DouglasEtock on the Decline in the
Nortk- Breckenridge Stock Rising
Bell Nowhere.


The sigls are right. The Belleverite no
minationsin the Northern States are regarded
simply i the light of joke. They have
scarcely any supporters in that region
Douglas fast losing ground, and Breckenridge
is gainini with unprecedented rapidity. The
conservative masses are embracing his cause
as the ony one which can save the govern
ment from the grasp of the Black Republican
destruciYes whose triumph will result in the
destruction of the Union.
We hye now before us the Detroit Demo-
crat of De 23rd ult.-the leading organ of the
Democlcy of Michigan-carrying at its mast
head tie names of Breckenridge and Lane.
Thi|able paper presents the following view
ofthebattle- in the Northern States:
Immediately after the nominations were
mad9 at Baltimore for President and Vice Pre-
sidet, twas thought by many that the whole
Nom would rally enthusiastically in aid Of
Stehen A. Douglas. In fact the confidence
waso great among his friends ofsuch a state
oftings. that for time they denounced, with
grst indignity, the idea of uniting, in any
Stae, with the Breckenridge or Bell and
EVrett party.
Things are now slightly different. Their
imained strength is rapidly vanishing. Doug
las sock is sinking while that of Maj. Brock
inriee is gaining daily. There are hundreds,
and even thousands, who, upon reflection,
hesats about supporting faction which
moscertainly stands not show of chance
OF success at the approaching election, and
who, in all human probability, will cease to
Hs the election shall have posed
BreckHdge and Lane upon the only true
democratic ticket, and the only Democratic
ticket which can hope for success, or can be
the basis f future party operations, attracts
acquisitions from the Douglas ranks every
day. lhre are numerous journals, hereto
fore in the interest of the Douglas faction and
the Linsolifactionl declaring openly for Brock
inridge andLane but we hear of none going
over to Doulas, a. they regard that cause as
sinking CRIT.
"The boland manly front kept up by the
Breckinridgering is the admiration Of Demo-
Gratis generay, and gives it incalculable
strength.
"The StatConventions of New York, YER
mont, Ohio, ad Virginia, and the State Con-
ventions calls and soon to be holden, in
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois,
placing in thdieh electoral tickets for Brock
inridge and ane, have opened the eyes Of
Douglasites. The friends of the latter are
now preparedo join hands with any party.
They hayejd joined in an electoral ticket
in New Yorlwith the Bell and Everett party,
which party the lineal descendant of the
"Native Alndcan" party, which supported
Fillmore for lie Presidency.

of a show forae election of Mr.. Douglas il
