z The Campaign in the Southern States.
Occasional" of the Philadelphia
Press, who is understood to be John
w. Forney, Douglas man, publishes
a careful review of the Presidential
prospects in the Southern States. He
gives Maryland, Virginia, North Car
DINA, Kentucky and Tennessee to Bell !;
South Carolina and Georgia to Brock
inridge; Missouri to Douglas; Ala
bama he puts down as doubtful Louis
lana he thinks can be carried by a
Douglas and Bell fusion, and in Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Texas he says
everything depends upon the union OF
the Douglas and Bell forces.
This gives FIVE States to Bell two to
Breckinridge, one to Douglas, one to
Douglas and Bell fusion, leaves one
doubtful and three depending on the
Douglas and Bell fusion, which is as
much as to say that if they do not
unite the States will be carried for
Breckenridge. This summing up by
one of the best posted men in the I'm
ion, it viii be seen, gives the sslittle
giant frightfully poor prospect.

t- OGIMA MINE, ,
oNroNAeoN County,, Sept. 81. 1860.
Our election on Tuesday last passed
off very quietly, and for fear the Free
Press may claim that the Democracy
achieved a great triumph, / drop you a
few lines concerning it. In the first
place, there was three hundred short OF
a full uote poHed in the county, OF
which | think at least two hundred
were Republicans. In the next place,
the tickets were so split up that ii was
impossible to get party vote, and per-
sonal popularity carried the day so
that neither party should claim the yie-
tory, but of the two, the Republicans
have the best reason to be satisfied with
the result.
The Democrats elected the Sheriff
j. Greenfield, bat he got more Repu5-
Hcan votes than he did Democratic, for
reasons that it would take too long to
enumerate, but one of which was that
certain ex-Hon. tried to get himself
defeated. Coulter, for the Senate, run
ahead OF Campbell on account of his
personal popularity and his being a
resident Of the county.
We elected our County Clerk and
Register, and our Judge of Probate.
am still satisfied that we shall car
ny the county by over one hundred and
fifty majority in November.

RKMEMBER IT.-When Senator
Trumbull proposed an amendment in
to the Nebraska bill, empowering the
people of Territory to exclude slave
~ through their Neutrality-suspicious.,
Mr.. Douglas voted against i'll!
| REMEMBER that Mr.. Douglas said in
his speech in the U. S. Senate the 10th
of last May, that his doctrine of non-
Intervention had converted free terri
tory five times as large as New York
into slave territory.
REMEMBER that Mr.. Douglas has
charged that the "Harper's Ferry crime
was the natural, logical and inevitable
result of the teaching of the Republi-
can party" and he therefore asked the
passage of a Sedition s'bill to put down
the irrepressible conflict" and to open
to the Republican leaders the prison
doors, that they might "select their
cells wherein to drag out their misera-
Bile lives" g sss y 2 8.

said in the U. S. Senate on the 23d of
February, 1859: "Ihold that no such
thing as sovereign poacer attaches to a
Territory aohi1ea Territory" aie
REMEMBER that when Senator Dav-
is asked Mr. Douglas whether if he
was President, and a bill should be pre-
sented for his signature, giving protec-
tion to slavery in the territories, he
would sign it? He refused to ansper.
p REMEMBER that Mr.. Douglas in a
speech in the q. S. Senate on the 2ad
of Feb, 1859, broadly asserted that
"Slaves, according to the bred Scott

From all we can learn, it is safe to
say that the Douglas meeting in Chi.
cago on Friday last, as political DEM

From the effort put forth by the pro-
slavery men, and from the amount of
money that they taxed themselves to
make the thing success, it was ex-
pscted on all hands that the gathering
would be one of at least respectable
size and impressiveness. But in spite
of the incessant and costly preparation,
in spite of. half fares, in spite of the CO.
operative labor Of the Leadership all the
rural districts within hundred and
fifty miles of Chicago, the crowd was not
there. The Press Dc Tribune says that
an accurate account of the cars re-
quired for the occasion, on all the roads
leading into the city, shows that much
less than half the number necessary to-
bring in the Republicans, on Tuesday
of last week, were used; and of the
passengers on these, full half as shown
by the repeated votes on the trains,,
were Lincoln men, who took advantage
