One More for Lincoln.

One More for Lincoln.
The Moupt Carmel Register, one of the
ablest Of Illinois papers, has come out
fairly for Lincoln and Hamlin. The
Register has been until a fortnight past,
an Old Line Whig organ, with suspi-
cious leanings toward Douglasism. The
groans of the Douglasites in that region
in view of this accession to Republican
strength in Illinois are said to be dole
full to hear.
nA-The accession Of ex-Governor
Reuben Wood, of Cuyahoga county, to
the Breekinridge ranks, is only one of
many indications Of the course that is
to be taken by great portion OF the
more substantial leaders of the Ohio

Nothing is more certain than that Breck.

The editor Of the Cumberland (Md.)
Telegraph, the American organ, referring
to statement that the opposition party
/ in Alabama had, in Convention, repudi-
ated Bell and Everett, and declared.
their purpose to support Breckinridge
and Lane, says:
awe prefer Mr.. Lincoln before either
of the Democratic nominees, and if
driven from our support of Mr.. Bell by
the treachery of our leading men-5if our
party is to be sold out to either wing of
the Democracy-then ace are for Lincol,,

g1 Douglas, in his pilgrim harangues,
endeavors to find favor with the free
men of the North by abusing Buchanan
for trying to force the Lecompton Con-
stitution upon Kansas, when the people
didn't aeant 1t. But he doesn't say
word about his own delinquency in re-
fusing to get through Congress Con-
stitution which the people of Kansas
did want
Is not one as bad as the other? No
man has been so yindictive and abusive
of the people of Kansas as Douglas, and
Buchanan himself would be less hypo-
critic if he should now pretend friendship
for them.--ADany Journal.
g1 Ex-Speaker Orr, of South Caro-
lima, has written Secession letter, in
the course of which he says: r,5e
"Lincoln and Hamlin, the Black Re-
publican nominees, will be elected in
November next, and the South will then
decide the great question whether they
will submit to the domination of Black
Republican rule-the fundamental prin-
ciple of their organization being ain open,
undisguised, and declared war upon our
social Institutions. l believe that the
honor and safety of the South, in that
contingency, will require the prompt Sc
cession of the slaveholding States from
the Union; and failing then to obtain
from the Free States additional and
higher guarantees for the protection of
our rights and property, that the Sc
ceding States should proceed to establish
Reasons for Leaving Donglass
In Logan County, Illinois, VIM. p
! Randolph, leading Democrat, has come
out for Lincoln. He made a speech a
few days since, explaining his course
Among the reasons assigned for re-
nouncing Douglas were these:
l. The Baltimore Popular Sovereignty
Platform indorses the Dred Scott decis-
ion. The Dred Scott decision declares
that Slavery legally exists in all the
Territories. There is, then, no differ
ence between the policy Of Breckinridge
and Douglrs.
2. Mr.. Douglas in recent speech
affirmed that the practical operation of
non-intervention had been to convert
New Mexico, which was formerly free
Territory. into slave Territory. Thus,
through Popular Sovereignty, the South
had gained from tie North-Slavery
had snatched from the North an area
equal to fcc ,Stutes Of the size of Nep
/ York. If such is the effect of 'smy great
principle" Mr: r. declared his unwil-
ling to support it further.
Senator Green Douglas.
We have before us speech recently
delivered by Senator Green of Missouri,
at St, Joseph, in that state, in which he
said:
"He supported John c. Breckenridge,
