HAULED Down THE DOUGLAS FLAG
The Newport R. ~ Advertiser pulls down
the Douglas flag at the head of its column,
and, Sin accordance with the views of dis
interested friends" has concluded to wait
until the Democratic differences are ad-
justed before it takes any part in the per-
sonal contest respecting the Presidency.
The Wabash (Indiana) Plaindealer, the
only Douglas organ in Wabash County,
and the leading one in the eleventh dis
trict has hauled down the Douglas flag and
declares for Lincoln.
After the Breckenridge demonstration
at Indianapolis, says the Journal of that
city, Chas. Coulver, a prominent Douglas
Democrat, announced his fixed determina-
tion to support Lincoln.
WELL SAID I'm recent speech before
the Republicans of Boston, Gov. Banks
said he had stood in the presence of Abra-
ham Lincoln without suspicion that he was
ever to be Republican candidate for Pres
ident, and thought him man whom God
made, and one of His best jobs at that.
For L1NcoLN.-The Rochester american
says: The venerable Judge, Isaac Sisson,
of Cayuga county, who has voted with the
democratic party since the days of Jeffer
son is out for Lincoln. He SAYS he has
stuck to the democratic party as long as
he could see anything Of the party left, and
now, it having utterly dissolved, he feels it
his duty to work for it no longer, but in
tends TO support the Republican candidates
Lincoln and Hamlin.
Ex-Governor Reuben Wood said in his
speech at the Cuyahoga County Conven-
| ton:
Mr.. Douglas cannot carry a single State
of the Republic-not a single Electoral
vote-the only State Mr.. Douglas is Ger:
tain of, is the State of disappointment
hope and ambition, and these he will car
ry with him to the grave.
The Albany EUeRlng journal says:
Prominent members of the Democratic
factions are still trying hard to unite on
one Electoral ticket in this State. And
they talk about if it might be of service
to them But of what service can it be?
Republicans are quite indiffert aboutit be-
cause they can whip them just as efectual-
ly combined as distracted. 1t is simply
question whether Lincoln shall have rs,
900 or $4,000 majority. Either figure
will answer. Let the union be effected, by
all means, the sooner the better"
A HALFWAY Senator
Douglas while "doing" Connecticut, said
he "stood half way between two parties"
He won't get halfway to the Presiden-
cy however, Chicago Journal.
