the politicians Of the North, and when the issue
IL once made, q it will be in the coming eanyAsa
between the disunionists and their opponents, be
thinks the whole race of conspiritors will be
swept out Of political existence. He regards
Breckinridgc as the actual representative and in.
strument of the disuhion party. He is playing
their game, and must share their fate. That par
ty embraces probably decided majority Of the
politicians Of the Southern States, but il utterly
losthed and scofned by nine.sehths Of the pco-
pie; and when they come to undegstand thor.
oaghly that the Breckinridge party in the South
is really the Disunion party, they win drive its
leaders from power, and put upon them so efec.
tually the brand Of their indignation, that they
will never regain the ascendancy they have
hitherto enjoyed. Whatever, therefore, may be
the general result, Mr.. Douglas regards it Is ut.
tcrly impossible that Breckinridge ehonld receive
electoral votes enough to carry his name into the
House Of Representatives. if there should be no
election BY the people. That point he considers
certain. and Intends to do everything in his pow
er to make it certain, If there is any shadow OF
doubt about it now, He cares nothiug about his
owu personal success, and comparatively little
for the success Of the Democratic party, as it
stands ct present. But he intends TO crush oM ut
a7ty and forever tie Nsunio,s party, if it is in his
power to do so, And il Lincoln should be elect
ed President, and the conspirators should at
tempt to put their Secession threats into execu-
tion, they will find in no part of the counbry more
resolute and determined hostility than from
Judge Douglas and his Southern friends.
These are the views, / have reason to believe,
which govern the action Of Mr.. Douglas in this
campaign; and they cannot fail, think, to mod
ify somewhat the harsh Judgment which has in
some qua, ters been pronounced upon it. His
principal aim is to break down the Disunion Par
ty. He regards them as the enemies Of the coun-
try, and as certain to embroil it in turmoil and
confusion unless they are shorn Of their power
by the people. do not believe he has any hope
of his own election, and ann quite sure that he
would prefer Lincolns success to any result
Which should carry Breckinridge into the House
as one Of the three highest candidates, and thus
give the Senate a chance OF electing Lane. He
has confined hs canvass thus far to those States
which are SO thoroughly Republican that he could
not expect to affect their vote. He does not hes
itate openly and emphaticaly to denouncc the at
tempted coalition in PennsylSan and he pro-
ceeds, in the coprse Of week or two, to Virgin
ia, where he win throw down the glove to the
pisunionists, and open the campaign on their
own ground. In ItM part of his canvass /, for
one, most heartily wish him success. j,.- gs
A friend writes US in regard to the vote
Of New York, having evidently been scared by
the blowing Of the Douglas worshippers. The
best informed men in that State, including Mr.
Seward, Mr.. Weed and Mr. Greeley, assert with
out qualification or doubt that Mr.. Lincoln will
carry the Empire State by majority of $4,000!
In addition TO our former votes we this year
shall get large majority Of the Fillmore
strength. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
Mr.. Fllmorc's organ and the leading paper in
Western New York, with all the Fillmore papers
in that State with here and there an unimpor.
tant exception, are supporting Mr.. Lincoln. And
could there be union affected between all his
opponents we have not the slightest doubt Mr..
Lincoln would carry the State by triumphant
majority. But there is no union and cannot be
a union. There is the most bitter feud existing
between the Hards and Softs-between the
Douglas and Breckenridge forces, and although
the former may, and probably have succeeded in
gaining the support and co operation Of the
remnant Of the American party, they will thus
poll but few if any more votes than the Breck-
inridge faction. The fight is simply for the or
ganization-for the command of the forces after
the defeat. The only really spirited fight there
is in any State is between Douglas and Breckin.
ridge. Both parties are bitter and determined
and seek above everything else to beat each
oliler. Mr.. Douglas seeks the destruction and
anuihilation Of Breckenridge and the seccders
On the other hand a large majority of the Demo
cratic party South and a considerable minority
Of the Democratic party in the North, with Mr.
Buchanan and his administration, hate Douglas
supremely and have set their hearts upon crush
ing him out There can be little doubt that boil
parties will succeed.
