Why should the Democrats of North-Carolina hes
itate to support this ticket? Undoubtedly, vast
majority of the party prefer it. Why, then. endanger
our success and the integrity of the party by voting
for Douglas and johnson, whose vote must be very
small one but far asst goes, can only tend to help the
cause not of Democracy, but of the Opposition? Be-
sides, Breckenridge and Lane stand upon the right
paorm-a platform approved by our State Con-
vent,on--voted for in Charleston by all our dele
gates, and by the entire South, and large portion
Of the North-and sustained by the principles of the
Constitution, by the decisions of the Supreme
Cortland by the votes IN Congress of all parties
except the black Republicans. Judge Douglas him
self, has made this question Of our rights in the
Territories the great issue in the contest. On this
question he is undoubtedly wrong, and against the
South and the true construction of the Constitution

Maine and Vermont.

The elections in these States have gone, as was
expected against the Democrats and in favor of the
black Republicans. The Democratic candidates in
both States, for Governor and Congress, were for
Douglas and johnson, but were voted for by the
friends Of Breckenridge and Lane and yet the black
Republicans carried their tickets for all by increased
maiorites Bell and Everett were nowhere in the
race 1t was supposed that the name of Douglas
would add strength to the ticket, yet the contrary
was the effect If Judge Douglas cannot strengthen
the Democratic ticket in the North, why do his
friends persevere here in the South, in dividing and
Weakening the Democratic cause, when, if united,
in decided majori.i:s in every State, unless,
perhaps it may be Maryland? Let us all unite up
on our ticket in favor of Breckenridge and Lane who
stand upon platform approved by us ALL and which
rOclaims the equal rights of all the States in the
Union.

Editors of Baltimore american:
GENrLEMEN-l sent yesterday by Mr.. c. Parker's
train TO Kansas City, from whence they will be for
warded TO Baltimore to the President of the Agri-
cultural Society of Maryland two Uniformed rams,
which were captured from the Navajoe Indians in
the fall of 1858, and which presented to the So
ciety by the officers of Maryland who seved with
the troops commanded Col. ID. S. Miles, U. S. Army.
| think these rams are descendants of Spanish
breed introduced into the country by the first set
tiers though if this is the case it is strange that the
variety is not to be found amongst the New Mexi-
cans. am told that five, six and even seven horns,
like the beast in Revelations, are not uncommon
amongst the immense herds belonging to the Nava-
joe Indians; and the idea has occurred to me that
possibly these many horned creatures might be a
cross between the common sheep and the big rams
of the Rocky Mountains, amongst whom they roam.
Why not? Quiea Sa6e? The Navajoe country is
in the very heart of the Rocky Mountains.
