Wrong. We are sorry to see that some
person, or persons, has a disposition to med
die with the Democratic flag and flag staff in
this place. Since the stealing Of the flag,
which was noticed last week, an attempt was
made to saw down the pole, but when the
work had been about one-third completed,
the operator became alarmed anG fled. We
are sure that no good Republican will counte-
nance any such acts The Democracy have
a perfect right to pole and flag, and should
be allowed to possess them free from moes-
tation. If our party had as gooda rigging as
this, we should not like to see it destroyed.
Besides, il it is allowed to stand, perhaps
the Democracy will allow us the use oft next
month when we want to ratify the election of
LINCOLN and HAMIIN.

"Things nre working"

Patrick Galloway, a life long worker in the
cause OF democracy, and at present secretary
Of ed ward Douglas club at Toledo, came out
for Lincoln and Hamlin last week. lie pub
lishos long article in the Blade giving his
reasons for 80 doing; the most prominent Of
which, in brief, are as follows: 1st-because
nothing can be gained by supporting Doug
las. 2d-because the fusion in New York
and other states indicates an abandonment OF
principle for the accomplishment Of evil. Sd
because he is opposed to tho extension of
slavery, and is satisfied that democracy seeks
10 iujure the white race by introducing sla-
very everywhere. 4th-because he believes
men have a right to act after the dictates of
their own conscience in casting their suffrage.
5.h--becauso Douglas refused to honor the
death of Broderick. G,h-becau,e the de-
mocracy Of that city bestowed their patronage
upon Il know.nolhing organ, the Times, and
thus crushed out vueir own organ, the Com
merciW In conclusion he asks his fellow
lrishmen 10 consil.r wha. he said, and, il
their conscience approves, vote as he intends
to-lor Lincoln and Hamlin.
Mr.. Galloway is no. the only one who has
lately ospoused the cause of Lincoln and
lllmlin, They are coming over by hundreds
in every free state in the Union. We learn
that the Judge of Common Pleas for this
district, observing that there is no. the leas
shadow of hope for the success of Douglas
and prcfering Lincoln to Jo Lane, has ex
pressed his intention to vote tho Republican
ticket. The Toledo Times also show a lean
lag that way as will be seen by the following
paragraph, from It's issue OF Monday last:
"WnAT WILL BE GAINED by IT?-In the
present position ofparties, what will be gaiuec
by the democratic party or the country, 10y
throwing the election Of Presi lent into The
House The result of devolying the election
on the House, would be the choice of Lane
by the Senate. Would il not be better fo
the democratic party to be defeated than tc
perpeLuato the present unscrupulous dynasty
In our judgement defeat would be far prefer
able. We know tha, il would be thousand
times more honorable to be defeated, than b,
combination with the mercenary crew VIII
now have possession of the Government. t
defeat the Republican candidate for the ben
eli, of the political pirates who have dismom
bered the democratic party"
The Interpretation Of this is that all demo
Gratis who haze the love of country and FIRE,
institutions at heart, should vote for Linco In
and thereby defeat Tie bolter'5 ticket

Vote Of Illinois

The Chicago Press and Tribune says "gra-
tifylng assurances come to US every day Of the
progress Of the popular cause in Illinois. II
the opinions Of well Informed politicons in the
various counties are worth anything TIE Re-
publican majority in the State not be lees
than $4,000. We shall unquestionably carry
both branches Of the Legislature and elect Il g
whole State ticket, provided, always, our
friends do not relax their exertions, and take
care TO get all their voters to the polls"

Now Work. saivnn Un.

Tho HsralG, tha leading opposition orgaa
in New York, says IAN act of justice to all
parties concerned" compels it to admit "that
the day has gone by for the redemption OF
New York" The Herald then goes on at
some length to show the relative strength Of
the opposition te the Republican party, aud
winds up in this wise;
Now York will vote for Lincou--and by a
larger majority, we dare say, than any other
state Lincoln will be elected There is no
use in mincing the matter any longer, We
are called upon to look this thing full in the
face. The best that our Union forces can
now do is to save all the odds and ends of the
election within their reach, such RS Congress
men. Ass,m ,mblymen and county officers. Lu-
coin will be elected and all parties concern
ed may rs well just now shape their course
to that event as to wait ill lh1 day after the
election.

L,ncO,n or Brcckimritiyc.

Col. Forney, the lsading Donglas man of
Pennsylvania, gave the whole matter in a
nutshell when he said:
Every fusion in the Free States is intended
to promote the election of John Q. Breckip-
rid se to the Presidency of the United States.
And to the same purpose is the following
from the letter of Douglas candidate for
States Attorney in Illinois, S. f Flennigan,
declaring that as the election of Douglas is an
impossibIlity, he has concluded to suppor' Lin
coG, an order to put down the Disunonists,
He says.
would willingly support Douglas, but q
further support of him can have no other effect
ttan of carrying the election into the House
of Representatives, which will either elect
Breckinridge, orif the House shall fail to elect
by the 4th of next March, it is probable the
Senate will elect Joe Lane, who becomes
President OF the United States. And Lane,
will only be tool in the hands of the Disun.
ionists to accomplish their one idea of break
up the Confederacy and erecting the Slave
States, together with our Western country, in
to seperate and independent Government.

Mr. Lincoln on the Homestead.

AS an offset to the opposition the democ-
racy to the principle of free homesteads, some
of the Douglas organs state that Mr.. Lincoln
did not vote for the measure while in Congress
Now it will appeai by reference to the Journals
of Congress. that Mr., Lincoln voted d directly
in favor of the principle of a homestead bill
Mr. McClelland offered the following resolu,
tion:
Resolved That the piesent traffic in the pub
lie la de should cease, and that they should
be disposed of to occupants and cu,ivators,
on proper conditions. at such prices rs will
merely indemnify the cost of then purchase,
management and sale.
A motion was carried to lay the resolution
on the table, Mr.. Lincoln voting against the
motion, rs he was in favor Of giving the pub
lie lands to actual settlers, and not to money.
ed spectators.
This, we believe, was the first movement
by Congress'ou the Homestead bill, meas.
ure which now forms part of the platform o.
the Republican party.

The Douglas organs are amusing them
selves just now, in the effort to create the
impression that the South won't submit to the
inauguratons of a Republican President
They forget that Douglas has pledged him
self assist in putting down any attempt at
dsunion and further, that in case Lincoln
should be elected he would bow to the verdict
of the people. We advise the disunion croat
ere TO read Douglas speech at Norfolk. Such
t@aldle will not be regarded for moment
by those who read AMI think for themselves

The DOugIas-Yamcy Case.

Geo. N. Saunders, the delegate of Mr.
Douglas who offered the nomination for Vice
President to Mr.. Yancey, publishes card in
which he confesses that he did make that of
fer, but says that it was intended as joke!
A funny joke and an odd thing to joke about
truly. If the offer to Yancy was a joke what
shall we call the actual nomination of Fitz
patrick? And if they were both joSes, what
was the subsequent selection of Herschel V.
Douglas movement, including his "great prin-
ciple," would have much the appearance of a
stupendous joke, were it not for the vast inter
est involved in it.

Close uD the RnMks.

The following timely remarks are taken
from tho circular Of the State central COM
mttee:
In this hour of our triumph both ate and
National while we congratulate our friends
ON the prospect for the future, we desire to re-
mind them that there are corresponding obi
cations resting upon them which they must
not fail to meet Chic mu, struggle to main
tain her pre- eminence in the Republican OIL
umn Of States or she will be outstrpped or
the h of November, by Pennsylvania and
Indiana. Our enemies are divided distracted
and embittered against each other, They
combined against us, not from principle, but for
the spois, and they are badly beaten. They
may attempt another last, desperate rally,
but they must be met and conquered. Our
majority for Lincoln in Ohio must be at least
40, 900 1t may be more if we work. Let
there be no dsbanding of our forces. Let
every county committee continue the vigilance
that has alreacy accomplished so much Let
meetings be held in every township and schoo
district. Let documents be distributed and
facts be presented to tho people. Let the
Republican army olOhio continue its onward
march to still more splendid victory. AuC
when the 6lh of November is psst,and Abrs
ham Lincoln is elected President of the Uni
! ted States, let the Shouts of our victorious
hosts mjnglo with those which will 60 up from
Pennsylvania and Indiana, in prochiming to
! The world that our cause is triumphant an(
! our n ton redeemed,
