equivalent to an election" That is good.
That douglas is the most popular man
of our day and generation, is good, too.
That he is national candidate" and
stands on a ''nationaf' platform, is decid-
edly good That he will ''be enthusias-
tically supported by, and viii carry the
Sowth,' is rather better. And that the
great central States of New York, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, will give him large
and heavy majorities, " is better still
But that the Enquirer should call Breck-
inridge--its own chosen Vice President
and the great body of the party with
which it has co-operated, 'disuesonisfS,
is the best of all. We have been heart
lily abused for making the same charge
against the same party but we did not
expect to have the Enquirer for wit
moss to the truth Of our assertion, so
soon. Douglas, then, is to be President,
too, and we are to be blessed with four
of them
And that Douglas stands as 'God'
among men, is evident from the classical
allusion of this Sunday Enquirer, which
says, in comparing Lincoln and him to-
gether:
But in ability he (Lincoln) no more
compares aoith Mr, Dougzas than a Saty''
to a Hyperion. -
Now, to see the beauty and
good taste of this comparison, we
have looked - into "the classics
for the meaning of these terms, and find
that ''satyr," to which Lincoln is COM
pared, is "Monkey," and, "in Mythol-
ogy, represents monster, part man and
part goat, usually found in the. train
of Bacehus and distinguished for lacivi-
BUSINESS and riet' Such is Abraham
Lincoln! While "Hyperion," the coun-
terpart of Douglas, is "a name of Apollo,
the God of day who was distinguished
for his beauty and all other good and
great qualities. Such is the Enquirer's
candidate. And won't the good time"
have come, when this immortal Cod
& Hyperion " Apollo - Douglas-is
made President +? But what, on the
contrary, would be our fate, if the 'Satyr'
The :'u.onhey," the '.goat monster" Lin
,oln, should prevail? Surely, nothing
out the brilliant prospects of Douglas
election can save the Enquirer and its
friends from committing suicide under ap-
of the horrible contingency.

Dem acratic Argument.

Jul "tAS M
We believe we have not seen a Demo
cratic paper for the last two weeks
which had not in it the following article
in reference to Hamlin, the Republican
candidate for Vice President. One pa
per, at least, seems to keep it standing
matter for it is in it's two last Issues
The article is in these words:
"Though Senator in Congress, he is
said to be a free negro. In all the ac-
quirements Of mind, manners, morals,
features, complexion, form Of body and
limbs, shape Of mouth and nose, woolly
hair, with kinks, he so much resembles a
negro, that dressed up indifferently, he
could be sold in the South for a field hand
He claims to be part Portuguese; but the
sober truth is, his blood is that of Mig
gergee, resembling a free negro more
than any man living who claims to be a
white man, either in whole or in part. :"
That looks nice, and is strong argu-
ment, is it not. But how did it happen
that in all the years that the Democratic
party looked up to Mr.. Hamlin as one
of their brightest ornaments, they over
looked the fact that he was a ''negro?"
Was he negro when the Democracy
sent him to the United States Senate?-
And was he negro when the Democratic
Senate made him chairman Of the most
important committee of that grave body
and kept him there year after year until
the Lecompton outrages of the Admins
tration drove him into the ranks of the
Republicans? Shame! What must be
the estimate these editors place upon the
intelligence and manhood of their read
ers? "Lincoln is monkey, and Ham
lin niger" So say the organs of
Democracy, Do their readers sympa-
thize with them? For the honor of hu-
man nature we will not believe it,

votes, if they can get them, and if not,
then by force, or they will overturn the
Government and blot out the Constitu-
ton. Gradually, but surely, these bad,
ambitious men are training their followers
for deeds Of desperation. The public
ear is becoming familiarized with these
threats, and with all the subtitle craft of
accomplished denagogues, the unreason-
ing passions of the ignorant aud preju-
diced are famed into fanaticism by the
constant repetition Of the grossest false
hoods and infammatory appeals to the
lowest and worst of human passions.
This picture is not pleasant one, and
the future of our country is somewhat
shaded to the vision Of the honest citi-
zen. But we believe the dead point of
Danger may be passed in safety, if those
who really love their country will be
true to their conscientious convictions in
the coming campaign. If such man
Hesitation Of the popular will is given at
the ballot-box, as the exigency of the
time demands, these Catalines will be
awed into submission, and our republi-
can form of Government, with the rights
and liberties of the people maintained
And we look upon the fierce rivalry
and deadly hatred to each other, of the
various factions opposed to the Repub-
lican party, as Presidential, and a
prophecy of coming good A high
authority declares, that "God will make
the wrath Of man to praise Him, and the
remainder ofwrath He will restrain" We
accept the promise, and in the faith of
its application to, and fulfllment in, the
present conflict Of passion against princi-
pie in our own country and time, can
look upon the storm unmoved. Neither
of these factions, alone, is strong enough
to carry out the mad schemes of its am
bilious leaders And the ranking and
unappeasable hatred which they bear to
each other will prevent union, for they
dare not trust each other. Thus will
their impotent wrath be made to mani
fest the overruling power Of a Providence
which superintends the affairs of nations,
while the fear of each other will act as
an efectual restraint upon all.
Then, let all good men, with firm
determination to maintain the right, do
their duty conscientiously, leaving the
consequences to that same Providence,
and all fears of a dissolution Of the
Union may be at once dismissed. If
Lincoln is defeated the Republicans aoill
not lay sacriligious hands upon
the beautiful fabric our fathers reared,
and if he is elected, the defeated fac
tions dare not do So.

PROGRE SIS.

In 1856, only four years ago, there
was not a single Republican paper in
the Slave States. One IN Kentucky was
established soon after, but it was de-
stroyed by mob, about a year ago
Now, there are quite a number. In
Missouri there are eight-among them
the Missouri Democrat, the ablest and
most influential journal in that State. 1t
has always been Democratic journal, of
the Benton school Of politics, but is now
an ardent Republican sheet, supporting
Lincoln and Hamlin with great power.
A number Of the others arc German pa
pers, of large circulation and great infu~
ence; several of them formerly support
ing the Democratic party. 80
Three of the oldest and ablest papers
in Delaware have hoisted the Republican
flag, and with Lincoln and Hamlin at the
head of their columns, are doing good
service IN the cause. So, too, in Vir-
ginia. The Wheeling Gazette, by far the
most influential journal in the Western
division Of that State, has come out
squarely on the Republican platform,
and supports the Republican ticket
There are others, whose names and To-
calities we do not now remember. The
existence of these papers in the home Of
Slavery shows that public sentiment
in favor of freedom and Republicanism
is becoming too strong for the mob, in
several localities. If not DESTROYED
during this campaign, we shall consider
the contest for the freedom OF, the press
virtually won, in the sections of the sew
eral States in which they are located; and
with the right of free press secured,
the success of the Republican party fol-
lows, as necessary consequence. The
Republicans Of those States have, as they
deserve, the sympathies of their breth-
rem elsewhere, and we trust they will go
to the polls and vote, wherever their
lives will not be endangered by so doing.

FITZPATRICK WON'T STAND 1T.


In our last issue we announced the
nomination of Douglas and Fitzpatrick,
for President, and Vice President, by the
Douglas faction Of the disrupted Demo
cratic Convention. 1t was matter of
amazement how the Douglasites came. to
nominate Fitzpatrick on the same ticket
with the Illinois Senator 1t was known
that he was Lecomptonite Of the firm
est kind-that he was bitter opponent
of Douglas "Squatter Sovereignty"
humbug-that he voted to ''degrade"
Douglas himself from the Craftsmanship
Of the Committee on Territories-that he
had just voted with the Democrats gen
orally, in the Senate, for Jeff. Davis
Slave Code resolution, and was in all re-
spects one of the Southern slave extern
sionists. Yet, in the face fall this. and
in the face of the world, this Squatter
Sovereignty faction, nominated the Ala
bama-Lecompton Slave Code-fre-
eater! The game was to play the same
doublefaced swindle over again Doug
las and squatter sovereignty, in the
North, and Fitzpatrick and Congress
ional Slave Code, in the South In this
way it was hoped to carry the slave
holding states for the ticket, on the
strength of its ultra pro-slavery candi-
date, and swindle one or two Northern
States into its support, on the opposite
dodge.
With this audacious attempt at deceiv-
ing the honest voters Of the party in the
Free States, the leaders racked their
brains for terms of eulogy in praise of
Fitzpatrick. According to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer and other Democratic or
gans in Ohio, he was the greatest states
man and purest patriot in the Union,
and one on whom the squatters could
concentrate with unbounded enthusiasm.
But scarcely had their shouts of rejoic-
ing died away, before the stunning
blow was brought to them, that this i'm
maculate Fitzpatrick ''repudiated the
conspiracy, and with contempt refused
to have his name associated with that of
Douglas, in any such scheme of double
refined deception and fraud upon the
people. He refused the nomination, and
so split the ticket, as the convention
which made it had been split before This
was terrible blow to the leaders. They
had indorsed the patriotism and Democra-
cy of Fitzpatrick, by an unanimous nom
ination and extravigant praise, and he,
inreturn, denounces them as an unprinci-
pied and dangerous faction, with whom
he dfsdains to have his name associated
This blow strikes out the last hope of
even respectable vote for Douglas.-
So far from there being any possibility
of his election, there remains scarcely
a chance of his receiving single electo-
raj vote in the Union. Such fall of
lofty ambition has never before been
witnessed in the politics of this country.
1t ought to be lesson to teach even poll
ticians, that, in the long run, "honesty
is the best policy"

HOW THE DEMO"RATIC TICKETS
e. .---- ARE ERECIEVEO.

From the present indications Douglas
will scarcely be supported at all in the
States heretofore Democratic. The
leading Democratic papers of Virginia
have hoisted the names of Breckenridge
and Lane, and Douglas will hardly get
votes enough to give the State to Bel
and Everett. There will be an interest
ing contest in the Old Dominion, never
theless. Last fall, at the election for
Governor, the Democrats, after long
and severe campaign, carried the State
against the "Opposition" by less than
six thousand majority. There is no rea
son to believe that Bell will not receive
the entire vote given to Goggin, the
Whig and American, or "Opposition
candidate for Governor. And if Douglas
can secure from six to ten thousand votes
In November next, it will give the State
to Bell and Everett; and if, as his friends
claim, he can divide the Democratic vote
with Breckinridge, the triumph of Bell
is certain in that State.
In Kentucky it is said there is but a
single paper which will support Douglas
If this be true, Breekinridge will carry
that State. But should Douglas get
any respectable number of votes in Ken
tueky, it will insure that State likewise
to Bell and Everett In Delaware and
Maryland, Douglas will doubtless get a
pretty large vote-so large as to secure
the success of the Bell ticket. Tennes
see is in the same predicament. 1t is
the home of Bell, and if Douglas should
make any run there, so as to divert any
considerable number of votes from
Breckinridge, Bell will carry that State
also. In none Of the other Southern
States, except perhaps Missouri, is it
probable that Douglas can withdraw
enough votes to defeat Breckenridge
and Lane
We think, therefore, from present in
dications, that Bell will carry Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky. and
probably Tennessee and Missouri, and
that Breckinridge will carry all the
other Slave States, with California and
Oregon.
On the other hand, we do not think
Douglas could, with a united party, carry
any of the Free States. But with
Breckinridge to divide the vote in In
diana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
the only States in which he had any
chance, we do not see where the Illinois
giant is to get single electo-
raj vote. Still, we like to see the spunk
of the Douglas men, and will hold their
hats while they "pitch in" We think
they can't give the "Slave Code" wing
of the party a hit too hard. The fight
will undoubtedly end like that between
Heenan and Sayers-both will be we'll
punished and neither gain victory. All
we desire is that they have a fair field
and free fight. The majority Of the
people are disinterested spectators of
the contest, and will cheer which ever
party gives the hardest blows. So clear
the ring and see the fun!
