the Democratic party. The Only parry oahaidae
running for State Office at the late election was OF
course Breckinridse man: whereupon the Douglas
men ran two stump candidates against him, and
poled all their votes that could be controlled for
the Bell-Everett candidate, Gen. Coombs, who
was thus elected. Then the regular Democratic
Electoral Ticket being for Breckenridge, they got
up Douglas State Convention and nominated a
Douglas Electoral Ticket, headed by the Hon.
Archibald Dixon, always hitherto Wing. That
ticket they have no idea Of electing, but they do
expect to poll Democratic votes enough for it to
give the State to Bell and Everett Should they
find it essential to this end to vote directly for
Bell, we presume they will do it, as they did last
month for COombs.
In TENNESSEE, the regular Democratic Elect
oral Ticket is all for Breckenridge, IS is almost the
entire party. We know just one Douglas journal
in the State-The Memphis Appeal-and believe
there is but another. Yet the Douglas party has
got up boiling Electoral Ticket aud will give the
State to Bell if possible. Itlooks as though they
would fail, but they show their good Will.
In Missouri, the regular Democratic Electora
Ticket formed before the split was about equally
| divided-we think FIVE for Douglas four for Breck-
iAidee. Two of the Bleclinridge men have al
ready been bued into declining, and the other
two must decline. or The S. LOaiS Republican
SAYS they will be put off. United, the Democratic
party could not fail to carry the State; but this
course compelS the Breckenridge men to run
separate ticket and is very likely to give the State
to Bel.
In ARKANSAS, the regular Democratic organi-
cation is for Breckenridge. The Douglas party
bolt and run separate Electoral Ticket, but can
not take the State from Breckenridge.
In DELAWARE, the case is probably the same.
MARYLAND would probably go for Bell anyhow.
The Douglas men, however, who are scarcely
known in half the Counties, have got up boiling
Electoral Ticket, thereby making assurance douby
sure.
VIRGINIA has a regular Democratic organization
and Electoral Ticket-both for Breckenridge.
ThereupOn the Douglas men have held boiling
Convention and nominated rival Electoral
Ticket, which is not likely to carry dozen COun-
ties, bat is likely to give the State to Bell. The
Bell men understand the game perfectly, and
have been giving Douglas most triumphant meet
ings throughout the State. The Richmond Wing
gave them instructions to do so. 1t was perfectly
understood that he was helping give the State to
Bell.
In NORTH CAROLINA, the Democratic Electoral
Ticket is for Breckenridge as is the regular organ
ization of the party throughout There are between
thirty and forty Democratic journals in the State
we believe but one of them for Douglas The De-
mocratic majority in the State, by the late election,
was little over Six Thousand. Hereupon Doug
las Convention is called, aud Douglas Electoral
Ticket made up-Mr Douglas hiuself going
thither on purpose to stimulate and supervise the
operation. Of course, there is not a Douglas
County in the State, and he cannot poll fourth of
the Democratic vote; yet he mag poll enough to
give the State to Bell.
So in nearly all the other Southern States ex-
cept SOUTH CAROLINA, FLORIDA, and TEXAS,
which seem to have no Douglas party. But
wherever there is one, it is hard at work to give
the State to Bell-at all events to take it from
Breckenridge And as, in GEORGIA, an absolute
majority is required to choose Electors, in default
of which the choice devolves on the Legislature,
and Bell men will, it is understood, make half
ndhalf Electoral Ticket so as to carry the State
by a combination of their forces. At present, the
Douglas Electoral Ticket is headed by Aleck. ii.
Stephens and Augustus r. Wright, two able,
clever men, but most inveterate Clay Wings in
other days.
In CONNECTICUT, the Democratic State Con-
vention was held last week, and the Douglas men
had majority therein. They were urged to put
two Bell men on the ticket, but refused-then to
put on some Breckenridge men, and secuted the
proposition. They oyerslaughed the old aristoc-
racy Of the party-the IngersOlls, Seymour, Tou-
cey, &c.-put Sam Colt, man of yesterday, but
good at working and paying at the head OF their
ticket, making it all Douglas from stem to stern,
though they were perfectly aware that it would
require every anti Republican vote at least to carry
the State against LincOlO. OF course, we are not
prasing or blaming them for this-we simply state
the facts.
So in MAINE, INDIANA, ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN,
Iowa, and nearly every Free State, the Douglas
men utterly refuse TO give the Breckenridge men
corner onthe ticket though they know thatthey must
have the whole anti publican vote if they are to
do anything. Not one Douglas State Convention
has yet offered quarter to the Breckenridge men,
while their chief has steadily branded them as Dis
uI ionsts, Secesionists, &c, and secuted the idea
of any Fusion between them and his kind of Demo
Gratis. Yet the Breckenridge men of this State, so
far as they are transferable, are to BIT transferred
by their leaders to the Douglas ticket, for the
nominal consideration Of four Electors out of
thirty five And Messrs. Landrum and Crawford
