wiIfuI MISREPRESENTATION.

In a report of speech recently made by Mr..
DOuga, at Indianapolis, we fad the following state
ment:
~ loH tell you that to-day the lchole potoer Of Mr..
BUCHANAN's administration is being yielded for Linz
coin in erery free State of this Union Orders haze
gone from Washington TO Indiana and Ohio, the same
oed to Maine to hare the federal Gtceholders UOtc
the Republican ticket at the approaching State elections;
and the they do not separate State tick
ct at the same time they separate Presidential
ticket is that they intend vote directly for the
Lincoln candidates for State ofiicersr
We take it for granted that the report is correct
and that Mr. Douglas really used the above language
To say that the assertion is gross misrepresenta-
tion entirely destitute of a shadow of foundation,
is the mildeSt language that be employed in
gard to it. We haOr and can, therefore speak pos
Itivey, that no instructions given by the Ad-
mnstratOn, either directly indirectly, secretly
or openly, TO any federal officer, in Maine or any
where else, as to how he should vote; and we also
learn from reliable authority that the federal Off
GERS in Maine both voted and used their influence for
Mr.. Smart, the defeated candidate for governor We
know that such was the opinion of Mr.. Smart him
SELF and that he stated in public speech subse-
quent to his defeat.
We therefore authorltatively and uneduivocally
pronounce the above statement of Mr. Douglas to be
Hltrue, and made with full knowledge of its I'M
truth
Desperate as his cause really is fororn as is his
situation hopeless is his political prospect and
undignifed as is his course. we were not prepared
TO find him descend to wiful Misrepresentation and
calumny, in his desire to paliate his own guilt or
TO crafty his abOrtiVe malice.
He may be very anxious to shift from his own
shoulders the weight OF responsibility for the repub
lcap successes at the North, which must crush him.
but he cannot succeed in placing the smallest pOr-
ton of it on the shoulders of the Administration or
the gallant true democrats who are fighting for
Breckenridge and Lane. We defy Mr.. Douglas to
prove his words Washington Constitution oct. y.

BALTIMORE RADEEmED.
The PIag Ugiie. Defeated!


BALrnloRE, Oct l0-The election for city officers
took place TO day The RefOrmers have swept
everything city councils etc. Not solitary
American candidate being elected
The above head lines and all is copied from the
Louisville Denocret of last Thursday Finding that
the result of the Baltimore election is Breckenridge
and Lane triumph, our contemporary, whose misfor-
tunes were they not the result of his own folly
would excite our commIseraton, yesterday morn
ing said:
''The Courier yesterday, had grand glorifcation
article over the Breckite strength of Baltimore.
They do not state facts correctly however, in claim
ing the Mayor elect, Mr. Brown to be Breckenridge
man. He is for Bell and Everett, and was support
ed by very large proportion of the Bell and Eve
rett party of that city"
Now, will it be good enough to tell us whether it
means thsg the election of Know Nothing-a Bell
and Everett man " ii to be rejoced over as it re-
joiced over the election of Brown on Thursday? Did
it mean on Thursday that Baltimore was redeem
ed BY the election of Know Nothing Mayor
But the Democrat cannot deprive the Demo-
cracy of the fruits by its denial. The Balti-
more Clipper, edited by L. A. Whitley formerly
of the Louisville Journal and now Secretary of the
National Union Commute at Washington City, on
the day of the election said
Remember that all these eUiS. and others still more az
qrauated WILL REVIVED BY THE RESTORATION OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO POWER and then reflect that the
election of George YIN. BrO,cn 1cH be TRIUMPH OF The
BREcKINRfDGE DEMOCRACY, and vote accordingly

Wording! 4
This is an important question which concerns
every man, nay, every child, and the unborn nil
lions of this Republic in the present stage OF our
history. Upon the Titan shoulders of the
Democratic masses the destinies of this Republic
have rested from the beginning of the present cen
fury. They have borne the burden through every
trying emergency of our cOuntry's career with the
kusty strength of a niatured manhood. They have
conducted the Confederacy to the highest pinnacle
of prosperity and renown They have falsifed the
hopes of the monarchist and the prOphesies of des
pots, by practically proving that Americans are
worthy of the free institutions that they enjoy
They have extended the area of our freedom to the
Rio Grande on the South and the Pacific on the West
They have upheld the Constitution and indicated
the equal rights Of the citizens and of the States
Shall the ground that they have fairly and nobly
won by their intelligence and their patriotism by
their devotion and tolls, be surrendered through
the Indifference the tmidity, the naction the want
of exertion and organization of the present genera
ton Of Democrats? If not, we beseech every Dem
ocrat in every county, in every district in every
city and city ward in every neighborhood, to work
from now until the election for our glorious cause
Work efficiently, work quietly, work with your in
different neighbOr, work even with your opponents,
and appeal to their native patriotism, to the COM
mon interest," common destiny and common sympa-
thies of us all, to avert the impending calamties,
and save our beloved country from the threatened
rule of Black Republicanisn, and from anarchy and
fratricidal strife. Appeal to them to support the
only ticket and the only candidates who can drive
back the hordes of Northern sectiOnalism and to
sustain the only party that has the numbers and the
will to make clean issue with the enemy, and that
asks nothing more than our rights under the Con-
stitulion Work until the sun of the 9th Of Novem-
Der shall set upon land saved from civil strife or
sectional domination Work for 'the green graves
Of your sires, God, and your native land See
that the true ticket is placed in the hands OF every
Democratic voter. See. that the sick, the aged and
the inirm are brought to the polls. See that the
lethargic spirits aroused to the Overwhelming
Importance of the crisis. See that victory crowns
our exertions. Woodwork and remember that
upon your success hang the destinies of the only
free confederated empire on the earth.

light or heavy in the balance the division of the
twentieth part of one poor scrupe, in the esti
nation of a hair. You well know that rights thus
yielded are rights withheld and withheld, too with
every aggrevation of insult and wrong Is that
the spirit Of Constitutional compact? Is that the
spirit which animated the great man and patriot
whose ashes repose upon the bank of the Potomac,
or of that other hero and patriot who finds resting
place in his long sleep amid the shades of the Her

Take Warning.

The Indiana Sentinel (Douglas) says
The effect of the recent Northern elections in the
South, we presume. will BE- to unite them in COM
mon party for the protection Of their peculiar inter
ests The leading men of the Southern States have
over and over again declared that the election of
Lincoln and the triumph of the Republican party
upon TIE sentiments avowed by the one and an
nounced by the other, would be ample cause and
would justify secession. A great many regard
these eyeat 4, foregQne QncIusion. The SINGER
ily OF the nonth IN the positions they have assum-
ed may soon be tested. We may. at an early day
whether the threat of dsunion, in the event Of
the election Of Lincoln, has been merely idle gas
cOnade a scare-crow TO brighten tmId nerves, or a
sincere determination. If Lincoln should be elect
en- one of the two results is certain either seces-
sion on the part OF the South OF else its subjuga
ton to the dominion of the prevailing anti-savery
sentiment of the North.

Glorious News,

From all parts of the State we have the most
cheering news. We hear of changes every day,
both from Bell and Douglas to Breckenridge and
Lane. Yesterday morning, member of one of the
respectable business firms in this city informed
us, that in his house there four men, including
himself, who have always been opposed to the
Democratic party, who deem it their duty IN this
momentous crisis to discard all political preudces
and to vote for Breckenridge and support the plat
form on which he stands Another gentleman, him
self friend of Bell and Everett, from Shelby coun-
ty. told friend of ours that in his immediate
neighbnrhood eight Bell and Everett men have
nOunced their intention to vote for the Democratic
candidates and with the South We were informed
last week, by gentleman of position, talent, and
influence, who has been making speeches for Doug
las that he feels it obligatory upon himself to aban
don 4 cause which can DOW do nothing more thar to
give the State to Bell; and he further told U.S. that
in few days he will give his to the public
for the course which he has determined to pursue.
We scarcely meet man who cannot tell US Of one
or more changes which has fallen under his own OBJ
servatiOn; do not receive letter that does not
bring good news of large accessions; we do not
read paper that does not give assurance that the
good cause is gaining ground and in all seriousness
We believe Kentucky is now safe for Breckenridge
and Lane Louisville Courier Oct I6.

We have all heard of the monkey who, wishing
to get his masters roasting chestnuts out of the
fire. caught the cat, and used pussy's paw to rake
the chestnuts from amid the burning embers. A
friend who started in the canvass for DOUGLAS, tells
US that in rejecting upon that fable he to the
conclusion that the BELL men were playing the
monkey, and using the Southern DOUGLAS men in
trying to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for Mr.
BELLS benefit. The BELL men, II successful, would
get the chestnuts. Whether successful or not would
simply scorched paws? Our friend is not satisfied
with the result of his reflections, and will go for
