Sensible Democrats everywhere Brock
enridgo men and Douglusites, are COM
ing frankly to admit that Lincoln will be
elected. Even Douglas himself said in
his speech Immediately after the nomin-
alton, that the effect of running Breck-
enridgc Che might have said of forcing
himself on the unwilling Democracy }
was TO elect tho Republican candidates.
According to tho Davenport Qowa) Ga
zettc, the Democrat Of that city gives up
the battle, and says "wo (tho d emocru-
cy) have only to await the result" And
again il says: "We cannot find il in our
heart at the present time to hold out any
word of hope to the friends Of the cause
we advocate.
The only hope for the despondent
DouglOsitos we have already pointed out
which is, fusion. And we say to them
very frankly, there is precious little hope
from that,

A miserable falsehood has been going
the rounds Of the democratic" press to
the effect that, John Hanks, an old iriend
and co-luborer Of MIR. Lincoln, "long time
ago." had said that he wouldvote against
Mr.. Lincoln, although he (Hanks) had
never been "domocrat." In our paper

II 10 with the utmost regret that we
lay before our readers an account Of one
ofthe most terrible and heart-rending ca
lamities that has ever happened in Min
Desota.
Il appears, from the information we
have received, that on the 9th inst,
at p. NJ, the Rev. Mr.. Nicols, pastor
Of the Congregational Church at Mime
apolis, bis wife and child Ga boy Of 10
yeors) accompanied by Mr.. Cleveland,
his brother-in-law, and his two daugh-
tere, eyed respectively, II and 10 years,
went 10 Lake Calhoun for the purpose Of
bathing. The two girls Of Ne. Cleveland
went into the Lake fret and unfortunate
ly ventured out Of their depth. Mr.. Nj
coils boy went 10 their assistance, but
the girls clinging to him drew him out Of
depth, and as they all appeared TO per-
ishing Mr.. Cleveland went TO their assist
anco. He, too, was soon drawn into deep
water, and as he was unable to swim, It
appeared that he would soon drown with
the children. Mr.. Nicols then went to
the rescue. He ventured in as far as he
could, maintaining his footing, which
however he soon lost--calling TO his
wife to take hold Of his hand. She reso-
lutely obeyed the summonsj clasped his
hand in hers, and terrible TO relate, the
whole party we're drawn into deep water
and perished together.
Mrs Cleveland and an infant child Of
Mr.. Nicols were the only survivors Of
this sad calamity, There was no boat
at hand, and Dirs. Cleveland had the
dreadful uiliic tion Of witnessing her hus-
band and two children, sister and broth
erin law and his child perish before her
eyes. The bodies were all recovered on
Thursday night, but with life extinct,

Judge Rector, self styled and pompously decorated politician. through ont to defeat and ruin the party in the State as best he can, represents the fac tionist's party, and is the subservient tool of the few diSorganizers in Arkansas.
 But one constant cry of victory on the part of Col Johnson over his competitor, do we hear, and glean from our exchanges. Even the Old Line Democrat with the in- ported Peek to assail and vilify the regular ly nominated State ticket and drive terror into the ranks of the democratic party, gives but lame excuse for the repeated victories of the chivalrous Johnson, and would gladly escape the merited castiga- ton the Colonel is dealing ont and appor- tioniRg to these disorganizers of the State convention.

EDIToRs TRUE DEMocRAT-.Srs: The political horizon is becoming clear; the storm which so recently threatened to des- troy our party, has blown over, and now there is scarcely wreck behind. Soon after the Dover Convention adjourned, we were battling in what we considered a doubt tul cause; victory seemed to be lowering round the banner of our adversaries, (the disorganizers, but as the battle waxed hot the joyous notes of victory began to sound along the ranks of the true democracy, and ere long the disorganizers began to beat nasty retreat. Truth is mighty and will prevail" The people of this section of country feel that they have been most egre- giously imposed upon, and are determined to administer such political castigation upon the instigators of this treachery, that they will not soon forget it. The people find that they have been grossly deceived by the cry of ''Johnson dynasty is the watchword in the opposition ranks i; but it has become almost obsolete in White county l know of but two Rector men who have the hardihood to advocate his claims to gubcrnatorial honors, and they are men who eve every bit of promotion they ever received to the democratic party One of them however Is not much to blame, as it is a meat and bread business with him; he thought the Hindman faction would be successful, consequently he made strike The friends of Col.

 It is very much regretted by the people of this county that the candidates for Gov ernor could not speak here.
 Col.
