CANNoN.-Mr. Cannon is man whom we
like personally and whom we respect and
we regret that he permitted his name to be
used in the Secession Convention which met
at the Court House. on Thursday. We did
not expect him to be with the regular ma
tional organization, because we were aware
that his mind had taken a wrong turn on the
split at Charleston and Baltimore. but wedid
think that lie would be more cautious about
throwing himself into the power of certain
men who haunt the Court House. If we are
rightly Informed, and we believe we are. Mr
Cannon was urged to come out as candi-
date, and promised the support, the "coydiai
support ofmen who had it in their capacity
to nominate him for the legislature. He re-
fused to pledge himself in a certain way. and
the result was that the cordial supDor was
not forthcoming, and Mr.. Cannon was badly
badly defeated.
We learn that Mr. Cannon is resolved to
stand it. but whether his friends will bear
with it or not remains to be seen.
The idea of dragging man out as a eandi
date, against his will, in order to humiliate
and insult him with vote of oaEy 6t1ee,
delegates out Of ninety odd, is what does not
generally set well on the stomachs of his
friends, at least. Good faith ought always
10 be observed in matters Of this character

For Whom are They.

The public are aware that resolution en-
dorsng John B. Weller, and insructing the
candidates for the legislature, if elected, TO
go for him for United States Senator, was
voted down in the Disorganizers' County
Convention held in this city, on Thursday
Several Of the members of that Convention
Represented themselves to be strong Weller
men, but not one of them, so far as we could
see, except the mover Of the resolution, was
in favor of his endorsement by that Conven-
tion. Now, what does all this mean Why
refuse to endorse Weller, if he is the choice
of the Breckenridge party of this section?
This same crowd endorsed him by formal
resolution, at the time that Latham was elec
ted Senator, and ifit was not improper, as a
question Of party delicacy, to do it then, it
certainly cannot be SO now. Col. Hatch, in
opposing the resolution, said that it was evil
IDENTIFY aimed at Gwia. He was right there.
The resolution was aimed at Gwin, and, in
voting it down, the Convention helped G win
that much. 1t is little singular, toe. in this
connection, to SEQ former warm supporter
of Weller, not only opposing resolution en-
dorsing him but actually denouncing him for
his reported sentiments in public speech.
When men abandon public aspirants, for
whom they have formerly done service they
can easily find some excuse. Col. Hatch's
excuse is, if we understood him,-and we do
not intend to misrepresent him-that John B.
Weller declared that, in certain continpen-
cy, he would have supported Stephen A.
Douglas. The idea Of such an excuse as that.
from the member of ia squad who always.
and whose organ always, declared full de
termination to support Judge Douglas, if he
should be (as he is) the regular nominee of
the Democratic party But the excuse does
not signify. 1t is sufficient that the former
friends of Weller drop him. We ask again.
what does it mean? What did Kungle, one
OF their nominees for the Assembly. mean
when he said, on accepting the nomination.
that he had formerly voted for John B. We'll
Ter, under instructions from his party. but
that now he was perfectly at liberty to vote
for any man for United States Senator that he
liked and that he should exercise the priyi
lege, if elected? :? lie did not say once. we
believe, that he was going to vote for John
b. Weller :! No candidate present. if we re-
member rightly, expressed any such deter
mination. Willany reasonable man say that
the defeat of that Weller resolution was not
a gain for Gwin ? We think rot.

Record Of u Doushfac-.

On the 23rd OF October, 1s49, in
q speech delivered at Springfield,
Illinois. Judge Douglas, speaking Of
New Mexico, said: IS ~
"By the universal acknowledge
ment Of ell intelligent men, the whole
country New Mexico) was then
iree-free by law--free in fact. It
was free by the fundamental law Of
the land--by the Constitution Of the
Republic OF Mexico--by the laws
passed in pursuance thereof; which
laws we're then in force and must
forever remain valid under the treaty
of peace according to the laws OF
nations and the decisions Of the Su.
preme Court OF the United States
until iepeale by competent author
ity. As question OF policy, there
fore, on the part Of those who de.
sired to prevent the extension ol
slavery, non-interference was the
.rne doctrine.
Now, it has been the repeated tale
Of the Democracy that no free terri
tory ever became slave territory
And one would suppose from the
above quoted speech OF Doug glas th q,
New Mexico was tolerably free in
lS49. Free by the acknowledgment,
OF all intelligent men; Tree in fact;
free by law; free by the Constitution
of Mexico and by the laws there
under. Well, let US zee what I
wonderful change my great prin
ciple" has brought about since 1s49
Hear Judge Douglas, in his speecl
in the Senate on the 18th Of May
1860:
at is a part OF the history Of the
country that under this doctrine o
non Intervention, this doctrine tina
you delight to call squstter sove
reignty, the people of New Mexico
have introduced and protected slave
ry in the whole Of that territory
Under this doctrine they have con
verted tract of free territory int,
slave territory, more than FIVE timel
the size Of New York. Under thi
doctrine slavery has been extended
from the Rio Grando TO the Gulf o
California, and from the line of tn
Republic Of Mexico, not only up {
36 degrees 80 minutes. but up to 3
degrees. Giving you a degree an
a half more slave territory than yo
ever claimed"

The German Farewell.


Everybody who knows anything
of the working Of politics expected
that the shameless dicker at Syra-
cuse would sooner or later drive the
foreign vote away from the Douglas
ticket. We chronicled on Saturday
the withdrawal of Mr.. Ottendorfer
from the number ofthe electors. and
to-day we translate from the Stats
Zejtwng his comments upon the
whole affair. He says:
Although the ticket which the
Democrats are now called upon to
support is the same in external form
as that nominated by the represent.
atives OF the Democratic party in
the State Conve ntion, yet its object
and aim have been completely
changed by the State Committee
The ticket nominated by the State
Convention was Democratic. That
now recommended to our support
by tbs Statc Comrnltteo 10 a fusion
ticket; and whoever votes for The ten
Union men upon it, must do 30 in
the expectation that il elected, they
will cast their sufftrages for Bell and
Everett.
Tho obligations implied in the
resolutions of the State Convention
hy which these gentlemen were
supposed to have been pledged to
vote for Douglas aud johnson, 30
long as they remained the candi-
dates oil the Democratic party, are
now no longer blinded, as they are
not asked to accept their appoint
ment. and have only been advised
Of it by newspaper articles, of which
they need take no notice.
We believe all the heavy sacrifi
ces made by the Democracy for the
security OF this object "a union oi
tho anti Ropublicans) will not ac-
complish the desired result. and
therefore, that the entire proceedings
are a grave mistake. We believe
this, not because we regard the
interests of the party as higher than
those Of the country, but because
we are convinced that union Of nj
the conservative elements, cmbOdy
ing that confidence which results il
victory, was cnly possible under tn,
banner OF the Democracy; because
while We look upon party organiza
tons rs mere instrument for carry
ing ont principles, yet this instru
ment becomes, through fusion, un
available for such purposes,
1tnow becomes the duty Of Demo
Gratis who are convinced OF the trut
of their principles. and who inten
to preserve In future the party oil
ganization, 10 oppose the demora
izing Influences OF this fusion move
ment, and to prove that they inten
to sustain the party pure and nm
tainted
Mr.. Oltendnrfcr does not tell hi
readers in what way this is to b
done. One thing, however, is Get
tain. They cannot, in consistenc
with his views, support the Syracus
ticket. Will they. then, turn owe
to Breckinridge? But, IN Ne,
Jersey, the Breckinriigers hav

which they condemn in this state. =

ILLINOIS No well-informed pol.
itician doubts that Lincoln will

The stupid story going the rounds

ans are doing everything they honor
ably can do to swell the majority tor
Lincoln to tho highest possible 6g-
ures. In no state of the Union,
probably. has the work been more
thoroughly done than in lllinois,

Death Blow TO Fusion in New York.
James T. Brady, the Breckenridge
candidate for Governor in New
York, made a speech at Albany on
the 25th instant. After thanking
his friends for their serenade of him.
he entered on the snhject Of the po-
litical canvass, declaring that the
time for fusion was past, and pro-
claiming war to the knife against
the Douglas Democracy.
He declared it his belief, that il,
through the division Of the Demo-
cratic party, Mr.. Lincoln shout. be
elected, Mr.. Seward would be his
Secretary Of State, and Mr.. Evarts
would succeed Mr. Seward in the
Senate Of the United States, in
which event, the Republican party
being in the ascendant, wonld claim
to be the only national party. He
said that after this contest Stephen
A. Douglas would not be heard OF
again, and that he (Douglas) was
now only active as An aid to the
Republicans.

Democratic State Committees, de-
claring that the responsibility OF the

what camp they are being smnggled
