DIsUNIONIsTs IN THE DOUG
LAS CAMP.

Herschc V. Johnson, candidate for
Vice President on the Douglas ticket, has
always been a violent disunionist and
ire-eutcr A few years pgo, he ran US
the Disunion candidate for Governor Of
Georgia, against Howell Cobb. He also
made a report in the Georgia Democrat
ic Convention in May, in which he repu-
dated Popular Sovereignty aud Odyocu-
ted Congressional protection to slavery in
the territories
Mr.. Gouldon ofG Ca. made fierce Doug
las speech at Baltimore, in which he Od-
vocatcd Popular Sovereignty, the reopen
ing Of the African Slave trade and boast
ed ihai he had negroes on his plantation
direct from Africa.
Hon. Pierre Soulc Of La. Is a support
er Of Douglus and disunionist. So is
Mr.. WicklifIo Of La. and John Forsytho
Of Mobile.
Mr.. Boyce of South Carolina, a most
rabid disunion fre-cator, is suid't be out
for Douglas.
Douglas himself and his friends have
never uttered a word Of rebuko to the dis
unionists Of the South.

Mr., Douglas sojourn in that city, ga con-

eral others, in which il was determined
that the best way to help him was TO or
gouize Bell-Everett clubs.
0N-The vote at the late election in
Kentucky was about 10000 less than a
full vote, Peters, tho Breckenridge can
didOte for Judge Of the Court Of Appeals

trary to first reports, by more than l, >
900 majority. The plurality for Combs

Newark Mercury says; sour inlorma-

vorablo character. The probabilities are
that Mr., Lincoln will carry plurality in
every county Of the State, with the sim

aud yet it seems difficult to properly guard
ourselves when the victory can scarcely

Of Democracy, was treated in the same

by the Douglssites Of this county, be-
cause they win not become maa-iCorshfp-

as .Ghhy cscresehces," a. disunionists,
nullifiers and traitors, and oil kinds Of a.
busive epithcts are hcaped upon them.
They ore kicked out Of conventions and
arc not allowed to associate with the party
Now this is none Of our funeral, but
we ask, is il fair Are not the Brccken-
ridgers Just as much entitled 20 the name
Of democrat, as the Douglasitesi Why
should they be thus mal-treuted and abus-
edl Why should they be snubbed and
denied a voice in courty conventional
The Douglositcs Of this county are de-
termined to monopolisc the whole thing
and the Brockenridgers must stay out in

county ticket arc fierce Douglas men,

The telegraph informed our readers a
day or two ago, that this honest old far.
mer Congressman had been re-nominat-
ed by his Republican constituents Of the
Ninth District, by aoolamatiun. This
was an endorsement most worthily given.
Hon. John Carey is eminent for his hon

and the Government were made up who'll

sity for investigating committees. Judge
Carey, more than any other man in bis

all classes. His denomination bliahts
the hopes of the Democracy in the Ninth
District, Who were ahttering themselves
that the old Judge would not consent 70
be a candidate the second time. His re-

Democratic County Convene
tiOu


The Democrats had their pow-wow
az the Court House on Monday. The
attendance, owing to the multiplicity Of
candidates, was respectable. After
great deal Of hrOat-cuhing and sharp
practice, the mountain completed It's la
bors and brought forth the following
mice:
Probate Judge-T. II. BAeBY, ofTifin.
TreasWer-SAML. HERRiS,
Cicrt-Gro. s. CHRisrLrr, Of Hopowell.
Sheri6-FnANK WAGNER Of Tinin.
A Uaitor-lsAAC KAGY Of Adams.
COmmissiOne, Orr Of Bloom.
TRfrmay Director-B. ZIMMERMAN Of
Liberty.
Coroner PAUL DoLLIS0ER Of Scipio.
Tho ticket is respectable in point Of
chOrootcr--we have nothing to say
against the candidates personuly-it is
only their principles that we find fuult
with. We believe they urc oil follow
crs Of the little "Dodgcr" and worship
at the shrine Of bogus Popular Sove-
reignty.
There was a great deal Of under-hand-
ed muncuvering and shrcwcd wirc-pul-
ling in the Convention and some of the
best men in the party were slaughtered
without mercy, The "cliquc" had the
thing all cut aud dried to suit themselves,
but in some instances they slipped up on
their calculations. Tho nomination for
sheriff is the best FOR the Republicans
that could huve bcon made. Il secures
the election Of Wcirick beyond doubt
We think that Metzgcr and Horncr were
most shumefully treated, For a while,
Mclzgor evidently had the inside track,
but combination was formed against
him ard he was kicked overheard. Tiff
fin gave him cold comfort. Houck and
Augler, both lifelong democrats, who
have stood by the party through thick and
thin, were snubbed with pultry vote
aud Wagner, the stool-pgeon Of Dagby,
was nominated over them. There was
"cheating round the board" and tho nom
ination fell like a wet blanket.
Gross was cheated out of the nominu-
ton for Auditor by she "cliquc," who de-
serted him and went for Kapy, while
Burns, who was slaughtered by his pol T.
cal friends twoy yearsago, was put oirwith
he poor compliment OF 70 OF 20 votes.
Poor BurnAi nut Knpy, although no got
Vhe nomination Wy sharp ptne,leo. over
such "old stngers' as Snook, Gross and
burns, will find il "hurd shedding" to run
against Mr.. powe, Phillip Emick, the
best German who was before the Con-
vention, was sold by the friends OF Wag-
ncr.
Tho ticket is weak one aud will be
easily beaten.

VIII the Tribune please give its read
ers the vote on the Homestead Bill in the
Senate Of the United Stotes on the 10Th
Of May, 1860, when Hamlin voted against
that bill although every other Rcpubli-
can Senator voted for itl viii Il deny
thisi--A dUsriiser.
or course we will. Mr.. Hamlin has
always been a true friend Of the Home
stud measure and he voted against the
Senate Bill, because IL was a counterfeit
concern, having the name without the
spirit. Il denied the benefits Of the bill
to single men over 81, TO UNNATU-
RALLIED FOREIGNERS and to pre-.
emptors. II confined its benefits to lands
subject to private entry, which are only
those remaining after public land sale
and the spectators and sharks have had
their pick. There arc no lands Of any
consequence in Minnesota, Washington
and Oregon, to which the Senate Bin
would apply, and but little in California,
Texas, Kansas AMI Nebraska.
Mr.. Hamlin voted against this Hum
bug, because il was illberal and unjust
in It's provisions and q mere sham to
screen the democratic party aud he gives
his reasons for so doing In the words
following:-[see Congressional Globe,
May ilth.l
Mr.. HAMLIN. / am very much in
the same situation with the Senator from
Massachusetts, with this distinctions: ]
am against the bill, and ! am going 10
vote against Il; / am going % leave
record consistent with my Judgment !
think the bill is wrong. do not think
there would be mach harm in worshping
IL, for / do not think il bears any simili-
tude 20 anything above the earth or be.
meath the skies that you can call home
stead. Tho men who have taken Il under
their peculiar care arc the enemies Of the
homestead principle, and they propose to
pass H. | am perfectly willing they
should DO so; but they tell us, and they
tell us very frankly, that il ia not home
stead bill, aud II is not. Now sir, il be-
ing no homestead bill / will not vote for
II. voted 10 substitute the House bill
for this bill; but those who have the con-
troll Of the matter have put Il into posi-
which think is unjust. There are things
in that bill for which | cannot vote
There are things that ought 10 90 into Il
to make it justifable, to enable mo 10
give il my vote. For these reasons shall
vote against IL.
When the House Bill, which was lib
oral and just and worthy Of the name,
came to the Senate, Mr.. Humlin VOT.
ED TO SUBSTITUTE IT FOR THE
SENATE BILL and so did every other
Republican, while the democrats VOT-
ED AGAINST 1T AND VOTED TT

has ever been introduced into Congress, :,
has been defeated by democratic yotos,a and
we are prepared to prove it.

The Adrertiser crows ever a Douglas
triumph in Missouri, when the fact is the
Republicans have elected two members
Of Congress, Blair in the lst aud Rollins
in the I'd District. Rollins is an cmOn-
cipationist and will act with the Rcpubli-
cans.
There is no certainty that any Of the
democrats, elected to Congress, are for
Douglas.
Tho fact that c. +. Jucksou is elected
Governor is no indication how the state
will 90 in November. He was the rcgu-
lar nominee and was supported by Doug

that Douglas, if elected, is TO favor, by

monopolise them and hold them at such
