The Placer herald., 1860-09-01
w. D. Morgan on Douglas.

fluential Democrats in Ohio, gives the fol-
lowing reasons for refusing to support
Douglas:
l. He is not the candidate of the Democ-
racy Of the whole United States, but was
nominated by disrupted Convention, whose
elements were almost as sectional rs those
of the Convention at Chicago, which, as the
Douglas Convention a, Baltimore, contained
scattering delegates from several Of the
slave States.
2. To vote for Judge Douglas in Ohio,
in his present position as half nominated
candidate, would do him no good; because
after receiving our vote he would still lack
10000 to 100000 votes of carrying the
electoral vote of Ohio.
g. Because Judge Douglas, being an ir-
regular candidate, and his forced nomination
being destitute of any element emitting it
to respect, therefor to vote for him would
be to become his voluntary ndorser.
4. Because we believe Judge Douglas
leadership Of the Democratic party has been
tickle, headstrong, selfish ard unsafe, and
brought upon the Democracy numberless
defeats that wise counsels and skllfu gener
alshp would have avoided.
S. Because Judge Douglas, actua.ed
solely by considerations connected with per-
soua ambition, commenced a war upon the
Nationa! Administration of the Democratic
party, and by combination between him
self, Broderick, Forney, Hickman, Haskins
and the Black Republicans in general, sue
ceeded so far in weakening its strength be-
fore the people as to throw the lower house
Of Congress into the hands of the Know
Nothngs and Black Republicans.
G. Because Forney Haskins, Morris of
| Illinois and other enemies of the Demo-
cratic party, known to be in the personal
confidence and favor of Judge Douglas,
prompted and voted for getting up the
Gov de and other infamous Committees,
having for their sole object the disgrace of
the President and Cabinet, and the Democ-
racy bv whom they were defended.
T. Because Judge Douglas, by aiding
and abetting in the nefarous attempt 20
persuade the public mind that Mr.. Buchanan
and the National Administration of the
Democratic party, sought to iasten slavery
on an unwilling people, has done more to
manufacture recruits for the Republican par
ty than has been accomplished toward that
end by the whole Republican press Of the
Union during an equal period
g. Rern. 50 jus, 90 Doug no, .hrougl. his
principal "bowers and strikers" has sought
to degrade the great Democratic party of
the nation into one mans party, and to
make featy to Stephen A. Douglas a Test
of Democracy.
g. Because, to vote for Judge Douglas
after the unparAled course of his friends at
Char eston and Baltimore, would be to sane
ton that course, and thus to give An en-
doIsement to the persistent and head strong
adherence of the delegates TO q man, and
at t. C sacrifice of the harmony, union and
success Of the Great National Democratic
party of the Union.

unity. Major Geo. T. Ward who led the
Taylor party in that State in l8+S, the Pen
sacola Observer informs us, has declared his
preferences for the ticket, and every Demo

ridge and Lane. Douglas is entirely out Of
the race. " 0. Courier.
MlssoUR1.-T St. Joseph (Mo) Journal,
