The New York Herald which has been
Iaboring for Breckenridge, Is discourgl, and
says. We feel authorized to announce to
the money contributors Of all parties and
factions concerned, that they will be acting
wisely this time to treat all applications
for money for Presidential purposes in this
campaign with a Hat refusal to give a cop
per. There is no necessity for any such
contributions to the cause of Old Abe
Lincoln, and all moneys bestowed TO aid
il the work Of clecting either Breckenridge.
Bell or Douglas. are moneys fOolishly
thrown away. The result Of the election
is Il foreaonc conclusion. Lincoln Will be
elected; not only 50, but from present ap-
p~cearanccs he viii walk over the course.
How can a ~bclcaCured city stand against
a formidable outside enemy with the forces
Of the garrison divided into hostile parties
and fighting among themselves? The
democracy are involved in the wars of the
roses. The Douglas faction wear tn white
rose of York. and the Brcckinridge
faction sport the red rose of Lancaster
There arc also six Richmonds in the field.
exclusive of the Dean of the Albany Re
ecncy. And with what an JUNCTION do the
Douglas and the Breckenridge factions
pitch into each other. If we may believe
the one side, Breckenridge is a disuuionist,
a eonspirator, a secession fire eater, and
Mr.. Bucdauan's administration is the most
corrupt despotism the world has ever seen;
if VIC may credit the other side, Douglas
is 4 Demagogue. a TRAITOR, an abolition in
cendiary in the fimsy disguise Of squatter
sovereignty, and is only playing the game
of Van Buren, Of I84S.
Thus on the side of Douglas we find his
organs and orators, North and South. East
and West, almost entirely overlooking the
existence of Lincoln. while they are pour
ing their shot and shells. grape, canister
and musketry, front and flank, into the
Breckenridge Democracy. And the same
holds good with the Breckenridge faction,
though not to the same extent. Meantime
the Bell and Everett pipelayers confess
their weakness before they have made any
trigl of their strength, have been bObbing,
bobnobbing around, patching up in one
rlace a trade with the Breckenridge men.
selling ont in another place to Douglas on
trust; here see ing to sandwich themselves
between Breckenridge and Douglas, and
there urging on the fight between the two
factions, SO that the Bell ana Everett tex
ct may be slipped in between them.
But with the democracy on all sides 60
ing to the dogs, what is the use of money
to them in this campaign? The thing is
fixed. The republicans have it all their
own way, and the documents from their
distributing committee at Washington. and
Gr.ely's documents, are all 50 much vast
ed paper. They might Just as well 90 at
once to the grocer's at two cents a pound,
as to be sent oil over the country, lumber
iGg up the mails, and only to be sent at
last to the grocery. In short, while it is
folly to waste money for B~recSinridge, Bell
or Douglas in this canvass, upon wander
ing stumpers and %loafers who can do moth
ing. it is useless to be thowing money away
for Lincoln orators organs, clubs and va
grant miDstrels and Greeley's documents,
when it is clear that Lincoln can do Just
as we'll without them. The Democracy
have arranged it that he shall be elected,
and raising of funds for his cause or any
other cause is sheer nonsense.
