We advocate Mr.. BrccninIid@c': election be
cause the platform. while M! rs broad AMI IN
proachcS nearer our views ii protection ihaI
do the known opinions ul Nlr. Douglas an,
the platform upon which he stands. With IL
the defeat of Lincoln rises Ear above al ctic
questions Of men and platforms To accom-
plsll this defeat, since the party cann"t b,
united it should ayree [" disHgrtr, AMI accom-
pIsl the ,!e!ca, Of Lincoln By permitting Tho
majority TO control the minority. IN the Emth
ern States where Douglas has the majority, w,
would propose that Douglas electoral! tickets
only be run, provided in every Southern State
only Brccknridgc ticket: are run. Such i
pnii"y will defeat Lincoln; j. will place the
! electoral college in the hands Of Democratic
electors
| Unless some >rlrh policy he adopted, Mr..
Lincoln must he elected, for :. division OF the
Democracy gives every Northern Stale to the
Republicans There is net Northern state,
| in which Il division Of the Democratic party
will not hc Gatul--and while the Democracy is
madly quarrcling over men, the Republican
party will have wou tho prize and entered up
na their reckless and destructive course.
We desire but one ticket in Virginia, and as
there Is ln questioning the fact that Mr.. Greck-
inriase has Il very large majority, that ticket
should bc Tor Ercckinrdgc. But we ask not
for Virginia any compromise that we are un-
willing to advocate for the North, and hence
We are decidedly in favor Of only one Electoral
ticket in the Northern States.
TO accomplish this, the State Convention
must he attended by the friends Of Mr.. Dou-
gll$-a fair and open appointment Of del
cgatcs from every county should be made,
every appearance at packing should be
stidiously avoided, and the Convention,
in all its bearing, he OPEN fair and le.
gitimae We invite not the friends Of
Mr. Douglas to Il slaughter house prepared for
them, in which neither free discussion nor fair
play will he allowed, but to IL meeting of
friends to decide question upon which the
party is divided, and in manner that shall be
satisfactory to all. We hope there will be no
holding back un the part of Mr. Douglas
friends, for if they refuse union and co-pera.
tion in Virginia, if they i!tend TO war upon
their friends at the South, retaliation will he
made at the North, and intcrGccnc strife va
ged in every Northern State
The friends of Mr.. Donglas have too much
good sense not 10 divine the motive which nc
tuatcs the Richmond "Whig" in lis pretended
solcir,ic for Mr. Douglas. A(tcr months Of
Hnlner'sd and unlnitiga;s ahSs . Of TBS lll
