POLITICAL ITEMS.

VIEWS OF A NEUTRAL.-The Washington cores
pondent Of the Baltimore Sun, neutral pape
with Democratic tendencies, in letter dated tb
1lth, gives his views of political events as fol
lows:
The fusion scheme proposed by the Democratic
State Committee of Pennsylvania has been reject
ed BY the Douglasites and by Douglas himself
The breckenridge and Douglas men will nowhere
cooperate in the Presidential election. The ex
position of Mr.. Douglas plan of political action
as it appears in the New York Times, in letters
from Newport, is very important He is to place
himself at the very head of the opposition to the
, election.
Tile Douglas Bell fusion in New York will. as
some assert, defeat Lincoln in that State but this
will be impossible If the Breekinridge electoral
ticket is to have 100000 votes. II half of the
Breckinridge men and all the Wings and Ame-
ricans should vote the Douglas and Bell ticket.
there would be a bare chance Of defeating Lin
colin. But a. matters now stand, Mr.. Stewards
boast of 81, GOO Republican majority in New York
over any Opposition ticket is not absurd.
The warnings which come from the South of
danger to the Union from the ascendancy of the
Republicans in the Federal Government are an
needed by some and derided by others, and by
not a few resented. Their effect really appears to
be befavorable to Black Republicanism.

refers to the disunon letter of Mr.. Orr, of Soutl
Carolina:
We think Mr.. Orrs sentiments in relation to Z
dissolution Of the Union are unseund and nischiey
Gus. II is just such letters as he and Mr.. Keit
have lately written, that have done much toward
creating the state of things which all patriotic mer
in the country sincerely deprecate.
