There are in the North a considerable NUM-
Der Of papers which support Breckinrid-e and
Lane as the true Democratic National candI
dates. 1t might be expected as a matter ui

these journals would avail themselves OF

the fatal consequences Of antl-s!avery tanatl-
cism, ;and appeal constantly, earnestly and
zeaIously to the conservatives OF the North to
combat the vile heresy of Black Republican,
tsm. Such should be the policy by which
thew ought to be governed. But in reality
these t1eacherous organs, and pretended
friends of nationality, never direct their as
saults against Black Republicans. As far as
their columns are concerned, it might be ina

especially the former. They have no CEN
sure for Lincoln they seem almost to ignore
his existence. Nay, they rather favor the
rail-spIitter. In Indiana and Ohio the pa'tl-
sans Of Breckenridge voted for the Lincoln
candidates. But Douglas isa milinfold more
odious to them than Lincoln. They would
infinitely rather witness the election OF a
Black Republ. can President than otthe Little
Giant. In short the Northern brecklnrid sc
journals are anti Douglas, not anti-L'ncoin-
The pre-eminent service they render to tue
South consists in helping to put down the
only man in the North whom Lincoln tears,
in run .Iing indie pentent tickets to augment
Lincoln's chances and success, in speaking,
writing and voting against Stephen 4. Doug
las. This is Northern Brec kinridgeism, and
such is the signal manner IN which it displays
its love for the South. its desire to defeat
Lincoln, and its ardent wish to peTpetuate
the Union. So perfectly well understood and
so clearly appreciated in its course. that the
Black Republicans treat Mr.. Breckenridge
with extreme lenity. Giddings says ne pre-
fers him to the other candidates after Lin
coin, because Breckenridge is no STAKEHOLDER.
while John Wentworth advises the formation
Of a Breckenridge ticket in every Northern
State as the surest means Of electing Lincoln.
The Black Republicans evidently regard the
Northern Breckinridgers as. efficient allies,
and invariably speak Of them in a most kind
~ spirit.
In the South the B%reckinridge party are
not unprincipled. We have no doubt that, with
the exception of Disunion leaders, the mass
Of that party are sincerely opposed to Lin
las rather than the Black Republican aspi-
rant. But they are continually making false
issues and are guilty of double-dealins. They
all affirm the dogma of Congressional pro-
lection to slavery, and insist that Breckin-
ridge and Lane are advocates of that doc
trine. With respect to the FIRST they know
that his own record proves the contrary, and
demonstrates beyond contradiction that in
1856 he made speeches in favor Of Squatter
Sovereignty from the same stump as did
Stephen A. Douglas. As for General Lane, he
even at the present time adheres to the nom
Intervention theory, and proclaims that the
election Of Lincoi, will not Justify succession.
A week or two ago Joe Lane delivered a
speech At indianapolis. He was asked what
course ought to be pursued if Lincoln should
be elected. SWELL" he answered, should he
be elected by bis sectional party, and on his
platform, we must content ourselves
