Douglas in Ohio.

A letter lately received at this Office
from subscriber in Lynchburg, High.
land County, Ohio, says under date Of
July 27:
Douglas stock is gaining in this coun-
ty, Bell improving strongly and Lincoln
losing strength daily. The hopes of the
Republicans in this community are berg
greatly frustrated in their calculations, on
account of the vast numbers that are
leaving their ranks and falling in with the
Democrats. They were fondly hoping
that the Americans would unite with them
this fall as they did on Governor Denni-
son in 1859, but in this they will be great.
ly mistaken; all the Americans that went
for Fillmore in 1855. (6l in number) in
this (Dodson Township, Highland Coun,
ty.) will either 60 for Bell or Douglas,
and number that went for Fremont in
1856 have declared for Douglas and the
Union. 1t is my deliberate conviction
that if each township in the State should
make as many changes in favor of Doug.
las as this one will, We shall carry the State
for Douglas by $4,000. So keep the
ball rolling"

Douglas in Alabama.


The Montgomery (Ala.) Confederation
says that the news it is daily in receipt of
from the glorious old avalanche North
Alabama, is truly refreshing and inspiring
The Democracy up there, which has so
often turned the tide of battle in our past
political conflicts, are almost unanimous
for the regular National Democratic tick
et-Douglas and johnson 1t adds:
"We have accounts before US of large
meetings in jackson County, of several
in Madison, of one in Tuscumbia, Frank
lin County, of. the people generally, who
were almost unanimous for the National
Democratic ticket--Douglas and John
son. One of these accounts states that
the writer attended Breckenridge meet
ing in Jackson County on the 9th, where
some one hundred persons were present,
and Douglas had two to one of the crowd.
One friend writes: We have perfect
and general revival in these parts, and all
that fear is that all of the disunion lead
ers will be mourners before November,
and our people may be willing to forgive
them and take them back into our politi-
cal church. Don't you consent, for they
will be sure to backslide the first chance
they get,' &c. Nick Davis, Humphreys.
Bradley, Patton, Lindsay, Drake and 9TH
ers, are out doing yeoman service, and the
people are really with them to the rescue
of the Democratic party and the Union
with great unanimity."

The Contest in Georgia.

The Augusta (Georgia) Constitutional
ist thus replies to a late statement of the
Washington Constitution, that Breckin-
ridge would carry the electoral vote of
Georgia by an overwhelming popular ma.
jority: 't: ai H.
"Now, I'VE assert, and know what we
say,' that there is not the ghost of a
chance for Mr.. Breckenridge to obtain
the electoral vote of Georgia, and all who
report to the contrary are either misled
by their hopes, crazy, or wilfuIly intent on
deceiving others. Not solitary paper
in this State, so far as we have seen, pre-
tends to claim that Mr.. Breckenridge can
obtain the electoral vote of Georgia be-
fore the people Some man in the luna
tic asylum may think SO, and some may
write such nonsense for some newspaper
in distant State, but no one here ven,
ture on the expression of such an absur-
dity." sne9 )

HINTS as to Political Meetings.


As the time is approaching when po.
litical gatherings will be Numerous and
large, we beg leave to offer few sug-
gestions on the subject: -
l.. Do not fix the day for your meeting
and then look up your speakers-they will
already, perhaps, have been engaged else
where for that very day-but secure your
speakers first. Let them fix the day.
2. Two prominent speakers, with the
local aid at your command, are amply suf
fcient for any one mass meeting. Letthe
people understand these can be relied on,
aud do not load yoar bills with an array
of great names only to disappoint your
audience. 99l afati f5asna
8. Have yonr meetings, if)possible, in
doors. One indoor meeting, even if pack
ed, is worth half a dozen outdoor noisy
gatherings. The former is comparative
" easy and the latter difficult for speak
er to control.
4. If you must have outdoor gatherings
then seek the grove or woods, and fail not
to erect stand for your speakers, cover
ed with boards, and with rothing else
Canvass absorbs and deadens the voice,
while, with nothing above the speakers
head, his voice will waste in the air above,
and in five cases out of six he will break
down. .ff5g lf iAE

erett-Douglas and Breckenridge.

A correspondent writes'us that large
Bell and Everett ratification meeting was
held in Crittenden, Grant County, KY,
on Friday, July q. It. was opened by
Hon. w. s. Rankin, who made q very
effective speech, as was evinced by the
cheers that greeted his remarks, Follow
ing Mr.. Rankin came Mr.. Finnell, who
made the fur fly from the Breckinridgeites.
Hogan, of Grant County, a supporter of
Breckenridge, was present, and manifested
much uneasiness by twisting himself about
as if under some physical suffering. He
was called upon to answer, but declined
Major Richardson, of Covington, arrived
at about FIVE O'Clock, and made an able
speech in favor of Judge Douglas. Mr..
Hogan followed, but Richardson was
proclaimed the victor. Several Demo-
Gratis, who had before been sitting on the
fence, conc uded that Richardson's was
the beest side to jump off on. Hogan
met with no applause. while continued
cheering was given Major Richardson.

ArchbOld on the Stump-What
Crowds Flock to Hear Him.

We are credibly informed that on Sat-
urday evening Archbold straddled his
pony and logged off in the director of
Carrick's school house to tell the people
how to vote. What became of Archbold
we do not know, but are informed that he
was seen getting back into town in an
hour or two after he started.
One account says that the crowd con-
sisted of four; another says sac; but there

Breckenridge and Lane Outside of the
t!.z Democratic Party.

Hon. Jesse D. Bright, in his speech at
indianapolis, on Tuesday-according to
the report in the Conansercial-said: II
do not claim that B-eckinridge and Lane
are the nominees Of the Democratic party F."
As hard face and as unscrupulous a
conscience as Mr.. Bright has, he had not
the effrontery to so outrage the truth and
meet the contempt of his countrymen as
to claim that Breckinridge and Lane are
the nominees of the Democratic party.
He Gays, distinctly and unequivocally, that
they are not the nom nees of the Demo-
cratic party. We hope, after that explicit
declaration of Bright, that we shall hear
no more claims put forward by the boilers
that Breckenridge and Lane are the nomi-
nees of the Democracy. As they are not
the nominees of the Democratic party,
Democrats are nnder no obligations to
vote for them. Indeed, Democrats every.
where should repudiate them, and yield
their support to Douglas and Johnson.

We are pleased to learn that FRANKLIN
GALE, Esq for many years a citizen Of
this couAty, has become connected with
the Statesman, az Assistant Editor. For
two terms he served the people of this
county in the capacity of Prosecuting
Attorney, with credit to himself and to
the entire satisfaction of it's citizens. All
who have the pleasure of his acquaintance
know him to be man of the strictest
integrity, scholar and q gentleman, We
know him to be good writer and well
qualified, to discharge the duties of an
editor The attacks of the disorganizers
upon Mr. GALE will fall harmless. His
Democratic standing will not suffer by
comparison with that of his defamers who
are now warning against the regular nomi.

rectly in favor of Lincoln and Hamlin.

Our schools need renewed action-it is
the object of the Institute to impart that
action. Great impediments have always
surrounded the progress of primary schools
located 10 the country. They never have
had system in their progress. Among the
prominent evils we may notice the irreg-
ularity in which youth are permitted to
attend school. This evil prevails in many
parts of the State. It defeats the object
of the school law, and renders the whole
system an abortion to the State, wherever
it prevails. Disorder, idleness and vice
are necessarily connected with such sys-

is no provision for securing stationery in
schools--not because there is not an abun-

In word we are not acquainted with a

labors in another channel-to secure bet
