cause the platform presented by sixteen
States, n majority of which were Republi.

adopted by a vote of Ayes 237l, Nay,
65l; the vote on tho second resolution
was, Ayes 303, Nays 0; on the third
Ayes 262I Nays 2O4; and on tho fourtl

form is wrong, call their attention tc

Look Before yOu Lean,

There are some men, good men too,
who sympathizc with the Breckenridge
movement that should stop and consider
that every vote cast for Breckenridge in
Ohio is vote to aid Lincoln in carving

ity OF tho Brccknridge leaders who
would prefer the election of Lincoln tc
the success of Douglas but there are some
OF the rank and file who arc not SO and
these should ponder well before they
throw their votes away on candidates who
cannot get even respectable vote,

Miserable E'igZIeS.

The Republican enthusiasm is nothing
like that of 1856. Their meetings are al
failures, their party is without enthusi
asm, without hope and appears to be il
the last stages of galloping consumption
Their candidate is long legged, gang
ling cuss who has no record save that o
infamy and in this the candidate is admir-
ably adapted to the party-they are both
miserable fzzles.

The BreckiNridgc Boilers Play
cd cut. TiSSOUri and EAcn~
tuCky have SpOken.

tuCky have spoken.
The Federal oflice-holders and expect
ants who have been boastng that Breck
inriige would carry every State have sud
denly subsidized since the recent elections
in Kentucky and Missouri. They see the
hand writing upon the wall, and that too
so plainly that no man can mistake that
it fore shadows the utter route of the bolt
ers ia November.
Kentucky, the home Of Breckinrilge
that gave 5000 Democratic majority
one year ago now gives the Bell and Ev-
erett candidate over 10000 majority:
showing that there are at least so 600 vo-
ters less for Breckinridge than there were
one year ago. The boilers apologize for
their defeat by saying that the Douglas
men voted for the Bell candidate. Some
of them may have done so, but the Rcpub
lican candidate come out in card and
urged his friends to all vote for the Breck-
inridge candidate, which they did. But,
whether the Douglas men voted for
Coombs, or for Rollin, who was an indie
pendent Douglas candidate, it matters not ;
they will not vote for Breckenridge, and
the result Of the election settles the ques-
ton to certainty that Breckinridgc cam
not come within 0,00O of carrying his
own State.
Missouri is still worse than Kentucky
on the boilers. The Douglas men have
carried everything; the Governor, seven
Members Of Congress and the State Leg
islature. The Breckenridge candidate for
Governor was beaten over fifty thous-
and votes.
SO far from Breckenridge getting every
Southern State we do not believe that hC
can get forty electoral votes, and We
would not be surprised if he did not get
one. In 1S44 the Wings asked, "who i,
James X. PolkY' In 1852 they asked
the same of General Pierce. Tho Brcck
inridge boilers ask where Stephen y
Douglas will get an electoral vote, an,
the people will answer that question il
the same way that they told who Polk anC
Pierce were. Watch and pray.

Rail Splitting and WOOd Chop

TO Young Men.

Young men, you have noticed with
what pride and pleasure old men speak of
the votes they cast for Jackson. The men
who voted for jackson talk of it as
among the most commeEdable deeds o.
their lives. We often hear even those
who have gone astray from the Democrat
ic faith boast that they were once Jack
son Democrats. This is because Gcner-
al Jackson was man of the people and
friend of tho masses. lie Svas an advo-
cate for popular soveregnty-the rights
and interests aud equality of all American
citizens. Under all circumstances, and
in all cases he did what he considered
right without regard to the opposition he
had to encounter. When Federal Office
holders made war upon him, when the
House sought to disgrace him and the
Senate censured him, and when the threats
and the gold of bankers and spectators
were employed to crush him out, then it
was, while armed with truth and right,
that he boldly and firmly met all, fought
all, and conquered all twas this heroic
bravery aud spotloss integrity that gave
him homo in tho hearts of the people
that will be retained so long as those
hearts continue to pulsate.
The history Of Stephen A.. Douglas
bears striking parallel to that of Gencr-
al Jackson. Judge Dauglas has ever been
firm and valiant in battling for what he
considers right. He was one of the mas
ter hands in arranging tho compromise
measures Of 1850; he was the leader in
carrying out those compromise measures
in 1854 by the passage of the Kansas Nc
braska Bill which secures to the people
of tho Territories, like those of the States,
the right to regulate their own affairs in
their own way. He has sustained these
great principles of self government under
the most trying circumstances. When
his friends in both branches of Congress,
and all the power and patronage of tho Adj
ministration were combined to drive him
from his position, that obnoxious laws
might be forced upon an unwilling peo-
pie he planted himself upon the I, elk of
equal rights, and almost solitary and alone
lie boldly breasted tho storm; dcfying
alike it's fury and its power. lie met and
vanquished in dobatc all the Senators who
dared to measure lances with him, and
all the power that could be used to crush
him out. or drira him from his position
was driven like chaif before the wind
Like jackson he met all and conquered
all; and like the hero of tho Hermitage h,
has won tho confidence and esteem of III,
people TO an unparalleled degree. IL
years to come the young men who now
vote for Stephen A. Douglas will boas,
of itas old men now boast of havinl
voted for Andrew Jackson. So certain a
to-morrow's sun rises and sets tho grea
doctriue of non intervention and popula
rights will become the settled policy o
our government, and their gallant cham
pion will be honored through all comns
time. The young men who east thc
votes for Stephen 4. Douglas will ncve
regret it,

A number of enthusiastic Republicans
somewhere down East have discovered
that "honest old Abe" don't wear his

They b'car Him.

The Republican, and Breckenridge pa
pcrs and stumpers are very severe on
DOUGLAS; they never think Of fighting
each other. The reason of this is that
they fear the "lttlc Giant" they know
the people are for him, and they fear that
office, gold and threats will fail to drive
the voting masses away from him.

TWO Days Inter.

Sr LOUIS, Aug. l2.-As far as heard from,
Jackson leads Orr for Governor 6,290 votes.
His majority will reach from ten to if-
teen thousand. To make the defeat of
JACKSON, the DOUGLAS candidate for Gov
crnor, perfectly sure, GARDENsHIRE, the
Republican candidate declined Just before
the election and published a letter beseech
ing his friends to vote for ORR, the BELL
candidate, 1t appears that most of them
did so, for GARDENsmRE has not got so
many votes in II counties as BLAIR got in
in the city of st. Louis alone. When
these Black Republicans vote by them
selves, as they will have to do for LIN
COLIN, DOUGLAS will carry the State by
tWenty Mc"sond.
