Mfr. DoUGLAs-From the very first moment that this
gentleman named candidate for the presiden-
cy to the present tme we have conscientousIy and
consistently opposed him. and shall continue to do So
account Of his freeso and squatter sovereignty pr
ciples; still willing to acknowledge that he is
greatman, hold and daring The whole power of the
general government has been welded without effect to
crush him He has exposed the corruption Of the gen
eral government successfully. We said he was able
and hold and may add, probably deserved better
cause. In proof of his boldnoss, read:
The following incident is given as having occurred
at Norfolk on the reception of Mr.. Douglas To the
question whether the election Of Mr.. Lincoln would
justify secession from the Union, be responded TEN
phaticay mol" The election of no man chosen by the
constitutional forms would justify secession.
To the question whether he would advise force to be
used, to resist secession, he replied
II answer emphatcaily thatt is the duty Of the presi-
dent of the United States and all in authority under
him. to enforce the laws of the United States passed by
congress- and as the courts expound them and as in
duty bound by my oath and fidelity to the constitution
would do all in my power to aid the government Of the
United States in maintaining the supremacy of the laws
against all resistance to them, come from whatever
quarter they might"
I'm other words, think the president of the United
States should treat all attempts to break up the Union
by resistance TO its laws Old Hickory treated the
nuilyers in 1882" applause.
In few hours after the delivery of the above Ian
guage Mr. Douglas sets out for fhe States Of nullic
ton and disunion He is received with open arms!

WAR IMMINENT IN EURoPE.-The London cores
pendent OF the New York Times says:
a great European war IS scarcely TO be avoided.
Though the Austro Prussian alliance which now ey-
tends all Germany, is for the present only de
fensiye one, still it cannot fail to soon become an often
sve one in the face of the rapid extension of the rev
oluton in Italy. Napoleon now sees his danger, and
accordingly keeps 100000 men under arms. In the
course of August he is to have interview with king
Victor Emanuel at-Monaeo, between French and Ital-
ian provinces TO arrange the future relations of the
empire and italian kingdom-these natural allies
against the coalition The Latin races and German
nation ptted against another, but revolution
and enthusiasm side with the Latin league, while
the German coalition represents the oppression other
nationalities and centIasing despotism The orien-
tai question complexities the situation still more since
Europe cannot allow that Russia should annex the
east while the western and central powers making
war against one another; and still the sultan and the
Turkish empire pastsavng. They have wasted the
time given them by the Crimean war, and the peace
of Paris without consolidating their power; and their
doom sealed since the anatcism of the Lebanon and
Damascus captors has reused the indignation of the
civised world against power unable to give protec
ton to its subjects and to prevent the attroeous
oUtrages

The St. Louis News specializing upon the result of
the presidential election, saws:
1T is an important fact that Bell and Everett are the
second choice of both the Douglas democrats and the
Breckenridge democrats because as neither Douglas
Breckenridge possibly be elected, their inhu-
in the emergency likely arise will assuredly be
thrown in favor of the Union candidate to insure the
defeat of the sectional republican ticket. Bell and
Everett will PROBABLY carry every Southern State but
South Carolina Mississippi Texas and even the eee
tors of those States when they find that Breckenridge
cannot by any possible chances be elected will at
the last moment vote for the Union candidates. Mr.
Douglas will perhaps carry Illinois, and the united
Union and Douglas ticket will carry New York"

RENENDER.-Lct the people remember,
when they hear the cry of disanion"
rai'ed against breckenridge and Lane, the
gallant leaders of the National Dcmocra-
cy, that they both perilcd their lives on
the battle fields of Mexico, in the service
of the Union, while Douglas, Bell and
Lincoln remained at home, in inglorious
ease, at safe distance from all danger
They have both proved their devotion to
the Union, by pcriling their lives in its
cause, and il necessary would do it again.
Let every Democrat hurl this fact into the
teeth Of any base slandcrer whom he may
hear mouthing such a charge. 1t is only
uttered and circulated by men who would
shrink appalled, at the face Of an enemy,
and refuse to stand up in defence of their
country's honor, or who would purchase
safety by sacrifice of manlincss.

A FACr.-Let the Democracy remember
that the race in this State is between
Brcckinridge and Lincoln. Let those who
prefer the triumph Of SectiOnalism and
Eannticism and negro equality, vote for
Lincoln. Let those who prefer to see the
Democratic party and principles again
triumph in this proud young Common
wealth, who cherish the faith of tn. old
Apostles Of Democracy, who are unwil-
ling TO follow an apOstate or be transfer
red to the Black Republican party, vote
for DreckinrklSe and Lane. Every vote
cast against them helps Lincoln. II is a
fact, patent to the dulIest comprehension,
that Douglas has not ghost Of chance
Of carrying even > single State. lie is
politically dead, end his party and plat.
form die with him. Sensible men are
convinced Of this fact and ere tlockins to
the standard Of Breckenridge and Lane.
