Tbs Wide Awakes are trying hard to
haul some Of the young Democrats into the
Lincoln harness but while they have been
unsuccessful in this, they have succeeded
in disgusting the more sensible part Of the
people. About one hundred and fifty dol
lars has been sent abroad 10 purchase the
useless trappings TO catch votes, which
nigh: have been spent TO a better advan-
:age in buying bread Tor some of our bor-
ough poor, or some Town improvement
Covode's investigating Committee had bet
ter inquire into he cost OF fishing for few
votes in Lewisburg. They made their first
public display, in full uniform on Saturday
evening last, and report has it that "Old
Rye" was freely used by some of the " lr-
repressible Conflict" soldiers. There are
some hard stories out in reference TO some
who lodged in old foundries, taverns, &C.,
who, if reports are true, are shame and
reproach 10 odecency.-LeCisburg argus.

WHlsTLIEG TO KEEP UP THEIR CoURAcE.-
The Opposition press IS filled with ficti-
tous stories about 'sthe weakness" of the
national Democratic candidal es at the South
and, according to their stripe, the immense
strength of Douglas and Johnson, Bell and
Everett, or Lincoln and Hamlin. This blnd-
erdash does not deceive anybody. Hone st
doubt about Breckinridge and Lane carry
ing every Southern State, and most OF them
by overwhelming majoriiies, is impossible.
We are daily in receipt of letters from lead
ing Democrats in different parts of the South
which stale that the utmost enthusiasm
prevails among The people for OR gallant
nominees, and that the stories about Doug
las and Bells popularity are pure inven'
tions. 1t is only necessary to read the
Southern journals, to look at the reports OF
Breckinridge and Lane Meetings in Tenne-
see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Flori-
da, Alabama, North Carolina ,-io be fully
convinced that those who talk OF Breck:n-
ridges "weakness" and Douglas and Bell's
"strength" in the South are but "whistling

The JAPANESE HEARD FRoM The steam
frigate Niagara, which left New York on
the 3oth of June, with the Japanese Embas-
sy on board, reached the Cape de Verde
Island on The l7,h of July, having made the
distance in seventeen days. The Japanese
expressed themselves as much pleased
with their visit 10 this country. The Am.
bassadors had caused to be removed from
the cabin assigned to them almost every
article Of furniture which had been pTovi-
ded for them in New York at great cost,
preferring 10 sit on the carpet in Oriental
style. They managed TO while away their
time in eating seven or eight times day,
smoking, playing chess, and caressing their
great toes-which latter operation afforded
them evident solace and satisfaction. Tom
my was as lively and amusing as ever.

The Missouri Election.

Claiborne F. Jackson, the regular DEM
OF Missouri. Mr.. Jackson having announc-
ed previous 10 his election, that he would
vote for Douglas in November, his success
is claimed as Douglas triumph. The facts
disprove the assumption.
Jackson and Reynolds were nominated
for Governor, by State Convention held in
April. That Convention passed, without
one dissenting voice, this resolution -
"Ihat the Democratic party of Missouri
hold these cardinal principles On the subject
of slavery in the Territories lst. That
Congress has no power 10 abolish slavery
in the Territories. I'd. That the Territorial
Legislature has no power to abolish slavery
in any Territory, nor prohibit the introduc-
ton OF slaves therein, nor any power to ex.
clude slavery therefrom by unfriendly leg,
islation, nor any power 10 destroy or i'm
pair the right of property in slaves by any
Legislation whatever"
The doctrines of this resolution are the
antipodes of those maintained by Mr.. Doug
las. After the action of the Baltimore Con.
vention, these candidates, being called out
stated that, while standing by the doctrines
of he platform upon which they were nom
mated, they would yet vote for Douglas, ,con
sidering him the regular candidate of The
party. This was in July, within few
weeks Of the election. They had been can
vassing the State three months. The whole
party were supporting them. Four -fifth
of the Democratic newspapers, and nearly
all the leading men in the State. like Sena
tors Green and Polk, advocated their elec
ton. They asked the votes of the Demo
cratic people on the ground that they wer
the regular nominees of the party, withou
reference 10 their Presidential views, an
upon that ground received them and wer
elected. If the election indicates anything
it is an endorsement by Missouri of the res
olution we have quoted, which was advo
Gated by the successful candidates on ever
stump, and which covers the whole groun
Of the platform on which Mr.. Breckinridg
stands in the pending canvass. It is NOT
Douglas triumph in any sense-it is an er
dorsement of Breckibridge's principles

The Charges against Mr.. Hamlin not yet
sDiSDfOVed.


The grave charge preferred against Mr..
HamLIN, the Black Republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency, has not yet been
fairly met, either by unequivocal denial or
satisfactory explanation. That charge is,
that Mr. HAMLE, while a Senator of the
United States, received fees, or emoluments,
or pay TO the amour. of seven thousand dol
lars, ior lobbying bills through Congress,
aud that personally solicited the votes Of
members therefor. This charge emanates
from a most respectable and responsible
source. 1t was made openly and publicly.
1t is grave charge, and If true should
blast Mr.. Hamlin in the estimation of all
upright men. A corrupt, money making
Senator, who sells his votes and his influ-
ence Ior filthy lucre, is not the sort of man
TO be elected to the second Office in this
great Republic. To run such a man is 10
insult the nation. 1t should damn the ticket
on which his name is placed and the party
that has the baseness, the dishonesty and
hardihood 10 support il. 1t is an outrage
that has no parallel in party contests.
If untrue, it should at once and forever
be set at rest 1t cannot be passed over in
silence. Ample time for refntation has been
allowed, but no sufficient and satisfactory
refutaiion of it has yet appeared. The fail
ure TO disprove il must be trealed AS iul
confession of its truth.

witnessed manifest change in the Presi-

now decidedly of opinion that in the end
there will be but one electoral ticket in the
field in that State against Lincoln. The ar
rangement of the Pennsylvania Democratic
State Committee is fair and honorable 10
both parties. 1t is no fusion or compromise,
but a test for strength. The candidate who
receives .he largest vote, whether Breckin-
ridge or Douglas, is 10 have the electoral
vote in the College, if the ticket succeeds.
1t is simply reference of the whole matter

abide by the decision of the majority within

ANOTHER FALSE REPoRT.-Of course the
New York He'cld's story that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge intends to throw up the nomination,
is a pure fabrication. The HerGld's Wash
ington correspondent is almost as great a
liar as Forney's Occasional" The idea
that Mr. Breckenridge would decline be-
cause Kentucky went for Gen. Coombs, is
preposterous Coombs and Letcher always
beat everybody they ran against, except
Breckinridge, who always beat them.

That Rail.

ga rail supposed to have been split by
Abraham Lincoln, 90 years ago, was recei.
we'd by VIM. B. Mann, through Hatden's
Express, direct from Illinois, for one Of the
Republican clubs of Philadelphia, on Mon
day last. The freight was $780,"
The above is the substance of para
graph appearing in several of the Philadel-
phia papers on Tuesday morning. We are
able TO prove that that rail never came from
IlIiuois-nether was it split by Lincoln. 1t
was sent from Williamsport, Pa, probably
stolen from some honest farmers fence,
near that place. This is only one Of the
many humbugs got up by the Lincolnites TO
attempt 10 fool honest men into their ranks.
The rail-splitting cry has not created par
ticIe OF enthusiasm among the people, and
since it has failed, we advise the Republi-
cans to let peoples fences alone. The SIM
pie fact is the people don't want a Presi.
dent to split rails for them, but to administer
tho affairs oil his Office in statesman like
manner. There are plenty Democrats in
PENNSYLVANIA who are as honest as old
Abe, and who consider il more honorable
to keep on splitting rails ard 10 vote for
Breckinridge and Lane in November, than
to be the candidate of a party which de-

he does not belong to the party" So much
for the "protection" of leading RepnblI-

ration of the free trade editor who leads
the Lincoln electoral ticket in the State of
