to statement that the opposition party Of
Alabama had repudiated Bell and Everett, and
declared their purpose to support Breckin-
ridge and Lane, says -" We prefer Mr.. Lin
coin before either of the democratic nominees,
and if driven from our support of Mr.. Bell by
the treachery of our leading men-if our party
is to be sold out to either wing of the Democ
racy-then we are for Lincoln, with tens of
thousands of others in good old Maryland"
The Marion (0hio,) Republican says: We
hear of changes all over the country in favor
Lincoln and Hamlin. Men who have never
voted anything else but Democratic ticket
now announce their intention to support the
Republican nominees. They are tired of the
corruptions and proiigacy of the present adj
ministration, and are determined to have a
change.
The Providence Journal says, the Newport
Advertiser pulls down the Douglas flag and
falls from the Douglas ranks. 1t is stricken
with the doubt and uncertainty which afflct
so many of the Democratic papers in the
land. We have observed that in the other
Democratic papers that condition is Fremont
tory symptom Of a coming attachment to
Breckenridge. The Advertiser has concluded,
"n accordance with the views of disinterested
friends, to wait until the Democratic differ

waiting.

sneering allusion to Carl Schurz, the Journal
thus speaks 1--WE think that in that para
graph our neighbor took more pains to be

guard. Although black republican and
radical, he is one of the profoundest and most
philosophical and powerful thinkers of the |
age, and he always gives utterance to his views
in language remarkable for its clearness, its
classical accuracy, and its eloquence."

New recruits are daily flocking into his ranks
from the boiling Douglas faction. On Friday |
last the republicans held a mass meeting of
$4,000 strong at Rock Ridge. There were
5000 vehicles in attendance. On the same

1t is understood that the contest in the third
congressional district of New York will be
resumed this fall between Gen. Walbridge and
Mr.. Sickles. Both parties have addressed cir

The New York Journal of Commerce says
From what we see and hear, we are inclined
to believe that the Breckenridge vote in this
city will much exceed the Douglas vote, not
withstanding the latter has the endorsement of
Tammany Hall and Mayor Wood. Among
the merchants there is an Unprecedented de-
gree of unanimity."

vate letter: "If Massachusetts should happen
to vote for Douglas, he may possibly get the |
