Two of the gentlemen put up'ss
Presidential electors by the Dong lss
men in Iowa, refnse to run. There
are q good many Democrats osst
there willing 10 be buried politically
with Douglas, but they don't wish
TO be compelled to dig their own
Igravee.
TyE RsvoLuron IN THg SxnAss.--
The changes in the Senate have
gone on slowly but surely Tor Eve
years. The Democrats prepondeY.
ance has steadily diminished year
by year; and the Republican side
has every year increased it's num-
bers. There are now twenty.six
Republicans. The recent election
in Oregon secures the gain of one.
The substitution Of Gov. Chase for
Pugh from Ohio, is another.
The Pennsylvania and Indiana
Legislatures will pretty certainly be
Republican, and this secures q gain
of two more in place Of Bigler and
Fitch. Kansas cannot be kept out
much longer, and when admitted
she will add two more. The Re-
publicans will then lack but two Of
a majority, which two they can
hardly fail to get in the place Of
Thompson, Of New Jersey; and
Bright, of Indiana. The Senate
once gained, it will be as difficult
tor any opponent to wrest it from
tho Republicans as it has been for
the Republicans to wrest it from
the Democrats [Al6any Evening

Eminent Donglas men in Phila-
delphia, recognizing the idea that
Pennsylvania will decide the con-
test, and prompted by q cordial
hatred OF the administration party,
boldly avow their determination to
vote for Lincoln rather than to suf-
fer the election to be thrown into the
House, and thus secure the success
of Joe Lane.
The Albany Standard (Breckin-
ridge organ) processes to have dis.
covered how the cat is going to
jump in that vicinity. 1t says:
The Republicans not only engi-
necrcd and helped to pay for the
Douglas reception, on Friday night,
but he was honored with eompli-
mcntnry visit, on Saturday, from
T Gov. Morgan, Thurlow Weed and
othor leading Republicans. We
learn from leaky ''soit" that Mr..
Weed promised to make Judge
Douglas Secretary OF State, pro-
vided he would keep up the fight
against the Nationals. Judge ID.
promised TO take the offer into con.
sideration and report progress at an
early day.
"lon," Of the Baltimore Sun,
writes:
! In Georgia the Bell and Douglas
parties have united in the support
oi u common electoral ticket, but
the movement appears to be very
.distastcml to some OF the friends df
Bell, and may rcdue instead of in
crease his strength in that state.
Senator Green, of Missouri, in
. a recent speech at Saint Joseph,
/, ',icnit tnc" rrtrcr HIant some pretty
severe blows, as followe:
lie supported John 9. Breckin &.
liJSe, because he had never Travelled
up and down the river on the decks
ot stranboat4, advocating his own
elections; he had never descended
into beer saloons, and drank lager,
in order to gain popularity with the
vulgar rabble; he had never sent
hired letter writers all over tho
country to puff himself into notorie.
ty, AMI cry down everybody clse;
he had never prosiltuted the tele-
graph to sound his own praises and
miSrepresent every other prominent
|, man in the party; and, finally, he
supported him because he was tho
only man who had any chance OF
defeating Lincoln. No Southern
state would, under any ciicumstan.
ces, cast her electoral vote for Doug
las, and he didn't. believe he could
get a single Northern state.
