A few Nuts for Douglas Democrats
10 Crack.


We would ask the especial atten-
ton OF those of our friends who have !
been induced to favor the election
of Douglas, TO the following para
graphs. They can see to what sort
Of entertainment they are invited
We don't believe that they can with
stand their fierce.
John Forsyth, the ablest of the
Southern supporters of Douglas, and
BY far the most sagacious Of them, in
a recent speech made in Philadelphia,
repealed the flea ofeomprsmise with
the friends of Mr.. Breckenridge,
and declared, amidst loud applause,
that the only party his associates
could compromise Nth was the John
Bell party. Here is bis exact Ian
|guage:
1.-The only compromise We can
make With them is. that they shall
lay down their arms, confess their
Sins, sit upon the Hool Of repentance,
and vote for Stephen A. Douglas.
(Great Applause-) If WE DO CON-
PROMISE, WE CANNOT COMPROMISE WITH
THE BRECKENRIDGE FACTION Oh THE
BLACK REpUBLICAN PARTY; BUT
THERE is A UNION PARTY
WE CAN COMPROMISE WITH.
AND THAT is THE BELL AND
EVERETT PARTY. They have
the same object in view we bavs--to
preserve this Government, and not
allow it to be sacrificed to the pas
sious and ambition Of misguided
men,"
The organ Of Douglasim in this
State published this, with editorial
comments headed, "Union between
the Douglas men and Everett men,"
