Emilimsinsin for DnmEIns.

Never in the whole history of our
country has Presidential nomination
been received with such unbounded en-
thusiasm as that of Stephen A. Douglas.
Hurrs for Douglasl is the cry from hill
and from valley throughout the length
and breadth of the land. 1t comes from
the old men, and the young men; from
women and children. 1t comes from the
pow and the harvest field; from the
workshops of mechanics and from the
homes of the people. The office holders,
and the Office seekers may spend their
money to start gunpowder enthusiasm
for Others but the enthusiasm for Doug
las is in the hearts of the people. We
have been travelling over the country most
of the time for several weeks, and we have
watched the feelings of the people on this
great question. Every man has some
thing to say about Douglas, every wom-
an wants to know if he will be elected,
and wherever group of children are to-
gether they are hurraing for Douglas. 1t
is useless for politicians and tricksters to
attempt to turn back this tide of popular
enthusiasm. 1t comes from the people
the voting masses, the bone and sincw of
the Democratic marty and tho conserva-
tive men of other parties. 1t surpasse:
that which buoyed cold Hickory" above
all opposition, and it ioreshadows, with
unerring certainty, the election of Doug
las by an unprecedented ma ority.

The Lincoln uEuthus

Did any of our readers ever chance to
witness in farmers kitchen an attempt
to kindle fire in the morning with
parcel of green wood? If SO, he will re-
member how the few fragments OF fire that
had been kept over night were conven'
iently disposed, how the wood that
should have been kindling was cunning
ly arranged in proper proximity, and how
with breath and bellows the effort was
made to rouse generous and quickening
flame; but all in vain. The obstinate and
incorrigable watersoaked fuel would new
ee yield to the soft solicitations of the
fire. 1t sulked and simmered, and the
result ofthe experiment was, not that the
wood was ignited, but that the last
nights fire was put out. Such is the
condition of the Republican party at this
moment. The green wood is Abraham
Lincon and the last nights fire was the
Republican zeal that was existing before
his nomination. Not only can they kin
die no new enthusiasm in his behalf, but
all the old spirit is fast disappearing

"Mustang," the celebrated Mexican
correspondent of the New Orienas Delta,
writing shortly after the delivery of Lin
coins speech in Congress against the
Mexican war, and referring to those who
had made anti-war and anti-national
speeches in Congress, said:
If they had Mexican muskets on theil
shoulders, they could not assist the Mexi.
cans as much, or do us as much harm, as
they have done by their speeches. In the
name of God will the politicians of oul
country never cease gambling for the
Presidency upon the blood of our coun
trymcn? Our army breads no danger
nor do they fear to die in defense oftheil
country, but they do dislike to be sacri

politicians and political knaves, Is there
no way by which our friends at home,
can put a stop to the unpatriotic conduct
Of politicians who would sacrifice the
whole army in order to give tone to the
next presidential election? The army
will defend and fight tho battles of theil
country. Then let their friends at home

man. From an inheritance of compara-
tive poverty, he has, by his own exer-

are the legitimate objects of ambition to
the humblest in tho lard, as we'll as to

When ABE LINCOLN was in Congress
he was the left bower of TOW CoRwIN in
announcing the brave men who were fight
ing the battles of our country. He back
ed ConwIN in voting to starve them, and
voted with that arch-traitor against Civ
ing them bounty land. Whsn he returned
to his constituents they talked of riding
him on n rail as mark of esteem for his
base betrayal o: them. Was that the
same rail upon which he now proposes to
ride into the White House?

The Fame Of Lincoln.

Lincoln, an obscure country lawyer, is
so little known that not one half of the
people ever heard of him before he recciv-
ed tho Chicago nomination. There is
not ono hall of the Black Republicans
that can accurately pronounce his hume.
Two terms in the Illinois Legislature, two
years attending grocery, splitting fifteen
hundred rails in six weeks and eight days
and one term in Congress is all the polit
ical experience he has ever had-and, it
is about all he ever will have. lie would
make president about like they keep
tavern in Indiana.

The Nomination orDouxIas.

The Black Republicans and the boilers
join hands in a labored attempt to prove
that Douglas wss not nominated in accor-
dance with the usages of the party in for
mer Democratic Conventions; but the
facts are all against them, and all their
statements are false from beginning to
end. There was in the Convention at the
time of the nomination four huadred and
twenty fire Delegates, casting tlco hundred
and twelCe and half votes, and the reso-
luton declaring him the nominee of the
party according to its usages, ,cos passed
unanimously, there being not one dissent
ing vote upon it. These 425 Delegates
were from all portions of the Rel ublic,
except the States of South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, Texas, Florida, Oregon and Cal
ifornia. There was u labored effort for
three full days by the disunionists, the
Senate Junto and their aiders and abet-
tors in their Infamous work, to so disin.
tegrate the Democratic National Conven
tion, as TO reduce it to less than two
thirds Of the original body, but that fail
ed entirely. four hundred and twenty five
of the Six hundred and Six Delegates
standing firmly in the Convention and
maintaining the organization. Any man
who makes the assertion that Judge
Douglas was not fairly nominated accor-
ding to the usages Of the party, and by a
twothirds vote of the entire electoral col
hge, states that which the facts will not
Warrant. He was as fairly nominated as
any Democratic candidate has ever been,
and is therefore entitled to the support
of every honest and faithful Democrat in
the land. Any Democrat who refuses
his support to Judge Douglas must bC
looked upon as boltcr and disorganize
and he is fast placing himself withou
the pail of the party.

beastly intoxication. lIo had pint flask

CasIxcy on the JoliIAcatiom.

10 get up "the first hollcr" for Lincoln has
made them cross as so many bears with
sore heads. The great iollifica.on raised
by the Democrats, in five minutes notice,
ever tho nomination Of Douglas, is ex-
eecdingly annoying to the woolies. In
noticing the meeting Caskey seeks to de-
ride and ridicule it. Tho lowest, dirtiest
talsehoods that his added brains could in
vent wero brought into requisition in last
weeks Biack RepaJiican
He tries to make Johnathan Robbins,

I'm u Dilemma.

The Republican newspapers are con-
founded at the present aspect Of political
affairs. Whatever may be the result of
the division in the Democracy to that
party, the Republicans see, in the present
attitude of the party, certain defeat before
the people for Lincoln. Even should
Douglas not be elected by the people, and
the election of President be thrown into
the House, Mr.. Bell would be far ahead
of Lincoln in the scale of chances. 1t is
event, would any one of the fifteen South
ern States. nor California and Oregon
vote for Lincoln. This puts him beyond
hope of an election in the House. 1t is
another obvious fact, that even if he is
not the the elected candidate by the peo-
yle, Mr.. Douglas will carry enough of
the Northern and North Western States
to defeat Lincoln. i. strikes us that
there was never, in the history of the
country, less chance Of having a Republi-
can President than now. Douglas
chances are hundred to one ahead of
Lincoln before the people; in the House,
he would lead all competitors, and even
Bell would lead Lincoln Whatever the
Democratic complications may result in,
Lincoln is certain to come out of the little
end of the horn.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The nomination of Judge Douglas has
had a singular effect on the Republican
party. That event took place one week
ago to-day, and already the Lincoln guns
appear to be spiked, the forces seem to
have surrendered, and the name of the
Rail candidate is hardly heard above a
whisper, The Douglas enthusiasm carries
everything by storm, Men, women and
children are for the "Little Geant." Ev-
cry person shouts for Douglas, and the
Rail worshippers disappear from the pub
lie gaze. Solid, conservative men are
joining the Douglas standard all the time
and the already irresistible column is dai-
ly augmenting. Wherever you go it is
Douglas! Douglasll Douglasl! And SO
it will be until November comes. Every
body feels that the political edifce, the
government of the people, is in great dan
ger, and all agree that Douglas is the
man for the great crisis, and hence he is
hourly gaining strength. 1t is delightful
to be in line in the great Douglas column.
Ii does not require labor and effort to get
up meeting or work up enthusiasm
The people are full of enthusiasm and all
they want to know is where meeting is
to be held to promote the good cause, and
they are on hand and no mistake. Let
the ball roll on. Huzza for Douglas and
johnson! Huzza!l-StoteSman,

Dental nominees of the party, and nc
members of the party in this State will
give their support more readily than the
sincere friends of Breckenridge and Lane.
They will yield their personal favorites
rather than hazard the election of Lincoln

choice of the party.
