WILL ne WrHDRAw?-It is conceded
by all parties that Mr. Douglas stands not
the ghost Of chance Of an election. His
most ardent friends have no hope, even
with the assistance of the Know Nothings
Of the South, Of his getting single elec.
toral vote. Under such circumstances and
with such prospects, he ought to at once
withdraw and urge his friends to 60 for
Breckenridge. who is the only candidate
that can defeat Lincoln. The only effect
of Mr.. Douglas running is to aid Lincoln,
and he may thereby ensure the triumph
of Black Republicanism, while. by with
drawing, he can secure a signal Demo
cratic victory. No good Democrat would
hesitate to sacrifice his personal aggran-
dizement for the triumph of the princi.
pies Of his party. by running he divides
the Democratic vote, which should be
concentrated on one candidate, and creates
dissensions at a time when harmony is
essential for success.

Or CoURsE.-Cassius NJ. Clay, the Ken.
tucky AbolitiOnist, in a recent speech,
said-"n we had the power, we would a
thousand times rather place Douglas In
the Presidential chair than Breckenridge" D"
This is true, undoubtedly, and so say or
feel the mass Of the Black Republicans.
Nor is it strange. Agreeing in sentiment,
differing only in name. why should not
the Republicans prefer Douglas to Breck-
inridge They both profess to be bitter.
ly opposed to "slave code"-bi!terly
opposed to the Democratic party, why,
then, should they not fuse in order to de.
feat all Democratic candidates and bring
about the " rrepressible conhict''2 They
are both working for the accomplishment
Of the same objects-the humiliation Of
the South and the disruption Of the Dem
ocratic party-and tosucceed, they should
unite. The Republicans may deem fu-
sion unnecessary, for the reason that the
Douglasites are rushing into their ranks
in crowds. Take the leading Republicans
Of our county as an example-not one Of
them ever belonged to what is called the
"chivalry wing" Of the Democratic pAEty.

Douglasism, then, is the halfway house
on the road to Black Republicanisln, in
the estimation Of prominent Black Re-
publicans. This explains why the Doug

lican platform. In a short time they will
be standing upon it and advocating it
with more fervor than the Republicans Of
to-day. Democrats, be warned in time,

TIE persistent effort on the part of the
Douglasites and Black Republicans to
fasten the charge Of disunion on the De-
mocracy, by their assertion and dema.
gogical declaration, has been entirely un.
availing so far as this community is con-
cerned. All the old and cherished leaders
of the Democratic party, who have unre-
mittingly and successfully opposed all
iSms, are supporters of Breckenridge and
Lane. The Democratic masses will not

To OLD-LINE WnIGs.-Brar in mind
that Mr.. Lincoln was the first man in H..
linois who proposed to an organized body
of Wings to abandon Henry Clay and the
principles of the Wing party.
Bear in mind that when the Wing Ma.
tional Convention assembled in PhiladcI.
phia, in lsiS, Abraham Lincoln united IN
all tue schemes against Henry Clay, at
the same time basely protesting to be de-
votedly attached to him.
Dear in mind that he proposed to dis.
rupt the Wing party, and stated that
1.-The Wing party had fought long enough
for principle, and should change its motto
to success"
The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-09-19

A REAcT1oN.-Since the adjournment
of the different county conventions, re-
action has taken place in favor of Breck-
inridge and Lane. They are now much
stronger in the regard Of the people than
they were fortnight ago, and from this
time forward they will unquestionably
continue to increase in strength. The
excitement is over, and the people have
bad time to reflect, and reflection has con-
WINGED them that Breckenridge stands on
the true National Democratic platform,
and that he is the true exponent of time
hOnored Democratic principles.

THE Republicans are to be still further
weakened in New York by the sloughing
off Of the extreme Abolition element. The
ultra AbolitionistS intend runing a ticket
on their own hook. They estimate their
vote at fifteen thousand, all Of which went
for Fremont. The friends of Seward, the
most active and influential Republicans
in the State, disSusted at the defeat of
their favorite, are lukewarm and manifest
no interest in the result. The Tribune.
with far more zeal than discretion, omits
no opportunity to denounce them. The
fight between the two factions is daily
growing hotter, and promises to defeat
the Republican candidates.

of his lAwycring in Tennessee; his mar

The semi-weekly mountain Democrat., 1860-09-19

We had been in Illinois two years, did we
make the acquaintance Of Douglas. We
did not even live in his district We never
asked him for favor-never received one
from him. We admired and sustained
him so long as he adhered to the Princi-
pies Of the Democratic party when he
abandoned them we left him to travel his
weary pilgrimage in company with those
who prefer men to principle.
Mr.. CofFroths speech was a singular
one. 1t pleased all parties, and disgusted
all parties. Part Of It the Republicans
checred, part of it the DOuglasites, and
part Of it the Democrats. 1t was made
up Of inconsistencies and contradictions.
and calculated to elicit laughter, but n0th-
ing more substantial. 1t was neither
fish nor flesh, nor yet good red.herring."
We doubt il he will receive another invi-
