: phia Press gives q cold and rathe
= halting support to DOUGLAS. 1t say
: it WILL support him but adds that tn
I "PREss will n no respect be part
2 newspaper" also, that 1T can scarce
ly 90 further in yindicating him tina!
: it has already gone" and conclude
I pertinently by informing the DougIa
: men that 1t can engage in no war uy
on Lincoln and his friends.
The Philadelphia LEDGER takes I'll,
matter coolly, and is busy prcparin.
itself fer submitting to a Republican
triumph. 1t says
The effect will be to divide til,
strength OF the Democratic party anC
cause its defeat. But as both conyen
tioDs seemed to be working 10 thi:
end, the result may not be so disas-
trous TO the country as some suppose
The Republican party. if it should be
successful, will wish, for It's own sake,
to preserve the Union. and if the
Southern States viii abide the issue
long enough to see what the policy OF
the Republican party will be, it is
probable they will find itmore COnser-
vatiye than they expect. There is 4
vast deal Of difference between being
in power and out OF it, and a taste Of
the fat things Of pu5lic place, VIII
probably operate as q soothing upon
the radicalism Of the Republicans, as
it has often done upon their oppO-
nents. At any rate, they will try and
avoid the disgrace Of severing the
country into sectional divisions while
the government is in their hands.
Let all keep cool, then, and be prcpa-
rcd to enjoy this four-cornerci Presi-
Dental game which is about TO en>uo,
so as to extract all its fun without
any Of its bitterness and auimOsities."
The New York HERALD admits
that the Democratic party has gone
to everlasting smash. II regards the
party as dead, and all attempts to re-
suscitate it as idle. The election OF
Lincoln and Hamlin is, in the HER
AIDS eyes, a foregoAe conclusion, and
it advises the country 10 be prepared
for an event which is inevitable.
The TOLEDO BLADE exposes anoth-
er forgery which has originated in
the n. Y. HERALD. That journal
has said, that, in a speech in isis,
Mr.. LINCOLN used the following Ian
guage
If | should ever conclude to doff
whatever there is of black-cockadc
Federalism about me, and thereupOn
they should take me up as their can
didate for the Presidency, ! protest
they shall no; make fun Of me-
The speech from which the HERALD
oretendS 10 quote. was delivered on
The 9th Of July, lsiS, after the nom
nation Of Gen. Cass for the Prcsi-
icncy. In the course OF his remarks.
Mr. Lincoln alluded TO the chain Of
-aluable military services then made
" the Democrats for Gen. Cass, and
after ironically comparing the same
with his own services in the Black d.
Iawk war, Mr.. Lincoln said:
Mr.. Speaker If | should ever !
conclude to dof whatever OUR DEMO )
Ratio FRIENDS MAY SUPPOSE there is
# black cockade Federalism about 1.
ne, and thcreupon they shall take me :
.p as their candidate for the Presi-
.ency, | protest they shall not make
IN of me, As THEY HAVE OF GEN.
Ass, By ATTEMPTING TO WRITE NE =
MO 4 MILITARY HERO. =
The words in small caps, so essen d
Ial 10 a correct understanding Of
lr. Liucoln's language, are entirely 4
mitted by the HERALD, and he is Y
lade to say Just what he did not say. :.
Ic is no "black cockade Federalist, h
lough be is to succeed one in office. Y
