We say that this decision will be made by
the Democracy, for it is now conceded that
Lincoln can not be elected President of these
United States. New York, Indiana and ILL
nois of the Northern States are already sure
against him, while the ground will be fought
with him in every other State with an .eqdal
chance The government will inevitably re-
main in the hands of the party that have al
ways controlled it and brought it to its present
powerful and proud position.

john ID. Jones.

The assertion in last weeks Times that John
d. Jones, our candidate for Probate Judge, did
not express his determination to support Doug
las until a week after his nomination, is false.
It is true Judge Jones preferred the nomina-
tibn7o some other man but immediately after
the nomination, he declared his determination
to support Douglas as the regular nominee of
the Democratic party. Judge ,Jones stood
just like Cochrane of New York, Dawson of
of Penn., Gov. Willard of Indiana, and a host
of the other leading men of the country, bound
by the action of the Democratic Convention
and determined to support its nominees, al
though those nominees were not their FIRST
.choise.

BUSY TIMEs.-Douglas, the Popular Sow,
ereignty chieftain of the American Democra-
ey, is making a triumphant tour through the
country South. The Prince of Wales, the
miniature monarch, is putting in commotion
all the British Colonies in the North. The
former represents the sovereign rights of the
people to rule; the latter the "Diyine rights OF
Kings" Douglas is the favorite of the Anne
rican people; the Prince of the English people.
Douglas depends on the voluntary suffrages of
the people for promotioff; the Prince on the
accident of birth and the loyalty of his SUBJ
jects.-Rdin Dealer taa .--

The Rsprbliean candidate for Vice
PresidentAA Serious CHARGE.

The Rspublican candidate for Vice
PresidentAA Serious Charge.
1t has been established as a fact; by Colonel
Smart, the Democratic candidate for Governor
Of Maine, that Hannibal Hamlin, the Repub-
Iiean nominee for Vice President, when a
member of Congress, received a fee of sevea
thousand dollars for lobbying a claim through
Congress. Read the following letter:
P~oRTERND, August 6, 1860.
-"Dear=Sir: 1 very we'll remember the inter-
est which Mr.. Hamlin took in procuring the
passage of the resolve extending the time for
filing evidence before the Commissioner for
the distribution of the Brazilian indemnity.
The Senate Committee reported the resolve,
and 1 think it passed upon the same day
This resolve provided fer nine months addi-
tional time therefor. Mr.. Mason moved to
amend by reducing it to four months, saying
he bad consulted with MIR. Hamliu, the Sena-
tor from Maine, who had seen the Commits
sior er.
"The resolve was taken up in the House on
Friday, the day assigned to Private Calender,
and was forced through before taking up pri-
vate bills. Mr.. Hamlin followed the resolve
into the House. 1 saw him conversing with
yourself and others. He spoke to me to aid the
passage of the resolve as a public measure, and
at the time l did not dream that be had a pri-
vate interest in the claim, or was using his
Senatorial position for his private benefit. The
first knowledge I had of Hamlin's attorneyship
was on meeting him on his way to Massachu-
sets to take evidence in support of this claim
after the Adjournment.
"During the next session of Gongrcss Mr..
Hamlin read to me a written argument which
he had prepared and aftcrward fled before the
Commissioner in support of the claim which
he was employed to sustain. Why he was en-
gagged by Massachusetts, clients, may well chal-
lenge inquiry. Mf. Ham1in has never been
distinguished for eninence as a lawyer, while
he has a reputation as a political and Congress-
ional manager. x.
t"Mr. Hamlin Was Successful, and, I under
stood, received some S28, 900, of which his
share was one-fourth, or $1,000. He said to
me that some Washington banker had advised
him to invest his money in some W cstern rail
road, and he had acted In accordance with this
advice.
"The manner of MI. Hatrlin's employment
and his peculiar agency in the matter must
convince every one that his political position
and not his professional talent, was the bGsi-
ness transaction aimed at by his Massachusetts
clients. Yours, truly, e-9ass - % 81

Comment upon this ~disreputable transaction
is needless The Republicans who support
such a man should never say anything about

Douglas Enthusiasm.

The New York Daily Nelos which strongly
opposed the nomination of Mr.. DOUGLAS, now
says that no candidate with the exception Of
JACKSON, ever inspired SO much enthusiasm
1t says: frz III - ro1sTeF,
"Our exchanges are filed with the records
of popular demonstrations and popular moves
ments in favor of the Democratic nominees
Douglas meetings, Douglas clubs. Douglas so-
%cieties, Douglas committees Douglas se~rensdes,
Douglas excursions, Douglas balls, Douglas
hops, Douglas entertain m eutss Douglas din
ners and Douglas speeches are, all the go at
present. They spring spontaneously from the
people themselves, and cannot be pressed,
They speak the same voice that was heard on
the hills of New England and the rich bot
tom lands of New York-that walked up the
Alleganies, and rolled over the prairies of the
West and rich savannahs of the South in 1882,
and in addition thereto, it now takes a far
wider Western sweep, and also winds along
the distant golden shores of California, the far
off Oregon, and cheers the hearts of the mi
.ners in the passes and on the hill-sides of the
Sierra Nevada"
In conclusion it adds: -o=
HPass through the streets OF the city aud
along the numerous wharves, and converse
with the thousands of honest laborers, those
who earn their bread by the sweat Of their
brows, and they will tell you almost to a mar
that they are for Douglas. =
Converse with our hundred thousand mer-
chants, their clerks and employees, as they
meet in their reading and club-rooms, or
around their own fresides, and a very large
majority will tell you they shall cast their
votes for Douglas. Converse with our two
thousand policemen, and the ten thousand
clerks and laborers in, the public Offices of our
city, in the Custom House and Navy Yard,
and as far as they dare express an opinion it
is in favor of Douglas. Then go to our hume
rous ship-yards, and among our sailors and
boatmen, and into our ten thousand. manufac-.
turing establishments, and listen to the deep
affirmative response that comes up at the very
mention or the name of Douglas
