Editors Of the Union and american:
The Democracy of Maury have just held a large
and enthusiastic meeting approving the action of
their delegates at Baltimore and ratfying the NOM
nation of BREcK1SRIDGE and LANE. The following
resolutions was adopted without dissenting voice
"ReSolUed That the Democracy of Maury county
cordially endorse the action of their delegates to the
late Baltimore Convention; that we approve the
platform adopted by them, as just and accurate
statement of the principles of action which have
guided our party to victory in the past, and upon
which alone there is promise of honorable victory
in the future; tiat in JoHN c. BRECKENRIDGE of
Kentucky. and JOSEPH LANE, of Oregon. the chosen
leaders of our party, We recognise that great abl

that unwavering devotion to the Constitution which
should ever characterize the leaders Of a party
whose history in the past is The history OF our
Union, and upon whose future in veal OF woe,
hangs the safety of the Republic. That we pledge
them a support becoming their great worth and the
noble cause in which they are engaged"
The meeting was addressed by WV. J. SYKES, 7. G.
DrxMxGrox and GEO. CAN'T. 1 am gratifed to say
to you that there is no division of sentiment with the
Democracy of Maury and that they ratify the noni

STATES SIRE FOR DouGI

STATES SURE FOR DOUGLAS
We look around in vain for single one. Illinois
might be considered SUCH it not that Republi-
can candidate for the Presidency is also an nnoian
ana consequently, State pride will operate as much
against DouGLAs in that State as for him. AT the
last general election in Illinois (s5s) the Repubi
can majority the DOUGLAS candidate IN the
at large was 1921. At tho same time there were
SOL votes given for an Anti-DoUGLAs DEM candi-
date but these cannot safely be counted for DoUGAs
now. STILL it is quite possible that Illinois may give
its Electoral vote for him next November; and the
same may be said of Iowa and several other States
But there is not one State in the whole Union that
can be pronounced certain for him, in the same
sense that large number of States are certain for
BREcKNRTDGE.
ELECTION BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Now suppose that no candidate should have ANA
iorty of all the Electoral votes (Which is very like
ly to be the case under existing circumstances and
the choice should devove upon the House of Repre-
sentatives how would the case stand then! Not
any better for DOUGLAS than before. Indeed it is
not certain that he would be of the three high
est candidates and in such case his name could
not even come before the House. In how many
States has DOUGLAS better chance for Electoral
votes than BELL has in Maryland, Delaware and
Louisiana? But suppose we get his name into the
House as one of the three highest candidates how
will the House vote Each State, it must be remem-
bered, would then vote as a unit and small State
would count as much as large one. As the MEM
bers of Congress are already elected upon whom the
choice of President would devolve in the sup

young men were all for hun. Breckenridge was an
electric individual and man of destiny. Douglas
had no strength except in about ten counties In the
great majority of counties, Douglas man would
be hunted out as if he were wolf or niger thief

As significant indication that onr confidence IS
not unwafranted, and that the popular tide, as

Only two of the Opposition papers in Pennsylva-

Total States .

Total States. -.-..''0o
As we said before there can be butthree candidates
voted for by the House, and these will unquestion
ably be BRECKIxRIDGE, LINCOLN, and either DOUGLAS
or BELL A majority % of all the States are ne
cessary to a choice. The Republicans lack two of
the necessary number, and can get no more All
the four tied States and also Tennessee would be
given to BRECKENRIDGE, in case it should become ne
cessary, to prevent the election of LINCOLN. This
would make up the number "a necessary TO elect
him (BREcKIxRIDGE) without including Illinois.
So it appears that DOUGLAS chance in the House,
as compared with BREcKISRIDGE, is no better than
in the Electoral Colleges.
And yet the DOUGLAS papers about the country are
as exacting in favor of their candidate, and as de-
mandatory against those who refuse fling up their
hats for him. as if his nomination had been regular
and complete according to the usages of the Demo
cratic party if there were any chances OF ms
being elected withoutsome different arrangement Of
parties from the present
Should neither the Electoral Colleges nor the
House of Representatives be able TO elect Presi-
dent and should no Vice President be chosen by the
Electoral Colleges, then from the two candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of Electoral votes for
Vice President, say HANLTN and LANE, the Senate
which is Democratic, must elect one, and that one,
being thus elected Vice President, would become
the acting President of the United States, "as in
case of the DEATH or other constitutional disability
of the President" Of course, LANE would be the
man.
From this it will be tlst the struggle between
DOUGLAS and BELL will not be to which will get
more Electoral votes than BRECKENRIDGE or LINCOLN
but which will get votes enough to get into the House
of Representatives in the event of failure to elect
by the people Hence the exceeding anxiety Of the
Ignorers to get up DoUGbAs ticket in Tennessee I;
not with the hope of beReftting Mr.. DOUGLAS but
for the purpose of drawing of enough votes from
BRECKENRIDGE to give the State to Mr. BILL and thus
help Mr. BELL to beat Mr.. DOUGLAS in the Electoral
College. If Mr. BELL can do this he gets himself
into the House Of Representatives, and slams the
door IN the face of Mr. DOUGLAs. 1t certainly would
be the policy of those friends of Mr.. DoreIAS in
Tennessee who desire him to take the chances OF
the struggle in the House, to help the Democracy
rive the vote of the State to Mr.. BREcKNRDEGE and
thus play the game on Mr. BELL which he is trying
to NAV on Mr. DOUGLASS to wit Keep him out of the
House 0f Representatives.
