A New THNG.-Gen. Nye, of New York,
uttered the following good thing at a Re-
publican meeting in Chicago, preliminary
to the Convention:
Douglas pretended to have discovered
o new thing. The world was kept in itful
anxiety for its announcement. We are told
that in the brain of Douglas there was a
sort of CESSATION going on that was going
to produce fruit that would astonish the
world, and l waited, you waited, to see
what it was and finally he rose. with the
wonderful announcement that the people
were capable of self-government.
Why, sir, Milton in his blindness saw that
Algernon Sidney went to the block upon the
announcement of that principle, ere the
mouth of Douglas was opened and he was
told, as he laid his head upon the block, if
he would denounce his heresy he could yet
live but like patriot-like Roman-like

A SOUTHERN TRIBUTE TO LINcoLx-Mr.
L L'ncoln. though decided Republican, and
a complete exponent of the purpose a d
spirit of the party, is not the object of those
popular prejudices that attach to Mr.. Sew
ard his strongest competitor for the nom-
nation. He is man of ability, not equal
to Mr.. Seward in culture or in experience of
public affairs. but is considered by many
heard one of the discussions between him
and Douglas in the famous campaign Of
1858, and we certainly regarded h m as
full match for that distinguished politician
There are some things in the personal char
acter and career of Mr. Lincoln which give
him great popularity, if they do not excite
enthusiasm among the people. Born of
humble parentage, and passing the years of
childhood, youth and manhood amid the
hardships of the back-woods of Kentucky.
Indiana and Illinois, acquiring an education
by his own labors as best he could, and
gradually working his way to DIT notion.
his life has been one well calculated to ex-
cite the admiration and sympathy of voters,
most of whom are themselves working men.
When to this is added the purity of his pri-
sate life, the genial recognition of which
has given him, in his own State, the soubri-
quet of =" Honest Old Abe" weare compelled

RnroRr on THE PLAcERvILLE RAILROAD
RourH.-We have just received the report
Of VIM. J. Lewis, Esq, Chief Engineer on
the survey and estimate of cost ofa Railroad
the line is reported at 2s4 miles-the cost
81 l,2l7, $50 81. The plumber oftrestle bridges
II, with a total length of l3, 1913 feet The
greatest hight of any trestle bridge is lis
feet. The heaviest grade of the road is 80
feet to the mile. The estimated revenue of
the road SAFE, 900 per annum, the nett rev.
enue $235, 200 or Is $40 per cent upon its
cost.
Upon reading the report we can come to
no other conclusion than that Railroad
between the two places must be built over
mountains of dificulties-in fact it isa very
heavy line. The engineer speaks of it MS a
portion of Central Pacific Railroad, but as
Q competitor, in that respect, to the Sacra-
mento, Placer and Nevada Railroad, as far
a. located, it cannot be compared, as may
be easily seen by the reports upon both
roads. To cross the Sierra Nevada with a
railroad by the Placerville route, the line
runs as it were right into the teeth of The
mountains, while by way of Auburn and
Nevada, the line runs parallel with the
mountains and at the same time attains q
high elevation that promises a favorable
crossing by the Henness Pass, or some othel
depression, to the Truckee river As loca

Why the South should be Unanimous
for Breckenridge.

]. The Bell party represent no principles
lay down no policy upon which to administer
the government. Upon the paramount issue
now before the people-the right TO protection
OF the property Of all citizens alike by the
Federal Govcrnment-they are silent
2. The national Democracy have assumed
the responsibility of standing or falling by
an open and brave enunciation Of what they
believe, and what all true southerners must
regard, as only their fair and just constitu-
tional rights.
3. With the united South demanding the
protection Of its constitutional rights, it will
be great moral power against the Black Re
publieans, and will convince the conservative
men Of the North that the South Is in earnest
in its just and honorable demands.
A. The only way to defeat Lincoln is 10
vote for Breckinridge. Neither Bell or Doug
las is the choice Of the Southern people. The
election in Delaware, Florida, Texas, Missis-
sippi, and Arkansas, show that large MAORI
ty Of the Southern people are for Breckin-
ridge and Lane.
8. With the 100 electoral votes Of the South
for Breckenridge, he will be elected by the
electoral college, for the 30 votes Of New York
will be cast for him in addition, in case Of the
election Of the fusion ticket, Of which there
now appears no doubt.
Many more sound reasons might be given
why the southern people should not vote for
Douglas or Bell, but the above ought to be
sufficient 10 induce every patriotic man TO go
for Breckenridge and Lane.--Jfdn.

Our Prospects in MARYLAND.

At no time since the advent of Know-noth-
ingism has the prospects Of the Democracy
for carrying Maryland been more fattcring,
than at the approaching election. Since the
election in Baltimore, in October, the oppo-
nents Of Democracy have been daily losing
strength The tide has turned, and Demo
cracy is on the food. The breeze is fair, ard
every hour gains freshness.
We wish that our space would admit Of our
laying before our readers the animating ac-
counts which we daily receive from every
portion Of the State. The friends of Brcckin-
ridge, in Baltimore, are working with great
energy and spirit, and in the full hope of sue
cess. All accounts concur in claiming that
the city will give large plurality vote for
Breckenridge. With such a state of things
in Baltimore, should it not animate our friends
in the counties TO increased exertions, and
inspire us all to leave no effort untried be-
tween now and the closing of the polls on
Tuesday next?

Democrats TO the Work

We would earnestly remind every democrat
in the county Of his duty on Tuesday next.
Let him remember that never before, in the
history of his country, was his individual ex-
ertions more required in defense of his very
liberty, than at the present moment. Let
him remember that every man, however hum
bic he may be, has his influence, and may ex-
crt il for good or evil in the approaching cri-
sis. lie should not only 90 to the polls him
self, but he should see that his neighhor who
has no means of getting there, should be pro-
vided for in this respect There are many
who are too infirm to walk, but whose heart
is in the fight, and who would gladly fire a
gun against the common enemy. See to it.,
therefore, fellow-democrats, that no voter is
left at home-take him up behind you if there
is no other mode of conveyance, and the proud
consolation may be yours Of having saved the
Union, and this entities you to the everlasting
gratitude of your children's children.

ANOTHER MARYLAND BLACK REPUBLICAN IN
THE NoRTH-The Bell and Eoereh Party pro
pose Fusion in Aaryldnd.-At Republican
mass meeting in New York on Thursday
night of last week, VIM. Il. Coale, Grand
Marshal of the Wide Awakes of Baltimore
was introduced and received with three Wide
Awake cheers, waving of hats, &c. Mr. Coale
proceeded to speak of theprospects of the Re-
publican party in Maryland, and said they
had lately received an accession of 2,oo0
openly in the field
Mr.. Coale, in the course of his remarks
made some interesting and important disclo-
sures in regard to the Bell and Everett party
of the State of Maryland. This party, which
with so much JUNCTION is claimed TO be Ma
tionaland Constitutional by its orators and press,
it appears did actually propose to the Black
Republicans of Maryland that they should
fuse with them. Mr.. Coale said;
"They proposed to the Republicans of Ma
ryland that they should fuse with them. The
proposition was made that the Republicans
place certain number of their men on the
ion party to work against the Democracy. This
proposition was brought before the Republic
can State Committee, and the reply was unan-
imous, that they We're determined that their
sentiments should be their own, and unmixed,
and if those who made eproposition wished
to come to them, they must come rs Republi-
cans. He was proud that the Republicans OF
Maryland had refused the intimacy of that
party"
Unable to obtain fusion with the Black
Republican Sectional Party, this Union party,
par excellence has resorted to the despicable
trick OF printing large number of tickets
with the names of Lincoln and IIamlin over
the Bell and Everett Electors, and have scat
tered them broadcast through the State, hop
ing by this means to secure its vote by fraud I
Mr.. Coales Estimate Of the Republican
stren9th.-Mr. Coale Slid, by u careful esti-
mate of the Republicans strength, Baltimor,
city would give 5000 votes for Lincoln, and
the rest of the State looo morc.-Baltimort

Democrats, of Montgomery!

Before another week shall have rolled around,
you will be called upon to exercise the most
sacred and important duty that can actuate
you in perpetuating that priceless liberty
which has been bequeathed to you by a free
and Independent ancestry. In the name of
that glorious legacy-in the name of that love
you bear your very affairs and fresides, and
all you hold dear upon earth, we implore you
TO perform that duty with a stern determina-
ton to stand by and defend your revered
Constitution against the traitorous cohorts
who are now seeking to trample under foot
that sacred panoply of our country's peace
and tranquility and who, as a mutinous
safety upon the frightful shores of anarchy
and bloodshed. Are you prepared for the
conflict? For more than eighty years the
Democratic party has stood like the surf
beaten rock, and defcd the assaults of its com
mon enemies at home and abroad; its flag
still floats over its ocean-bound ramparts, the
proud emblem of our unexampled progress in
all that constitutes Il powerful, prosperous
and free nation. The great chart of our Ii
berries is, as yet, preserved but cloud APP
pears in the North, more terrible and ominous
of evil than has, as yet, broken over its hith-
erto impregnable dcfences, and danger CLEANS
from every point of its lowering fury. The
gallant and true Democracy, inspired with a
patriotic devotion which will never die, are
rallying with redoubled effort to meet and
avert the impending shock, and with re-
newed faith in that overruling Providence,
which has ever guided them to victory, they
fcarlessly await the coming storm.
Letevery Democrat, therefore, feel the full
weight of the responsibility which rests upon
his individual exertions. Let him be up and
Mt work while it is yet day; and when the
hour of battle approaches, let him be found at
his post, with his falchion blade appraised,
and striking once more for victory, and with
Gods assistance, it will once more be ours.
"Then stand by our loved Constitution,
In spite Of the rdil-splHing crew
Hurrah for the flag of our Union
Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue'

The Great Day Approa chest

On TUESDAY NEXT will be held the most mo-
mentous election that has occurred since the
formation of our Government. On its result
may depend the continuance of our Union
The fanatical Abolitionists of the North, aided
and stimulated by the money of the British
aristocracy have determined to ruin the
prosperity of the slave-holding States, and in
this way to crush the brightest example of
free government that ever appeared in the
world. For if this Union is dissolved, our
weight among the nations of the earth will be
very small in comparison with what it is now,
and almost nothing to what it will be if we
remain united.
If Lincoln should be elected, several of the
Southern States are ready to sccede, without
waiting for further development of Adolf
ton policy What then is the duty of every
patriot in the country? Certainly, to join
that band that has the best prospect of de-
feating him. We believe that the BREcKIN-
RIDGE party is the only one that can effect
this. Then, why should we, in Maryland,
divide and waste our strength on three tickets
Every vote ought to tell. As to Mr.. DOUGLAS,
he cannot get a single electoral vote. Actu-
ated by spite, he is determined, if he can, to
elect Lincoln, in revenge for his disappoint-
ment. If any proof of this were wanting, the
late coalition IN Oregon to elect Douglas and
an Abolition Senator would be sufficient
Then why should any honest Democrat throw
away his vote to promote such an evil purposes
To the friends of Messrs BELL and EVERETT,
we would say, would it not be better TO pre-
sent a strong and undivided front to the enc
my, than even to carry Maryland for your IA
vorites2 But as there is very little or nc
prospect of carrying Mary land, surely itwould
be better to unite with those who are the real
defense against the fanatics of the North.
Let every voter come out on Tuesday. Lei
no one be discouraged by the late election in
Pennsylvania. We know the Abolitonists
raised shout Of triumph on that election, as
If all was gained. But the late accounts from
New York and New Jersey, give us strong
hopes of success in these States, which would
be sufficient to defeat the election of Lincoln
But whatever may be the result, let no true
patriot hereafter have to mourn that he ne.
elected to give his aid in the most trying times
of his country welfare and honor.

DEPRECIATION oFsSLAvE VALUE.--A cores
pendent Of the Charleston Courier, from Wash
ington, says There is a considerable degree
of alarm and commotion among Shareholders in
Virginia, founded upon sensible depreciation
of the market value of slaves. A Virginia
member of Congress who was here a day or two
ago, says depreciation amounts already to one
hundred dollars head on an average. The
cause Of this depreciation, and also of the strin-
gency Of money matters in Virginia, is vari-
ously explained. Its referred, not only to the
probable success of the Black Republican par
ty, but the fear that the Cotton States will
next winter enact laws prohibiting the emf
grafton of slaves from Virginia into those
States, and thus force Virginia to remain u
slaveholding State 1t has been suggested
that, in case of the election of Lincoln and the
establishment OF Republican ascendency in the
Federal Government, Virginia and other bor-
der slaveholding States would be gradually
abolitionized, and get rid of their slaves by
transferring them to the South. Controverting
legislation, on the part of Cotton States, is Sc
rously apprehended There is not so much
sensation on the subject in Maryland as in
Virginia"

Falling into the Ranks.

The extent to which we hear of conversions
to the national democracy from the Southern
supporters of Douglas and Bell, augurs well
for Southern unity on Tuesday next For
weeks past Virginia has furnished a constant
Embarrassing list of politicians heretofore
classed with the opposition, but who have
now taken their places in the Breckenridge
ranks, prepared to battle manfully for the
defeat of Lincoln. Now the same cheering
intelligence comes from kentucky, where,
judging from published letters, q regular
stampede has set in amongst the Bell and
Douglas men and in a greater or less degree
from Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and else
where.
A more encouraging sign could not be de-
sired. The bare possibility of an abolition
triumph is bad enough but Northern sec
tionalism, succored by Southern divisions,
were calamity to be avertcd by any reason
able sacrifice. The good sense and patriotism
of the people are fast removing this great
source of weakness and danger. The necessi-
ty of unity on the part of the South is admit
ted by everybody and the duty which selfish
managers would ignore is being manfully I'M
dertaken by those whom they expected to lead
whithersoever they pleased. The hopeless
ness Of clecting either Bell or Douglas by any
imaginable combination has become apparent
to all and leaders and followers, instead of
criminally wasting strength, are joining
the friends of Breckenridge and Lane, as the
only party able to save the country from
threatened peril.
