To THE POINr.-The men who have made Mr.
Seward their victim will now attack his followers
in detail; and the war will be "to the knife v
Argus.
To which the Albany Egening Journal re.
plies: The Argus greatly mistakes the temper
of Stewards friends They seek no compliments
from Democrats, and beg to be spared the NOR
LITIGATION of their sympathy. Nothing would so
soon kindle their enthusiasm for Lincoln as hyp.
ocritical expressions of regret from dough
five years they have always deemed themselves
in danger when bogus Democrats spoke well OF
them. Praise from enemies is more CALLING than
stripes from friends.

The ISSUE ACCEPTED. The Illinois State
Journal insists that the Republicans OF that
State are ready for Douglas. "Barkis is willing
and adds: "SOme of our Democratic cotempor-
asies in this State, since the nomination OF Mr..
Lincoln by the Republican National Convention,
are more than ever vociferous that Mr.. Douglas
should be the nominee of the Baltimore Conven-
ton. Wo trust they may be gratifed, as there
is no man in the entire Democratic party whom
the Republicans of Illinois would take more
pleasure in having Mr.. Lincoln beat than Stephen
A. Douglas. In the Senatorial contest OF 1858
Mr.. Douglas, through an unjust apportionmen
succeeded in securing majority of the Legs
lature, Yet he was in minority of several thou
sand votes on the popular vote. Bring Mr.
Douglas out, and the majority against him il
November next, will be increased 10000. The
Republicans OF Illinois are anxious for the con
| test to be between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Douglas
fully satisfied as they are that the diminutiv'
giant will be the worst beat Democrat that eve
took the field. We are ready and aching 10

THE GREAT Minnesota Mining Co. CASE
This case which has made much noise was de-
cided ON Monday last in favor of the company on
its merit, and upon technical grounds, by the
Supreme Court of Michigan, and against Jonas
Il. Titus, the Plaintiff. The claim of Titus wa.
to one.6fth Of the whole stock of the Company
by virtue of contract made with him as Presi-
dent of the Baltimore Mining Company, with
the Vulcan Mining Company, which, he claims,
was subsequently converted into and now con-
stitutes the Minnesota Mining Company.

Nor SUIrED.-The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Press and Tribune says: There
isn't Democrat in the city that is satisfied with
the nomination OF Lincoln 1t isn't either expe-
dent, wise, or fit, in their estimation. Mr.. Sew
ard, or, at least, Mr.. Chase or Mr.. Cameron,
ought to have been nominated, they say, but
what claims, they ask, has Lincoln upon the
party, that he should be chosen above all others:
The truth is, the rery last man on earth that
should have been nominated, tcas, according to
these disinterested Democrats. But if you could
have sat in the Reporters gallery of the House,
as did, during to-day, and watched the coun.
tenances Of both sides of the House, the sight
would have told you the truthful story of the
manner in which the nomination were received
On either side. On every Republican face played
the smiles of hope and confidence.

himself from being penniless and uneducated
fatboasman on the Wabash River to the position
which Mr.. Lincoln now occupies, is not likely
to be q nullity anywhere"

Mr.. Avery, prominent Southern member OF the

Avery said
