One Electoral Ticket!

Movements have been made in
Pennsylvania, New York, and Illinois
among few leaders of both Demo
cratic factions for concentration oil
the Party upon one set Of Electors IN
each State. The proposition is that II
a sufficient number of electoral votes
can be obtained for Douglas to secure
his election by the aid of these States,
then he is to have them, prorlded al
ways that the Democracy have them
to dispose of; but in case the election
should go to the House of Representa-
tives, the vote of Illinois shall be cast
for Breckenridge. There are three
difficulties in the way of this arrange
ment. Firstly, the men cannot be
found as candidates for Electors who
would sufficiently command the conf
dcnce of both divisions of the Party.
Secondly, if found, the masses could
not be carried to them, because the
moment the consolidation should he
attempted, there would be virtual
acknowledgment that principle was
not at the bottom of the original disa-
greement And, Thirdly, the Repub-
licans will have strength enough IN
each of the States above named to
carry their Electoral tickets even over
a combination Of the Douglas and
Breckenridge men. This scheme is
the most ridiculous of any ever
dreamed of in politics.-Dubuque Times.
By the last mail we learn that,
though the above scheme has been
thoroughly canvassed and urged, by
Mayor Wood and others, it is found
that "that cock won't crow J"

wise, imparting similar information
thereby cndcavoring to awaken, all
increased interest in the cause of Ag,
riculture throughout the State. His
address in this place, on the afternoon
of the 4th, was well attended, and
listened to with marked attention.
His labors cannot fail to be produc-
tive Of much good to the farmer and
all concerned. The General expresses
himself as greatly delighted with the
country of the upper Cedar valley,
and the general character of its in
habitants. He comedies that the coun-
try here is much more beautiful and
attractive than ia the southern portion
Of the State, and that the settlers have
made more Improvements, built bet
ter houses and barns, and more of
them, plowed up more land, and done
more fencing in the four or five years
they have been here, than the settlers
of the southern portion of the State
have done in ten or twelve years
This is certainly no faint praise, and
we trust our people will be stimula-
ted by it to renewed exertion.

PEALE's COURT OF DEArH.-We call
attention to the advertisement of the
engraving of Pcale's Court of Death
in another column. If what the Press
say of it, is only half true, it is the
cheapest and most desirable work OF
art ever introduced to the public
The New York Observer, a religious
paper, after an elaborate description o.
1t says: " Such is brief outline de
scrption of this great work. To ap
prec'ate it fully, it must be studied il
detail, and the train of thought which
is suggested followed out. No print
cd description can fully realize tn,
conception of the artist, or come up t,
the requirements of the imagination
in its study"

Temperance.

Col. J. Q. Detwiler has been doing
a great work of temperance reform in
Floyd county. He has instituted new
Lodges of Good Templars in Union
Rockford, and Rock Grove, and lee
turcd upon temperance in these and
several other towns in the County, and
has thereby greatly elevated the TEN.
perance standard among the people
throughout the county. A healthy
public sentiment in behalf Of tenn
perance is now everywhere gaining
ground among our people, which can
not fail to be of incstimable benefit to
all concerned. Mr. Dctwiler is full of
enthusiasm for the temperance reform,
and we bespeak for him cordial wei
come wherever he goes. Let the
friends of good morals not only ex-
tend to him the hand of welcome, but
let them also extend to him that Pc
cuniary aid to which he is especially
entitled, and of which he is so much
in need. 1t is great sacrifice on his
part to leave his family and his farm
and surrender his time to the TEN.
pcrance cause as he does, and he is
only induced to do SO by his exceed
ing devotion to the cause, and his ar
dent desire to save others from ruin
and death, and drunkard's grave, as
he himself has been saved. There
are incidents in his life and experience
which are enough to melt heart of
stone. No one can listen to their de-
tail without wishing that the curse of
strong drink were banished from the
land, and resolving in his own mind
never again to touch, taste or ham
die the unclcan thing.
