Great efforts are just now being made by the
ultra Southern men in South Carolina and Mis-
si.sippi, to secure the election OF huch gentle,
men to the Legislature in these Statss as val
instruct their Senators, and request their rep
resentatyes rot to take their seats, IN case LIN
coin is elected President. The extreme South.

measures, and it is their intention to do 50, IN
the hope Of intimidasing the North.
DOUGLAS At TIE SOUTH.
Douglas is utterly PROSTATE 1t the South, and
has been confidently predicted for the last
mouth that Alexander II. Stephen, Of Georgia.
would take the stump for Douglas, but up TO
this time he has maintained an om'uous silence,
which looks Us though he was afraid 10 tnee
the public sentiment Of his State. 4 gentle
ha is emphatically played out" Ut home; That
the people have entirely lost confidence IN him,
aod 1hat he has been shorn Of the once power
ful influence he welded.

aud voters should determine tLelr action ac-

your State rs certain fur Douglas. The Bell
men, with the snme impudence, claim SeT

So goes the game Of brag.
TIE TROUBLES AT occoQuAS, VA.
HappiIy terminated without biuodshed. The re-
suit can in no wise ipju.e the Republican p1rty.
It is but another Of the many instances Of FRO
