If the Democratic leaders and masses, North and
south wauid confess this now patent fact, and act
upon 1t, the defeat Of lincoln would be easily ac
compished.
The Monitor asserts that the Union ticket is
gaining. ground and winning recruits, all over the
North, not only from the Democracy, but from the
Republicans. In other words, that sectiOnalism is
on the wane, and will soon be repudiated By the
most of those who have been temporarily led of
by n There were many persons in the North who
never held the extreme doctrines Of the Black Re-
pubcans, but who, when compelled to choose be-
tween them and the Democracy. accepted the
former as the least of evils. All these satisfied
with the Constitutional Union ticket, and will give
it their hearty support. They comprise the most
respectable and intelligent allies of the Republican
organization The withdrawal of such men from
the party infiicts fatal blow upon it and their
life and spirit and capacity for victory are there
BY utterly destroyed.
Abiding to the decay Of sectionalsm, the Moni-
tor says:
From this time forth to November sectionalism
is doomed to melt away like an iceberg in tropi-
cal ocean. 1t will soon be apparent to conserya-
tive Republicans who really prefer Bell and Ever
ett that there is aprospect Of success. We, Dem
ocrats, will show by our words, and actions, and
votes, that we love the Union more than Caesars
and especially than rival Sam Patches, or the

God and victory
If the same spirit animated all the other Demo
Gratis of the North, the editor Of the Monitor it
is plain that Lincoln could be easily defeated. The
Union ticket, sustained already BY the Old Wings
and Americans, needs only the assistance Of the
conservative Democrats, and those temporary allies
of the Republicans who are now drawing off from
a party that they discover to be thoroughly Sec
tional to be IN decided majority in more than
half of the Northern States.
We believe that this is the only mode in which
Lincoln can be defeated. We believe, moreover,
that nothing would tend SO much to union of all
the conservative men of the North upon Bell and
Everett, as the concentration of all parties upon
them at the South. Let the people of the North be
assured that the South is going for Bell, and they
