Virginia. Endorsement of Linz
coin.

The Hon. W. L. Goggin, the opponent
of John Letcher in the last Gubernatorial
contest in Virginia., made a speech the
other day, in which be gave his opinion of
all the candidates forthe Presidency. He
said of Mr.. Lincoln:
There is another candidate before you.
Laughter, and cries of "He is smutty
one Oh, do not suppose that Abe shall
be forgotten. | shall now come to him,
and, let me give the devil his due. Dur
ing the whole course of my connection
with him in the House of Representatives,
| must say that ever found him gentle
men; he is not what the Breckenridge par
ty insinuate him to be; wish to do JUS
tice on all sides. [Cheers.] If you want
to know who Mr.. Lincoln is, 90 and ask
Mr.. Douglas, with whom he stumped every
county in the State of Illinois. Yes, go
and ask Mr.. Douglas whether Abe Lin
coin is rail-splitter or not. Laughter.
Ask him whether he is Democrat, i. e..
mauler, or not9 Renewed laughter. +
1t was my fortune, while was a member
of the House of Representatives, to be
member OF a committee with him; I was
chairman, and l must say that no man on
that committee worked more industriously
than he did. He was a man of high
order of talent, and when he spoke, no man
was listened to by those who were in that
House as visitors with more satisfaction
His private as well as his public character
was free from stain or blemish.

Douglas Democracy Devilins:

The Democratic Convention in Hamil-
ton county on Tuesday was in keeping
with the scenes of Monday night, The
Congressional Conventions were held at diff
ferent localities. George H. Pendleton
re-nominated in the First District by a
large majority over both Ferguson and
Lytle, and Alexandra Long was nomiua-
ted in the Second District, according to the
Douglas method at Baltimore. Then fol-
lowed the democratic County Conren-
ton" at Woods Theatre, which the Ga
zeaee describes as ''indescr:bably tumul-
tuous and disgusting" 1t adds:
Never did any political assemblage, with
in our knowledge, more completely cover
itself with disgrace. The grand political
row probably never had a parallel. The
Hibernian element was strongly in the as
eendant among the delegates. The spirit
of modern Democracy was quite too Wis
bly, at work among the congregaled masses.
Respectable Democrats hung their heads
with shame, and walked away TO mediate,
in more retired place, on the monstrous
evils growing out of their partisan practices
and discipline, and on the thorough corrup-
tion and final dissolution of their once
powerful party.
Without even settling the cases of any
of the fifteen contesting delegations, the
Convention" after hours of wrangliug,
cursing, fighting, and chaotic confusion,
barely escaped from literally breaking up
in general melee, by adjourniug for one
week.
This device was pathetically urged upon
them by George E. Pugh, not himself a
delegate, and carried in a momentary lull,
occasioned by his soothing eloquence and
gushing tears.

The CANVASS IN NEW YoRK.--The New
York Republicans have taken the most eff
cient steps to secure thorough organiza-
ton and canvass of the Empire State
They leave nothing to guess work-no-
thing to hap-hazard' The Republican
State Committee met at Albany on thurs
day laid out the campaign work. 1t COM
prehends very thorough preparations for
mass meetings in the different counties, to
be attended by the most able speakers
whose services can be secured, the distri-
button of canvass books, and an immediate
canvass of every School District in the
State. The County Committees are to
receive the canvass books and TO distribute
them to each School District.
The example of the Republicans of New
York in making complete School Dis
trict canvass of the State, might be follow
ed with great advantage by the Republi-
cans of every county in Ohio. Such thor
oughness, followed as it would be by other
judicious efforts in the way of meetings,
documents and consultations, would add
thousands 10 the Republican majority in
our State. No doubt of it, Cleveland
Leader.

A Losing Tour for Douglas.

The stump candidate made but short
search for his "Babes in the Woods" down
South, and for good reason. The trip did
not pay. The Bell men instead of Demo-
Gratis rushed to hear and burrah for him,
for effect merely. A Washington dispatch
Of the 4th to the Gazestte says:
am reliably assured that Mr.. Douglas
Southern campaign tour, so far from bene-
fitting him, has done himself and his cause
infinite damage. He has been so violent
and abusive of Breckenridge, towards whom
the people of the South are naturally well
disposed, that great revulsion of feeling
to his detriment had occurred among those
who were at first disposed to support him.
l will mention an example: The editor of
Raleigh Standard, the leading Democratic
paper of North Carolina, was delegate
to the Democratic National Convention
He was kindly disposed towards Douglas,
and opened his columns to article in his
behalf. Since The visit of Mr.. Douglas, to
North Carolina, and his open affiliation
with the Bell men, and his wholesale abuse
of Breckenrid ge. the editor of the Standard
announces that he shall hereafter treat Mr..
Douglas and his friends as enemies of the
party, and will close bis columns against
them.
His speeches in Virginia have had the
same effect and Ex-Gov. Smith feels now
assured since the palpable evidence of
degrading coalition between Bell and Doug.
las, that the Old Dominion is safe for
Breckenridge. The Bell men, in their
loud moutbed zeal for the Little Giant,
have exposed the plot, and the people, who
always hate and detest unprinciped coali-
tions, whose only object is the spoils, have
taken the alarm.

M1LLER1sM STILL IN BLAsT.-The sect
of Millerites in the United States and Can
ada now numbers almost SO, 900, land where
they abound it is fashionable to gather in
camp meeting from all parts of the coun-
try. One was held recently in Massachu-
setts, the religious services continuing for
some days. II is stated that portion of
the MlIerites look for the Millennium be-
fore the last of March 1861; others are
confident that the world will last two years
longer, while Others still predict univer-
sal overthrow in about sixteen weeks. In
this quarter Millerism appears to have
pretty much run out.

The. Wonderful Population In
China.

A correspondent of the Boston Irdv-
eler, on board the U. S. Frigate Powhat-
tan, gives much interesting information
touching the census of China, and the al
most coutless multitudes of the "Celestials
The aggregate population is 400, 900
A curious calculation has been made to
give an idea of the number of human be.
ings in the Empire. The writer says "the
mind cannot grasp the real import of so
vast number. -Four hundred millions!
What does it mean! Count it. Night
and day, without rest, or sleep, you contin-
ue the weary work; yet eleven days have
passed before you have counted the first
million, and more than as many years be-
fore the end of the tedious task can be
reached" He also supposes this mighty
multitude to take up its line of march In
grand procession, placed in single file at
six feet apart, and marching at the rate of
thirty miles day, except on the Sabbath,
which is given to rest. Day after dsy the
moving column advances, the head push
ing far on towards the rising sun, snow
bridge the Pacific, now bridge the Allan
tic. And now the Pacific is crossed, but
still the long procession marches on, stretch
ing away across high mountains, and sun
ny plains and broad rivers, through China
and India and the European kingdoms,
and on again over the stormy bosom of
the Atlantic. But the circuit of the world
itself affords not standing room. The end
less column will double upon itself, and
double again and again, and shall girdle
the earth eig hteen times before the great
reservoir which furnishes these numberless
multitudes is exhausted. Weeks and
years roll away, and still they come, men,
momen, and children. Since the march
began, the little child has become man,
and yet, on they come in unfailing num-
bers. Not till the end of forty one years
will the last of the long procession have
passed"
Such is China and its population; and
if Homer could breach eloquently on the
vanity of man as mortal, with equal elo
quence, had he seen or contemplated the
millions of China, could he have preached
on the vanity of man as an individual.

What the Czar is Doing.

The Gar, says the Evening Journal, i:
reported to be making preparations quietly
but on vast scale, for possible emergen-
cies in Turkey. No one can predict when
the next Russian army will march into
European Turkey but whenever it does the
end of the reign of the Sultan will be
near at hand. The Greek Christians, who
compose a majority of the rural popula-
tion of the Turkish provinces,are on the
side of Russia already.
The Russian Government has not been
idle since the conclusion of its peace with
the Western Powers. Not only has the
military strength of the Empire been in
creased, but great civil reforms and enter
prises have been pushed forward with Wig
or. The Gear is gradually leading his en-
pire out from barbarism 10 high civilization.
He is freeing the Serfs, removing restric-
tons on Foreigners, abolishing cruel pun
ishments, Tightening the restrictions on the
press, building railways across barren plains,
raising cities in the place of hamlets, and
is now surveying route for Trans-Con-
tinental Telegraph to communicate with
America at Bhering's Straits.
There is an hereditary dread in Western
Europe of being ''oveuuu by the hordes
of Russia" But the Russia of the pres
ent day is not the Barbaric power which
was feared century ago. The expansion
of a Government which governs well and
wisely is not matter for serious lamenta-
tiou, except by those dynastics which have
TO yield before it.

The Attempted DOugIas-BellF FU.
sion.

The scandalous attempt to unite the
Bell and Douglas parties, for the purpose
of preventing an election of President by
the people, and in the hope That the high
est office in the nation may be made the
object of barter and sale in Congress, the
Boston Irareler says in truth, does not
work well. There are supporters of MIR.
Bell, it pungeutly adds, "who refuse TO
countenance it, and there are supporters of
Mr.. Douglas who are equally obstinate in
their attachment to principles. 1t is the
work of few disappointed leaders, and
should not be allowed to reflect on the mas
ses of either party, who are honest men
and who wish well to their country. The
more this foul intrigue is examined, the
more knavish does it appear. The Dou-
glas party is essentially Romish party,
and is supported by all the influence and
power of the Church of Rome in America,
which are great. The Bell party is essen
TALLY anti Romish, in the Northern States,
many of its members justly believing that
Rome has too much strength in this coun,
try already, and ought firmly to be opLo
sed. The Douglas party supports "popu-
lar sovereignty" while the Bell patty pro-
fesses to he opposed TO that new-fangled
doctrine, which has been denounced by men
so emminent as Mr.. Bell, and Mr.. Everett,
Mr.. Fillmore, and Mr.. Crittenden. Mr.
Doug gias prides himselfon having led the
way in the work IN repeating the Missouri
C6ihPromise; but the Bell leaders have
condemned that work in decisive language,
hpd ihaye never recanted their condemna-
tion of it. How can coalition of such
men be effected! The success of such an
undertaking would prove that political prof
lgacy had reached to its utmost possible
height in this country at very early Pc
riod of its career, and that the people had
become rotten before they ripened. But
the evidences are daily multiplying that
the vigorous common sense of the people
revolts at the attempt of political huck-
sters TO buy and sell them, and that The
only effect of the movement that has been
made will be to increase the Republican
vote to immense proportions. And SC
will fusion end, intho grave of the fusion
ists."

Hon. VIM. Bebb, formerly Governor Of
Ohio, then for many years a resident of
Illinois, and row citizen of Tennessee, is
stumping the Eastern part of that State
for Bell and Everett. We believe the Ex-
Governor was Republican when residing
in Illinois, but bis politics he could not
carry with him to Tennessee as other prop
erty. In recent speech the Governor is
reported to have said that "if Lincoln
should be elected President, in the forma-
tion of his Cabinet, and in the selection of
Federal officers taken from the South, he
would look TO the Bell party, in the South
ern States for his material" While let
ting off this eloquent passage it could not
be possible that in the thoughts of the
Governor, District Attorneyship could
have been coupled with his unpretending
self? Such thing might be however.

XVIII DIsrRIcT.-The Douglas De-
mocracy have nominated R. H. Nugen for
Congress. Mr.. N. is Superintendent on
the Canal under Mr.. Backus, and accor-
ding TO the Coshocton Age, he has boast
ed that the legislature will be glad to sell
or lease the canals next year, for be twill
make them cost heap of money. The
Age says.
Col. Nugen is going to make the canals
''cost heap of money" this year; why
don't he go to work now? The work is
very much needed, boatmen are cursing
him, and shippers are damaged by him.
The work will not be commenced until
just before the October election, when Col.
Nugen expects to be candidate for Con-
gress, and then the canals will fairly swarm
with improved voters-killing two birds
with one stone-making the canals ''cost {.
heap of money" and voting for Col. NJ,
gen and the whole Democratic ticket
This is the result of the "magnanimity'
of the Republican members of the Board

An Affecting BaIIad..-Stephen
i'm Search of his mother.

The Republican glee Clubs in the East
ern States are singing the ballad of "Ste-
phen in search of his mother" Here is
couple of stanzas:
"At Concord his feelings were sadly affected
By incidents rare and quite unexpected.
A big Irish matron hugged him close as brother
While he. honest soul, thought he'd then found
his mother.
ITO Portland he fastened, being told by a
dream or
A wag, that she might be aboard the big steamer
But THE STATE W AS on FIRE. and for fear he should
smother,
He hurried away without finding his mother" :"

Why DOUGLAS is NOT TRUSTED NORTH

Why DOUGLAS is NOT TRUSTED NORTH.
Gov. Chase, in recent speech at Ypsi-
lanii, Michigan, explained the reason why
Mr.. Douglas had been rejected by the slave
holders. "He has done as much, said Mr..
Chase, "as any other man for the slave
power. But the southern men say 10 him
that he has ventured to differ with them
on one point, and they can't trust him any
longer. And the Douglas men are indig.
nant. After serving them 80 long, l should
be indignant, too, at being turned off at
last with such miserable wages. But Mr..
Douglas should remember that aohen the
servant questions the authority of his mas
ter and claims wages, he cannot be trusted
