some masked adyics to the Uoion men Of In
diana. Net to be laggard in good Offices, the
Union men Of Indiana have Just been giving q
hint or 20 to the Hon. John J. Critteuden. We
trust lie takes. The Union men Of Illinois viii
gire him an equally significant hint on the 9Th
Of November.
The Doug'as State Committee Of New Jer-
sey met on Friday at the Astor House, and dc.
tezmined to adhere to the Electoral ticket they
hare in nomination.
The Dreckinridge State Committee Of fenn-
sylsanis, have sternly resolved to have nothing
more to do With fusion, whether with Bell men
Of Douglas men. 1t is wise determination.
a NEW SESsAr1ox.-There is widely preTa-
lent rumo. in Washington, saJs the Werlds
correspondent, to the effect that successful sf.
forts are being made for the withdrawal Of both
Douglas and Breckenridge from the tie!d, and
the concentration Of the liberated Democratic
vote on Bell, or some other independent candi-
date. Douglas and Dreekinridge have been
consulted within the last twenty. -four hours.
DkLAwARE.--Hon. George p. Fisher has been
nominated for Congress by both the Constltu.
tiontl Union party and the Peoples (Lincoln)
purity. Mr. Fisher is eminently fair, couserEa-
tive man, aud if elected, which seems probable,
he will gise the Administration Of President
Lincoln candid support.
HoLplSG OFFICE UNDER L1XcoLs.-The Nash
willie (Tenn.) Patriot says that none Of The pres
ent Southern Democratic ofice-holders will de-
cline to continue in Office under LINCOLN. The
question was asked the Memphis Aralancht,
whose editor is Postmaster, and fire-eater,
whether any Southern man would hold o' CO
under Lincoln. That paper replied that the
question was impertineut and an attempt to
drag the private .aairs Of the senior editor
into discus.ion, and said it, would not reply to
the question.
The Iowa City Fighter says that the bell
on the Catholic Church in that city WAS rupg
when Mr.. Donglas arrived, but that all the
other c,y bells remained silent

We find in the Columoia Is. CO. Guuriian
the following paragraph:

RED in the election just held, Jet it is proper
occasion to call the attention nf The people to q

aad degrading and corruptlng TO q large portion
OF the voters.
This certainly needs explanation. It looks
very much as if our Sout3ern brethren had
more than one "peculiar institution" among
them. In this section Of the country the propo-
sition to "pcn up" voters previous to an cleo
tion, would excite something more than an ap.
peal to the Legislature for resiet.
JEFFERSON CoCxrY, 0u1o-This county has
been The brag county Of the Breckinridgers, and
not without reason. The S:eubenvi:le Union,
the Democratic organ, declared for Breckenridge
in the early part cf the CANVASS, and the old
atagers Of the party repudiated Douglas and
Sqaat SoE. A test rote in J.derson was taken
at the State election on Congressman. The
Douglas and Bell men fused on Wells, and tie
Nationals brought out Mr. D!tkely az the B1eck-
inridee candidate. The Nationals bent the
Dous slas fusoui=ts $50, while the Republicans
rolled up majority Of $50, au increase Of 800
on tbrie majority in 1869.
