New-York for Douglas.

The DoUGLAs State Convention st Sy-
racuse last week, nominated an electoral
ticket, composed of twenty FIVE regular
DoUGLAs Democrats and ten Old Line
Wings, or Union men. 1t is believed that
this combination winds up the LINCOLN
bobbin in tie State of New York. The
BREcKISRIDGE ticket will be Withdrawn,
leaving only the Black Republican Lin
coin ticket in opposition.
The New York Hrald, which has
heretofore claimed the State as sure for
LINCOLN, admits that this union of the
conservative and patriotic men of the
State, upsets all its former calculations,
and ensures the certain defeat of the
Black Republicans. We quote from the
Herald Of the 18th inst;
"Some of the Black Republican jour
mails, which have already taken the alarm
from the signs of the times, stigmatize
the union on the Presidential electoral
tithCL WHICH ldS 10" btCu SoCui gu III ltiAS
State as union of factions, a combina
ton of cliques, and an organization of
demagogues aud they are endeavOring
to cry it down and turn we'll meaning peo-
pie against it. But their efforts are in
vain. The union has sprung up from the
hearts of the people, and has triumphed
in spite Of the factions leaders, and cor
rupt demagogues aud wire pulling cliques,
This union ticket will sweep New York,
aad the commercial and manufacturing
states, contiguous to it, in November next,
as the wiirIwind sweeps the western prai-
RE. The sticks and chaf of Black Re
publicanism will be scattered by it, Dever
again to be united in a great political par
u. The conservative revolution will be
AS complete here as it has been in the
South, and the new proclamation of the
higher law by Seward and the Lincoln de-
structives will only tend to hasten and in
crease its triumph

Democratic Conventions.

At The Convention for this Assembly
District, bed at Two Rivers on Saturday
last, Messrs. JosEPH Villas, Jr., ofthis vii
Iage, and H. s. PIERPoST, Of Two Rivers,
were elected delegates to the Congression-
al Convention which assemblies at Fond
du Lac to day The election of Mr.. Villas
was a proper one, and acceptable to the
party. But why the Convention was
obliged to resort to Mr. PIERPoNT is a
mystery which no one, to our knowledge,
has yet been able to solve. Mr. p. is an
open and avowed opponent Of Judge DorG-
LAS, and probably not two members of the
Convention which nominated him would
sustain his political views in the present
canvass. His selection, under the circum
stances, is very questionable one, and
gives universal dissatisfaction to almost
every member Of the party. Not being
present in the District at the time, we
have learned none of the circumstances,
but our belief is that his election is entire
Iy owing TO the carelessness of the Demo
cratic voters of the District. In this town
less than one fourth Of the Democrats at
tended the caucus. The same can be said
of Two Rivers, and Cooperstown was not
represented at all Here is a lesson to
our Democratic friends, which they should
heed in future, viz: if they wish good and
proper men elected to office, they must at
tend the primary caucuses. If they do
not attend them, derlagogue, are always
sure to manage the business for them,
whether they like it or not. The lesson is
plain, and he who runs may read. VIII
the mass OF the Democracy suffer them~
selves to be cheated by their own inefii-
cheney, or will they manage their own at
fairs! We shall see

Democrats Beware

We understand that the editor Of the
Herald and the few dupes which hang to
his coat-tail, are endeavoring to coax Dem
ocra.s away from the true faith by repre-
senting to them that there's 10 chance FOR
DoUeLAs carrying the State, and hence
their opposition to him. Was ever such
nonsense attempted to be palmed off upon
sensible men. DOUGLAS no chance of car.
rying Wisconsin, Let those who cherish
such falsity, visit Milwaukee and watch
the enthusiasm for the Little Giant. y
Let them count the hundreds of Germans
who strayed from US a few years ago, now
returned already, and the hundreds more
daily joining our ranks. Let them visit
the woods OF Ozaukee, Sheboygan, and
Washington, and witness the warmth of
feeling exhibited for our candidate. Let
them go through the prairies of the inter
ior, and on their return we will guarantee
such delu,ion will be abandoned. AS
sure as the sun sets on election day, 50
sure will DOUGLAS carry New York, Hi
nois, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maine,
Rhode Island, Indiana, Wisconsin, and all
but two of the Southern States. Let not
our Democratic friends be duped by any
such bait. Let every man stand by his
colors-those carried by DOUGLAS and
JoHNsoN-let the timid and wavering ex-
hibit hope, courage, and energy-let every
man bid defiance to the cohorts of LINCOLN
and BaECKENRIDGE, aud not only will
Wisconsin go for DOUGLAS, but will give
him ten thousand majority.
Stand to your guns, boys. Trust in
Providence, and keep your powder dry
If the editor Of the Herald has sold him
self, it is no reason why you, too, should
be bought like sheep in the shambles.

No Union with Traitors.

The following article from the MiIwau-
kee Peoples Press is so full of good sense
and accords with our feelings and those
of every true Democrat in the State. that
we copy it with pleasure;
Some of themore innocent of the friends
of BREoKIHRIDGE, who regard the contest
as merely personal between him and DoUG-
LAS, ask occasionally why we cannot com
promise on union ticket. They do not
seem to be aware that there is any such
thing as principle involved in the election,
or any other object than division Of the
spoils Of victory. Such a compromise
would be corrupt, unprincipled and demon
alizing to both. We, who make popular
sovereignty the basis Of our party action,
would be dishonored in accepting Congress
sional dctation; and they Eho deny the
right Of the people to control their own
domestic institutions and demand slave
code, could not consistently stand upon
| our platform. Beside, such a compromise
would be in violation of all party usage ;
1t would be requiring ninety nine hundreds
OF the party to make terms with the other
fraction, and thus end wholesome ma.
jority rule. That fraction have a most
undoubted right to leave the party; but
having done so, they have no further
claims upon it as psrty men. They must
either Weld their preferences to the clear
ly expressed viii of the majority, or 90
/ out from among US.

A SURE THTEG.-In the State Of New
York, the BELL and EVERETT men have
come to the conclusion that it is necessa-
ry to defeat the LINCOLN ticket in that
State at all events, and Union ticket is
got up which will give the State to DoUG-
LAS. This is but the commencement Of a
movement that will secure to DOUGLAS al
most every Southern State, together with
a great proportion of the Northern States,
and render bis election by the Electoral
College a certainty.

Judge Douglas hal an enthusiastic re
ception at Norfolk, Virginia, and spoke in
the presence of six thousand people. In
the middle of his address sip OF paper
was handed 20 him. 1t was from the
Norfolk Daily Argus, and contained two
political items. Tbe first is, if Abraham
Lincoln be elected President OF the United
States would the Southern States be iusti
fed in seeding from the Union? To this
question Mr.. Douglas said q etnphati-
cally answer no. Great appause) The
election of man to the Presidency by
the American people in conformity with
! the constitution of the United States
would not justify any attempt Of dissolving
this glorious confederacy." (Applause
The second question was, if they. the
| Southern States, aecede from the Union
upon the Inauguration of Abraham Lin
coin before he commenced an overt act
against their constitutional rights, will
you advise or vindicate resistance by force
to their secession? =" | answer emphati-
calIy, that !: is the duty OF the President
Of the United States, and all others in au
.hority under him, to enforce the laws Of
the United states passed by Congress, aud
as the Courts nave eXpounded them; ana
as [ am deeply bound by my oath and f.
deity to the constitution, would do all in
my power to aid the government of the
United States in maintaining The suprena
cy of the laws against all resistance to
them, come from whatever quarter it
might In other words, [ think the Pres
| ident OF the United States should treat all
attempts to break up the Union by resist
auce to its laws, as old Hickory treated
the notification in 1882" (Applause)

The Congre sstonaI ApportfOn-
ment under the New Census.

The aggregate number Representatives
iu Congress is not fixed by the Coustitu
ton, which simply requires that the num-
beI OF representatives, shall not exceed one
for every 10000 inhabitants, and that each
State shall have at least one representative.
The number Of representatives, in fact, has
varied under different appointments !;
but by act Of Congress in 1850, it was fix
ed at 233, and that viii be the number to
control the next appoltionrnent. The
present actual number of representatives. is
tour larger, namely 237, because since the
apportionmeut of lc50, one additional
representative has been allowed TO Caller
MA, two to Minnesota, and one to Oregon.
Bat this temporary increase viii cease
.lh the 9th Congress, for which the
elections are made this fall, and the aPpor-
tionnent under the new census will 70
store the number TO 233.
The aggregate representative population,
A. IS well known, is ascertained, in tile
words Of the Constitution, "by adding to
the whole number of free persons (incIud-
ing those bound to service for term Of
years, and excluding Indians not taxed)-
three fifth of all other persons" In other
words, the aggregate population OF the
whole Union, slaves included, Is diminish
ed BY deduction Of two-ffths ofthe mum
Der slaves. In 80 the aggregate free pop
ulation was 10, SAT COL; the slaves were
1920, 634, aud the representative popula-
ton was accordingly 21,767 ,613. This
number, divided By 232, gave the ratio
3,432, already mentioned. It's general
ly expected that the aggregate population
under the present census will be found to
have increased to thirty or thirty three
millions, for the purpose of the apportion
rneut, making the constitutional deduction
for slaves, it will no: probably exceed 30,
600 900. Dividing this by 233, We shall
have about lbs, 500 a. the ratio for the
representative.
