A Curiosity. oF LITERATURE.-In England the
railroad cars are divided off into compartments each
Of which contains seats for eight or ten passengers
While, therefore, an immenie number Of books and
newspapers ara sold at the principal stations the con-

the train at the last minute and have little leisure to

The Breckenridge Organ Shows its
knowledge of Minnesota.

Some idea of the reliance TO be placed
upon statements made by the Washington
Constitution, the central organ of the
Boilers and of the administration, may be
had from the following editorial paragraph
in that paper of late date
In Minnesota the national cause q. z. that
of Breckenridge and Lane,) is actually stronger
than Douglasism and but for the detection of
the friends of the latter there could be no
doubt but that BreckinriGge and Lane would
carry the State.
In many Of the counties of Minnesota, if
not IN majority Of them, there cannot be
found single advocate Of the election Of
BRECHlSR1DGE and LANE, and in St. Paul,
where the seceders are reputed strongest
BECKER does not take with him twenty
votes in bis secession from the Democratic
party. We do not believe FIVE hundred
honest voters in Minnesota, can be secured
for a BRECKINRIDGE ticket, while the
DOUGLAS electors will receive the suffrages
of over 10000 loyal Democrats.

Address of Democratic National COM
Committee.

Messrs TAYLOR of Louisiana, PUGH of
Ohio and RUST of Arkansas, in behalf of
the Democratic National Executive Com
mittee, have issued to the Democracy of the
United States an address of explanation and
counsel. They declare as the universal
sentiment of the supporters of DOUGLAS and
JOHNSON, that no compromise whatever is
admissible that they have made no
propopositlon for a joint electoral tick
ct in any State, and that they expect
the rejection of such propopositions in
dignantly whenever and wherever made.
They say if wehave any friends in any State,
let them call State Convention at once
and nominate full electoral ticket, pledged
to the exclusive support of DOUGLAS and
JOHNSON. The address says 1--WE can
agree to nothing else, because to acknow-
ledge the right of factious minority to die
tate their own terms of cooperation, to suffer
them to violate the solemn professions of
the Democratic party, and trample under
foot our Democratic usages, would be to
disband the national organization"

except in the two specified cases-the for
eign slave trade and the fugitive slave law.
He has now lent himself to most unworthy
trick and attempted to defeat the regular
nominees of his party, by accepting the
Boilers nomination upon the platform which
declares that Congress must interfere with
the institution of slavery in the Territories,
and that an omission to do so by Congress
will be good ground for dissolution of the
Union.
In 1850 Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE sustained Mr.
CLAY in asserting the great principle of the
right Of each community to regulate its
domestic institutions to suit themselves
In 1860 he is the candidate for the Presi-
dency on the platform that unless Congress
does interfere to regulate and govern the
domestic institutions of the people of distinct
political communities, then the Union must
he dissolved.

The Animus OF the DisOrganizers.

Democratic party and for its harmony. tell
Mr.. Douglas and his friends how harmony can
be restored. Let him withdraw. We are dis.
unionsts, are we? We are factionists! We
are sectionallsts The people of the Southern
States will take any man saving and excepting
Stephen A. Douglas, whether he lives North,
South, East, or West, we care not.
l only say, do not press Mr.. Douglas, we will
not support Douglas.
This extract from the speech of dis
tingushed leader OF the Southern Secession
lists, uttered in the United States, Senate
during the interim between the Charleston
and Baltimore Conventions, fully reveals the

ming BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. 1t demon.
strates the great object to be purely personal
in its character, and directed to the defeat
of DOUGLAS as a politician. The same
ground taken by the Secession Senator, in
the extract above quoted, was occupied by
the YANCEYs, SLIDELLs, and BRIGHrs at
Charleston and Baltimore. Drop DOUG.
LAS" said these traitorous maicontents,
"and we will take any other man, and on
any platform you prescribe" Throughout
the whole of the controversy, up to the time
of the nominations, these demagogues were
willing, at any moment, to sacrifice their
Slave Code to their personal hatred of the
champion of Popular Sovereignty.
The Indifference of the Secessionists to
their ultra doctrines, and their malice against
DOUGLAS, have been equally demonstrated
since the nominations were made, in their
attempts to coalesce with the regular De-
mocracy upon the electoral tickets through
out the Northern States. They know that
such coalescence involves an utter surrender
of principle on the part of the supporters of
DOUGLAS as wellas themselves. They know
further that such an utilization would be
like the contact of leprosy with health
blighting the true Democracy with irretrie-
vable dishonor, and unavoidable death. But
they would now, as at first, make cheerful
sacrifice of consistency for the sake of graft
flying their revenge.
Thepeople already begin to appreciate the
animus of the BREcKINRIDGE movement.
This is shown in the unvaryiug contempt
with which it is met by the Democratic
masses of the North. Politicians can be
swayed by ignoble passions into personal
dishonor, and partizan treachery but the
people are both heroic in aspiration, and
incorruptible in conduct. And it is to their
quick intelligence and intrinsic honesty, that
the regular Democracy look for vindication
in the election of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.

Defining his Position.

A. 2. RICHARDSON is editor OF the North
Iowa Imes-the very best country paper
in the north west-and is also Postmaster
at McGregor. 1t having been intimated to
him that he could only purchase a contlnu-
ance in Office by supporting BRECKlNRIDGE,
Mr.. RICHARDSON comes out in a card, and
here it is:

patronage enough in the State of Iowa to pur-

All this is respectfully submitted. with the
profoundest regret that men can be found in the
ranks of the Democratic party SO low as to be-
come the public and unmistakable tools of
Government faction. which. unfortunately for
the country, yields the treasury Of the United
States to satiate its vengence against states
man. whose only sin is that he could neither be
bribed nor frightened into a base sacrifice of
the glorious doctrine of Popular Rights. IF
this be treason make the most of it."

An English Reviewer on Douglas.

Sheahan's Life of Douglas has been re-
published in England, by the well known
firm OF Samson Low & Son, OF London In
the London Saturday ReUieU-tbe most
fastidious, as it is the ablest publication Of
the kind-of June 80, is very long article,
criticising, in way not in the least uncca-.
plimeDtary, Mr.. Sheahans book The Re-
view says:
Mr. Douglas impresses US, through all
the speeches recorded in this volume, as De-
ing very honest man. Like all people
who stick infexibly to strong opinions and
who have great dexterity in argument he
seems sometimes to fence with his subjects
rather than 60 really into it; cut in the
main he inspires belief that he is not to be
deferred or dissuaded by any personal con-
siderations or wish for party success from
saying and doing what he thinks right.
He has proved this by the strong oppo-
sition he has offered to the President in the
well known LecOmptOn controversy, which
has split up the Democratic party. MIR.
Douglas had every thing to lose by creating
disruption in the party to which he has
belonged ali his life, and which admires him
so much. But as be thought the President
wrong in forcing constitution on Terri
tory against its wish, he,was quite as strOngin
opposing Mr. Buchanan as be ever had been
in opposing Republican. In private life, al
so, be has shown his. honesty by refusing
very valuable slave plantation offered him
by bis father in-law... He refused it on the
ground that, although he did not disapprove
OF slavery, yet he had always lived In the
North, and his training and habits rendered
it unlikely that he should know how to treat
bis slaves in the way in which they ought to
be treated. We have therefore, the satis>
faction, while reading this volume, of re-
specting its hero.

81 electoral votes, which secured his cleo

Fremont, l,247 Buchanan, 638,359, and
Fillmore, 498,1l7. This of course gave
Buchanan all the slave state electoral votes,
except those of Maryland, which were for
Fillmore. In the four free states which
voted for Buchanan, New jersey, Pennsyl-
