DOUGLAS IN OHIO.


acted with the Republican party, but who.
convinced of its sectional character and dis.
union tendencies, have declared themselves
for Douglas and johnson. The Marion
Union mentions the names of several who
have thus come out--among them, James
/. Reed and Bradford r. Durfee, hitherto
prominent Republicans. The Mount Ver>
non Banner counts the converts in that Sec
ton by scores. The Chilicothe Advertiser,
in its issue of the 9th ult., has the names
of quite number, among them two gentle
men elected to the city council on the Re-
publican ticket who have declared for
Douglas. The Dayton Empire says that
on the various Democratic clubs of that
county, can be found forty-two names of
men who have heretofore voted the Repub-
lican ticket, but will do so no more. The
Empire, in the same issue, chronicles the
names of at least one hundred prominent
citizens, and hitherto leading Republicans,
in different parts of the State, who have
announced themselves openly for Douglas.
The Douglas column is full of enthusiasm
the enemy waivers pour in the shot and
they will capitulate, without waiting for
November.
"Then raise the shout for Douglas, boys,
For Johnson. too huZZa.
Our nominees, the people please,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
"From East and West, from North and South,
Ring forth one battle.cry,
Ger hill and dale it pours along,
On, on to victory"
HIS OWN ELATIoN DESERTS HIM.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Democ
racy of Rock Island was held on the Both,
at which Mr.. Ninian Edwards, of Spring
field, and brother-in-law of Mr.. Lincoln
delivered most enthusiastic speech in fa>
vor of Judge Douglas. Mr.. E. has hither>

ELOQUENT AND PATRIOTIC.
The following patriotic extract we make
from Judge Douglas speech on the occa>
sion of his reception at Concord:
Then again, when you come to talk to
US about the dissolution of the Union, we
tell you, "No! Never" We trade south.
ward as we'll as northward. We furnish
the water that floats down the Mississippi,
as we'll as the water that flows through the
lakes to the St. Lawrence. We intend to
follow that water wherever it flows until it
mingles into the broad ocean. (Appause.)
We have social and commercial relations
with the South and the East alike. We
have the tie of country and of blood that
binds them together. When you tell US
that this Union is to be dissolved, we say
"Never!' for the reason that we never in
tend to travel into foreign country, and
obtain passport and have it vised by a
consul in order to visit the tombs of our
fathers, or the scenes of our childhood
Hence there is not man on the frontier
because we do love the Union, our motto is,
"never to do an act that would ALLEVIATE one
portion of the people from another" You
can only preserve the Union by maintain.
ing peace and harmony and concord among
the people of the different sections. Re.
member that one tie after another has al.
ready been severed. This fell spirit of Sec
tional strife has invaded the holy sanct-
uary, and separated the churches into chur>
ches North, and churches South. This fell
spirit of sectional strife has separated breth-
rem at the communion table. And when
you find spirit of strife so deadly that it
who does not love this glorious Union and
can sever social tie, and religious tie, and
political tie, what is your Constitution
worth, when you have made The people ene>
mics who live under it? You must bind
the hearts of this people together, if you
expect to maintain the Union. You can
only bind those hearts together, and mould
them into one. by observing those great
principles of justice and equity upon which
our whole system rests. (Cheers.)
POLITICAL MEETINGS.
A large Douglas club was organized at
Van Buren,, Ark, on the I'd. Ex.Gov.
DREW and other distinguished men made
speeches.
From all parts of the country-north and
south-we have accounts of monster demon
STATIONS. In New York, Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois, at the north, and in Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, and Georgia, at the
south, the Douglas meetings have not been
exceeded in point of numbers and enthusi-
asm since 1910. The telegraph and the
mails, bring US accounts of great number
of meetings, but we cannot find room to
notice them, even. 1t is enough to say that
in every part of the country, DOUGLAS is
gaining strength every day. L1NcoLN's de.
feat is fixed fact, and all we have to labor
for now, is to prevent the election going
to the House, and securing the triumph of
our candidate by majority of the electoral
college.
