Not Right.

! We are panied to see the cause of some
OF the Democratic Journals in this as we'll
as other States with reference to the two
candidates who ale now before the Dem
ocratic party for President
Some of them seem to give only their
own personal feelings in the matter in
the most reckless Misunderstanding both
Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Breckenridge in an
outrageous manner. We could name
quite numter of this class of Journals
