Cheering OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
LIME can be Eleciea by the People.


The tone Of the Opposition newspapers in regard
to the nomination of two tickets at Baltimore is
such that the portion of the public who allow them-
selves to be influenced by impressions gathered in
that quarter wil perhaps, be surprised by the dec
larafion that the candidacy of Mr. Douglas is likely
to result in actual advantage to Breckenridge and
Lane and may indirectly be the very means Of their
election But the declaration ought not really to be
the of any surprise. since it is very obvious
how in the great State of Pennsy for instance,
the candidacy Of Mr. Douglas will help Mr. Brecllin
ridge by drawing off for third candidate votes
which would otherwise be cast for Lincoln.
1t is mistake to suppose that the strength of Mr.
Douglas as candidate is come in all cases froIa
the Democratic ranks. A prominent Douglas jour
nal the North now before eyes, estimates that
in Pennsylvania he will draw thousands of votes
from the Opposition ranks Doubtless he will obtain
the largest part of his support fact from who
if Douglas were not IN the field, would vote the
Black Republican ticket Douglas thus completes
with Lincoln for the Black Republican vote, anc
hence there is good reason to calculate that the old
keystone" will cast her electoral vote for Breek-
inrIdge and Lane! The prospect Of this gori-
rous result must be obvious to every observer, and
its cheering effect upon the hopes OF the national De-
mocracy will rouse them to herculean exertions IN
behalf of their candidates
There can be no dispute about the fact that the
gallant Breckenridge and the veteran Lane are the
favorites of the Pennsylvania Democracy. They
will make up from personal admirers and from the
conservative men of the State all the Democratic
votes which will be thrown away on Douglas. The
bare statement of tile prospect will be sufficient to
satisfy every rejecting mind tEat we have the right
TO anticipate it. and to exut in the probable election
of the National Democratic nominees by the direct
vote of the peoplel
The Douglas men will not themselves deny that
they rely on votes drawn from Lincoln They have
all along openly counted such votes, and boasted
of them as an element of strength, when in fact,
here appears, they will be the very cause of their
overthrow. In Pennsylvania, the principal organ
/ of Mr. Douglas is a Black Republican paper edited
by the Clerk of a Black Republican House, and per
haps the largest part by far of his supporters will
| be men of the same stamp, whose influence and
votes would be given to Lincoln were Douglas not In
the field The harder they work for the latter, there
fore, and the more Black Republican votes they
obtain for him. the easier will be the National Dem
ocratic victory
Let the Democracy go into the canvass for Breck-
inrldge and Lane, then, with will! Let us arouse
the feelings of the old jackson Democracy; and the
result will be all that the friends of the Union and
the Constitution could desire Constitution

Judging from the eagerness with which the OPP

the DoUeIAs detection in the South. one would be

Opposition press throughout the State well know
that their main chance for carrying Tennessee is
through the instrumentality of DoGGLAs ticket.
Hence their anxiety to have ticket of that kind.
Their hope is to get the election into the House. If
there is no election by the people, only the three
highest candidates can be voted for by the House.

SENATOR CRTrTENDES SAID TO BE FOR BRECKN-
RIDGE AND LANE--It is rumored in political circles
here that the Hon j. j. Crittenden has declared his
intention of supporting Breckenridge and Lane. The
reason assigned by the venerable statesman for such
action is said to be- that the National Union Conven
ton would have selected Mr.. Breckenridge their
nominee, if they had supposed that the National
Democratic Convention would have made the same
choice and that all they desired was cOnserva-
tive. national honest man, all of which requisites

.Gov. Floyd, Secretary of War, is known to be a
Douglas man. A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid says that Gov. TOucey, Secretary of the Navy,
maintains that Douglas is the regularly nominated
National Democratic candidate; and that it is the
duty of the Connecticut Democracy to unite cor
daily and earnestly in his support"
We copy the foregoing from the Providence (R. L.
Daly Post for tue sole purpose of giving the state
ments which it makes the promptest and most I'M
equivoca denial and of, at the same time, calling
the attention Of the public to the utter recklessness
with which some of the organs of the Douglas fac
ton are endeavoring to mislead and deceive the
North as to the feelings entertained by prominent
men against those whose aim it is to divide and con-
quer the Democratic party Washington ConStitu-

Moro Evidence OF the Coalition Between
Douglas and Lincoln.
From the washington Consultation.


We invite the attention of our readers to the sub
the Precedence Daily Post of the 18th instant This
indirect way of supporting Lincoln by the nOmina-
ton of Douglas will, we predict, he abandoned by
It's perpetrators. and IN less than sixty days. The
true Democracy will drive its authors to an open,
direct advocacy of the Black Republican nominal
ton.
The coalition think now that they will succeed;
but before the first day of September they will be
taught to understand that the combined forces
of Douglas and Lincoln can neither intimide nor
distract the solid column of the true Democracy
In the declaration that stephen A. Douglas or
Abraham Lincoln will be elected before ten ballots
have taken place" there is an acknowledgment that
there is power in the combination of the friends of
those gentlemen to effect that object and the
time is limited when this thing is TO take place.
In view of such an admission, does it not become
every true Democrat who intends to cling to the
party to ask himself the question Is my Democracy
so far gone that prefer Lincoln to breckenridge!
Can be possible that the support of Douglas leads
to such result, that if cannot succeed in procur-
ing his election prefer Black Republican,! Such
seems to be the feeling of the New York AhaS and
Argus, the Providence Post. Senator Pugh, and the
leaders who have gone off from the Democratic
party, and have Joined the faction who are making
an instrument of Mr.. Douglas to rule or ruin in the
