Louis Republican, which it says is the leading Dem

old Wing organ IN that State, and when the Balpsrs
party-the Know Nothings- sprung up, that paper
refused 70 take up dark lantern, and has since CO

The Banner adds:

The Huntsville Advocate occupies the same posi-

an ultra Southern secession paper and it is quite
likely would prefer DOUGLAS to BREcENRDGE. The

We have italicized some of the more significant

very significant We are told here in the first place
by leading Democratic organ at Washington City
that the future success of the great National
Democratic party"-a party which we are told has
often saved the Union, and which IS now so lnds-
pensable to ITS safety-'is almost wholly dependent
upon one iadiUdU0t' Though that one individual
combined in himself all the ability and patriotism Of

from your northern allies. This from the men whose

We cannot believe that the Independent masses Of

impertinent masters into the support OF a man
and a dogma so offensive to them and inimical to
their rights Whatever the leaders may dictate, for
selfish purposes the rank and file will repudlate
Douglas and squatter sovereignty.
