( view to influence their vote for Douglas in
/ the event of his nomination and the with
drawal of the Southern delegates. There
are prominent Americans here from Ken
lucky and other Southern States, so Doug
las Delegates say, who are willing to make
such coalition to defeat the fire-eaterS of
the South and the election of Lincoln by
the North 1t is said that Brooks of the
New York Express enters heartily into the
movement, and assures the Douglas men
that such man could carry the State of
New York beyond doubt. If the Douglas
men could place sufficient confidence in such
assurances it would make them much more
naughty and dictatorial at Baltimore. In
such q coalition they count upon Indiana AZ
safe for the Little Giant" They say Col.
| Thompson of Terre Haute, Mr.: Blythe of
Evansville, and other leading Americans
will give the Ticket their support, and that
they can influence twenty thousand old
Wing and American votes.
In the first place the coalition cannot be
made-it is entirely mpracticable-the ele-
ments are too conflicting. In the next place,
so far as Indiana is concerned, they are
counting without their host. l have it from
undoubted authority that Col. Thompson
will support Mr.. Lincoln, and that he will
70 this end discourage the bringing out of
Bell and Everett Electoral Ticket, from the
fact that it can do no possible good to those
gentlemen, and its only effect would be that
it would render the triumph of the corrupt
Democracy the more certain, and retain in
power the present body of Office holders in
our State and he is fully impressed with
the Importance of a change. I believe that
the great mass of the Fillmore men of 1856
cannot by any such arrangement be handed
over to the common enemy.
Congress is now holding night sessions
and anticipates an adjournment in another
week, though much important business will
be passed over to the next session. Y.
