NOTES or THE CAMPAIGN

The finale of the fusion attempts in New
York appears in the shape Of an Address by
the Breckenridge State Committee to the
"National Democracy Of that State. The
writer's say ''Our object in addressing YOU
at the present time IS officially to announce,
with unleigned regret, tbs final and absolute
failure Of an attempt made by us in good
faith to unite the opponents Of Republican,
ism in this State against the election Of Lin
coin. 80 The origin and progress If the
,.attempt" are then detailed, and the blame
Of the result is thrown on the Douglas men.
They declare that ''the Douglas organization
in New York have determined that the State
shall be given to Lincoln All true Demo
Gratis are accordingly cautioned against vo,-
ins with tie Douglas party.
Another important accession to the Re
publican ranks in New York city is ez-
Alderman Brisley. lie announces his change
in letter to Mayor Wo-d, in which he says
he has been a Democrat for more than a
quarter of a century but the corruption Of
the Buchanan administration, the position
Of Mr. Freckinridge and the domagogicll
character of Mr. Douglas, have determined
him to vote for Lincoln and Hamlin.
Senator Bright has made a defiant speech
IN Patriot. Indiana lie stakes his reputation
on the assertion that Douglas viii not get
single electoral vote. He declares that the
Douglas men can make the gulf as deep aud
the wall as high as they please, which is to
separate them from the rest of the Dcmocra-
cy. lie has evidently made up his mind to
a Democratic defeat in the present campaign
\ Douglas meeting in Philadelphia, Sat
urday night, unanimously resolved against
fusion and Gov. johnson, the Douglas
candidate for vice President, will stump the
State for the straight electoral ticket
Nothing more significant has occurred IL
New York, than the large meeting Of Amer
leans, called at Rochester, by four hundred
and s.rty men, hitherto prominent members
Of the American party but who are now for
Lincoln, to protest against the sale of the
American party to the Douglas DemOcracyof
NewYork.
The great Wide-Awakc torch light de-
monstration IN New York, last Thursday
night, when 5000 torches appeared in pro-
cassion. was after all but as iarthing can
die compared with one that will be made IN
the same city on the evening Of October 8
That embraced only the Wide-Awakes of
New York and Brooklyn-this is to be ma
tional demonstration.
The Whitehall Sentinel, hitherto an ar
dent supporter Of Breckenridge and Lane,
has run up the flag OF Lincoln and Hamlin.
The paper will hereafter be conducted by
Mr. Blanchard, formerly of the Plattsburgh
Express.
Orestcs A Brownson, one Of the ablest
writers of the country, and who has always
heretofore acted with the Democratic party,
made a thoroughgoing Republican speech at
Elizabethport, New Jersey, on Thursday
evening. lie not only commended the poll
cy of the party in regard to the freedom OF
the territories, but he eulogized 'the honest
backwoodsman of Illinois"
The Louisville Journal, in a recent num-
Der, says;
4" We do not by any means object to Mr..
Breckenridge that he is in favor of the doc
trine of Intervention, for John Bell is an faro,
of that doctrine, andre ourselves are IN faror
of IT,"
We suppose that paper Of the Louisville
Journals standing would not make such
statement without full authority.
The Bangor (Me.) Union, a Breckenridge
paper that processes to look with satisfaction
upon the late Republican victory in that
State, shows that in the fifteen towns in
Maine where Senator Douglas spoke, there
was net democratic loss of 1858 votes.
The Republican electoral ticket of Ken
lucky has been completed. An address is to
be published in few days in advocacy Of
the ticket
Among the Democratic nominees for Con-
gress in Michigan, appears the name of 5.
c. Cofiuberry. Alter election he will doubt
less be Cofin-Juried.
