at GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin.
A REcRu1r.-Mr. fGiIlet, the Demo.
cratic Postmaster at Ravenna, Ohio,
has declared for Lincoln and Hamlin.
Sensible Gillet!
]. T. Cunningham, of Cole County,
ILL.,, an old, wealthy and popular man,
has been nominated for Congress in
the 18th District, by the Republicans.
His election is considered certain.
Hon. John w. Noel, of Missouri,
having declared for Mr.. Douglas,
Charles Jones, Esq. of Franklin county,
has come out as a Breckenridge candi-
date for Congress in opposition to him.
The California correspondent of the
New York Coariersand Enquirer says
Mr.. Lincoln will receive many thous-
ands of votes there which would not
have been given for any other promin-
emit Republican.
Douglas and Johnson's names hav-
ing been hoisted at the head of the
Jackson Co. Qnd.) Union, in the alb
sence of the editor, he, on his return,
hauled it down, and says he does not
intend to hoist them until he can make
up his mind to vote for them, which he
does not now feel like doing"
Messrs. Yates and Allen, Republican
and Douglas nominees for Governor of
Illinois, are to anvass the State to-
gether and discuss the merits of their
respective parties-unless Allen, the
Douglas nominee, backs out of has
proposition, which he seems likely to
do.
Ferdinand Z. Day, Esq, former
Sheriff of Orleans county, New York,
until now an active opponent of the
Republican party, has joined the Lin
coin army, and made a speech in sup
port of Lincoln and the Republican
ticket" at a recent Convention in that
county.
LoUsIANA.-Hon. T. g. Davidson,
Representative from the Third Congress
sional District of Louisiana, has taken
the stump for Breckenridge and Lane.
Hon. w. E. Bonligny, who last winter
announced his intention of supporting
Dir. Douglas, has declared for Bell and
Everett. Mr.. Bouligny's colleague. is
a supporter of MI. Douglas.
Hon. John Hickman, the bold and
fearless Congressman from Pennsylva.
MIA, will cordially support Lincoln. He
was a Douglas man until at the open
ing OF the last session of Congress,
Douglas truckled SO completely to the
South ; and then, becoming disguised
at him, took his stand with the Repub.
licans.
WANTS To FUSE WITH AMERICANS,
ABoLITIoNIsTs AND 'OLD LINE Wines.
The Washington Star thinks that
the union of the two factions of the
Democracy would be followed by the
detection of thousands of the friends
of Mr.. Douglas to the Republicans.
1t therefore urges a fusion of the three
anti Republican parties as necessary to
carry doubtful Northern States.
DELAwARE.-Four distinct tickets
for President, are to be run in this
State, and but two for State Officers
and Congress, termed respectively the
Democratic" and the "people's.'
The latter will be supported by both
the Lincoln and the Bell men, as the
former will by the Breckenridge and
Douglas men. The two parties are
very nearly equal in strength, but the
Peoples party are quite confident Of
success.
New JERsEY.-Of the six journals
that supported Fillmore in this State
in 1855, four now support Lincoln, one
is neutral and the other goes for Bell,
while two others started as "Ameri-
an" since 1856, are now for Lincoln,
who has to-day more New Jersey jour
nails supporting him than those for
Douglas, Breckenridge and Bell all to-
gether. Several Republican papers
from the start are edited by jealous
supporters of Fillmore in so.
TENNESSEE. : Hon. Horace May
nard, of Tennessee, spoke at Knoxville
on the 18th. No candid man, he said,
believed that there was a remote chance
of electing either Breckenridge OF
Douglas, while he regarded the chan
ces of Lincoln al decidedly good for
an election, but would deplore such an
event. He urges a union on Bell and
Everett. The Nashville Banner an.
