ndS- The labor and expense Of printing a
daily paper as our neighbor is aware are bur
densome enough in Dayton, where the Cincin-
natl daiies come into direct competition with
us. The amount of advertising, and of com
pensaton received for it, he knows full well,
are not large enough to relieve the Dayton
publishers Of many hardships, which, in larger
cities, are not experienced by those engaged
in printing daily papers To give currency,
countenance encouragement and endorse
ment to childish complaints, misrepresenta-
tions, and meanness, which would reduce ad-
vertising below living price, is a very dimi-
nutive occupation for those who expect to
make living by publishing daily paper in
Dayton-JouTRdI
We cant say that we know what our over
the-street neighbor is driving at in the above.
If he means TO insinuate, as is evident in the
last sentence, that the present proprietors OF
the EMPIRE have attempted to reduce adver-
tising below living price" he is mistaken;
and he knows it When we came to Dayton,
we called on the editor of the Journal, and in
conversation with us, he stated that the prices
for advertising had beer entirely too low here,
and suggested that we draw up scale of
prices This we did, fixing the rates at what
we thought fair, and submitted it to the pro
prietors Of the Journal, but they thought it too
high, and said they would modify the scale
We then said we would be glad if they would
get up rates such as they thought would be
sufficiently reasonable, and that the proprietors
of the EMPIRE would agree to it This was
several weeks ago, but not hearing from our
neighbors, we inserted in our paper Of May
2sth, our rates, and then gave notice that they
would be rigidly enforced And they shall
BE- If our neighbors Of the Journal wish to
adopt them they are welcome to do SO for our
part we intend to insert no advertisement for
Ieas than our published rates By maintaining
astan6Ard Of liVfAg rates, we anticipate being
relieved of many hArdships" which have been
experienced by former Dayton publishers" I"

Day @My heart is in the coffin with Caesar
and must pause till it comes back TO me"
This was the exclamation of Mark Antony
over murdered idol, and it is not unfit to
make the application to certain signs visible
in the Blaok-Republican ranks, especially in
New York, where Mr. Seward is adored.
The case is scarcely parallel, for Antony
was Il friend, and the genius of the poet OF
Avon has presented through him the best
stump speech ON record Cesar fell at the
foot of Pompey's statue, Seward went un-
der at Chicago, at the very shrine of the eb-
ony shaft he had devoted his life to erect
Caesar had his Brutus, and Seward his Greeley.
But dropping the parallel between the defunct
Roman and the New York Blaek-Republican,
it is very apparent that no political Mark An
tonys can excite the populace for Lincoln.

More Proof of the Coalition.


The recent combination Of Black Republi.
oans and Douglasites in Oregon confirms the
CHARGE of the growing alliance between the
former organization and the latter faction The
fosjon in Oregon is for the purpose Of electing
!, Rlack Republican to the Senate in place of
General Lane, and Douglasite in place Of
Mr.. Smith. The fusionists, it seems, are In a
majority in the Legislature, on joint ballot,
and have succeeded in electing the officers of
the House. They have nominated for Sena-
tors Col. Z. D. Baker, rabid british Aboli-
tionist. who ran himself down in California
and emigrated to Oregon some SIX months
since. and Mr.. Nesmith, a Douglas Abolition
ist They would probably have consummated
their bargain, by the election Of these two gen
tlemen the day after the Legislators met, had
it not been for the fact that number Of Demo.
cratic Senators fell back OF, the constitutional
rights of minorities. and broke up quorum.
As men who are guilty Of such yenality and
corruption as that displayed by the Oregon
ftlsionists, would not hesitate TO violate their
oaths and the Constitution of their State. we
presume they have elected theircandidates BY
this time, in defiance Of the Constitution, and
that two Abolitionsts, Black Republican
and Douglasite, now take the place of two
Democratic Senators from the conservative
young State of Oregon; and as a necessary
consequence, the whole body of fusionists
will be swallowed up in the Black Republican
party.

Hon. Henry Gray.

This gentleman, well-known in Mississippi,
has defined his position III the Presidential
contest, and explained his views touching the
proper course of the South in the event Of
the election of Lincoln. He is in favor Of
Douglas for the Presidency but should Lin
coin be elected, he is for regarding it as the
overt act" and resisting his rule. lnasmuch
as Douglas hasspledged himself in advance to
perform the office of hangman to punish rebels
against Black Republican Administration,
Mr.. Gray's support of him is not exactly
consistent with his resistance policy: but we
will not quarrel with him about that:
Here is Mr. Gray as reported
He declared that he had adjured politics,
and sincerely desired to abstain from partici
patton in the canvass, and that in point of fact
he felt but little interest in it. He had no de-
sire to enter a contest in which he would be
cmpelled to take issue with many Of his per-
sonal and political friends. Tie gentleman
from Arfansus, lnr. Snaoote,) and his friend
aatas ss t'sto III 7fye III add Il
no security Jof the o0ttta tR the Cftfott. nc
regards tie election ef Lincoln as certain, and
in that epert he ,cas IA faUor Of resisting has
Inauguration By farce, let the consequences be
sohot they mug. He anas prepared f9r it. de
thought that the difference in the DEMOCRATIC
party on the territorial question was Of no
practical consequence, and did not justify the
disruption of the party. He thought Mr.,
Doug gas the regular nominee of the National
Democratic party, and as such, would stand
by its organization and support its nominees;
but he would not undertake to advise others
as to the course they ought to pursue. He
closed by reiterating the declaration that if
Lincoln was elected he was in favor of the
dissolution of the Union. Lie was listened to
throughout with that profound attention which
his speeches always command.
H is proper that zoe should state that ttss
synopsis of Afr. Gray's remarks acas submitted
to him acit5out objection before publication.

For tie Mississipplan
Hon. Richard Harrison.


This able Democratic elector has just closed
the canvass of the End Congressional District.
1t was my pleasure to hear him repeatedly
during the canvass, and / can bear testimony to
the ability and fidelity with whicl, he has dis
charged the duties of the position assigned
him. lie canvassed with w. A. Shaw, the
Bell clector, and r. W. Flonrnoy, the Doug
las elector. Shaw is shrewd and eloquent
stump speaker. Flournoy is also intelligent
and discusses we'll Shaw and Flournoy
managed to never come iE conflict in their
discussions indeed sometimes one would
think that Shaw was the Douglas eleetor from
the eloquenteulogies he pronounced upon him.
They both hurled their darts, with all the
force they could master, at Breckenridge and
the Democratic party, but our noble Harrison
hurled them back with redoubled force and
bore our banner aloft VIGOROUSLY in every
conflict
DIR. Harrison's manner of discussing IS Pc
euliar. He seldom deals in inyeetiye, but IS
courteous and afiable to his opponents. lie
very rarely refers to documents or records
but deals mostly in argument; and while his
arguments are dignified and statesmaniike'
they are SO interspersed with eloquence, poo
try, and humor, that the audience is charmed
and delighted. When it fell to his lot to close
the discussion, after the audience had listened
two hours and half to the speeches of his
opponents, DR.. Harrison, to relieve the tedium
OF the discussion, would deal some in anec-
dotes and these anecdotes were always at
the expense of his opponents. DIR. Harrison's
speaking powers had not been much brought
into requisition before this canvass, and he has
proven himself an effective speaker.
This district will give handsome majority
for Breckenridge. Douglas will get but few
votes except in Pontotoc.

Douglas Treachery.

The following letter was written by Mr..
Blair, two years ago, in reference to Douglas
treachery to the Democratic party. The facts
have recently been corroborated by other gen.
tlemeL Of acknowledged credibility.
ST. LOUIS, OcT 25, 1858.
"DEAR SIR have received your note put
ting certain interrogotaries to me, in refer
ence to the conversation held between Judge
Douglas and myself at his home last winter
1t has always been principle with me to hold
sacred every private conversation between
any gentleman and myself. and this will for
bid my saying anything in answer to the
questions you have asked. Although Mr..
Douglas by his conduct to me, and by the
unscrupulous attacks of his partisans, half
forfeited all claims on my forbcarance, yet I
do not consider that because others have
failed to conform to the proprieties of life, it
furnishes an excuse for me to follow their ex-
ample.
aAfter what has been said,. however it is
Just and proper to myself to say. that the let
ter which was written by me to Mr.. B. Gratz
Brown, of the Missouri Democrat, and which
has been the basis of the assaults made upon
me by Mr.. Douglas partizans for violating an
alledged confidence, was written in strict &C.
cordance with the wishes of Judge Douglas
himself In fact, deemed it to be the sin
Gle object of the interview to which / was in
vited, to mitigate, through me, the hostility OF
the radical Democratic press Of st. Louis to-
| wards him. / wrote for this purpose, believ-
ing it to be his desire, and / had no agency
whatever in giving currency to the rumors
about the contents of letters that have found
their way into the newspapers. The black
guardism of the newspapers in the interests oil
Mr.. Douglas, on this account, compels me to
make this explanation, and is the only occas-
| ion foi my writing q word on this subject.
81 have said that / was invited to this in
terview by Judge Douglas. say so TO repel
the idea that sought an interview with him
upon political subjects. The invitation and
message came through Hon. Schuler Colfax
of Indiana, and has never, to my knowledge
been treated as private matter. take this
occasion to say, that nei ther the message sent
me, nor anything that ever occurred between
Judge Douglas and myself prepared me iol
hearing of his calling for three cheers ovel
the defeat of the Emancipationists of Missouri
and my own defeat, by the pro-slavery LIE.
