Sectional Candidate.

Democrats seem to take pride in calling
Mr.. Lincoln a Sectional Candidate, and
that he got no votes in the nominating con-
vention from Slave States. Let us see:
When the nomination was made at Chi
cago, Mr.. Lincoln received from Maryland,
Q; Delaware, 6; Virginia, IA; Kentucky,
%; Missouri, ls;-Total, 20 votes from the
Slave States.
In the Baltimore convention when the
nomination was made, S. A. Douglas got
Maryland, %; Virginia, 8; North Carolina,
l; Alabama, O.; Louisiana, 9; Arkansas,
IL; Missouri, Al; Tennessee, 8; Kentucky,
S;-Total, S3t votes from the Slave States
From the above it can be seen who is the
Sectional Candidate. There is not the
least possible chance Of Mr.. Douglas re-
ceiving the electoral vote of more than one

be the party of the whole Union.

Tho Election OF Col. maker.

The election Of Col. Baker as Senator
from Oregon is deeply gratifying to the peo-
pie at this point, where he is so we'll known as
soldier and gentleman. Some months
ago Senators Gwin and Lane were warned
by one who thoroughly comprehended pub
lie sentiment on the Pacific coast, that Col.
Baker would be returned as Senator from
Oregon. OF course the idea was then
secuted, but those honorable Senators are
probably now beginning to see and feel the
force of the great ground-swell Of public
thought AS an illustration Of the practical
force and energy Of Col. Bakers character,
l may state that he took with him to Cal
ifornia several hundred poor men who
worked their passage to the land of gold
by some four months labor on the Panama
Railroad under the direction Of their leader.

why They reel so had About it

The Northern pro-slavery Of all parties
Bell, Breckenridge and Douglas-oppose
the election of Lincoln because, as they say,
it will build up Republican party in the
Slave States Instead Of being matter to
be deplored, it is just what the country
needs. The slave oligarchs have ruled
with high hand quito too long already
The whip, tar feathers, the rope, and in
some instances the faggot, have crushed out
by brute force freedom of thought, freedom
of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom
of travel and occupation to all who do not
bow down and worship the black IDOL
The despotism and cruelties Of Bomba were
not more revolving to humanity, than have
been the tyranny exercised over free citizens
of the North and South, during the past
twelve-months in every State below Mason
and Dixon's limo. Organized Vigilance
Committees-nothing but organized mobs
have been the tribunals of live and death.
Mere suspicious, and confessions extorted by
the lash from their human chattels, have
been the evidence upon which innocent
persons, in many cases, have been convicted
by Judge Lynch tribunals. Such record
as facts have made against Southern in
tolerance, persecution, and outrage, would
make even the Druses of the Old World
blush. 1t is time the South should be pro,
tected through law and order Republican
party ut homo.
One of the grandest achievements of q
Republican Administration will be the
building up of strong and patriotic Re
publican party in the South. In bringing
the Government back to the Republican
usages and measures of Washington, JEFF
ferson, Madison, and the fathers of the Re
public North and South, the iron despot
ism that has been established in half the
Union by modern Democracy will be bro
ken-law will triumph over lawlessness-
order over disorder-justice over injustice
freedom of thought, speech, press, and citi
zenship over the denial and destruction o
each and all-and union over disunion.-
A generous infusion of the principles anC
humanities of Republicanism into the po
liticsl organization of the South, will prove
god-send to all the people, bond anC
free. Fraternity and good neighborhood
will be restored in Uncle Sans family, anC
''mind your own business" will again be-
como the rule instead of the exception

Aggregate Republican majorities.
DEMOCRATIC MAJoRITIEs.
Tho Next Congress.

The New York Evening Post classifes
the members of Congress already elected,
and to be elected, leaving out New York,
as 80 Lincoln, SO Breckinridge, 81 Bell,
and 25 Douglas. The Post sets down the
New York districts as 2I certain for Lincoln,
10 probable for him, and only as Demo
cratic. 10 regard to what has been said
relative to Congress being opposed to Lin
coins administration, the Post says:
"No Congress can resist the unmistake-
able demonstration of public sentiment
which is to be made in favor of Republican
principles at this election, and were there
forty majority against Lincoln at the open
ing of the next Congress, he would greatly
disappoint his friends If his course as Presi-
dent did not inspire such confidence as to
command for his measures all necessary
support. On the slavery question his ad-
ministration will probably have no sffirma-
tive policy, except to admit Kansas, and to
that there can be no very serious opposi-
tion.
"Upon the affirmative measures of the
new President we have no fear ofany com
pact aud permanent opposition from his
present opponents, who will have more than
enough to do TO settle their own controvers,
ies Should Mr.. Lincoln conduct his ad-
ministration as every Republican believes
he will, upon national and Republican princi
Piles, he will have all the cooperation from
Congress that be requires; if be does not, Of
course it is better that bis party in the
House should be in a minority. But if he
does not have working majority Of twenty
members at least before the close of hi;
first Congress, we shall be more disappoint
ed than We should be by his defeat in Nov
embes, and his election we consider certain
enough for all practical purposes.

Reader, ifyou want to vote for the next
President of the United States, vote for Old
Abe Lincoln. He is as sure to be elected as
the 9Th day of November shall como around.
He is the only national candiddte-tbe only
one who stands upon his own merits before
the people and he is the only one who can be
elected by the people. All that the oppo-
nents of Lincoln hope to accomplish iG by
fusion Tor confusion rather,) to prevent an

Mr.. Whitfield once sobered Gov. Ogle-
thorpe Of Georgia, when abusing his servant
for some misdemeanor, and saying in great
excitement 1.-THE rascal shall suffer for il,
for he knows ! never forgive;" said Whit
field quietly, 81 hope you never sin, or need
forgiveness Of God" There is instruction
in the following story: -
ain the Middle Ages when the great
lcrds and knights were always at war with
each other, one Of them resolved to revenge
himself upon a neighbor who had offended
him. 1t chanced that very evening which
he made his resolution, he heard that his
enemy was to pass near his castle, with on
u few men with him. It was good op-
portunity to take his revenge, and he de-
termined not to let it pass. He spoke of
this plan in the presence Of his chaplain,
who tried in vain TO persuade him to give
it up. The good man said great deal to
the duke about the sin Of what he was 90
ing to do, but in vain. AT longth seeing
that it all had no effect, he said:
"My lord, since cannot persuade you to
give up this plan Of yours, will you at least
consent to come with me to the chapel,
that we may pray together before you go"
The duke consented and the chaplain
and he knelt together in prayer. Then the
mercy-loving christian said to the avenge-
ful warrior:
"Will you repeat after me, sentence by
sentence, the prayer which our Lord Jesus
Christ himself taught to his disciplesl"
~ will do it." replied the duke.
He did it accordingly. The chaplain
said a sentence and the duke repeated it, till
he came to the petition: "Forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass
against u.s." The duke was SILENT
"My lord, you are silent" said the chap
lain. "Will you be so good as to continue
to repeat the words after me, If you dare do
so? "Forgive us our trespasses, as zoe for
giOe them that trespass against us"
81 cannot" replied the duke.
"Well, God cannot forgive you for he
has said so. He himself has given us this
prayer. Therefore, you must either give
up your revenge, or give up saying thi:
prayer; for to ask God to pardon you a'
you pardon others is to ask him to take ven
geance on you for all your SINS"
The iron will of the duke was broken.
NO" said he 81 will finish my prayer
My God, my father, pardon me; forgive mc
as desire to forgive him who has offended
me; lead me not into temptation, but deliv
er me from evil
"Amen," repeated the duke, who nov
understood the Lords Prayer, better thar
he had ever done before, since he hac
learned to apply it to himself.

He Resumes the southern rTasIs.

Here is what Mr.. Douglas said in his
Memphis speech of October oath, 1860, as
taken down by his own reporter;
"Ihe citizens ofeach and all of the States
may mOve into the territories and carry
their property aOih them on terms of EX-
ACT EQUALITY, no matter whether
that property consists in cattle, horses and
merchandise, OR IN SLA YES, or in
any other species of property.
On whatever terms a citizen of free
State may move into territory with all his
particular property, citizens of slave State
can go and carry their slave property. IT
is ALSO AN ESSENTIAL PRINCI.

ERY RIGHT OF PROPERTY, as we'll
as of person, SHOULD BE VIGOROUS.

ent of the Albany Journal states that few
evenings since, in company with one of AL
bany's most eloquent and reputable clergy
mon, and several other gentlemen, the rev.
erend gentleman said that in the year 1858,
in New York, in conversation with the
Hon. s. A. Douglas, Mr.. Douglas remarked
that he knew a man named Abraham Lin
coin, who, should he ever be nominated for
the Presidency, "aOould 90 to the White
House Nth flying colors;," and he further
added: 81 recognize in him all the great
qualities that distinguish the upright and
honest statesman, and he is a man of un-
compromising firmness and great decision
of character, insomuch that his political
with all their spirit of party
malevolence cannot find anything to con-
denim in him. Such man, sir, is Abra-
ham Lincoln of Illinois"

No true Republican will think, say or act
so. He remembers that all majorities are
made up of single ballots, and acts accord
iugly. He too highly prizes the right Of
suffrage to omit to use it when the fate of
the Republic may be balanced on vote.
Suppose few Republicans in each ward
and township in Ohio should say on next
Tuesday, "my vote will make no difference"
and stay away from the polls. Defeat GER

the dire calamity to the country of pro-
tracted struggle in Congress for the Presi-

safe place for il when the Presidency is at
stake, is IN THE BALLOT BOX.

Seated in the front corner, surrounded
by her personal conveuiences, such as a car
pet bag, bundle, few apples and peices of
cake, was colored lady, whose face the
hue of an inverted saucepan, contrasted
with her snow-white ivory and eyeballs,
gave the pleasing African expression which
is SO often the type of humor and good ma
ture.
"Tickets, ma'am," says our conductor, with
civility regardless of complexion.
81 hasen't got 'em,' she replied, 'but Use
got money any way;' and she began to FUN
bic in her bag, then in the bundles, search
ing these articles though in vain.
"Come hurry up" exclaimed her slightly

for the key.
"Well, well, I'll pass through, and when
I get back perhaps you will have it ready"

sed along she reached out her umbrella,
and giving him poke upon the shoulder,
asked, "What you gwoin to charge on

"What do you want to know that for?

"Well, five cents foot: there, don't both

There seemed to be peculiar drollery
about the lady's eye and mouth, as the one
rolled around in its black sea of flesh, and
the other opened to give vent to an in
voluntary "yah! har 1t was not long
now before she found her purse, and with
drew some coin, which she kept jingling in
her hand, as she kept up her occasional
cachinnations.
In due time the conductor returned for
his money, and upon extending his itching
palm, was somewhat astonished at receiving
tne precise sum OF ten cents.
