last for the campaign. He still s5Sms' ~
much afraid that he shall be considered "a Sec
tional candidate He said
/ When you find the Democratic organization
allied by large conservative elements of other
parties in all the Southern States, and in those
two States upon the Pacific Ocean which have
been so far removed from the contests Of the
Atlantic and Mississippi valleys that their judg'
ment as to what is sectional ought to conclusive
and when you find majority of the Democratic
organization of the State of Pennsylvania, and
supposed majority of New jersey, Connecti'
cut and Massachusetts, with large and impo-
sing organization in all the other States coop
erating-how can such nomination as that be
properly called sectonal? "
| A new subscriber to the Ohio State Journal e,
who has belonged to the Democratic party,
writes to that paper, stating his determination
to vote and use his influence for Lincoln. He
says:
" The Douglas party have been stufing wool
down my throat for the last seven years. have
tried to bear it with the patience of Job but
human patience, like all things else, must have
limit. The Interpretation put upon the Gin
cinnati platform by the Rump at Baltimore is
beyond the utmost limit of the patience of all
honorable and high -minded men"
! OCCASIONAL" of the Philadel phia Press,
says:
| " The friends of Judge Douglas in the South
are making fearful struggle against powerful
odds. They confidently expect to carry MisSou-
ri, and roll up an immense vote in most Of the
other Southern States, if they do not carry
them. These men ought to be encouraged by
The refusal in every free State to enter into any
continuation with the DiSunioniSts. Rely upon
it that every step toward such a combination
must weaken these bold men. The Disunion-
! lists have single object in view, and that is to
make the Democratic party of the country the
Disuni0n party, and to this end to force all
men who do not agree with them to assume the
position of hostility to what they call their pc
culiar institution"
This language derives some confirmation from
such statements as the following in the Charles
ton Mercury, which is an earnest supporter of
the Breckenridge ticket

1t would appear from a late speech of Hon
Lewis D. Campbell, that his detection from
Lincoln to Bell isnot attributable, as many had
supposed, to the disappointment of the Banks
speakership contest, the subsequent loss of his
seat ir Congress, OF even 10 the entire loss Of
sympathy and support among his people but
that it is attribu table wholly to the omission OF
polygamy from among the cardinal sins a:
viewed by Republicans.
The Baltimore Patriot, speaking of Henry
Winter Davis's course on the Speakership last
winter, says
"No man, however, nor thousand, may
snatch the glory Of that vote for Pennington
from II. Winter Davis. Not one Of his oppo
nents could ever have risen, in a hundred years
to the hight he mounted at one bound and in
one moment And when the question comes be-
fore his constituents for decision, as come i
will, his endorse nent will be even more tr
umbhant than his last election was"
The hostility between thesupportors ofDoug
las and those of Breckenridge has become eX
cecdingly bitter in thatpart of Illinois known
as Egypt In the town of Jonesboro' the Doug
las men have resolved not to trade at tn
Breckenridge stores, and the Breckenridge lami
lies have determined not to visit the Dougla
families, nor to recognize them as respectabl
members of society, There seems even to b
danger that the animosty will come to blows
1t has become much more savage since the recen
} Convention at Springfield, wherea Breckinridg
+ Electoral ticket was nominated.
