Douglas lost us PennsvIuania

When told that a refusal on the part ot hls friends to sustain the union ticket ill New Jersey would give that State to tho republicans, with cool atrocity Douglas re- sponded, /" Well then, let the republicans have it--it will give us the organization ir lo64" Any reader of the little dema- goSue's stump speeches over the North knows what debt of gratitude is due him from the republicans for their recent unex- pected trium mphs. ana ,.s,i ,..i5f.leS s f}ls
 Our overwhelming defeat in Pennsylva- mia, alike deplorable and unlocked for, can be explained in no other way than by the well founded supposition that the Bell men and the Douglasitcs, under the lead of For ney, betrayed the conservative cause. Gen
 Foster, the democratic candidate, we be- lieve, is a Breckinridge man; at all events
 he was highly acceptable to our party, and was ardently supported by the Breckinridge presses and speakers without exception = Senator Biger was warmly enlisted in his cause, and so with all our leaders there - Gen. Fosters answer to the Norfolk ques- tions, differing from that of Douglas, had particularly endeared him to the state rights democracy of the whole, country. The Breckinridge men in Pennsylvania outnum- Der either the Douglas or Bell forces; they have fair representation upon the Read ing electoral ticket, and in the defeat of Lincoln would be the principal gainers.- No conceivable motive, therefore, can be assigned them either for desire to see Eos ter defeated or an attempt to bring about such result. On the contrary, the sue l,n ,li falt L,,4 4l the heaviest disaster. We cannot say as much for the Bell men, and in regard to the Douglas men we know that all that For4iey could influence, and all that have looked to Douglas speeches as guide for their &C., tion, have rebelled, not only against the Reading ticket and the Cresson arrange meut, but have done all in their power to prevent q union of the democracy against republicunisn. To these causes is defeat attributable, and in view of all these facts above set forth, the imputation that the Breckinridge democracy are in the least re- sponsibe for the late black republican suc- cess in the North, is an unfounded islander, . the authors and utterers of which exhibit remarkable amount of menlacity and impudence.

 GRATITUDE TO DouGLAs.-The returns from Indiana and Ohio justify ns in ex- pressing our thanks to Mir Douglas for his efficient service in this campaign. Wher- ever he spoke in Vermont and Maine the republican majorities increased, si Without his assistance in Pennsylvania we should probably have fallen several thousand be- hind our present triumph And now on the heels, of these the western States come booming along with results which are al- most astounding Indiana is redeemed on the popular vote in Congress and in the Legislature, mostly owing to the speeches which Mir. Douglas made against us only n week ago. He has gone to Iowa and Wis consin, and will probably contribute to- like successes in those States. If we could send few more such missionaries abroad there would be no use in organizing cam paign. Our allies would unconsciously do all the work themselves. Mir Douglas has been much mistified as to "popular sover- eighty" of late, but if he would take the pains to study the election returns now coming in, he will be apt to get an iilustra, tion of 1t worth remembering,
