"LoAD FOR BREcKENRIDGE."- awk-
ward predicament of the Democratic office
holders and the press in deciding under
which candidate to serve, led 10 some ridic-
ulous hesitations and fence riding. Numer-

An occurrence in one of the interior
counties of New York ludicrously illus
trates the bewilderment into which the
double headed Presidential nomination has
thrown the Democracy. When the news
of the nomination of Douglas flashed
along the wires, village Postmaster sum-
moned "the unterrifed" to bring out the
gun and fire salute. They had got about
half through the allotted number of dis
charges, when messenger from the tele-
graph office informed them that the Sece-
ders had nominated Breckenridge. "The

Standing moment in brown study, he
shouted, "Boys! theirs no knowing into

No Alliance of the Democracy.

Miles Taylor, Chairman of the Douglas
National Democratic Committee, has is
sued from Washington manifesto declar-
ing that the reports disseminated from that
city to the effect that the friends Of Doug
las and johnson were engaged, in several
of the States, with the friends of Brecken-
ridge and Lane, in making arrangements
for the running of electoral tickets In diff
ferent States, to be supported by them
jointly in the approaching Presidential elec-
ton, with the understanding that the vote
of the electorals, elected by such combina-
ton, shall be given for Douglas and John
son, OR for Breckenridge and Lane, as sub
sequent events might require, to be with
out any foundation in fact. Mr.. Taylor,
of Louisiana, is an intelligent, honorable
gentlemen, and his statement is conclusive.
Mr.. Taylor further asserts that so far as
is known no member of the Douglas Ma
tional Committee has ever expressed a
wish for any such arrangement, or enter
tanned, for single moment, any suggestion
or proposition tending towards it. The
manifesto further says-"Nor does the
committee believe that any such arrange
ment can with propriety be made at any
time, in any place, or under any circum-
stances, with those-who have placed Breck-
enridge and Lane in nomination, and are
now their avowed supporters in opposition
to the regular nominees of the democratic
party"
This settles the mooted question. The
war is to go on to the bitter end, North
and South. Douglas Democrats will ten
der no olive branches and receive none.-
In closing, the manifesto says-"If the sece-
ders and their frineds choose to separate per-
rlanently from the Democratic party, and
run ticket in opposition to the regular
nominations, let them do so. Upon them
be the responsibility of the result" 1t is
entirely apparent that the Breckenridge
Democrats will not shrink the "resposibili-
ty. They also claim the Democratic natio-
nal organization, and mean 10 maintain it
for the future at all hazards. Let the war of
Democratic factions rage on. The country
will be benefited by it.-Leadsr.

More of the Barbarism of Slave.

The Leavenworth Herald, of July -
contains letter from Paris, Kansas, July
sth, giving an account of the murder of
Charles Doy and Henry Wolfe, by a band
of pro-slavery ruffians, who had trumped
up charge of horse stealing against their
victims. Doy, Wolfe and his son were
captured by party of nine armed men,
tried by lynch court and sentenced to
death. Young Doy and young Wolfe,
succeeded in making their escape, the latter
badly wounded. The old man was taken
out and shot, and his body left on the
prairie. Doy took refuge in the house Of
Wolfe. The lynchers discovered his hi
ding place, surrounded it procured a load
of hay, ferd it, and succeeded in dislodg-
ing him. He was captured again and i'm
mediately put TO death. This victim of
Pro-slavery hate was son of DR.. Chas.
Doy, formerly of Rochester, N. Y, and
who with his father, suffered the grcssest
indignities that their brutal captors could
invent in the Jail of Platte City, Mo. The
son was finally acquitted, and the father
was subsequently rescued by band of
Free State men from Lawrence. Doctor
Doy was lecturing at the East, the son re-
naming in Kansas to protect the family.

Why He did 1t.

Mr.. Hamline, of McDonough county, ILL.,,
has resigned his post as Chairman of the
Democratic Club and come out for Lin
coin. In his card he says; "Having re-
Gently read the speech of Judge Doug
las in the United States Senate, in which
he takes occasion to say in substance that
doctrine of non-intervention had given to
the States Stare territory .fUe times as
large an ertent as the State of NeW
York, whilst it had not given the North
an inch of territory, and remembering
that our Democratic leaders in this State
claimed four years ago that the results of
that doctrine would be in favor of freedom,
l am inclined TO believe that l have fol-
lowed the lead of Douglas about as long
as candid man should be required to do. )"

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

Mr.. Douglas is making an electioneering tour
for the Presidency through New England, and
appears to have entirely recovered from the i'll
ness and loss of voice which so conveniently
kept him from the Senate when important res
olutions and measures had to be voted on. He
is the stump candidate rather than the Demo-
cratic.

The Political Press of Ohio,

The State Journal has taken the pains to
classify and publish full list of all the politi-
cal papers in the lightweight counties of Ohio.
There are zig papers in the list, of which l26
are for Lincoln, so for Douglas, 8 for Brecken-
ridge, and for Bell. There are eighteen coun-
ties in which no democratic organ of either
wing is published, and % counties in which no
Douglas organ is published. The journal says
Twenty two of these papers are printed in
the German language, of which are for Lin
coin, the rest for Douglas. Eighteen of the pa
pers on the list are printed daily, of which ten
are for Lincoln, six for Douglas. one for Breck-
enridge, and one for Bell and Everett. We
learn that new Breckenridge daily is about to
be started at Cincinnati, and new German
Republican paper at Dayton, but neither has as
yet made its appearance"

resolutions against Squatter Sovereignty and IL

by Herschel v johnson, to Democratic State

not adopted, seeded with his followers from

The New York Lincoln Meeting.

The Tribune gives full report of the
proceedings of tie meeting in Union Square
the evening of the 10th, and editorially
remarks: r-a -
''The meeting last evening of men who
mainly in 1856 supported Millard Fillmore
and now support Abraham Lincoln, was
large and spirited. Many participated who
would have voted for Bell and Everett had
they been spuarely supported, with rea-
sonable prospect of success, but who re-
volt at the idea of being drawn after the
car of the head breaker of the Missouri
compromise, and thus thrust into the De-
mocratc ranks. Three-fourths of those in
our City who supported Mr.. Fillmore in
1856, utterly refuse 10 vote for Douglas; :;
most of them are already decidedly for
Lincoln, and the rest are coming along.

Great Growth of Denver CITY.

Denver City, in the Rocky Mountains, is
emulating the growth of San Francisco
when the gold mania hurried the multitude
TO the Pacific. "Crayon" thus writes from
Denver, June 10th:
The growth of this city and the devel-
opment of the whole Gold Region have
been so rapid as to quite bewilder one who
has been absent for six of seven months.
l left Denver City on the 10th of Novein-
last, and on arriving here few evenings
since, was hardly able to find a single fa-
miliar "landmark." The city (which is
now consolidated with Auraria and High
land) contains population of more than
four thousands and is unquestiouably i'm
proving with far great rapidity than any
other town in the Union. Many spacious
edifces are already completed, and many
imposing structures, both of wood and
stone, are in course of erection. A daily
newspaper is established, daily express lines
are in operation to all the principal mines,
heavy stocks of goods are arriving and
houses, are springing up like mushrooms In
all parts of the city,

A Touch OF OREGON THUNDER The
first State gun of the campaign since the
Presidential nominations comes booming
over the Rocky Mountains, and proclaims
the overthrow of the pro-slavery Democra-
cy in Oregon. The Democrats in that
State concede the election of Logan, Re
publican: as Representative to Congress,
by $50 majority. Mr.. Logan removed to
Oregon from Illinois, where he was form
erly a member of the Legislature, and he
is warm personal and political friend of
"Honest Old Abe"
The Democrats alsu concede the defeat
of Gen. Lane and Delazon Smith for the
Senate. The Legislature elect stands as
follows in respect to the contest for U. s.
Senators: Democrats in favor of Lane
and Smith, 16; Opposition Democrats
elected by Republicans and Anti-Lecomp-
ton fusion, 21 Republican elected by same
fusion, Is. This it is said will insure the
election of Col. E. D. Baker, Republican,
aud an Anti-Lecompton Democrat, to the
United States Senate in August, when the
Oregon Legislature meets
Col. Baker was formerly member of Con-
gress from Illinois, and removed to Califor-
mia, where he was beaten as Republican
candidate for Congress. He was the warm
friend of the murdered Broderick, and pro-
nounced the Grafton at his funeral. He
has been stumping Oregon with telling eff

The WAY THE DoueLAsIrEs EXPECTS TO CARRY
THE DAY.-The leaders of the DOUGLAS forlorn
hope, have resolved if they cannot get their own
man into the Presidency, that nobody else shall
occupy it. They even talk of resisting the in
auguration of LINCOLN or BRECKENRIDGE. This
would be fair illustration of DOUGLAS Popu-
lar Sovereignty, or, TO call things by their right
name, of Popular Rufianism. They broke up a
BRECKENRIDGE meeting at Louisville, Ky, few
evenings since, by the very worst exhibition Of
rowdyism, and attempted to break up one at
Philadelphia city, where Gen. LANE made a
speech. +t- tt esfE f

The Changes to LincOln-.-The
Ball Rolling!

Our exchanges from all quarters in the Free
States bring reports of accessions from other or
carnations to the Lincoln and Hamlin standard.
We will briefly record few of the prominent
ones.
Hon. G. Denniston, a leading member of the
American party in New York, addressed the
Republicans of Prattsburgh, Bath county a few
evenings ago. He was a member of the Legis-
1ature in 1856, and Vice President of the Amer
ican Council.
Otho Wilson, OF Green county, Ohio, who has
heretofore voted with the Democracy, an
nounces that he has dropped Douglas and sup
ports Lincoln On account of the Homestead
measure.
Mr.. Hoffman, formerly a stauneh Marion Co.
Democrat, now resident of Dayton. avows him.
self an enthusiastic supporter of Honest Old
Abe.
The Chicago Journal announces that c. Van
Wick. of Carter county, heretofore Douglas
man, j. 81. Watts, prominent Democratic law
yer of Randolph county, Judge W. P. Brown,
of Woodbury. county, all of Illinois have aban-
doned Douglas for Lincoln.
A. Bell, one of the most talented Democrats
of Cedar Co., J. d. Fletcher, of Oscaloosa, Mr..
Rust of Oregon, Geo. P. Hubbell of Davenport,
all of Iowa, and DR.. Charles Benson, of Vino
na, Minnesota, have taken leave of divided de-
mocracy and come out earnest supporters of
Lincoln. - -f. .tt
Frank II. Firman, of Madison, Wis, has re-
signed as Chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee of the county of Dane, and an
nounees his reasons for voting for Lincoln and
Hamlin. A. Menger, of Madison, an old line
German Democrat, has come out Republican.
Mr.. 7. L. Hainline, one of the wheel-horses
of the Democracy in McDonough county, Illi-
nois Chairman of the Democratic Club declares
he can follow Judge Douglas in his Slave Terri
tory policy no longer and that his vote shall go
into the ballot box this fall for "Hhoest Old
Abe
In 1856 the vote of Bellevue, Iowa. stood for
Fremont "A. Fillmore 81, Buchanan 81. A
thorough canvass just completed gives Lincoln
73 majority over all others.
The Pomeroy Telegraph says there is great
coming over to Lincoln in Meigs county, Ohio.
More than twenty Democrats in Pomeroy have
Joined the Lineuln standard, and in Orange and
Bedford townships the accessions number near
ly as many more.
These are specimens of the changes going on

past.

az The Hartford Times makes a loud appeal
for combination Of the Douglas men and the
Breckenridge men ia Connecticut 1t proposes
that the electoral ticket shall be equally divided,
three to each. Considering that of the late
Democratic party in that State at least FIVE
sixths are adherents of Douglas, this PROPOSE
tion would seem to be sufficiently cool even for
the present state of the thermometer. Howev-
er, we hope it will be adopted. The Republi-

do it again in November than not.

B-The Republicans are making a vigorous
canvass in Indiana. We see ten appointments
announced for Cassius NJ. Clay, extending from
the 10th to the 2Sth of July. Also list OF
appointments for Lane AMI Cumback. We are
pleased to see so vigorous an effort being made
TO redeem this benighted State.
Reliable information received at Washington
states that no Bell and Everett ticket Will be
run in Indiana. The whole opposition will con-
centrate their strength upon Mr.. Lincoln. in
stead of frittering it away by Improbable divis-
ions.
