seem to be very we'll received by the lead
ers of The fraternity, and they deny that The
"Wide-Awakes" are q secret order. We
expected they would. Just so did the Know
Noihings in former years. They denied the
very existence of such an order, and even
ministers who had Joined it, asserted most
roundIy that they never had, and for long
time many believed these denials, and that
the charge that such en- order had an exist,
ence was utterly unfounded; but at length
the thing was shown mp in all its deformity,
and was, to all outward appearances, oban'
doned. We have no idea that the rank and
file of those who go bowling through the
streets presenting the powerful Republican
a-gumelts against the capacity Of the peo'
pie for self government are in the secrets ol
the concern. Only those who stood by the
old proscriptive order in its darkest days are
permitted to look behind the scenes and fn'
ger the wires. They have learned from ex
perience that the more holes there are in th'
skinner the more lesky will the concerr
prove, and that it will not do to admit to'
many into the secrets OF the institution
But wait little longer and we will see wha

Friday and Saturday of lost week. and NOM
mated a stroight out Douglas electoral tick

the Administration, reOffifming the Balti-

At the same time the boilers held their

modelled the electoral ticket by placing the
names of Senators Hunter and Mason, Ex-
Governor Wise, and Messrs. Smith and
Russell on it as electors-and passing Sc
ries of resolutions, among which was one
endorsing the Yancey doctrine on slavery,
and another repudiating the Pacific Rail

Brcckinridge and the Presidency

A report is current that in letter TO par
ties in New York, Mr.. Breckenridge has
called consultation of his friends TO decide
upon the proprieiy of his withdrawal as
candidate. The prospect Of his withdrawal
occasions CONSERVATION among Republicans
who deprecate it as most probably fatal to
Lincoln. The leading New York politl
ciuns mentioned above approve the conduct
of Mr.. Breckinridge as highly magnanmous
and urge his withdrawal.
The result of the recent elections in Ar
kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri have had
wonderful effect towards bringing abou
some accommodation OF matters among anti
Republicans. The powerful Union senti
ment manifested in these results shows tn
Seeessionists that they are weaker than the
anticipated, even in the extreme Souther
States.
