PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT my part, / am
prepared to maintain and preserve inviolate
the constitution as it is, with all it's compro-
misses; to stand or fall by the American
Union, clinging with the tenacity OF life to
all its memories of the past, and precious
hopes of the future.-STEPHES A. DOUGLAS
But we are welded to one purpose from
which no earthly power can ever divorce
us. We are determined to abolish slavery
at all hazards in defiance of all opposition,
of what ever nature, which it is possible for
slaveocrats to bring against us. Of this
they may take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly. Cordially endorsed by
! OWEN LovEJoY, and 67 other Republican
members of Congress.

There are Republicans still SO fool har
dy as to claim Illinois for Lincoln When
we ask them upon what they base their
calculations, they immediately point to
Egypt, where they are counting on I'M
men-e gains our friends in Egypt assure
Us they VIII increase their majorites in
every county, but tell Us the republican
orators that come down there from the
north boast immensely of gains up this
way We tell them honestly not to heed
such stories. We reduced the republican
majority of 1876 ten thousand in 1888 in
the counties north OF Springfield. We
know TO certainty that we shall not lose
a vote on that of 1858 in the north but on
the contrary shall gain on it. If Egypt
then. instead OF gaining on the vote OF
lS5G. will but hold her own. Douglas is
sure Of carrying the state by 10000 These
are our figures, and we cannot put them
at vote less.

REPUBLICAN FAIsEuooD DIssECTEn.-
The republican press have been publishing
extensively what purports to be a list of
twentysix papers IN the State of New
York, which support Breckenridge and
Lane. The Albany .Atlas and Argts takes
the list to pieces, and shows that nine Of
the pretended Breckenridge papers have
no existence at all, four are ardent advo-
Gates OF Douglas and Johnson, one is q
Bell and Everett paper, and two are re-
publican papers, which divide their favors
between Lincoln and Breckenridge so
equally as quite readily to leave it doubt
full which OF the two they really support.
This leaves ten bona tide Breckenridge pa
pers in the State Of New York. In this
case, Republican veracity, being brought
to the test of figures, show reliability
which bears proportion to the truth of
/ 10 to l1-or financially speaking, of about
SO per cent, higher range than it attains

We found Mr.. Murray to be just what

genial, whole-souled man; and one who is
capable of imparting 20 others a similar

Just such an one as they delight to gather

leader, the Democracy are possessed OF a
strength which is far moderated but
which will become more and more devel-
oped as the campaign progresses, and
which will prove invincibls on the sixth
of November. Let them remember this,
