no electoral ticket for Douglas and

theVirginia Democracy is about given up.
The Breckinridge men look with con-
tempt upon the Douglas men, of whom
there are not enough to form respecta-
BILE minority.
nAT The True Democrat (Arkansas)
is authorized to say that all the Demo-
cratic candidates for electors of Presi-

luton is incrttuble."

letter to Frank Blair to come and make
them Republican speech.
VIII Not Decline.
The Springfield tIll.) Register, the
State organ of Douglas, announces that
Mr.. Douglas has no idea of resigning his

the Presidency, and thus confirms the
Little Giants declaration that the elec-
ton of the Republican candidate is vir-
tualiy secured.
