Uaren Democrat.
Hon. d. S. DICKINSON accounts for the
tremendous popularity Of Douglas, in the
following felicitous manner:
"Some fa,men descending tho Missis-
sippi III rather jolly mood, passed a
house on the shore where they we're fd-
ding and dancing on the piazza; the
boat fell into au eddy, and once In each
half hour passed the house again, and the
boatmen swore they were fddling and
dancing in every house for a hundred
miles on the shore of the river, while they
had been revolving in an eddy, and had
seen but one! The Douglas strength is
estimated in the same way"
Senator Bright DON. love Douglas any
better than Douglas him. At a Breckin.
ridge meeting in Indiana lately, BIigh.
said:
ave don't intend to have Stephen A.
Douglas and his cohorts crammed down
our throa,s. They wish to place the
Democratic party in the position Of a
bucket tied to dogs tail, to be dragged
through the mud wherever the dog may
choose to run. If you follow the fortunes
Of Douglas, and stand with him on the
rotten Janus Jaced platform, you are ire
coverably lost"
Nor WELL PosTED.-A the late State
Convention of the Breckinridgers, in New
York, they placed Albert II. Tracy on
their electoral ticket, when Mr.. Tracy had
been in bis grave ovcr t,ro years.-E.c-
change.
AS none Of the Breckenridge men will
ever be called upon to perform the Office
of electors, they eau as well vote for Ira
cy as anybody else. 1t is a dead party,
and is f,ly represented by dead men.-,

LAUGnABLE.-The Milwaukee (Wis)
Sentinel, says:
"Three weeks ago, the Democrats of
Ann Arbor, Michigan, prepared hand
some pole, TO erect In honor of their pres
idental candidate. But when it was rea-
dy to 60 up, there we're not democrats
enough to be found to do the required
lifting. AT the end Of a week Il ras sold
10 the republicans, who added thirty feet
to it, and then run it up with shout for
"Lincoln and Libcrty.'
A Douglas paper in this State returns
thanks for copy of "Covode's Life and
Times of James Buchanan"-aiias the
report of the famous investigating COM
mittee. 1t says that they are few public
men so fortunate as to have their biogra.
phies complied from official records and
sworn statements.
Some body says Douglas life will end
where Lincolu's began, and etcc ycrsa
Douglas commenced as a cabinet maker,
and Lincoln will soon be a maker of cabi-
nets; while Douglas is engaged on grand
split.
