The Prospect.

Our exchanges bring US cheering intel
ligence from the East in relation to the
progress of the Presidential canvass
Enthusiastic meetings are being held in
all the New England States, in New
York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey
The masses appear to, be moving
To be sure, we cannot always rely upon
the statements of newspapers, - if we
could, each fthe several candidates
for the Presidency, is certain to win. 4
We must accept with many grains of
allowance for either mistaken views, or
wilful misrepresentat the claims of
partizan papers; and try TO make up a
Judgment for ourselves of the probable
result. We heardra Breckenridge man
say the other day. that his favorite
would carry every Southern State, with
California and Pennsylvania. We heard
"a Douglas man aver that his favorite
was sure Of Indiana, Illinois, New York
and New Jersey, with Missouri. Lous-
ana, Kentucky, Georgia, and Mississip-
pi. And the Republican press claims
that every Noithcrn State but Califor-
will be carried for Lincoln. ..o.,
These speculations are useless The
claims set up for each are without reas-
on. Lincoln may carry Pennsylvania,
and ought to do it, and will do it unless
there shall be combination Of the hos
tile wings of the Democratic party. 9 7
We do not believe it subserves the
interest of any party to mislead, or at
temp to do SO, and we do not mean to
be one ofthcm. One thing is certain,
the rally for LINCOLN in the Northern
States is a good one, and the cause is
going forward with Increased .enthusi-
asm every day. The great fight is,to
take place inlPennsylvania, New York
and New Jersey. There is tie battle
to be decided, and we belle q success success
fully for our candidate.

'a THRILLING INciDENT In a lecture
recently delivered by "Grace Green
wood" at Boston, on "Heroism,'' she
referred to an incident that took place
at the burning Of a steamer on onr of
the Western lakes:Woo sdl bad3Go7car
p ''Among the few passengers whose
courage and presence of mind rose. sup
erier on the perils and horrors of the
night, was mother, who succeeded in
saving her two children by means of a
settee. While they were in the water,
the mother saw aman swimming toward
the settee. and, as he was aboutto grasp
it, she cried: "Don't take it away from
my poor children.'' The man made no
answer, yetthe appeal struck home; for
by the light ofthe flaming vessel, she
could see that his face was convulsed
by the struggle between the mighty Prl-
NAL Instinct of nature and something
better and holier. TX 1t was but for a
moment - He threw up his hands, with
a1groan of remuneration, flung himself
over backward, and went down.

The Other Side.

We copy from the St. Paul Tunes the
following notice Of US and the NEwERA.
1t would certainly be uncourteous in US
not to thank the editor Of the Times for
his present view of our position; yet we
cannot help thinking it would have been
little more just, had he waited TO hear
the .other side" before he expressed
his opionion Of our course as published
when he printed the resolution denounc-
ing this paper. What he said then and
what he saws now looks little contra
dictory.
The editor Of the Times knows just as
well as we do, that in political times
high sounding resolutions are often sent
off to newspapers, purporting to be the
expression of whole people, but which
when traced to their source being the
expression Of an unimportant few, lose
all their Importance o'
The Sauk Rapids New Era. -
The Other Side
In Justice to Mr.. Wood, of the Sauk
Rapids New Era, who has been de-
nounced f,r his vascilatlng course on
the Presidential question by a meeting
Of Republicans in Sauk Rapids, the pro-
ceedings of which we have published,
we copy portion Of his defence. He
says that the meeting was very small
one and did not represent the sentiment
of the Republicans Of the county, there
being but SIX voting to upbraid him Cor
his course. He also says:
ss'rhe mover Of the resolution admitted on the
floor that he had personal pique against the ed
itor Of the New Era. lie not only did not deny
it, but actually came out plainly and said it was
so.
The simple idea that six prejudiced members Of
the Republican party should undertake 10 ''read
us OUT" but for its absurdny, would be laugha- :
BILE.
1t must be remembered that the county was in
no manner represented Princeton was not re-
presented-Watab was not represented"
We know nothing about the personal
difficulty existing between the mover Of
the resolution and the editor, but it
seems to US that while he (Wood) may
have given some cause for complaint on
the part of the Republicans, that the
vote six persons out of nineteen (some
refusing to vote in any ordinarily called
meeting, would not be considered fair
expression Of public sentiment. Mr.
Wood remarks;
We are publishing Republican paper, and
can be turned neither tothe righi or left by the
personal pique of any Timothy Sinpkms. Regi-
ments of just such as those Hho voted TO de-
nounce the New Era on Saturday evening, can
not deter US from the faithful and independent
discharge Of our duties as an advocate Of s'Free
Soil'' and al'Free Press tU
! With this positive assurance on the
part ofthe New ERA we cannot see
any good reasons why the Republicans
should withhold their support from it :.
Our friends should bear in mind that
victory is not so sure that we can halt
by the way-side to wrangle with those
who are willing TO help on in the good
cause. So, gentlemen, be charitable.
for without charity life, after all, is Of
but little consequence.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Douglas
aud johnson Association, and other c:ti-

Judge Douglas at Q o'clock this evening,
accompanied by the Marine Band Of the
Association, and complimented him with
serLade. Judge Douglas was walcon
ed back to Washington in few fslcitious
remarks by Mr.. John G. Enos, President
of the Association. after which Judge
Douglas vas introduced and received With
tremendous applause.
Referring to Hon. A. H. Stsphens'
late speech, Judge D. said he endorsed
every sentiment 1t contained, and it in
spired him with the hope that there was
party yet strong enough to save the
country. He accepted the Georgia plat
form in al its features. The personal
Liberty Bills should never have besn on
the statute books Of any State. He be-
lisved Congress had power to remove all
distractions 70 the Fugitive Slave Law
whether resulting from State or any othe,
legislation.
He again exhorted his friends to In.
dulge in no recriminatioos; 10 let by gonet
be by cones, and unite for the presersa
tion of the Union. He concluded by
saying that on Monday he should resun,
his seat in the Senate with no prejudice OF
i'll feeling towards any one, except ths
enemies of his country.
