H9y- We publish in this weeks issue, anoth,
er article from FoRNEY's Press. for the pur-
pose Of Illustrating the spirit which animates
the DoUGLAs portion of the Democracy. That
the feud between the two branches of the
harmonious" is irrecOncileable, is past doubt.
A portion of the adherents of either interest
would be glad to patch up some arrangement
by which a union could be effected, but the
parties most interested are opposed to any
such accommodation The secessionists have
everything to gain by unity Of action, as their
hope would be to throw the election into the
House, where an election being impossible, the
Senate would elect LANE who would become
acting President. The plan is shrewd one
but the people will prevent its consummation
Mr.. DoUGL1s and his friends are determined
that if he cannot be elected now, no President
shall be chosen who will employ the patronage
Of the administration to demoralze the party.
and prevent him from being the candidate in
1864. Hehas borne enough Of the power WELD
ed by an administration hostile to his advance
ment lie unquestionably considers that four
years ont of power will do much to harmonize
existing differences in the Democratic party,
that it may present an unbroken front in 1864,
and by that time he c0n satisfy the South

At present, there is every Indication that
the Republican nominee will carry every
Northern State. Yet Iukewarmness and apa-
thy may lose us the victory when it seems al
most within our grasp. 1t behooyes the Re
pubcans to conduct the battle as if the CO.
LortS of the administration were to be met in
solid phaIaux. The almighty power and force
of plunder may at the last emergency effect
what now seems impossible While victory
seems ready to perch upon our banners, danger
may be lowering near. Unceasiag activity
and vigilance were never more necessary than
now. We call upon our Republican friends
throughout the County to continue the work
of perfecting their organization, urge
upon those already organized the necessity Of
making their organization effective. In any
event, let US resolve that Bradford shall Go

DoUGLAs TO HAVE ANOTHER CHANcE-A
Washington letter-wrter says that the friends
of Douglas, after a long consultation have
determined to put him in nomination as a can
didate for the Presidency in 1864, Immediate
Iy after the November election, be the result
what it may They are resolved that his
competitor stalI not have control of the Dem

now mainly directed, but intend to continue
the fight to the bitter end. As Messrs Breck-

indulge the qualification Of a protracted rival
