Breckenridge and Lane.

1t is hardly necessary to say that VIC have
run up the flag Of Breckenridge and Lane, the
nominees ofthe Regular Democratic organiza-
ton at Baltimore, and have nailed the colors
to the mast. We are happy to see that mass
meeting will DO held in this city, on the Capt.
toll Square, this evening TO raiify their nomi-
nation.
Their nomination was made by votes from
all sections Of the Union, in Convention which
the rights and usages Of the Democratic party,
and In justice to sister States whose delegations
were excluded by the most palpable usurpa-
Nons to retire from the assemblage which has
nominated Mr.. Douglas.
The platforms Of the two Conventions will
show which Of these two divisions Of the Demo-
cratic party Is best entitled to the support of
the Democracy, not Of Virginia Of The South
only, but Of the whole Union. When it is re-
membered that the convention which has put
forth Mesars Breckenridge and Lane was not
overwhelming majority of the States that vote
for Democrats, but that all the Democratic Sem
ators of the United States, with the solitary ex-
ception Of Mr.. Douglas himself, have lately rat
lied the main principle in this canvass, and
that the Southern organization Of the Demo-
cratic party In Congress has sanctioned the
nomination Of these gentlemen with almost en-
tire unanimity, we do not zee how they can fail
to command every vote in Virginia which is
guided by q just regard for the interests of the
Democratic party, or an enlightened concern
for the welfare Of the United States.
Westrust that the meeting in Richmond to-
night will be followed by others throughout
the State, a. We have no doubt it will be.
But the most important thing will be the
meeting Of a general State Convention, which
should be speedily called In that convention,
and In the address to their constituents which
will be shortly sent forth to their respective
constituencies by the convention at large, and,
more especially, as to our own people, by the
Virginia delegation, the people can see and un-
derstand the real issues which this contest has
evolved. and can decide for themselves whether
they ought to espouse the cause of Douglas and
the umrpers, or of Breckenridge and Lane.
We appeal with confidence to the convention,
and urge the people to appoint their best men
to 1t. Let these all attend, and good will come
fit Standing by these nominations, upon the
conviction that it Is right and proper to do so,
We shall be glad TO see in all ways and at all
places the fullest inquiry and discussion as to
the propriety Of the whole course of those who
made them and we mean to discuss with per
feet freedom the conduct of the selfconstituted
majority which attempts to hold up Mr.. Doug
Las as the choice of majority Of the Demo
cratic party.--RieAwond Eraaanr.

Taslnt ON! Ta,lnt ont!

Some Of our friends are taunting US that
Gen. Joe Lane Ia very illiterate- incapable Of
dischargtng the duties Of the office, and many
other AiparaSisg assertions equally az Nm.
founded. And for their ediacation we subjoin
the following, which Is all he said ON the SEN
ate resolutions, and yet It covers the whole
ground, and commends itself to the Judgment
and approval Of every true Democrat:
! only desire to say, in relation to the series
OF which have already voted in favor of, that
I shall vote in favor Of them together meet with
my hearty appreciation. They assert the truth
they assert the great principles that the consti.
tutional rights Of the States are equal; that
the States have equal rights in this country
under the constitution, and, a. / understand 1t,
they must be sustained In that equality. These
resolutions only assert the principle; and I
NY that IL is . misfortune to the country, in
my opinion, that the principles laid down In
these revolutions had not been asserted sooner.
They ought to have been arrested by the Dem
ocratic party ten years ago. II they had been
you would have had no moro trouble in this
country today /; the whole Democratic party
would have been united and strong, and the
equality and constitutional rights Of the States
would have been maintained in the Territory,
and In all things; squatter sovereignty would
not have been heard of, and tc-lay We would
be united. II Is the fault of the Democratic
party lodging principle lodging the Con-
shtution itself, that brought the trouble upon
the country and the party that is experienced
to-day.
Sir, 1t appears to me to be very singular in
deed, that any man can hold that the Territory
OF this country belongs to portion of the peo-
PIE. and that the people OF one portion Of the
Union can 60 there and enjoy their property,
when the people Of another portion cannot en-
Joy the right of property in that Territory
Territory common to the whole country-Ier-
ritory that was earned or acquired by the COM
mon blood and common treasure of all-Terri-
tory that is situated by the common treasure
Of all and to say that all shall not have an
equal right there, is to deny fact go plain, a
principle 80 just, right so manifest, that can
hardly see how any man, who processes to be q
Democrat, can deny 1t, or how he can attempt
to embarrass the adoption Of The correct prin-
gelplea announced in these resolutions shall
thsfsfore vote against all the amendments and
evesything that is offered to oLstruct their pas
Esaxs. upon the ground that they assert the
ENqtal!ty and constitutional rights Of all the
Staten, which principle must be maintained, or

More Evidence of the Coalition
Between Douglas and Lincoln.

We invite the attention of our readers to the
subjoined article, taken from the editorial col
umns Of the Providence Daily Poa of the 10th
instant. This indirect way of supporting Lin
coin by the nomination Of Douglas will, we
predict, be abandoned by its perpetrators, and
in less than sixty days. The true democracy
will drive its authors to an open advocacy Of
the black-republican nominations.
The coalition think now that they will sue
coed but before the first day of September
they will be taught to understand that even the
combined forces Of Douglas and Lincoln can
neither intimidate nor distract the solid column
of the true democracy.
In the declaration that "either Stephen A.
Douglas or Abraham Lincoln will be elected
before ten ballots have taken place" there is
an acknowledgment that there is power in the
combination of the friends of those gentlemen
to effect that object, and even the time is limit
ed when this thing is to take place.
In view of such an admission, does it not be-
come every true democrat who intends TO cling
to the party to ask himself the question, Is my
democracy so far gone that / prefer Lincoln to
Breckenridge? Can it be possible that the
support Of Douglas leads to such result,
that If cannot succeed in procuring his cleo
ton prefer black-republcan? Such seems
to be the feeling of the New York At4s and
argus, the Providence Post, Senator Pngh, and
the leaders who have gone of from the demo-
cratic party, and have joined the faction who
are making IN instrument Of Mr.. Douglas to
rule or ruin the party:
"NoNsENsE.-It is nonsense for Southern
men to talk Of carrying the Presidential elec-
ton into the House Of Representatives, and then
electlng Mr.. Breckenridge to the presidency.
We tell them plainly no such thing is In the
peoples programme. We have little doubt
that Mr. Douglas will be elected by the people;
but if he is not, and the election goes to the
House, either Stephen A. Douglas or Abraham
Lincoln will be elected before ten ballots have
taken place. Mark that The people posi-
bly, may not triumph in this contest; but at
least the schemes Of the disorganizers are not
to be carried out in the House. In no possible
contingency can John G. Breckenridge or poor
old Joe Lane reach the Presidential office as
the result Of this treason!' 25-- .v-
