NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The St. Louis Democrat Of the 18th says
that the hope that Missouri can be carried
for Lincoln and Hamlin is by no means rash
Or unfounded, for the reason that tho Presi-
Dental contest in that State will undoubted-
/ ly be straiSht-out quadrangular one. 1t
says that no functions, fusions or alliances
between any two of the four great parties IS
possible.
There are several straws indicating which
way the wind is blowing in New York State.
For instance, the Albany Journal says that
| in a town near that city every man who ever
acted with the American party is now out
! for Lincoln Lincoln's majority in that
town triH be double the Republican rots in
Sc
At meeting of some sixty Americans in
Buffalo few evenings since, called to give
an expression Of their views in regard to the
propriety of passing themselves over to
Douglas, as arranged by Hunt, Brooks & Co,
fGg-one concluded to vote for Lincoln.
1t is rumored that the Bell and Everett
men, Of Vermont are to hold State Con-
vention, for what earthly object, unless the
glory of seeing their names in print in the
Boston Courier is enough to pay for the
trouble, we cannot understand. 1t i. stated
that Thos F Marshall, of Ky, is to do the
speaking, assisted by E. j. PHELrs and J.
B. WHEELER, Esqrs., of this place, and Of
course by the irrepressible 0RHsBv.
At the Democratic County Convention in
Caledonia County, an incendiary democrat
had the hardhood to Try 10 Introduce some
resolutions like the-s
Resoired, That Freedom is National
Resolred That all persons counted a5 a
basis Of representation must alsl he counted
as constituents Of those that represent them
Ofcourso he didn't succeed.
1t is related that alteg Mr.. Douglas had
urged the people to embrace hs doctrine,
at Rutland, largo irish women rushed up
and embraced hin, She grabbed him in her
brawnyarms and kissed him before the whole /
crowd.
The staff Of the old Chicago Times doug
las home organ) has disbanded IN
despair. Mr. Shcehan goes to Spring /
field to help edit the State Register, and .
ColT.E. Eastman comes back to the Montpe- .
lier (Vt.) Patriot.
Il has been ascertained that in nearly
every County Clerks Office in Illinois, the
number Of the STATE Register, containing Mr..
Douglas speech in which he pronounces the /
Missouri Compromise akin in slcretness to !
the Constitution, has been mutIlated OF des- !
uoycd !
Mr. Henry Helm says in an Illinois paper /
that he left the Democracy two years ago
but now goes back to them, Prentice says
he's & slippery elm.
a Douglas paper in Kentucky says that
its friends in this Safe are now perfectly
unitcd-that there IS but one watch word. /
one crv among them We don't wonder
that the poor, afflicted fellows are all taking
one good long ' cry together" This also
is Prentice's JOKE.
The Foa du Lac Press SAYS there IS not a
buggy load of Breckenridge men in WisCon-
sin. The Madison Argus retorts that there
will be a sulky" load of Douglas men
after election.
HARD On j. b. Ii is the custom Of the
Long Island Republicans to open their meet
ings with prayer. \ venerable clergyman,
called upon to perform this service at the
dedication of the Wig-wam at, Il few
evenings since, en- mbraced in his tervent petit
ton the following by no means cOmpllmt n
tary allusion to the present Administration
.. o Lold thou kn0west that sometimes the
vilest Of the vile attain the high places OF
power, and that we, as people, are now
undergoing a bitter erpeT'"pce IN this respect.

The Philadelphia Inquirer gives report
of great Lincoln and Hamlin demonstration
at Wilmington, Delaware, a Slave State, on
Friday night. At least two thousand equipped
men were in the line of procession. Among
the mottoes were the following
"Frcodom national-Slavery sectional.
o. Let Us meet di5union with Union-that Union !
which gave US the Constitution"
s'Westw ard tho star Of empire takes its way,
L1sco1y will he President the people say.

Freedom won by our fathers the watchword Of
their sons" On the reverse-"Right
