expenses for the biggest meeting ever held in
the interior Of the State. Three farmers have
offered fat oxen for the barbecue, another has
given three acres Of potatoes, another two acres,
and so through the list of eatables, and of far
mers.
The coalition in New York between the Bell
and the Douglas men is a little shaky. Ten
Bell men were placed the Douglas electoral
ticket, as the Douglas managers say to vote for
Douglas in any event. On the other hand the
Bell organs claim that the ten, if the ticket is
elected are to vote for Bell. Conflicting ac-
counts OF this political trade are told by the
leaders, and trouble is brewing. In the mean
time the rank and file of the late American
party in that State will vote for Lincoln. Set
Town New York, on TIE authority of Thurlow
Weed and William IL. Seward, as good for So
600 majority for Lincoln and Hamlin.
"Tiuck and dicker" don't seem to work i'll
Pennsylvania. The Douglas men won't listen
to the syren songs of the Breckenridge men for
u coalition. They evidently believe that play
ing into the hands of the administration is not
likely to help their favoritc. On the other
hand all opposed to the democracy are united,
and Simon Cameron-no mean authority in
Pennsylvania politics-says that the majority
of Lincoln in the Keystone State will be over
10000.
The election in Maine for State officers and
members of Congress, will be held a week from
Tuesday next. With a popular candidate for
governor, and six new men in the field for Con-
grcss, the campaign is quite spirited. Meetings
are daily held in different parts of the State
and they are more numerously attended than
even in 1886. We believe the Maine ltepubli-
cans are working hard for 10000 majority.
We are having a new order of things in our
Presidential election this year. Candidates are
expected to urge their own claims and qualif-
cations on public attention. At least this is the
democratic view of the campaign. Douglas,
under the guisc of visiting his dear and doating
mother is s~tumping the country, exhibiting his
own oratorial powers and the charms of his ac-
complished wife. Breckenridge has also decided
to mount the stump. We do not know as any
harm can come from this. These candidates

that is of no consequence to anybody but them
selves. We think neither of these candidates
will in the least improve his position by his
stump speeches. There is one consolation,
however-they cannot make it any worse than
it now is.
The great strife between Breckenridge and
Douglas is to see which will be the third candi-
date in case the election goes to the House of
Representatives. 1t is generally conceded now,
we infer, that Bell viii lead them both. Fight
it out gentlemen candidates! The Republicans
in the mean time will obviate any difficulty that
might otherwise occur, by electing Abraham
Lincoln.
"Perley' Of the Boston Journal, since the
adjournment OF Congress, has crossed and re-
crossed the Alleghanies, and visited the West.
He says 1.-Two items have been prominent
everywhere. The crops are magnificent, and
Mr. Lincoln is sure to be elected by the people
to the Presidency of the United States. These
are the tidings | bring from the Ohio valley and
the great Lakes. Selah!'
Some of Broderick's personal friends in Cal
iforria have become breckenridge men, and
then deserted the martyr Senator so shamcfully.
Said ex-Gov. McDougal, at a public meeting in
San Francisco, 81 don't want to be compliment
tary, but | believe Broderick kicked better men
out of his door than Stephen A. Douglas ever
was or ever can be-" Nothing does the Doug
las party in California SO much injury as this
fact.
Alexander II. Stephens of Georgia and his
brother, Linton Stephens, who lately resigned
his seat on the Supreme Court Bench of that
State, have both taken the stump for Douglas.
Gen. Houston has at last taken himself out
of the field as a Presidential candidate. How
does Col. Gill Of Greenfield stand effected hy
this movement? We believe he was running
for Vice President on the same ticket. Pratt
. and Mellen have not yet concluded to withdraw
o Herschcl V. Johnson of Georgia, the candi-
Il date for the Vice Presidency on the Douglas
: ticket, said in a recent speech at Augusta, Ga,
that if any one could prove to him that Mr.
Douglas was in favor of squottcr sovereignty,
q he would vote for Mr. Breckenridge.
G who killed Cock robin p' Il said the spar

Buck to both Of lhem. YOU say the South
