what it says
We almost know that Mr.. Douglas will receive the
Democratic vote of the Northern States, and will
certainly receive large vote in the South, if not
majority; BIT WE SEE THAT ARE MISTAKEN IN
OUR OPINION DURING THE CANVASS, AND THAT BELL AND

AND URGE THE FRIENDS OF DoUGLAS TO FOLLOW SUIT.
We find the following in the States and Ujlioa the
DOUCLAs organ at Washington City:
Mr.. Cuttings Of Baltimore, one of the nOn-seced-
ing delegates at the Baltimore convention, addressed
a Douglas meeting at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on
Thursday evening last He bitterly opposed the
idea of a union between the Breckenridge and
Douglas wings, and expressed the desire to Lin
coin or any other Republican elected President
rather than Hon. John c. Breckenridge; which SEN

A BITTER OPPONENT IN POITIcs.-PRENTICE's 0PIN-
ION OF BREcKINRmGE.-Mr. GEO. Prentice wrote the
following about BREckIyRIDGE, when he was a mem
Der of Congress:
We ascribe nothing of corruption or dishonor to
Breckenridge himself. We believe him to be con-
sc1entious and honorable as well as a most able
man. We have been half afraid during the Canvass
to express fully our opinion of him, lest our wing
friends in this District and elsewhere might deem
US untrue TO the interest of our party Paragraphs
written by us some months ago in relation TO Mr..
Breckenridge have been kept at the heads of his
newspapers organs throughout the conflict and we
can. and do, emphatically re-assert every word OF
those paragraphs. Mr.. Breckenridge Is pure and
noble hearted man and liberal minded politician;
he has earned and won at home and at Washington,
as high reputation for talents belongs to any man
of his age IN the United States We do not know of
any gentleman we had rather in Congress, and
if he lived in a Locofoco District Linn boyd's
for instance, would sincerely rejoice IN his cleo
ton
The Hon. John C. Breckenridge, in letter to his
constituents, declines a reelection to Congress. He
will be missed in that body, HIS great urbanity,

EDITORS or THE UNION AND ANER1cAS:--In looking
over your paper of the sth, in an article headed,

very strong and just terms to one LeUis E. Parsons,
of Ala, oho," you say snecer in his life yoted

This circumstance brings to my mind very
striking occurrence which took place at Baltimore,
during the session of the convention, which, with
your consent desire to lay before your readers.V
You will remember that Mr.. YANoEY. in his Bslti-
more speech. gave Mr.. PARsoSs one of the most
relentless scathings that any man ever received
Meeting with Mr.. PARSONS at Barnum'e, after night
asked him if he had heard the speech of Mr.. YAM
cEY. BE replied that he had not told him he
was quite severe upon him. He asked if he was
personal. told him no-that he had charged hIn
with being Wing and then Know-Nothing all his
life-that he had never voted Democratic ticket
in his life. Mr.. PARSONS, in reply said that this
all true, and that his whole object in getting into
this convention was that he might secure the nom-
nation of s. A. DOUGLAS. as this was the only way
in his judgement, to destroy and ruin his old foe
the Democracy Not only SO, but he further said
that he intended his movements teint to the De-
mocraey-to conceal his real purposes if he could
but reach his aims.

A Lie Nailed to the Counter
From the Montgomery Mail.


Some days since it was charged by some Douglas
sheet in this State that Mr.. Breckenridge SIGNED
petition to Gov Wise, asking the pardon of one of
the Harper's Ferry conspIrators. We knew the
charge to be false but IN order to make assurance
doubly sure, telegraphed to Richmond for infor-
nation on the subject, and received the following
dispatch in reply. This alsehOOd is thus set at rest
and we hope that our exchanges throughout the
State will let their readers know to what despcabe
means the squatters resortng for the purpose
of lnJur;ng NJ. Breckenridge. Here is the answer
to our dispatch.

what will the Bell Men in Georgia say.

We find in the editorial column of yesterdays
Patriot a communication written for that paper in
which the writer speaks of tine resolution in the
Democratic platform relative to the duty of the
Federal Government to protect when necessary, the
rights of persons and property in the Territories
and wherever else its constitutional authority ex-
tends. He says:
"The resolve is therefore purely an abstraction.
As SUCH it is unstatesmanlke and nconsequential to
propose it for subec of debate before the people
There might be some propriety-but we cannot see
it-in proposing such principle to the Senate for
vote But the people do not take notice Of abstrac
tons. They wisely act upon necessities. Political
leaders in proposing such question in a mere can
for the election of a President, show to the
thinking mind, they have some Interior object"
What will the Georgia and other Southern BELL
men, who approve of the Resolution thus referred
to- say to this denunciatiOn Of it in the editorial col
umnE of one Of Mr.. BELLS home organs?

PoLTTIcAz Observation-Disclosures Democrats viii
be ct loss to understand BY what authority or right
DIR. Miles Taylor, Chairman Of the National Execu-
tire Committee, assumes to forbid the Union of the
friends of Dogulas and Breckiaridge, on common
Electoral tickets, in the several States procla-
nation to this effect has been sent broadcast over
the country, having for its object no Doubt the pre-
vantlon Of any such cooperation has already been
commenced in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
contemplated in several other States. Although not
precisely IN the form of command, its language
amounts nearly to that and is TO say the least, de-
signed to open wider the breach between the two
sections of the Democracy. The following para
graph embodies the pith and substance Of the mani
festo -
$50 far as it is known to the members of the resi-
dent Executive Committee no person who supports
the action of the National Democrat Convention at
Baltimore, no person who desires the election of
Stephen A. Douglas to the Presidency and of Her
schel v. johnson to the Vice Presidency, has ever
expressed wish for any such arrangement or en-
tertained. or even eountenanccd for single mo-
ment any suggestion or proposition tending towards
it. Nor does the Committee believe that any such
arrangement can with proprety be made at any
time, IN any place, or under any circumstances,
with those who have placed Breckenridge and Lane
nnominstion, and are now their ayowed supporters
in opposition to the regular nominees OF the Demo-
cratic party.
We have supposed that the conduct of a political
campaign belonged to the people themselves. that
that it for them to determine only for whom
they shall vote, but how their will shall be carried
into effect. 1t has not been customary for candi-
dates or their committees at head quarters to issue
bulletins orders of the character of this from Mr.
| Miles Taylor, ard we apprehend that independent
electors in New York and elsewhere will give to it
just as much consideration it deserves, which, in
| our opinion is none at all.
The duty Of conducting the canvass in the several
States properly appertains to the Democracy there
| OF, and they may exercise a sound discretion re
specting the propriety Of nominating single double
Electoral tickets. If the candidates IN nomination
desire the votes of the Electors in the States they
may well submit their qualifications and leave it &c
the people themselves to give snch shape to their
action as they may deem expedieat. At all events
1t will not be likely to commend any candidate tO
public favors to demand of his friends the refusal
OF all overtures for cooperation and peace in the
party, by fighting battle Of determination and con
spiracy in favor of the Republican ticket.-J0Una

2. We are under existing circumstances, and from

s. We regard the foregoing restrictions unwar
ranted by the Constitution, deprivatng, degrading
insulting and gFevously sectional in legislation to
the South, and their existence upon the Statute
Book has tended not only to dwarf and impoversh
one section and build up the other, but that it has
encouraged subse-viency and demagogism in our
midst with their concomitant evils incident in the
moral degeneracy of proud and noble people. If
these restrictions and compromises be wiped
from the Statute Book; and the Government admin

How Our Opponents View It--SuggeItivc
Facts

1t may be interesting to our Democratic readers,
to note the view taken of the of DOUGLAS and
his supporters by the Black Republicans We quote
3 few paragraphs-from papers of that party
merely promising that the Tribune and other organs
of that party were for months filled with arguments
in favor of DoUGIAs's nomination, and predictions
that he would be the Democratic nominee.
The Springfield Republican says
asWe rejoice that there has been at last a deter
mined and successful North in Democratic Nation
al Convention; and we honor Stephen A. Douglas
that he had the rmness ana the will to lead It. We
rejoice because this fact discovers and destroys the
Democratic party, and renders Republican triumph
easy
The same paper adds
Light has suddenly fallen upon thousands of
ewes that were heretofore in darkness and we Shall
have new preachers, North and South of substantial
Irdcficdl ReptbicdniSm The fight and the victory of
the Northern Democracy at Charleston and Balu-
more are an Gnti-sdUey light and an dntStaUeTy ctc-
torg They are part of the great reaction against
the slavery interest, whose principal development
we have seen in the rise and progress of the RepH)
can pdrty and which is to be consummatcd this year
by that party's triumph"
The Hartford Press says:
The open fair and direct opponents of the~IRe
publicans are Breckenridge and Lane the candidates
of the National Democracy" Great numbers OF
the candid thoughtful and patriotic men in the
Douglas ranks viii recognize the fact that there
Jd tlco sides to this question and thatneutrality is i'm
possible They will perceive that the Republican poll
ca is that of the Declaration and COnsttutiOn-the
policy of fathers-the cause of Liberty, Civiliza-
ton and Religion. () They will assist in its peaceful
honorable and constitutional triumph"
Again-the same paper:
"The Douglas men have only 1inched this once
from the policy which they have hitherto uniformly
pursued They are in reality the bolters the seced
ers, the demoshers of the Democratic organization.
We thank them for the cork We thank them for the
crushing evidence they bear to the overwhelming
power of Republican principles.
1--WE could give them greater credit for moral cour-
age had they taken such steps before"
