Forney's Press Douglass in alead-
ing editorial says:
There can now happily be no more
baking Of the great questions envolv-
ed in the Presidential struggle. The
reasons in favor of combination
against Abraham Lincoln, however
they may have operated prior to the
election decided yesterday, and how
ever they may operate in advance of
that which is to be decided on the
first Tuesday of November coming,
cannot be effective when men come to
choose between candidates, each of
whom represents a principle antago-
nistic to the other. < = Every
fusion in the free states, therefore, is
intended to promote the election of
John G. Breckenridge, to the Presiden-
cv nf the United States.
The Pennsylvania (Breckinridge)
says:
Our defeat is as much due to the
treachery Of pretended friends, as to
the bold treason-of open foes. Not
withstanding the gross frauds and
unparalleled trickery resorted to by
the enemy, we carried the city Of
Philadelphia by a decisive majority,
and if the country had but done its
duty, the tale would have been far
different. This contest has been con-
Quoted on the Democratic side under
every circumstance of disadvantage. =
Crippled by divisions in our own ranks
paralyzed by the treachery of preten-
ded friends and embarrassed by the
waht Of sympathy from abroad, we
have had to encounter an enemy not
only full of zeal and energy, not only
INSCRIPTIONS in the means it employ
ed, but we have had to fight against
the consolidated capital, the concen-
trated energy and the combined STRAIT
egy of the whole Black Republican
organization throughout the Northern
States.
The Pennsylvania also makes this
acknowledgement to its Bell and Ev-
erett friends:
Our acknowledgements are due, and
we gratefully tender them, to the pas
riotic and conservative friends Of the
Bell Everett ticket, for the generous
support they yesterday gave to our
cause, in generally casting their votes
fer Gen. Foster. Against Col. Cur
tin, the sectional candidate, they as
an organization. set their faces, and
having no candidate of their own in
the field, like patriots they adopted
ours. If they have not been success
full by the election of some of their
own local candidates, it is not attrib-
utable to any want of sympathy.
The North american Republican,
says:
After all the flourish Of trumpets
on the part of the Bell and Everett
managers, and the promises of q sup
port far stronger than that cast for
Mr.. Fillmore, and the bold assurances
given to the public, they barely mus
tered 4oOO votes, and many OF them
obtained under false pretenees. Three
weeks ago a very different state Of
feeling existed here, and according to
the general judgement of our friends,
the North American has been some
what instrumental in disabusing those
who were still open to reason, of erro-
neous impressions, and in presenting
facts which were calculated to address
the intelligent and upright opinion OF
the community. We have reason to
know that large numbers Of those who
honestly preferred Mr.. Bell for the
Presidency, were induced to investi
gate, and thus finally to cooperate
with us in the election of Mr.. Curtin.
