The Richmond Enquirer on Douglass
I 7 /" Coercion" Threat.

We have only to say to Mr.. Douglas, that
when he undertakes to coerce, as MIR. Linz
coln's lieutenant, the sovereign States OF the
South, the gallows Of John Brown viii be re-
erected, and he may find himself pendant
therefrom.
John Brown began the coercing process
which Mr.. Douglas is to perfect under the
Presidency of Mr.. Lincoln, and the people OF
Virginia have not forgot their handlwork IN
his execution. This doctrine OF coercing SOW
ereign States, though old and familiar at the
North, is new and unaccustomed to the peo-
pie of the South. John Floyd, when uov-
ernor Of Virginia, caused General jackson 20
know that Virginia would not tolerate 4 ana
Mr.. Douglas will find his new role one OF no
little difficulty.
Mr.. Douglas has fully and fairly--ana we
must say, boldly and defantly y.-proclallneo !
his purpose. His own election ne sees 70 %
impossible; he knows he VIII not receive Inp Z
electoral vote of single state; ne mas stuLnPeu
New England and New YORK, not against the
nowerfui and dominant party IN those states
aea;r,st the Republican party he uttered no
..ascrd If objection, but against his late asso-
w. 49, Of the Democratic party he leyeled all
a. ;nvectiyes which disappointment and cha
sa;,, wy conld invent. He comes South to create
SS;,.;s;on and discord. to break up the unity OF
the South---her only hope against the aggres-
sions of the North. His speeches and candi-
dacy are help to Lincoln; and no is the most
efficient aid to Black Republicanism that they
could have selected.
The future Aid-de-C Camp Of Lincoln has de-
monstrated the wisdom of Governor Wises
remark, that Squatter Sovereignty is short
cut to Black Ropublicanism. - Rehmond En-

Desperate MEN REsoRr TO FALsEH

DESPERATE MEN RESORT TO FALsEHooD.-
One of the basest acts of the campaign is the
alteration of a passage in the speech of Mr..
Breckenridge, at Lexington, SO as to make him
appear to give up all hope Of election. The
part altered is that in which be speaks ofhis
contentment with his public position before
the nomination-that sentiment being ex-
pressed to show that he did not seek the no.
mination. This passage has been altered, Gas
forgers change bank bill from one denomina.
ton to another,) so as to make Mr.. Breckin
ridge say that he is ao1 content with "si1
years in the Senate" and expects Gnstead o
srpected, no more.
This vile forgery and wilful misrepresenta
ton originated with the Louisville journal
we belieye-the same paper which stated, ol
the authority, Of an impartial friend !" tha
there were only too thousand persous present
to hear the recent speech of Mr.. Breckinridgt
at Ashland.

!. DELAvAN MUssEY,

We are informed that these Wide-Awakes
derive their name from the company which
Ossawatomie John Brown headed in Kansas.
One of the most distinguished Generals in the
Mexican war, who has seen much of them,
believes them to be, as general thing, the
hest drilled in military tactics Of any company
that he ever saw outside of regular army.
What all this means we know not, but it is
high time that the South was united, and that,
too, upon some man who could not be claimed
as "a Southern man with Northern princi-
PIES" if there be such a man in the South.

BELL NOMINATED BY ABoLITIoNIsTs-Can
any honest and impartial enquirer after truth.
doubt the political eomplexionof of the Conven-
tion that nominated Bell and Everett. There
were certainly twenty-one Abolitionists in
that body, who made bold to declare their
sentiments in their votes. Thirteen votes
were cast for Mclean, Of Ohio, who was for a
long time, the favorite of the Black Republi.
can party, and who dissented from the Dred
Scott decision, by which the Union men now
profess to swear. Nine votes were given to Ed.
ward Bates, Of Missouri. man that eyerybo.

Republican nomination, and who is thorough

Southern Douglas Elector for Breck.
o inridge.

John G. Stokes, Douglas elector in the
Tuskegee (Ala.) District, has declared for
John c. Breckenridge. He says;
1t seems to me that the present is no time
for yielding one single iota Of our constitution
al rights, and whenever this Government fails
to carry out the principle of "eqaal burdens
and equal privileges" it is no longer entitled to
the patriotic loyalty of Southern hearts. The
bugle-blast of black hearted fanaticism has
been sounded by people of the North, and now
it behooves true hearted Southrons; men
whose motto is Liberty first and Union after
wards" to rally to the standard OF Southern
Equality"
The Democratic party have placed before
the people, for their sufrages, John C. Breck-
inridge and Joseph Lane, statesmen and pa.
triots, willing to do justice to Southern insti-
tutions content with us to rise or fall, and
shall therefore yield to them my most hearty
and most cordial support.

WELL PUT.-The HSptsville Democrat
quotes from Mr. Douglass first speech in
Chicago. in his Senatorial canvass with Lin
coin. the following paragraph: Az. 20
an other words, MR, LINCOLN ADvocATEs
BOLDLY AND CLEARLY S0ar Of sections, tcas
ofthe North against the South, Of free Statss
against the SIaUe States--d Soav Of erts1n''Ma-
tioa-to be continued rslentlessly, until the
one or the other shall be subdued, and All the
States shall either become free or slkse."
With this clear definition OF Mr.. LAncoins
doctrines and purposes as understood spo
expressed by Mr.. Dougiss himself two years
ago, the Democrat wants TO know why M.
Douglas should uplSld LiEsoln's admInistIa-
ton against the South, if the latter should de-
cline to be made party 10 this war OF sec

What They Used to Say.

Shortly after Mr.. Seward delivered his fam
GUS Rochester speech, in which was first an
nounced his "irrepressible conflict" doctrine,
the sNashville Banner and True Whig" (now
Bell organ used the following language
"He Senator Seward) no longer has the
shadow Of claim to nationality, and Ue do not
hesitate to declare that the election Of such man
to the Presidency a0ould be the instant signal
for dissolution Of the Union"
1--WE never indulge in the idle LUXURY of
making threats, but, we state it as a fact
which cannot be disputedsor denied, that the
Federal Union could not exist single day
after the election Of Vim. II. Seward to the
Presidency, while the above declaration is
unexplained and unretracted.''

NAPLES CAPTURED BY GARIBALDr- K-ctor
Emanuel Proclaimed King Of Haly.-Tne
telegraph announces that Naples, the capital
Of the Two Sicilies, has been triumphantly
entered by Garibaldi's forces, and that the
King Of Sardinia, Victor Emanuel, has been
proclaimed King of Italy. We learned by
the Europa's news that the Queen of Spain
had offered the King of Naples refuge in
Spain, which the latter accepted. Thus, in a
little better than two months, has the conquest
Of kingdom, with population of eleven
millions and formidable standing army, been
effected by handful Of troops, the force ori.
ginally landed in Sicily not exceeding, at the
outside, fourteen hundred men. No such fea'
! is recorded in the annals of history.
