other man IN the condolences Of Mr.. BIT
ebanpn. should be candidate: we have
| for some time known that with Mr.. Doug
las. we hal 10 contend against the Repub-
iic.r marty, and IA. eoa6isats Of Mr.. Bu-
ebspsp and that the vote welded by the
Administration, would be cast for Lincoln
in the absence Of candidate. II is there
fore much 10 be desired that, IN those f'ss
States where the Administration is thought
TO have an influence, ticket be at once
| gotten up FOR Mr.. breckenridge, 30 ss TO
| prevent the Ike Cooks" aud "Cushings"
from strengthening lincoln, ny casting
their votes for him. "a they would do rs
certainly ~ they did IN 1888 IN the contest
between Dougias aud Lincoln
The friends OF stephen A. Doueiss III

| movement of the sseedsfs aud their candi-
date. II strengthens him ct places where
he needs ", ny weakening hheois, ~
Withholding from him the votes that
weak ana corrupt aanipisuanon can eoh-
soi'
Neither have Mr.. Douglas fiehos any
thing to fear from MI Bell for he viii
also draw from Mr., Lincoln the more con
SENTATIVE men OF the Republican party
such men ss Bates of Missouri.
Mr.. Douglas stands on the great csrdi-
nal principle Of non Intervention ON the sla-
very question, the principle inaugursted
by the immortal Clay IN 1850, the prinei-
pie which elected Mr.. Buchanan and
elevated John g. breckenridge TO tho Vice
Presidency. These gentlemen may throw
this platform oterbpard-they may tram
pie II underfcot but they cannot change
the principle. " ia engraved on the hearts
Of every man whose aim IL 60 preserve the
Union. Eeceders may FIRE their guns
they may shout for the South aud sing
songs of praise TO Mr.. breckenridge bat
they will never elect him President, and
the time Mr.. Editor, has not come when
The people q. the bidding Of q few disap-
pointed politicians can be induced 10 vote
for Sectional candidate on q Ss,fioaai is
sue Democrats will not do - as q party
"a Is fully proved by the recent eonyen
tlons-tbey will not do Il In Louisiana
true they are divided. and the balance Of
power Ia in the hands Of the American.
We number not less than 10000, in thi.
state !. and II cannot be the expectation
Of the Secfioaaiisfs that any portion Of this
vote will be cast, FOR Mr.. Breckenridge
occupying az he docs. the position Of no,
only being the candidate Of the discontsnts
| but also, the candidate Of the administra
ton Of Mr.. buchanan.
am pleased TO know Mr.. Editor, that
you have taken a stand in favor Of Mr..
Douglas, we who were Of the American
party, have the power to decide the con
test In Louisiana. Let ne do 10 aud let u
be for Douglas and the Union, now and
forever. Such know Is the sentiment Of
nine teotbs Of the Amsrjcaps beyeabouts
