"ThiDgs look little mixed now, but wait
This has been the language of Douglas men, ever
since the vet blanket of Breckenridge, was thrown
upon their ardor. At first Breckenridge was 60
ing to decline shortly-then an arrangement was
to be made in each State, whereby no votes were
to be lost to this Locofoco ticket but all were to
be gathered, fish and flesh, into one net as it
were, under one electoral ticket, and then divi-
ded according to preference between the two
LOcof0c0 candidates-the most votes to carry the
day. This cock fought no better than the de-
CLEMSON rooster, and it soon become evident that
speciOus as the thing looked, it was fated to be
in practice, a most magnificent failure. The
leaders found the Union ticket folks as saleable
as the inmates Of house Of ill-fame, and as ready
to lend themselves to any scheme to defeat Lin
coin, but the Democracy themselves, svinccd an
unreasonable desire to exercise choice between
Douglas and Breckenridge, and to know for whom
they are to be sold, at the time of casting the
ballot. They were ready to buy the pic, at any
price, but insisted upon seeing him out of the
poke, that they might be sure of his being pig,
and not puppy.
To make long story short, the whole thing
in New York, where it was said the desperate
battle was to be fought, has been quietly and Ia
city given up. The Journal Of Commerce
states In unqualified terms, that no safe or sane
politician has hope of carrying that State, more
especially since the Douglas committee, by a
vote of seven to i've have refused to cOalesce
with the Breckenridge men on the Electoral
Ticket, upon their last terms. III Connecticut,
Douglas has not the ghost Of chance. Six Of
the eight leading Democratic dalies, have declar-
ed for Breckinridge-two Of them within the
last week-leaving only barely two, one at Hart
ford, and one at New Haven, to stand by Doug
las, and one Of them the Journal Of Commerce
says admits the folly of making any fight for the
American Cataline in that State. Maine, along
her sounding shores, has Numbered forth her
anathema against those false-prophets, among
her sons, who dared to claim her for slavery.
She sends to New York, in place Of the promised
aid foe Douglas, a majority of SEVENTEEN THOU
SAND, for freedom.
In her last agony, LOcofocOism now threatens
TO send the money which has been raised to cor
rupt New York, over into Pennsylvania, and
upon this rotten, crumtling hope, does the cause
Of Stephen A. Douglas now stand, while he goes
from city to city-from town to town, with rage
in his heart, blindness in his eyes, and alternate
threats and coaxing upon his tongue, exhorting
young America to save him from humiliation,
defeat and oblivion.

IL. That Kansas should, ot right, be
Immediately admitted as Stale under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
of Representatives,.
H. That, while providing revenue for
the support of the general government BY
duties upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment Of these imports as TO
encourage the Development Of the indus
trial interests of the whole country and
we commend that policy of national ex-
changes, which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remune-
rating prices, to mechanics and manufac-
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
13. That we protest against any sale or
alienation to others of the Public Lands
held by actual settlers, and against any
view of the pree Homestead policy which
regards The settlers as paupers or suppl
anls for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress of the complete
and satisfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
IA That the Republican party is OPP
posed TO any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State legislation by which
the rights of citizenship hitherto accorded
to immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor OF
giving foil and efficient protection To the
| iIglts Of all classes Of citizens, whether ma
tive or naturalized, both at home and
abroad.
ID. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor Improvements OF a
I National character, required for the &C
commodation and security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by the Consti-
tuition, and justified by the obligation OF
/ Government TO protect the lives and prop
i erty of its citizens.
10. That a Railroad to the Pacific Ocean
is imperaiively demanded by the Interests
of the whole country that the Federal
Government ought to render Immediate
and efficient aid In its construction; and
that, AS preliminary thereto, daily Over.
land Mail should be promptly established
