HOME MANUFAorURES-- Geo. w.
Deilzler has exhibited to US some specimens
of leather, just tanned az his new tannery
in this place. This leather, instead of GO
ing through with the long. tedious process
by which leather is tanned in the ordinary
way, was tanned by Bells patent process in
three days. The side of calf-skin which
he showed US was as soft. pliable and beau
tiful leather as we ever saw, and stood the
severest tests without cracking in the least.
He also showed US some saddle leather,
tanned by the new process, which had eve
Try appearance of being of the very best
quality. He has also some beautiful speci-
mems of wolf skins, tanned with the hair
On, which are remarkably soft and plant.
This tanning is done by the use of chemical
preparations, which, without at all injuring
the texture, strength or quality of the skin,
transforms it to leather in an incredible
short time. tits, evidently, a great advance
upon the old method of making leather. and
is most admirably adapted to this Western
country, where bark is so scarce as to al
most preclude tanning by the old method.
Mr.. Deitzler, we believe, owns the right for
the Territory, and we wish there were a
tannery in almost every neighborhood. We
might, then, soon be exporting leather, in
stead of sending our hides out of the Terri
tory, and then importing the leather back
again. The tanning interest is very large
one, and if it can be thoroughly established
in Kansas, will be of great value to the
Territory Laurence Republican.

1t is noticeable that thus far in the can
vass there hare been no threats from the
South of dissolution of the Union In case
Lincoln should be elected to the Presidency.
For many years this has been the staple cry
of the South whenever threatened with an
anti-slavery avalanche. or when it wanted q
new concession from the North. It was
well used in 1856, and undoubtedly con.
tributed to the election of Buchanan. by
driving to his support ,well-meaning but
weak-mindsd men. The Republican party
is now much more formidable than ever be-
fore. It has become compact. well drilled
organization. and is almost certain to carry
the Presidential election. Certainly now, il
ever, is the time to threaten the dissolution
of the Union. But the truth of the matter
is, that with the growing strength of the
Republican party disappears the last chance
for the dissolution of the Union, and the
South sees and knows it. The Republicans
have not only the strength but the determi-
nation to prevent such treason from being
consumated. The South has waited too
long; and now to threaten a dissolution,
when few months will witness the triumph
of party strong enough to prevent them
from carrying it out. were fallacy-would
make them but laughing stock for the world.

BALTIMORE.

The "irrepressible conflict" SO long going
on in the ranks of the Democratic party,
has at last resulted in an open rupture. with
two separate nominations for President and
Vice President.
When the Convention assembled al Balti-
more, desperate effort was made for a
compromise of the differences that had split
the Convention at Charleston. But they
oil failed. The delegates in the Douglas
interest comprised majority of the Con-
vention, and of course welded the controll-
ing power. They agreed to admit a portion
of the seeding delegales-those from States
where no contest had been made-buL
wherever the adherents of Douglas had
chosen delegates, these we're admitted, to the
exclusion of the regulars. The entire body
of the seceders refused these terms. and in
addition, twenty -four delegates from Vir-
ginia, majority of those from Tennessee
and North Carolina. all from Oregon, parts
of California, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Mas
the Convention as soon as the resolution
admitting the Douglas delegates from Ala
bama and Louisiana had been adopted. We
have not the details OF what followed, but
the result was that the remaining delegates
at Baltimore nominated Douglas for Presi-
dent, and Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, for Vice
President; while the Seceders proceeded to
Richmond and nominated John G. Brecken-
enridge. of KY. present Vice President. for
President, and 10. Lane, of Oregon, for
Vice President.
There will be no healing this split. 1t is
a permanent and fatal division of the hith-
erto united Democracy. The party had
become too corrupt longer to exist. and SO
deliberately cut its own throat, anticipating
in few months the verdict of the people.
OF the two tickets, that of the Seceders will
be likely TO receive the greater number OF
electoral votes. Breckenridge is personally
popular in the South, as we'll as in many
portions of the North. Nearly all the
Southern q. S. Senators win support the
Seeding ticket-which. if it does not give
the Southern States to breckenridge. will
throw them into the hands of Bell. The
only States which Douglas stands any chance
of carrying are New Jersey. Oregon, Cali
fornia, Virginia, North Carolina and Della

did not receive a single electoral vOte, as the

points in this direction.
. The Democracy have given us much
easier task than We had any right to expect.
They have fought half the battle for us
in their divisions. But it Won't do to relax
our vigilance and efforts until there has
been final rendering of the verdict in No
vember.
