guilty and prosperity Of the country will be
promoted by the election Of Lincoln and
Hamlin, are preparing to hold a city meet

ton. Most OF them are Clay Wings of other
days, who supported Mr.. Fillmore in '56,
partly from State pride and personal regard,
bat in part also because be was the only can
didate in nomination for President who bad
shared in their previous struggles or who
was deemed by them sound in his views With
regard TO the internal policy and legislative
needs of the country. Believing Mr.. Lincoln

porsant topics, they have resolved to Re with

Judge Belts has granted an Injunction re-
straippg the United States Marshal from
levying upon the property of Messrs. Law
and Conover, sureties of the late postmaster.
The serious charges against the post Office
department, Of a concealment of facts within
the knowledge of the department in relation
TO the deficiencies, entities the sure.ies, in
the opinion OF the Judge, TO sufficient delay
to admit the Investigate on Of these charges.
The strong ground taken is, that Fowler was
a defauiter when the bond was executed, and
that the department knew it. Two issues
will be tried by order Of the judge; one upon
the facts, before jury, and the other upon
Law as TO the concealment Of facts by gov.
eminent, IL such concealment is proven.
IL is premature to anticipate the judgment
of the courts. II the charge is sustain ed
the department is disgraced, the money lost
and the bondsmen free. In any case, tn,
sureties will probably escape, and the COS
of their prosecution have to be added to th,
deficiency whica has given Fowler unenvia

Tennessee? Bat suppose be gets into the

how will the House vote? Each State, ii
must be remembered, would vote as unit,
and q small State would count M much as q

already elected upon whom the choice of
President would devolve In the case sup~

stated, as TO most of the States, with entire
confidence. We speak Of the Grst ballosing,

All the four tied States and also Tennessee
would be given to Breckenridge, in case it

So it appears that Douglas chances in
the House, as compared with Breckenridge,
are no better than in the Electoral College.

country are as exacting in favor of their

How shall the Next President he
*e Elected.

Forney's Press has long editorial under
The above beading, in which he insists that
James Buchanan, jeff. Davis, j. G. Breckin-
ridge and 10 Lane are all engaged in dark
plot 10 throw the election of Presi-
dent into Congress. The present constltu-
ton OF the House Of Representatives renders
it impracticable for that body to elect
President; the duty will, therefore, be de-
yolved npon the Senate Of the United States,
which will be certain TO elect 10. Lane
Such q result will be regarded with equal
adherence by each of the other three par
ties, whom Forney regards as alike favorable
TO the Union. But the only suggestion he
makes TO prevent that catastrophe 10 that the
Republicans and Bell men should cease to
encourage the Brsckinridgers in the North.
Now, the true solution of the difficulty and
HE question is to elect Lincoln iD November,
because be is the strongest candidate and the
only one who stands the slightest chance OF
an election by the people. Every man who
votes for Douglas, Breckenridge or Bell
votes with open eyes to give the election o.
President to Congress, as the only chance o
defesting Lincoln before the people.
