Mr.. Douglas The only oStenSible
and true object sought in making q
Breckenridge ticket in the Northern
States was to divide the Democratic
party, so as to give Lincoln every one

Mr.. Douglas Lincoln has no hope
of being elected except through the
efforts of the Secessionists, who have
divided the Democratic party. Sup
posing BrecLinridge could carry
every Southern State-.-thcugh it now
seems he is not going to carry sin

ding the North, he gives every one
Of those to Lincoln, thus allowing him
to be elected by the popular vote. !

Southern secessionists, and that, too,

cess of Northern Abolitionists or that
of Southern Secessionists, the Union
and our glorious Cnnstitutionare alike

Mr.. Douglas concluded 10y an earu-

sustain the regular nominees. A
