The New YoRK DEAocRAcY.-We publish
today . somewhat caustic letter from Hon.
Frederick Follett, formerly Canal Commission
er Of this State, to Mayor Wood, touching the
late Douglas letter of Ellis Excellency" to Mr.
Van Allen. Mr. Follett takes the Mayor pretty
roundly 70 task for going over to the treacherous
Albany Regency, and shows how lr. Brackin-
ridge may be elected without the vote Of New
York. Considering the fermentation going ON
among the Democracy Of the State, this letter
Of Mr.. Foiett's win be read with interest by all
concerned. He has clear perception Of the
hopelcsaness of the cause Of Mr. Douglas, what
ever may be the issue of this Presidential con-
test, asd Of the great value Of the solid vote Of
The South There also appears to be sort Of
ground swell among the Democracy ON this SUBJ

The BONNET BUsiNEss.-Foxboro,, and not
Franklin, il undoubtedly the largest place Of
straw manufacture in Massachusetts,, If not in the
world At the Union Straw Works of the
Messrs. Carpenter, in Foxboro', $50 girls and
about 30 men are employed. The girls average
81 and the men S. per day. They employ ITO
men and girls at a branch factory at Nantucket,
and 400 at another in Medield. They also give
employment to $500 women outside of the fac
tories. The capital Of the company is $500, 900;
their sales last year we're $l,30OO00. $4,000
per month is required for the payment Of wages,
while some $4,000 hats and bonnets are manufac-
tu.ed per day. They also give employment to an
extensive box factory in the town. But small
portion Of the straw goods used are platedtn this
country, the wages Of labor being too high here
to afford it at the same rate at which it can be
imported

SHOOTING AFFRAr.-A great number Of peo-
pie assembled at Reynolds course, three miles
below the city, on the afternoon of the 4th, to
witness horse race. AS is usual on such &C.
casions good deal Of bad whisky ard other
liquors were consumed. Toward night quar-
rel occurred between John Teef, waiter in the
Hcmenway House, and B Rice, late Of Salt Lake
From words they proceeded to blows, and were
in a kind Of scutfiing fight, when James Innis, 4
friend to Rice, coolly drew his pistol, and step
ping up, placed the muzzlc to Teef's neck aud
fred. The ball passed through the neck, from
side to side, just grazing the back Of the spinal
colamn. 1t was thought that Teef was killed,
and a movement was made to arrest Innis, but
his friends surrounded him and bid defiance to
the crowd, freely fourishing their knives and
pistols, and heaping opprobrous epithets upon
those who talked Of making the arrest, calling
them id towards, SC. Innis and his friends
returned to the city and in the evening he wa,
started out 81 town, on horse ledby friend; he
being too drunk to manage the animal himself
Tcef was removed to the Hemenway and
placed under the charge Of Dr. Hamilton. who
thinks him in fair way Of recovery Rocky

CHANCES IN THE HoUsE-LINcoLN Or LANE
WILL BE PREsIDENT.-Altheugh the possibility
OF the election OF the next President going to
the House of Representatives is very remote
yet it excites SOME specuiatons as to the result
the compatibility Of the House entering large
ly. of course, into every calculation. And prob
ably no men have counted more confidently
upon this than the leading supporters of Mr.
Douglas-and with some show Of reason, too,
for with fair field they would doubtless beat
the world in offering brides. But the field is
hardly an even battle ground. Of the thirty
three votes which the entire House will cast, Mr.
Douglas has only one-that of his own State
Mr.. Bell is in the same predicament. Mr. Lin
coin has fifteen, and three Statcs-Kentucky,
Maryland and North Carolina-are evenly Gi-
vided. SO Mr.. Douglas friends would have ratl-
err strong odds against them. With Delaware
they think they might drive a trade. Breekin-
ridge, on the other hand, has only to buy up one
in each of these three pivotal States, and three
Americans in Tennessee, and his fortune is made
The logic of this should be very plain to Doug
las men. II they really wish to preserve their
organization as party-to trample down those
who have left their camp TO follow the banner Of
suceession-if they wish to make their power
felt-let them vote for Lincoln, and remove even
the remotest possibility Of the election Of
Breckenridge by the House, or Lane by the Sen.
ate, 10 the Presidency Of the United States.

HEATED WIND SToRM.-A heated wind storm
passed over portion Of Kansas on the It'll inst.
which proved nearly as destructive to animal
life as the recent tornadocs which visited with such
terrible effect portions Of Iowa. The wind arose
about half-past 10 o'clock A. N. and continued
until o'clock in the afternoon. At o'clock
the mercury rose to 1879 and continued 80 for
about an hour, and then gradually began to de-
crease. The effect can scarcely be imagined.-
The wind blew brisk gale, carrying 18th it a
salty, snlphurous smell. Two men in attempting
20 eros the country from Iosla y Humboldt, Ids
tant eight miles,) were ovaFtakcn and persisted.
There were three others ut Humboldt. who were
caught out with teams, which persisted, the men
alone surviving, and arc now in fair way 10 re-
cover. There was scarcely chicken left in the
country. Hogs and cattle fell in their tracks
and snitocaed. Various reasons and conicctures
as to It's eau IL arc given hut vii Unsatisfactory.

he stands upon the pfo-slavery platform.
do not deem il advisable to vote for Douglas
for the following reasons:
LIST. lie cannot he elected.
70. Voting for him Only increases the chances
OF the election of pro-slavery man. a
3i The resolution adopted at Baltimol e, v hich
is endorsed by Mr.. Douglas, in his letter accept
ing the nomination, substantially concedcs, so
far az principle is concerned all that the seces-
sionists demanded. 1t virtually declares that the
Democratic party will not only abide BY the

which means intervention" if it means any
thing.
4th. The ultras of the South, by their action
in the National Convention, and elsewhere, have
forced upon the Union men of the North the ne
cessity Of taking one extreme or the other upon
the slavery qnestion--zny choice is the extreme
for freedom, rather thnn the extreme for slavery.
lintend, therefore, to vote for Abral am Lin

be elected and that his election will t, ach the
pro-slavery men Of the South proftabls lesson,
while at the same time it will further The best

ANOTHER OLD LINE DExocRAT FOR I.IscoLN.-
Mr. A. Menges, Of this city, an Old Line German
Democrat, seeing his pa, ty divided into two pro-
slavery factions, each pledged to federal inter-
ference for the protection Of slavery in the terri
tories, mas come out for lincoln and Hamlin.-
Mr.. Menges was for thirty years the Assistant
Rank Comptroller Of thas State, when the State
Government was in the hands Of the Democratic
party, and in that position established high
character, both for business capacity az integ-
rity. lie is well known in the State, and is a
popular man with all classes, but especially with
his fellow conference.-the Germans.
The ranks of the Democracy are rapidly thin
