Please publish the following reasons,
among others, why Democrats cannot sup.
port Mr. Douglas for President:
A DEMOCRAT.
|. lie is not candidate of the Democracy
of the whole United States, but was nomina-
ted by disrupted Convention, whose ele
ments were almost as sectional as those of
the Convention at Chicago, which, as we'll as
the Douglas Convention at Baltimore, con-
tanned only scattering delegates from several
of the slave States.
9. To vote for Judge Douglas. in his pre-
sent position as differentiated candidate.
would do him no good.
3. Because Judge Douglas, being an irreg-
ular candidate, and his forced nomination
being destitute of any element emitting it to
respect, therefore. to vote for him would be
to become his voluntary endorser
f. Because Judge Douglass leadership OF
the Democratic party has been tickle, head
strong, selfish, and unsafe, and has brought
upon the Democracy numberless defeats that
wise councils and skillful generaiship would
have avoided.
). Because Judge Douglas, ac;uated solely
by considerations connected with his personal
ambition, commenced war on the National
Administration of the Democratic party. and
by combination between himself, Brod-
erick. Forney, Hickman, Haskins, and the
Black Republicans i'll general, succeeded SO
far in weakening its strength before the PEG.
pie, as to throw the lower house of Congress
into the hands of the Know Nothings and
Black Republicans.
6. Because Forney, Haskins, Morris of
Illinois, and other enemies of the Democratic
party, known to be in the personal conf
dence and favor of Judge Douglas. prompted
and voted for getting up the Coyode and
other Infamous Committees, having for their
sole object the disgrace Of President Buct-
anan, his Cabinet, and the Democracy by
whom they were defended.
!. Because Judge Douglas, by aiding and
abetting in the netarious attempt to persuade
the public mind that Mr.. Buchanan, and the
chosen National Administration Of the Dem
ocratic party, sought to fasen slavery on an
unwilling people, HAS DONE MORE TO MANI
FACTURE RECRUITS FOR THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
THAN HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED TOWARD THAT
END BY THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PRESS OF THE
UNION DURING AN EQUAL PERIOD.
8. Because Judge Douglas through his
principal blowers and strikers has sought
to degrade the great Democratic party OF the
nation into one mans party. and to make
fealty to Stephen 4. Douglas a test OF De-
mocracy.
9. Because, to vote for Judge Douglas after
the unparalleled course of his friends at
Charleston and Baltimore, would be 10 sane
ton that course, and thus to give an endorse
ment to the persistent and headstrong adhe-
renee Of the delegates to man, at the sac
rifce of the harmony, union, and success of
the great National Democratic party OF the
Union.

Napolaou III at Baden.


The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon happened TO be
at Baden at the time of the conference be-
tween the French Emperor and German
princes, and I. letter from him has been pub
iished giving characteristic description oi
the manner in which the Emperor was re-
ceiyed bv the populace. lie says the mani
fasrations of dislike among the Germans
were unmistaka ble-that there was actually
much hissing-but that the chief thing wns
the dead GOODNESS. This was the case not
only mt Baden. but also on the departure OF
his Majesty for StraSbourG. The silence on
the latter occasion, says Mr.. Spurgeon, Was
more profound than had ever remarked
before. Standing on the edge Of the crowd
like that Of DEATH" As the Duke CT Baden
rode back to his castle the people gave him
loyal cheers.
On the Emperor's passage through Stras-
bourg, however. Spurgeon says
"There were great crowds in the streets,
liberal display Of flags and streamers, and
great multitudes Of soldierY. The Emperor
seemed to be enthusiastically received iii
this border city Of France. Every one APP
pcared to be happy and full of excitement,
and when we rode along TIE streets alter the
Emperor had departed We were struck with
the number Of country people, who had evil
IDENTITY come from their rural homes to see
the great sight. The whole city was like a
great fair, and the tri-colored flags and gar
lands of oak leaves presented a most attrac-
tive Appearance"
G. p. L. JANEs'S LAST EVENING IN AMERI-
cA.-..i correspondent Of the World writes:
The evening before he sailed from these
shores, never to return, | spent with him at
the Union Place Hotel. lie was in great flow
of spirits. His plans for the remainder Of
his life were settled. He was going to Venice
as consul genera! for the Adriatc, position
worth some $4,000 per aunum. In four
years he would return to America and take
up his residence permanently in Philadel-
phia. Irving was with Us, and when the
two friends shook hands, it was with the ex-
pecta!ion Of meeting again at the expiration
of this time. They have met at the end of
the long journey sooner than either expected!
James was relatingto Us, among other things,
certain leave-takirg occurrences, at Rich
mond on his departure from that city. The
mere mention OF the cordiAlity shown him by
the Virgrians quite overpowered him, and IN
Il choked voice he exclaimed. They're II
