Another and new uct in tie great Drama of
Politics has been enncted, the actors have re.

and tue audience has b zen dismissed TO reflect
on lie moral Of the play. 4 plain matter Of

Convention and the numerous committee
charged with the interests OF the Bell aud Ever
eft party hare come and gone, coalition on
one electoral ticket, whereof Douglas has
twenty-five aud Bell lan, has been ELECTED, and
everybody is left to say what be thinks abousit.

pnses, it il far to presume, are no. bounded By
Tie circumstances OF the hour. What was thai
plan, and what do these thio,s portend7
0t course We all understand that the declared
purpose is to taks the State from Lincoln and
divide the electors between Douglas and Bell.
Il the fusion WIS going 10 accomplish this, then
there would be no further query ia the case.
But with thlrd electoral ticket already in the

His present business is to get party that will
