington, says: ' The names of Southern men willing to take place in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet are freely canvassed. Among the rest are those of Edward Stanley, now of California and formerly of North Carolina; Kenneth Rayner and the. veteran John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina; T. A. R. Nelson and Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee ; and Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas. When the election of Mr. Lincoln is an accomplished fact, nothing will prevent the President elect from finding an abundance of material from which to select in the South.'" Every man above named, as willing to take ollice under Lincoln, in case he is elected President, is a bigoted Know-Nothing, who in the secret midnight caucuses of that order, swore, with the right hand rest-' ing upon the Bible and the other grasping the flag of the. county, never to ole for a man of Foreign birth tor any ollice, and never to give them employment, when a native, citizen could be procured, The "German"," who forget these things and herd with the bigoted Knovv-Nothiiigs and vote their Ticket, are now bespattered with praise fortheir folly . Cleveland Democrat . - More Fusion. . Douglas' advice is being adhered to by his friends. They will fuse with anything, to strike down the Constitutional Democracy. We all remember 'how, two years ago, Mr. Douglas set the example since but too well followed by his friends, w hen he -joined Hale, Seward, &c, in trying to turn Bright and Fitch out of the United States Senate in order to put in their stead McCarty, a Douglas anti-Lccomptonito, and Lane, a Black Republican. Froni that day to this, the particular friends of Mr. Dougla have availed themselves of every opportunity to affiliate more closely with the Abolitionists, Another instance now presents itself. In Oregon, the Douglasites and the Black Republicans first fused to obtain the organization of the Legislature. They succeeded. Now, we are informed, by the news from the Pacific coast, that their plans have been successful still further. Douglas' boast to the Abolitionist Burlingaine lias been made good. Ho and those with whom he is allied have got gallant Joe Lane's head in a basket ! Nesmith, Douglasite, and Baker, a brawling Abolitionist, are elected United States Senators from Oregon! Comment is unnecessary, Louisville Courier. Friends of Breckinridge and Lane! -Get Your Electoral Tickets, and Distribute Wc' urgently call upon our friends throughout the State lo prepare themselves with tickets tor the approaching election, immediately. There is not a day or an hour to be lost. Every county, city, town and school district should be provided with ballots, containing the names of the Breckinridge candidates for Electors, corn-dig 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. BuKCKiMtiDGE and JosjF.ru Lane. The words ?' National. Democratic Ticket" appear at the head of our ballot; but it is very easy for the Douglas schemers to place the same words above the names of their candidates. '. Let all true Democrats compare the names on their tickets with those at the head of the Old Line (iunrd, before they distribute them at the polls, or put them into the hands of the voters. Let them look 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 Ollice, or otherwise, at Seventy-Five Cents per thousand, cash.
