Only one paper in New York city as yet
supports the Douglas faction, and that is a
weekly journal of local circulation aud limi
ted influence.
| All through the country We find the Black
Republican organs bitterly arrayed against
Breckenridge and Lane The reason must
be obvious, They dread the popularity, no
less than they hate the principles which
these gallant men profess, and which they
know they will sustain. We find, on the
contrary many of these same Black Repub,
licans entirely satisfied with the nomination
IOf Mr.. Douglas, and many of the journals
which support him openly Boosting of his
sympathy, and declaring that thousands of
those who voted for Fremont will now vote
for Douglas.
1 A rousing meeting of the friends of Breck
nridge and Lane was held in Newark, N j.,
on Friday evening The Journal says: awe
have never seen a larger or more enthusiast
tic meeting in this city. There were min
gled together the staunth and veteran Dem
ocracy, who have carried the national flag
and marched to the music of the Union
since the days of Old Hickory; the young
and ardent supporters of national men and
national principles who have tho foresight
to see, and the manliness to follow, wherever
those principles lead them; American and
foreign born Democrats all earnest in behalf
of that Democracy which knows no divided
flag or sectional allegiance; all determinated
and united in their support of the true ma
tional candidates."
Senators Fitzpatrick, of Alabama, and
Clingman, of North Carolina are out for
Breckinridge and Lane.
