sident Breckinridge In Favor Of Douglas.
We have given our readers some of the facts
and circumstances proving the existence in thi-
State Of joint stock Seward and Douglas con
spiracy, financial and political, to break down
Mr.. Buchanans administration and the national
democracy. We have intimated that this bar
gain, entered into last summer. comprehended
certain material and financial aid" from our
Seward managers, in behalf of the anti-admini--
tration campaign of Douglas in Illinois, and
that, in consideration Of this financial assistance
the Douglas faction of this State are to give
lift to Mr.. Seward for 1850. by strengthening in
quiet way, the State and Congressional tickets
Of the republican party in our impending No
vember elections. In this view Of the matter
the following article from the Albany Journal,
calling for the first instalment from the Douglas
faction, shows that Thurlow Weed and his
Douglas man. are somewhat conversant with
the machinery behind the scenes

contests that this country has ever Witnessed"
and the late elections attest the good service
which the Douglas faction have rendered the cp-
position from Pennsylvania TO Iowa. Nor can
any rational politician any longer doubt that TIE
