Sumner aud I.incoln, and now peryades the
NortLcrn States like an unholy Pcslilcni cs-
scncc f,om the charmed house of its corrup-
liens, and threatens Ia inyolye the entire
country. The late elections In Pennsylya-
A. l.. In. l.x i.ia l. N -
shown the course Of events in those States
They have gone for the Republican nomi-
nccs. On the other hand, every State In
the South In which local or State elections
have been held, has gone for breckenridge
cn-h,,-arerwi,siminet iner""s"i ''ns3"s'
ties. Douglas men and BELL men are hardy
known in tho race. Comparing the elections
In these two sections VIC nrc led to INFER mat
the South will present an nnbroken front IN
Novembcr 10 the advancing lines of Ecpub-
,;,ons The South will be consolidated upon
breckenridge and Lane, and her strength
centralized upon those men who stand bold
~ aud uncquivocally upon platform OF
principles, recognizing the rights OF the
South ms guaranticd..to hereby the Consti'u-
tion. Southern men will centre their votes
upon these men.
We may consider Douglas as virtually
withdrawn from the field. Combined win
the Bellmen, the supporters OF Mr. Douglas
have not carried single State or district /;
alone, they have dwindlcd into the merest
fnctional minority. AS an evidence Of this,
NC mention the fact that eight or ten Dou-
clas electors have left his ticket in Virgin
Ia, since his bloody threat ut Nofolk 10 force
the South to submit to Iincolns aggressive
policy. In Alabama, his leading paper, the
Mobile Register, has hauled down his flag
from its mast cad,-knocking under ut dis
erection to the overwhelming conviction that
Douglas is out of the race. In Tennessee
his electors have proposed to withdraw their
ticket and sustain breckenridge. And last,
but not least, the greatest Douglas man or
them all, Forncy, OF the Press, gives up the
contest, and vents his indignation and ha-
tired into the vilest abuse of the President
and the Democratic party. In late issue
he uses these remarkable words, in speak
ing of the election of the Republican Curtin:
"Thcy have so consolidated the Southern
people around their candidate, Mr.. Brock
cnridgc, that We shall not be surprised, since
Col. Curtin's election, to see very large
majority-of the Southern people decide in
rnyor of that candidate"
Forney is far seeing politician, and feels
that the Republican triumphs at the North
pM consolidate the South upon the only
candidates who stand mcquivocally upon
platform that recognizes the South as an
Equal IN Constitutional Rights.
