Of Oregon.


The Democratic party has long been ia
NOUS for having two sets of principles, one
for the north and another for the south,
but they have heretofore managed to have
the SAINT presidential candidate represent
both and carry two faces, (the present &C.
cupant ofthe White House being a remark
able example of success in that line but
the Democrat greatly improves upon the
old idea, and actually hoists at its head,
two tickets at once. True, the editor has
only had 'time to glance at them" but as
the news of the nominations reached here
on Saturday night, and full accounts were
received on Monday forenoon, as the Demo-
crat vas issued on Thursday, three days
after, the glance must have been slightly
prolonged. We should suppose a cOntin-
uance of that kind of glanees might prove
hurtful to his political vision.
He says: douglas and Johnson were
nominated at the Theatre, and Brecken-
ridge and Lane at the Maryland institute" "
He is laboring under a slight mistake 50
far as the frat ticket Is concerned. Fitz-
patrick of Alabama was nominated for Vice
President on the ticket with Douglas, by
the Convention at tho Theatre, but he per-
emptorily declined, and would not get out
Of his bed to answer the delegates sent to
announce to him the great honor. The
Convention having adjourned, half a dozen
Douglas men having at last found a man
who was willing to have his name Oh the
same ticket with Douglas, very kindly
saved the party at large all further trouble,
and put on it the name Of HerscheH V. John
son of Georgia. This viii be satisfactory,
Sithout doubt, for it is very unlikely that
anybody will contest the honor () with
Mr.. johnson.
We really sympathize with our neighbOr.
and regret that he is Hpder the necessity of
attempting that very difficult performance,
..carrying water on both shoulders"
He will probably furnish another instance
Of the truth of the prQYerb, between two
stools a man is apt to fall to the ground
His contemporaries somewhat vary the
programme. The MahOning Sentinel hOists
both tickets, but says, for itself, indi-
ridually, it cannot fail to recognize Steph-
en- A. Douglas and Benjamin Fitzpatrick
as the regular nominees of the national
democracy.
Tue Portage Sentinel is out for Doug
las and Fitzpatrick, ard ignores Broken
ridge.
The Stubcnville Union, Ike the
Democrat, is astride the fence and hOists
10th tickets.
The Cleveland National Democrat sup
pots Breckenridge, and the Cleveland Plain
dealer pitches in for Douglas. These two
last named paper are having a regular
Kilkenny fight,
Of some of the others, the Clcve. Herald
says:
The Ci;case HERALD is to come out for
Breckenridge and Lane. The Boston Post
has already hoisted that flag The Ash
land Union hoists the flag Of Douglas
The Boston Herald favo-s Douglas a little.
The Louisville Democrat is Douglas all
over. The Richmond Inquirer spits on
douglas AMI proclaims breckenridge. The
Washington Star predicts the failure Of
Douglas to obtain a single electoral vote.
The NorwaIk Experiment is out sor Doug
las and Fitzpatrick. The New London
1Ct) Star and the Philadelphia Pen"SyL-
roniqn hoist 10 names, but mourn over
the split and refuse 70 be c~omfoyted. The
stark Co. Dezocrat and the DepocFatic
paper in Carrolton, Ohio. hoist The Rreck-
enr;lse flag. The Madison (Wi$1 4rgus
& Democrat ..haIts between two opinions"
bat is more than half inclined to support
Breckenridge. The Brooklyn q. y Ea-
ale throws over Douglas and HOSTS the
Breckenridge standard.
