city, meteor, coming from the the direction
of Chicago, passed over his head, which typhi.
fed the fate of his Party, by first splitting in
two. and then, when it encountered the free air

The Breckenridge men were too smart f

The Breckenridge men were too smart for
Little Dug" in the old Keystone-in short,
they figured much as Macauley intimates the
great founder Of that powerful State did with
the borigines-thimble-rigg them, in short
The two Committees held long council on
Thursday last, and the Albany Journal says the
result e their deliberations was the adoption OF
resolution providing for single Electoral Tick
ct to be headed with the name OF Doug las or
Breckenridge, according to the preferences of
the individual voter. Then the votes of these
Electors provided they get elected are to be
cast for whichever candidate shall prove 10 have
the majority of the ballots. But, it is further
added. that if the Electoral Vote OF the State
will not elect the candidate thus receiving the
majority, and will elect any other Democrat, they
shall be cast for that other.
IL is hardly necessary TO say that this queer
one sided arrangement is the work Of the Brock
inridge men, who were in a majority in the Com
mittee, and that it is quite doubtful whether all,
or even a considerable part of the Douglas men,
will agree TO it.
| 1t is an arrangement which, If carried out,
might benefit Breckenridge, but could in no case
benefit Douglas. There is show of fairness in
the plan Of combining the popular vote on one
set OF Electors pledged TO vote in accordance
with the will OF the popular majority. But this
is completely nullifed by the subsequent provis'
ion that the Electoral vote is to be given to the
candidate whom it can elect. There is possi-
bilty that it might elect Breckenridge, but there
is no possibility of any contingency in which it
could elect Douglas. So that Breckenridge would
be sure TO get it, while Douglas cannot have it
unless il is settled that it will be of no use TO
him.
Besides this practical injustice, the plan has a
still graver defect al its originators will find 1t
destroys whatever prestige or influence there
may be in the principles of either faction 1t
requires the Douglas men to go in bndy TO help
On the Slave Code, and the Breckenridge men TO
go in to help Popular Sovereignty. 1t not only
makes p inciple a secondary consideration, but
makes the ballo; Of each man tell against his own
principles, and III favor of the very doctrines he
is bitterly opposing, provided the other side
proves to be little stronger than his ! In a
word, it is the old trick of the monkey using the
eats paw to draw the hot chestnuts out of the
fire for his own eating. The Breckenridge mer
propose to use the Douglas men to get the chest
nuts of office out of the fire of contested cleo
ton, the former to have all the benefit, anC
the latter to take all the risk of being singed.

MILITARY ENCAMPNENr.--The military en-.
campment provided for by the laws of this
State, took place at Jackson three days of last
week, and was decided success. Col. A. W.
Williams reports the best feeling among the mil

terested themselves in the military exercises
Ten thousand people or more, were present at
the principal review. The tremendous storm OF
Thursday, which blew down the tents, some.
what abruptly cut off the display. The Will
Hams Light Infantry, Capt. j.. K. Price, the Cur
tenius Guards, Capt. Phil. McKernan, and the
Lansing Artillery, Capt. J. Weber, all from Ing
ham county, are well spoken Of The first nam
ed received the highest commentator for strict
compliance with law, in uniform and equipments
No accident occurred to the military, and all re-
turned in good spirits on Friday.

had hoped that necessity would arise for any
further expression of opinions before the approaching
election but the publications which have been made in
some of the daily papers in reference my position to
the purchase of Druid Hill Park, render it due to those
who may desire to support that should leave them
under no misapprehension on that subject.
Although regard the establishment of public walks
and parks eminenty desirable every point of view
in large and populou communities like ours yet if the
subject were one here, the matter still OPEN
should consider it very grave question whether the
large amount involved in the purchase Improvement and
maintenance of Druid Hill could properly be imposed

should probably not undertake to without much
more thorough knowledge of the monetary condition Of
the corporation than now possess.
The difficulty Of the subject would Also in my view be
materially increased by its complication with that of the
city railroad But the purchase of the Park
having been made and the bonds of the city having
issued for the purchase money and passed to bona fe
holders for value the question in my judgment has be
come one of wholly different character Having been
consulted in my professional capacity by private clients
as to the legality of the bonds and their safety as an in
vestment investigated the subject and finding that
the city authrized by its charter o purchase and
hold real, personal and mixed property without any
limitation as to locality and further empowered by
law oissue stock or borrow money to the of
million of dollars or promoting enecting any great
or permanent improvement" came to the conclusion as
lawyer that the purchase the was legal and the
issuing of the stock equally provided the limit of
million had not been exceeded which was assured was
the case In pursuance of this advice the investment

ritory surrounding it. his personal safety isassured

chief object of the latter, in entering the States of
the Church at this time, is not so much hatred
of the foreign mercennries enlisted in The Papa
army, as to anticipate the intentions of GARIBALDI
who will scarcely venture to oppose himself to the
wishes OF sovereign to whose cause he is devoted
or to the troops of his friend and qlondam ally
LOUIS NAPOLEON. That the departure of PIo Mono
from Rome would effectually disembarrass the sit.
uation of the complexities in which it is involved,
is too clearly apparent to be doubted. But it is
equally evident that if he once leaves the Holy
City behind him, whether he bends his steps to
Avignon, the old place of Papal refuge, or goes on
pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he loses forever, both to
himself and to his successors that portion of the
territory which he still holds, and which is popu-
larly known as "the patrimony of St. Peter"

BALTIMORE.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1860.

Another card from Mr.. Brown, the Reform
Candidate for the Mayoraltv, will attract the at
tention of our readers, in another column, and
cannot be otherwise than satisfactory to all, whose
interest in The question discussed is simply honest
and not partisan. While, however we express
our qualification at the manly and intelligent
character of Mr.. BRowN's response, we feel bound
to say that no reply whatever, was, in our opin
ion, due to the source from which the enquiries
had their origin. The Baltimore American, well
known TO be hostile, at this time, to the Reform
movement, of which it never was really sincere
supporter, has RETAINED from any direct or
tangible expression of its opposition until the
very eEeel the election, when, without venturipg
openly ITO sdvocate Mr. HHDEs, or assert any
grounds of objection 10 Mr.. BRowN, it has char
acteFistieally awaited itself of volunteer express
sion in The columns of The Sapa--for which Mr..
Brown is no more responsible than for the twaddle
of The american itself-to intimate its fear that
Mr.. Brown is opposed 10 the Druid Hill Park,
and will attempt if elected to cancel the contract
for its purchase. This expression of its apprehen-
sion it has accompanied with the intimation that
Mr.. BROwE ought to set the public mind at rest
uHoh 'ic St',JcNA-N ulCH IL Calls on MN TO 90.
The purpose of all this is as unmanly
and unworthy, rs might have been ex-
pected from the journal in question. It's editors
knew perfectly well that opinion which Mr.
Brown might hold upon the Park question could
induce them to vote for him, and that the whole
purpose of their enquiries was simply to manuac-
ture capital out of his answer, if he should make
one, out of his refusal, if he should decline to
reply. He has fit to thwart them, in the one
purpose, by the explicit avowal OF his sentiments
and the character of that avowal is quite sufficient
to put an end to their calculations in the other d.
rection. But we insist that he has done a work of
supererogaton, in the eyes of all who know his
character and motives, and appreciate the mo-
tivcs and character of his assaants Anything
in the way of fair opposition, or open and honor
able discussion will be listened 10 by a right
minded community, and may affect its action
But covert assault at the eleventh hour of cam
vass when it is too late to expose f4Isehood, be-
fore it has done its works regarded as a hang
in all honorable political war. We
should not be surprised at little more of the
same sort, from the same and kindred sources, and
therefore think it well to put the public on their
guard.

A Card. signed ns,vrr1 HrypEs ~

A Card, signed "SAMUEL HINDEs," appears in
The american of yesterday, in reference to
our republication, Saturday, of the names
OF the officers and the resolutions of a
meeting held at Temperance Temple on the
fifth of April last TO denounce the removal of
Judge STUMP, in which report Mr. HIsDEs appears
as one of the vice-presidents. We printed in our
very best place, yesterday, a note from that gen.
tleman, calling our attention to the fact that he
had explained the unauthorized use of his name on
that occasion, in a card published on the 18th of
April in the Sun and Americdn--which card he
enclosed, and which we also printed yesterday.

had Mr.. IlINDEs paused 10 see whether we
would deny him the act of Justice claimed of us,
before he proceeded to proclaim what we did, as
'utterly unworthy, if not of their organ, yet of
''the cause and the party" which he is weak
or disingenuous enough to hold responsible
for what the editors of the EXCHANGE may see
fit to do or say. If Mr.. HINDEs imagines that we
were bound to observe at the time, and remember
for six months after, the fact that he put small
advertisement into the crowded columns of two Of
our morning papers, he must have exalted ideas
alike Of his own importance and OF our editoria
