A Loud Word to Douglas Men.


Douglas men even deaf as adhers, can
not but hear the loud talk of Forney in
the Philadelphia Press OF Oct. 10Th. The
Press says:
The returns Of yesterdays election in Z.
dicaie the election ofCol. Andrew George
! Curtin, as Governor OF Pennsylvania. bv
M unprecedented majority. Mr. Fosters
silence has assisted him, it would seem.
with no section Of The Democratic party.
The Vote has been unusually large, and
the de!ea singularly significant. The re-
turns speak in boider and stronger Saxon
than we can write.
Theie can now happily be TO more
baking Of the great question involved in
the Presidential struggle. The reasons
in favor OF combination against A abraham
Lincoln, however they may have OPP
prraled prIor to lie election decided yes
terday, and however they may operate
in advance o! that which is to be decided
on the first Tuesday OF November coming,
cannot be effective aOhen men come TO choose
JetWeea candidates, each Of aOhom represents
a principle antogoniStic to tie other.
Now. we take it there can be no mo e
union between BreckiEridge and Don las
than between two naturally repulSive
forces. Each represents a DIS inclivc
platform. No advocate OF Mr. Douglas
believes, or affects TO believe, in the doc
rrine upon which Major Breckenridge
stands, and no advocate Of Major Breck
inridge believes or affects to believe, in
the doctrine upon which Mr.. Douglas
stands. The Southern friends Of Breck-
inridge, more frank than the most OF the
| rDi"nds nf Dom, las u. clare. AS Ii general
hing. that under no circumstances will
they ever accept either the candidate or
the creed upon which the regular Democ-
racy stand. 10 the language of Senator
Benz ,min, of Louisiana, in his last great
speech, they would not accept vic ory if
their platform was 10 be constructed in
one way ir the North, and in another way
in the South. They believe that he in
slitution of slavery is carried 5v the Con.
stitulion o. the United States into the Ter.
ritories of the Union, and that It must Ge
protected there ogainstMe popular wiN, and
rather than yield this principle, CT submit;
to the election of q Northern man 10 the
Presidency OF the Uni ed States, like
Abraham Lincoln, the most Of them would
be willing 10 justly preparation for Sc
cession from the Union. They have
made the issue. Standing upon this idea,
hey have so consolidated the Southern
people around their candidate, Mr.. Breck-
inridge, that we shall not be surprised,
since Colenel Curlin's election, to see a
very large ma jority Of the Southern peo-
Pile decide in favor Of thai Candidate
They are sensible OF this great advantage /;
and while in the Southern States they re-
j"cl with disdain all coalitions with Mr..
Bell, whom they regard as traitor to
Southern institutions, and trample upon
Mr.. Douglas as mr. enemy equally hostile
TO them with NJ. Seward himself, they
are, with condescending sagacily, partic-
ularly willing TO unite with the friends OF
Bell and Douglas IN the free Stotes to
carry electors against Lincoln, because
they know that in such combination they
will be able to gain something, which will
be added to the controlling aggregate OF
their triumphant electoral vote in the
South
EVERY FUSION IN THE FREE
STATES. THEREFORE, is INTENDED
TO PROMOTE THE ELECTION OF
JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE TO THE
PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED
STATES.
The friends OF Mr.. Douglas, rather than
see themselves used as instruments in
favor OF extreme Southern Disunionsm,
will now leave the responsibility of the
coming result to those who, while protest
ing that the election of Abraham Lincoln
must lead 10 dissolution OF the Union,
s!ubbornly refused to sustain and support
The only candidate before the American
people who could have prevented the
election OF Mr.. Lincoln.
