The BALTIMoRE ELECTION Mr.. Brown. the

as Breckinridge man, is supporter of Bell and

NEE The Baltimore Sun, neutral paper with
Democratic tendencies, on the morning Of the elce
ton, explained the character of the contest o. fol-
lows:
Both wings Of The Democracy declined to nomi-
nate candidate for the Mayoralty, nor do we
learn that there has been a single Democratic
nomination for the city councils. The Union Or
Bell and Everett party, have made no nomination
for the Mayoralty, a considerable proportion of
them regarding their business interests in
with the welfare Of the city, identified with the
success Of reform. And many of onr citizens who
have heretofore acted with the American party
will vote for Mr. Brown. Hence all partisan dis
tnction is merged in one common effort for the
good Of the city, n the election Of the reform
didates for the Mayoralty and city councils. It
cannot therefore, be claimed triumph, or as
any indication whatsoever Of public sentiment on
free from party; and us such limits the vote of the
city TO simple expression of the popular will with
regard to its permanent welfare.
DErno1T, Oct. Ex-senator Douglas arrived here
this morning and in the afternoon addressed an
immense eoneoufse of people, gathered from the
the open air in Campus Martins. His speech was
mainly in reply to Senator Stewards, delivered
here last mouth. A torch-light procession took
place tonight an immense affair, equaling in the
number of torches anything ever attempted here.
Senator Douglas leaves for Kalamazoo tomorrow
morning, where he speaks in the afternoon.
ST.. Louis, Oct. l5.-The Bulletin, the organ of

Central Committee urging that the vote of the State

Mr.. Lamb, the Breckinfidge elector at Norfolk,
says that he has put to Mr. breckenridge by letter
the questions he promised to put to him, but he has
received no answer. He therefore claims to have
fulfilled the pledge he gave at the Douglas meeting.
But the claim is absurd. His pledge was, not that
he would put the questions to Mr. Brecknridge,
but that M Brecbciaiidge Should d1lSater them
Mr.. Lamb is bound in honor either to make Mr..
Brecknridge answer the questions or to withdraw
from the electoral ticket. If Mr.. Lamb does
neither he is disgraeed, and public opinion should

sALEu, Oregon, Sept 2s.--A Joint resolution
passed both branches OF the legislative assembly
yesterday for joint convention to convene in the
ball of Representatives en- Monday October 1st for
the election of two United States Senators. The
vote was unanimous in the Senate but met with
strong opposition by the Brecknridge Democrats
in tile House. There is no certainty Of an election
taking place at the time specified.
A sTRoNd DEMOCRAT FoR DouGLAs.--W. B. Gray
nf Tho of oi nd
consistent Democrat, announces, in the last num-
ber of the Franklin Sun, his intention to support
Douglas for the Presidency. The reasons given for
declining to act with the other wing Of the party
are well considered and of great force.
THE PROSPERITY New York Express takes
very hopeful view of the late Pennlylyana cleo
ton. It says:
We are glad to say to our political friends and
readers that SO far can hear and see, none of
the true Union men Of the city, neghborhood and
State, are in despair in consequence of the result
of the Pennsylvania election The loss of several
members of Congress to the Republican party ia an
offset to their gain of few thousand votes and it
is but few thousand only, as it will be seen by
comparing the popular vote with the last contested
elections. No good citizen ought to despair of the
republic, and no man of heart and hope will while
there is one chance left for victory.
What we now owe to this great municipal city,
and to this great Empire State, is to redeem it from
the danger which threatens the integrity of the
Union, the peace of the people, and the gene
raj prosperity of the country. Every nationally.
minded man, every patriotic and Warm-hearted
conservative citizen ought to enlist under the Union
flag in the ranks OF the Union party of the State.
We owe it to the commonwealth OF which we are
citizens, to the city, to patriotic brethren
North and South; and if we discharge our duty in
the fear of God, and inspired only by an honest
love Of country, we have no apprehension Of the
result. No man, then, ought to be governed by
fear, apathy, indifference or despair. Let trust
in God, use our best eXertions and all the honors
and rewards of victory will be ours.
HIS ENEMIES PRAISE HIM.-The position which
Mr.. Belhas misunderstanding the present canvass
seems to have commended itself to the approval of
men of all parties. Even Senator Davis, who, in
a recent speech at Holly Springs, Miss was quite
severe on Douglas and Breckinridge for taking the
stump, did not hesitate to express his commenda-
ton of Mr.. Bells course. He is reported to have
said, that, while the above candidates were timer
atng in their own behalf, "John Bell staid at
home and behaved himself like gentleman
There is evidently change coming over the ultra
supporters Of Breckenridge. The Marietta (Ga.)
Southern Statesman distinctly declares against re-
sistance should Lincon be elected. Governor Wise
has declared that he :" will not seceden but will
fight in and for the Union and Mr.. William +. Sam

which he says:
How shall we resist Lincoln? By secession or
revolution? BY neither! BY no act of aggression
whatever By stern, determined maintenance of
our rights in the Union with arms in our hands
Let us fight for the Union, and never cease to fight
