THE GOOD TIME comrNG.


) time, would usher in the "good time" 81
long reported as Coming"
If somebody is not very much mista
ken, we will have at least four Presidents
elected in November, and all of them
q, the very best that ever shed blessings
and benefits" upon any country.
t'Tat we have, Lincoln, Of Illinois
who, very many, and, the Telegraph
among them, believe will be elected, and
make a FIRST class President. Honest,
faithful, and capable, it is claimed that
he viii grace the chair honored by our
earl or Presidents. and somewhat sullied
ny our later one. That, in the wise,
conservative policy of his administra-
ton. the country viii find that repose
from intestine strife, which will enable
Congress to attend to the great interests
LOT the country, instead of spending its
energies in efforts to advance mere To-
cal class interest at the expense of the
masses ofthe people. Lincoln, then, will
! be President, No l.
Then we have, secondly, Bell, of Ten
nessee, who, in the opinion of sundry
papers on our table, is absolutely sure of
being elected And this opinion, is, op-
paremty, honestly entertained by many
persons in the South, and even the Gin
cinnati Times thinks the opinion we'll
founded The friends of Mr.. Bell claim
that he will make the grandest President
we have ever had. And we have no dis
arrangements to cast upon him. AS
man; we are not prepared to deny to him
Tall the good qualities claimed for him
by his friends. It is true, that he is not
made by the convention which nomina-
ted him, to representany policy or meas
ure whatever, and simply asks the peo-
pie to place the destiny Of the country
in his keeping, to do with it as to him
may seem good This would be a very
large trust to place in the hands Of any
one man. But then, Mr.. Bell will not be
alone in the great office; for we have Just
seen that Lincoln is to be No. /.
And, thirdly, we have the most positive
assurance, backed by all kinds of offers
to bet that, Breckinridge, of KY, one of
the candidates of the "united and har-
monious Democracy will be elected
with perfect sweep. It is claimed for
him that, coming down through long
line of illustrious ancestors from one of
the First Families of Virginia" he has
in his veins the blood of the purest
Democratic Royalty. We have no proof
to offer against the claims set up in his
behalf by his admirers We we'll know
that four years ago, every Democrat in
this County, and throughout the country,
voted forhim for Vice President, and pro-
nounced him the ''rising man of the
country" }" and protested, that, for his age,
he Was the foremost statesman in all
the world, and surely destined to be
President. It is true, our Ohio Demo
Gratis now denounce him as a disunionist
and traitor to his country, but in this
they are probably mistaken. Certain it
is, he is the same man, and holding the
same sentiments as four years ago, when
they so highly eulogized and voted for
him. We thought then and still think,
that he was, by far, the superior of Bu-
chanan. We sincerely sympathize, how
ever, with our Ohio Democrats in their
misfortunes. All their patriots, before
election, unhappily turn out "taitoys'
afterward. We do not pretend to CEN
sure them for efecting such men. But
we cannot help pitying their uniform
misfortune. This, however, is a.digres-
sion. Breckenridge is to be elected, and
spread ahalo of imperishable glory upon
our country. Here, then, are three ex-
traordinary men, the special glory of the
age in which they live, and each one far
theesuperior, not only Of the other two,
but of all other living men, and all three
sure to be elected at once, and serve
this happy nation at the same time.
And .tomthly, according to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, Of the 24th and
which, being its Sunday issue, must be
truthful-Douglas, of ILL
nois, will be elected with an overwhelm-
ing majority. 1t says:
"a dispatch was sent over the wires
yesterday, from Baltimore, which carried
joy to the hearts of millions of the Ameri-
can people. Stephen A. Douglas is
nominated for President of the United
States, by the Convention of the great
Democratic party ofthe U''ion!' 0...
Now, it SO happens that the accounts
we have seen of the doings at Baltimore
that Douglas was nominated
by one of the broken fragments of the
after the President, and
delegates from nearly all the Demo-
cratic States had left and organized
the other wing, which nominated Breck-
inridge. But, as the Enquirer was
printed on Sunday, the editor would
hardly misrepresent matters of such
moment. Ifthe Enquirer tells the truth,
then Douglas was nominated by "the
great Democratic Convention of the
Uniou." But the Enquirer says further:
ain our judgment, the nomination of
Mr.. Douglas is equivalent to an election
by the people. He is by far the most
