sy- The Douglas balf of the double
headed Denocrscy met at the Court
House on Saturday evening, July the
7th inst. for the purpose of forming
Douglas Club. Conspicuous posters an
nounced thi, fact for a day previous, but
at the second ringing of the bell, only
about 80 persons made their appearance,
nearly half of whom were Republicans,
who were sttracted bither BY curiosity. to
see Of what material the Douglas DemOc
rscy was composed, and rather to our
surprise we found it composed of about
equal parts of what we're, but few
months or weeks ago, Douglas Cursers
aud Buchanan Cursers-but number Of
the former were not present. This sure
ly is very peuliar material out of which
to make Douglas Democrats. The only
query presented to our minds is, will they
last, or will they, like the mushroom sooD
.uu their course.
To take it altogether, to outsiders, it
was rather an amusing sight to witness
the futile efforts of those few faithful De-
mocrsts, to infuse new life into the faint
ing, PROSTATE Democratic body, for their
serious faces, their low Whispering, and
heavy sighs, clearly evidenced the mel
sncboly fact, that they were convinced
that the Democracy was rapid > approach
ing its end.
We hope that our Democratic friends
will grieve but lightly over their loss, for
it is thus that the fates will. If they are
true patriots, we can assure them that
there is no occasion for sorrow, but that
they should rather rejoice, for the adpin-
istration of the Government, which has
for the last eight years been SO shameful
ly abused by the DcmoCracy, is about to
be transferred to the hands of man
whose name has become a synonyme for
honesty, and whore talents and ability
are unquestioned.

FOURTH OF JULY.

BY THE BARD OF THE EAsToN HALL OF FASHION.
IT'S the Fourth of July,
And our Eagle flies high,
A-clappng his pinions together;
But the drawback to joys,
Both for men and boys,
Is the sultry, in1ammable weather.
We simmer and roast,
Till we're brown as toast
Our shirt collars wilt, and are wetted,
By the fierce gIaring sun,
We are all over-done-
And our tempers get rusty and fretted>
But JOY of all Joys,
Both TO men and to boys,
Behold where Pyle's banner is flying
Here is speedy relief
From our hot summer grief,
Aud coolness, to those who are frying.
Go and purchase suit, --
Then from neck to boot
You'll be cool as the coolest cucumber,
For material he sells
Which checks and dispels
All the warmest simoons of midsummer.
UF The handsomest assortment of Ready
Made Clothing and piece goods ever seen IN
Easton is now on exhibition, at Pyle's Great
Easton Hall of Fashion, opposite the EastOa
Bank.

The Contest Between Breckenridge and

The contest detween Messrs. Breekin
ridge and Douglas has no reference what
ever to the result of the Presidential cleo
ton in November. The leaders of both
sides freely admit that question is practi-
cally settled, and nothing but the legal
foru.alities are necessary to complete Mr..
Lincolns success. Their struggle is for
the control of the future organization OF
the party. snd nothing more. The de-
sign is to crurb Mr.. Douglas out entirely.
and leave him powerless hereafter. AT
ter the 4th of March next, he will be SOL
tary aud alone in the Senate as Mr..
Pugb has already been voted into exile
By Ohio, and no other has espoused bis
cause. The Breckenridge Executive
Conrittee having abundant command of
means, and control of the official corps
throughout the country, intend to organ
ize independently in every State, and to
run an electoral ticket which will not be
withdrawn or compromised by any bar
gain. They are in for the war, and to
the kuife, and bave notified temporiEing
followers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New Y ork, that no fusion or comb
nation ticket will be accepted on any
terms, They consider any temporary
coalition as calculated to demoralize their
ultimate object, while it is incapable Of

general purpose will soon be announced
in a more authoritative form.

and that is, that he was the competition
of Judge Dayton for the Vice Presidency
in the Philadelphia Republican COnven-

linois and the West, and only owing to
the fact that Fremont was from the West,
be would have been nominated. Judge
Dayton was urged by New Jersey and a

that be would unite the Americans on the
