Already.

Many persons were deluded into the no.
ton that Douglas hsd considerable strength
IN the South, and that a majority Of the
party there would acquiesce in bis nomina-
ton for President. Even the New York Tri-
bane, oblisicus OF the pact apparently, ex.
pressed the opinion some ten days ago
which il is now constrained to denounos-
that Douglas would carry more votes than
Breckenridge n the South.
The same united Democratic President,
Cabinet and Senate which stood up for the
South and Lccompton against Douglas and
the Republicans two years ago, now stand
equally united and firm for Breckinrjdpe
and Slave Code against Douglas and
Squatter Sovereignty. This simple state
ment 10 OF itself sufficient to satisfy any one
at oil familiar with human nature and
Southern politics that Douglas will not have
the ghost OF chance in any slav eho ldinp
State Of the Union.

the crime, bu: nothing could be fastened upon
him. SIrngfeIlow soon afterwards removed to
bucyrus, and remained there year, keeping n
doggery below the Railroad. He then removed
to the village of J1hnstown, Hardin county
Here he was taken sick, and in his illness be.

was constantly at work within him, for during
his delirum he mentioned Whitney's name Gta
