MR.. CRITTENDEN, OF KENTUCKY.

When so able ana distinguished q statesman as
John j. Crenden subscribing, with protest against in
tolerance the so-called American PLATFORM and doing
in spirit of devotion to the demands not Of party but
of INSCRIPTIONS combination of factions not
tonshed that of lesser note and humber calbre
should accept the whole creed of the secret party without
scrupe or reserve 1t is doubtless intended tribute to
the enlightened and liberal example ofour fathers that Mr.
Crttenden utters his feeble protest against the bgoty
which the web and the wool Of the whole scheme
of the organization. But will this protest rail the
seal from off the bond?D viii it abate the phrensy of
gious fanaticsm? Win it the Catholic from dis
reimbursement? win it arrest the wild torrent that de-
grades and denounces all who do not believe in the creed
Of the midnight poters 1t would be madness to expect
such thing We should do injustice to the sagaciy Of
John j. Crittenden say that he expected any such
suit But than this If Mr.. Crittenden repudiaes
the intolerance that has been incorporated into the
party by its delegated national authority may be
permitted to ask by fair inference can, how he
will tolerate support the other less monstrous pro-
scriptons which led to believe him sanctions
ing2 Let us how sincere he is in his eleventh-hour
objections intolerance: why does he not include in
the objection the widespread Acknowledgement of ct
for the crime Of being born abroad? Why does he
throw the weight of his character against that abo
ltionism which dates its gigantic recuperaton from
the rise Of the party he endorses? Why does he not own
down upon the system by which the secret ploer, like
another secret sabbe strikes the bravest and the best in
obedience to the decree OF oathbound order lie that
for the right in this contest against the right Mr.
Crittenden cannot ride and tie in such crisis These
the days when masks must come Off great evil IS
not be cured by partial remedes and public man
cannot hope to stand who rejects only part of creed
which Is all of it deceptive and demoraizng. We had
hoped Mr. Crttenden lead in the work of repudia-
ting this design of the enemies of the Union We are
sorry however that he has recognised as worthy Of his
sanctonand this, too, in manner by no means in ac-

We have but little add, either by mail telegraph, to
the returns which furnished in yesterdays issue The

with the exception of Onsow county, given in another
place. and Baden which officially set down at l6O for Mr.
Reid we few returns Some there

down defeated by few votes As for Mr. Branch he

majority for Mr.. Reid Mr.. Kerr's competitor The defeat
of Mr. Kerr they could not render more certain"

GEN. JOHN A. QUITMAN.

If there is thing which, compared with other con-
tests plainly marks The present struggle of the demo
cratic party with hydraheaded oppostion is the gall
lantry with which the best of that party throw them
selves into the conflict On the other hand most OF the
leading intellecs of the sometime wing party either hold
back from the deception of knownohingsm else boldly
cooperate with their former adversaries Among those
who have come forward in the present emergency the
name of the intrepid General Quitman may be mentioned.
He has accepted the democratic nomination for Congress in
the 5h district of Mississippi and will of course be elect
ed The jackson Missssppan balls this event in the fol-
lowing terms
1t gives great pleasure to to the public that
Gen. John A. Quman has been unanimously and by acca
aoR nominated by the democratic convention at Monce
10 on the 23d inst for seat in Congress.
That the 9Th congressional district OF Mississippi will
rally the standard of the herostatesman and the
wavering rights democrat entertain doubt
The triumph of the democracy under the lead of gallant
chief, seems to a matter beyond controversy"
