ns~Beyond doubt, the probability is
that the Black Republicans will elect
their candidate for the Presidency. Such
certainly would be the result if the cleo
ton was now to AXE place; and we can
see nothing which has TRANSFERRED since
the nominations for the Presidency were
made, calculated to inspire reasonable
expectations of any favorable change in
the future. 1t is now clear that the
weak and vain appeals to the Squatter
Sovereignty Democrats, in the North, to
unite the Democratic party in any way,
in view of the approaching elections,
have utterly failed. They intended to
rule or ruin the Democratic party of the
North; and by their steady resolution,
to force all Northern Democrats to go
with them, OF to take defeat with the
success of the Black Republican party.
This policy will fail. And, as soon as
the Squatter Sovereignty Democrats per.
ceive clearly that it will fail, large bodies
of them will go over to the Black Re
publican party, to secure the election of
their candidates. Col. Richardson, Mr..
Douglas most intimate friend and party
manager, has openly declared that, next
to Douglas, he will support Lincoln for
the Presidency. This is most natural,
as the Squattcr Sovereignty policy diff
fers not at all. in the end to be attained,
from the Black Republican. The next
three months will, therefore, in all prob.
ability, sift the Presidential election
into a more distinct sectional antagon.
ism. Bell and Douglas, in the North
and South, will fade away into shad.
dows; and the real struggle will take
place between Lincoln and Breckenridge
the North and theSouth. [Charles.

Mr.. Breckenridge is contained in a state
ment made by him in a public speech,
that he would rather vote for one of
his countrymen than a foreigner, all
oher things being equal" This is GER
tainly a very grave ~offense, considering
that in the very next sentence he de-
nounced the Know Nothing organization
upon high moral and Constitutional
grounds.
I am afraid a foreigner, one Of Mr..
Savagc's own class, an Irislman, for in
stance, wouldn't vote for one Of his own
countYymen in preference to anybody
else, sail other things being equal" or
unequal. If that be Know Nothingism,
then make the most of it.
There is much more in this speech
which is worthy to be reproduced in the
columns of the Advocate and read by all
Southerners, and by all who have a taste
for wit, keen satire, and fine rhetoric.
We have only room for one more extract,
in which Mr.. Douglas New England
tour is admirably served up:
Where is Mr.. Douglas now? Refresh
ing his recollection of American history
at the base of Bunker Hill, under the es-
cort Of that little coterie of gentlemen
who compose the Douglas Democracy of
MISUNDERSTANDING to gather
some of the dust of Webster upon his
shoes, and trying like a dull tourist to
grow eloquent from association - re-
lieving college exercises from the wea-
risome elegance Of classic recitations by
the inelegant WEAKNESS of his distin-
guished platitudes Of self:government-
describing to astonished savans in the
shades of Harvard, the origin of Squat
ter Sovereignty, and watering all the
schools" with his endless repetitions On
the great principle which underlies"
and outlies all other principles. 1t is
not custom, I believe, for Presidential
nominees to advocate upon the stump
their two superior merits for that high
office.
