The disposition Of many old Whigs and

rett Tor Breckenridge and Douglas is not very
cordially responded to By others Of their num-
her. The Cumberland (Md.) Telegraph says,

We prefar Mr- Lincoln before either Of the
Democratic nominees, and if driven from our
support Of Mr. Bell By the treachery OF our
leading ,nen--if our party il to be sold out TO

w. G. Bonner, Esq, an old citizen Of Madi-
son county, Ill. writing to friend, says:
.'politlca11y. old Madison is redeemed, and
Illinois is ell right. Old Abe will sweep every
thing in this State. Men who hare been Demo.
crata all their lises are Mike dis2usted With
|aEcerism and Utah Squatter Sovereignty, and
ure daiIe coming into tbs Republican Tanks.

history that sin stricken Democracy has been
invited to Abraham's bosom, and in thesepa' arts
them in the county, in the State, and in the
Uaiou. Douglas is literally dead.

depression ot the past two years, and there are
now in Missouri more than one hundred thou
sand siayes, occupying and filing the most lu
crative agricultural and mecta 1ical positions q
| the inferior. 1t is the demand of the Republi
! eau party that slRre labor ehall make room fol
| free while labor, and take itself away"
| We lear from Georgia that a Houston Elec
toral ticket ia about to be put up in that State
and that It will command much stronger vots
| than there has hitherto been reason to expect
| THIS is due in grea: part to the fact that tht
I Deta leaders there have made + ureat bareair
! With the Douglas party. At this, much di.gus'

them are said to he dispssed, in consequence, tt
| cast their yotes for uouston.-N. !. Tribune.
