alton, and says it does not become him to
shrink from the responsibility Of the post
assigned; opposes doctrine of non-interven-
tionby Congress, or Territorial Legislature;
thinks it the plain duty of the Federal
Government when necessary, TO secure citi-
zens of the States enjoying rights in the
Territories. No progress has been made
in the coalition of the two factions on one
ticket in any State. Douglas men proposes
to call State Convention of delegates, or
mass meeting to fll vacancies in the Elec-
toral ticket OF New Jersey. The Breckin-
ridge men talk of pursuing the same course
