this he got the name of the quarter dollar

Watch mnn, What Of the Night!

We are opposed to holding out any
false hopes to our friends. We have care
fully watched the movement of parties
that we might be enabled to guess at the
result of the coming election. The Re.
publican party appears to DO disheartened' )
there is no fire or life in it. The nominee
is known to be man wholly inexperi
anced in craftsmanship. and very many
Of his party friends doubt his qualifica-
tions for the office. Those who expected
to humbug him through on rail find the
people will be controlled by no such folly.
His "Irrepressible Conflict" doctrine will
not 60 down with the conservative por-
tion Of the party. Then. tens of thou
sands Of those who have heretofore acted
with that party acknowledge the injustice

come from the people, neither will the
people fall in with it. Tho enthusiasm
for DOUGLAS comes from the men who
give the votes. The attendance and ex-
citement at the meetings has no parallel
in the history of political parties. Let
the time for meeting be mentioned and
the word flies like fire in dry stubble. 1t
requires no flaming handbils, no coax
ing, no drumming to get the friends of
DOUGLAS together; they como up almost
spontaneously, and that too to hear and
shout and feel good together. We con-
clude that from present appearances Doud-
LAS will carry New York, Pennsylvania
New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
Louisiana, Iowa. Wisconsin, Rhode Is

war or the Administrator.

Those Democrats who oppose Doud-
LAS and JOHNSON cry out against the
friends of these candidates for saying any
thing against the Administration. We
have never said anything against the Adj
mini.tyation; we council let-alone course
teward il: but, we arc free to confess that
the friends of the regular Democratic
Ticket have reason for denouncing the
powers that be. Let us see: Less than
one third of the delegates to the National
Convention seeded and took the rcspon-
sibility Of adopting platform and nom
mating candidates and the Administra-
ton endorsed their action instead Of that
Of the regular Convention. Men who
have steadily and faithfully sustained the
Administration from the 4th OF March
1857 have been denounced and abused.
and turned out of office because regarding
DOUGLAS and JOHNSON as the regular
nominees they felt it their duty to sup
port them. Government oliceholders
in Ohio, and few men who follow in
their wake, disregarding the regular Dem
ocratc State Convention have called q
State Convention to meet in Columbus on
the 4th of August to nominate ticket
and the Administration sustains it. OF
the five Democratic papers in Ohio but
one, the Stark County Democrat, hoists
the Democratic State ticket and the bolt
ing and disorganizing course of tho others
is sustained by the Administration. The
heads of Deputy Marshals, Post Masters,
and other officers are daily coming of
for no other reason than because they sup
port DOUGLAS, and it is the Administra.
ton that takes these heads off Govern
ment office holders in Ohio have threaten
ed to have county tickets run in ever,

Democratic nominees and elect Republi
cans and the Administration sustain
these men, and so we might 60 on to al
most any extent but this is enough to sat
isfy any reasonable man that the war OF
the Administration is not unprovoked.--
At present we feel like saying nothing
against the Administration, but we viii
be permitted to say that there may be {
time when forbearance may cease to be (

How IL IL!

Most ofthe few Democrats in Ohio who
support BRAcKiSRiDGE claim that there is
no regular nomination made We think,
and we have given reason for the faith
that is in us by stating the fact that the
National Democratic Convention was
composed of COG delegates. that after the
secession 425 remained and these nom
mated DoUoLAs. But, for the sake Of the
argument we will grant them the ground
they claim. and we will then ask them
whether DOUGLAS is not the choice of a
very large majority of the Democracy OF
Ohio? Whether BRAoKIsRlDaE has any
show for carrying Ohio against LINCOLN?
Whether it is not almost certain that with
q united party that DouaLAs will carry
the State? Whether they are not in ia
vor of DOUGLAS AZ against LlNcoLN?-
Whether they desire to aid LINCOLN in
carrying the State. to aid the Black Re-
publicans, in defeating the Dem ocratic
candidates for Congress, and the Demo
cratic candidates for county Offices in the
several counties and districts of the State,
by fighting the Democratic workers and
throwing their votes away on BREcKlN-

w hat Does il Mean!

1t is notorious fact that all over this
State the Republicans have been and are
now busy running around and raising
subscriptions to get up Breckenridge meet
ings. The Republican leaders of the
Northwest, headed by Wentworth, Of
Chicago, are advising the leaders of that
party TO aid in organizing a Breckenridge
party in every county in Illinois. The
Republican papers, throughout the North,
are filed with articles favoring the cause
of Breckenridge and Lane, and even ex-
Code Platform. .... .....
Coming nearer home we find the signs
indicating that the Republicans, of this
city, are abandoning Lincoln and Ham.
lin and turning over to the support of
Breckenridge and Lane. AT least. there
seems to be disposition on the part of
the Republican leaders hereabouts to swap
off "Oll Abe" for the handsome young
kcntuckian, if they can drive good bar
gain. The Republican head quarters
the old Theatre on State street the Wig
wam--consecrated with so much "pomp
and circumstance, to Lincoln and Free
Territory, has become almost. If not quite
deserted, and the Lincoln Wide Awakes'
appear to he fast asleep. The strip OF
muslin stretched across State street in
front of the wigwam, which promised
80, 900 votes in Ohio Cor Lincoln, has been
taken away, and the only Linccln pole
in the city has been deprived of its flag,
and no attempts, SO far as we can learn,
are making To- restore either the muslin
or the flag. The Stote Journak has Who'll
ly abandoned the support and defence OF
the Chicago nominations and platform,
and uses its columns to promote the in
interest OF the Secession ticket 1t pub
lished in yesterday mornings issue, Mr..
Breckenridge's letter of acceptance, and
stated that the Supreme Court had already
virtually decided in accordance with his
views. The journal thus admits that the
Slave Code policy has received the sane
ton of the highest judicial tribunal in the
land, 1t is, like other Republican papers
silent on the doctrine of Congressional in
tervention for the the prohibition of sla-
very in the Territories, and seems dspos-
ed to acquiesce in the view of the Slave
Codeites which, it claims as they do, has
heen settled by the authority of the Su,
pieme Court.
Almost all that is wanting to make the
journal good Breckenridge and Lane
organ, is to take the name of Lincoln and
llamlin from the head of its editorial
column. This, perhaps, it is ashamed to
DO. all of sudden. 1t may deem it
proper to wait while, and fight the Ma.
tlonal Democracy under disguise. 1t
hopes by dividing to conquer for either
/ Breckenridge or Lincoln--it cares little
which--so that it can defeat the candi-
date of the people-Stephen A. Douglas.
Bat this ruse of the Journal and its party
leaders will avail but little, as thousands
of honest Republicans, wnen they discov-
er that they are to be made the mere tools
to play into the hands of Southern fac
tion, will desert the Republican ranks.
and unite with the Democracy in sustain
ing popular rights and the great cham
nion of those riuhts -. .SI1tesmon
