Prom the Ashland Unlon.l
Since we took charge Of the editorial de-
partment OF the ashland linton, and prior to
the Baltimore nominations, we have expressed
through our paper 40 preference for, and said
not one word against, any leading or able
Democrat who might be the nominee Of that
Convention. We were determined TO stand
unbiased and unprejudiced for or against any
man, and ready, as we stated, TO "pull OF our
coat and roll up our sleeves" with an unswerv.
ing determination 10 do our best 10 aid In
electing the nominee Of that Convention.

With these standard bearers, supported as
they will be by the entire Democratic vote of
the Union, the days Of Black Republication
~aroRpmbered. The destroying angel is al
ready upon the wing, and the army ofthe 0p-
position that is fighting a battle on the side Of
WRONG, against the mailed array Of the le-
gions who stand up in the defence Of Popular
Rights, in defence Of the Constitution, in de-
Tense Of the Union of these States, win be

From the Urtsna Free Prcss.l
A dispatch was received here ON Saturday
last, announcing that Stephen A.. Douglas
was nominated for President Of the United
States by the Baltimore Democratic COnven-
ton, but as the telegraph is frequently given
to the circulation of reports that are not alto
gether reliable, many persons hardly knew
whether to credit the intelligence or not
Mondays dispatches, however, confirmed the
report, and the dailies Of that date contained
accounts from different sections Of the coun-
try where the news had been received, Of
demonstrations Of the greatest enthusiasm
among the people.
II is with feelings Of qualification and pleas
ure that we are permitted 10 announce the sue
cessful triumph Of the faithful, conservative
body Of the Democratic party Of the country
over the conniving ofice-holders and corrupt
politicians Of the North, and the disorganizers
and disunionists ofthe South, whose evident
design, both at Charleston and Baltimore, was
either to rule or ruin; and notwithstanding
Mr.. Douglas was not our FIRST choice for the
Presidency, we cheerfdlly place his name at
our masthead with that of our talented and
popular Vice President, as our standard bear
er in the great battle Of principle already be-
gun, and will give them our hearty support
and use oil the efforts and influence we can,
in an honorable and proper way, to secure
their election aud the success Of the principles
proclaimed by the regular National Democrat.
ic Convention.
From The Holmes County Farmer.1
Douglas and Johnson received the unani-
nous vote Of over two hundred delegates who
rnmatnn1 in tho Nnnynnt;nn mill D.o.I.. |
ridge and Lane were nominated by less than
one hundred who left the Convention and or
ganized in another place. Under these cir
cumstances duty and a consciousness of right,
compel us to give our SuppnFt to Douglas and
johnson and accordingly we place their names
at our masthead, We hope, however, that
come arrangement may yet be made which
will enable the Democracy to present al un-
divided front to Black Rcpublicanism. This
may be one by the withdrawal of all the can
didates and the nomination Of others. We
do not despair Of some adjustment of the diff
ficulty. We are willing to make any sacrifice
that honor will permit for the peace and sue
cess Of the party, but II the rule or ruin men
still persist in their course they must suffer the
consequences and be crushed by the irrepress-
ible force of the voting masses.
So far as Holmes county is concerned there
is but one opinion--one voice among the De-
mocracy. We do not believe there are five
Democrats in the county who will not under
existing circumstances vote for Douglas and
johnson.
From the Macarthur Democrat
Stephen A.. Douglas, of Illinois, is the reg

with his history, Serving his apprenticeship
as a cabinet-maker, he emigrated to Illinois
at an early day. His natural force of charac.

out as o pFoper pepsan flp palitieal ppOfsrment,
aud step by step he asoonded tho ladder of
fame until he reached the U. s.. Senate some
years ago. In that distinguished
position he soon acquired a power and a nat
tional reputation which but few men of this age
can boast; and for the past six years his name
has been identified with the great question of
popular sovereignty, % the fRht IF the poop.
