Fusion Confused.

ing to pieces. One branch with Brooks
for moutbpiece) affirms that the barr
gain contemplated the casting of ten votes
for BELL and EVERETT and twenty FIVE
for DOUGLAS and JOHNSON. should so mi
raculous an event happen as its election.
The other branch of the coalition, on the
other hand, affirms that the entire thirty
fire Electoral candidates were pledged un-
conditionally for DOUGLAS. Furthermore
one of the Douglasites on the electe raj
ticket "a Germany expressly declares that
he would not consent 'to go on the ticket
except upon the distinct understanding
that it is "wholIy and entirely for DouG-
LAS. He will of course withdraw. if he
finds that Brooks, the grand Know Moth
ing engineer, speaks the truth, and that
he (the said Dougla>ite Elector) has been
cheated. To cap the climax of confusion,
another of the Electors nominated, De
PEYsTER OGDEN, has announced that he
declines the nomination, unless it is def
nitely understood that he shall, if elected,
vote for BELL and EVERETT.

What They Do in Lowell.

In Lowell there are twelve corporations
with an aggregate capital of s 5, ZOO ,OoJ.
owning ftty-two factory buildings con
tanning over four hundred thousand spin>
dies and twelve thousand looms, with
other machinery in proportion employing
eighty-seven hundred women and forty
two hundred men; manufacturing yearly
more than one hundred million yards Of
cotton cloth. twenty million yards of
calico, twenty million yards of bleached
and dyed goods, one and IA half million ol
wooden cloths, and over million yards
Of carpetngs. Think of strip of cotton
cloth, yard wide and two hundred miles
long made daily! Enough in year to
60 twice around the globe. with ends
five thousand miles long to tie with.
So much for little Lowell, town in
Massachusetts, containing about $4,000
inhabitants. This town was made exclu-
sively by its manufactures. Is cotton
mills are now yielding profit that simu
lates to the highest degree of ofproduc;icn.
Its fabrict are known throughout the
world. They are sold side by side with
the best Manchester goods-in China. in
South America, and in the islands of the
Eastern seas. Boston grows rich on the
dividends of the Lowell Mills, and hel
white sails are seen on every ocean
bearing the products of home industry
and capital.

Will Douglas be withdrawn!

The friends of Breckinridge having
su cceeded in driving the Douglas men
into their measures, are becoming quite
bod. The Philadelphia Pennsylvania,
after attacking the "little giant in a
most ruthless manner, cody proposes that
he shall be taken off the track, for til e
reason that he has no chance to carry a
single State. 1t says:
.'But in all seriousness can Judge
Douglas be longer regarded by any real,
respectable Democrat as Presidential
candidate? Ought nan to be Presiden-
tial candidate ,oho does not expect to receipe
a single rotes The question is grave
one, and requires to be answered in all
becoming gravity. When candidate and
his peculiar break-neck personal friends
surrender all hope of getting an electoral
vote, and propose regularly to hire cal
their forces like the S,ciss or the Hessians
to those who will pay well. or to fgh,
those they may hate or wish to destroy
in the present case, their former party
and their country-ought not the honest
real, substantial friends Of such a candi-
date to interpose and insist on his being
withdrawn? Let Judge Douglas trut
friends withdraw him from the contest"

A Plain Statement.

Mr.. Defrees, of Indiana, recently made
a sp eech before the Republican Club of
Washington City, in which he set out the
following plain and comprehensive state
ment of the Republican principles:
The Republicans simply propose, as
announced at Chicago, as follows:
|. Non-interference with Slavery in
the Slave States-but opposition to its
extension into Territories now free
IL. 10 procure more efficient law
for the suppression of the slave trade.
III. The admission of Kansas under
h er present Constitution.
". A revenue law, discriminating in
favor Of home industry for the support
of the Government.
V. A reform in the abuse, and a re-
ducton liz the expenditures of the General
Government.
VI. A liberal homestead law for
actual settlers on the public lands.
VII. The improvement of rivers and
harbors wherever of national interest.
VIII. The speedy construction, by
the aid of the General Government, of a
railroad to the Pacific.

Stephen A. Douglas n Shareholder.

Northern men who declare their inten
ton to vote for Mr.. Douglas because he
is opposed to slavery and in favor Of free
dom, should read the article below, from
a Southern paper. Candidate Douglas
it seems is about to make Southern cleo
tioneering tour. and vii! "kil! two birds
with one stone by also looking after his
pecuniary interests in Slavery. These
nave been largely added to Of late, and
the Mobile Register, one of his ardent
Alabama supporters, expresses surprise
that Southern politicians shouldIhave any
fears of the soundness Of Mr.. Douglas on
the Slavery question. The Registe, finds
reason enough to support him and says:
''By the death, lately, of the mother ol
Judge Douglas first wife, who was a
Miss Martin, of North Carolina, his two
boys, his only children, come into the
possession Of a large fortune, consisting oil
plantations and slaves. This, added to
Mississippi property, will make Mr.. Doug
las. in behalf OF his children, one of The
largest Shareholders Of tile South. How a
man who has twice selected a Southern
lady for his wife, the whole fortune OF
whose children is dependant upon the per-
petuity of our Institutions; who, in bis pub
lie life has ever been the friend, and until
quite recently. the idol of the South; who
is almost the only Northern man Of prom
inence, that has nerer altered one yord OF
dislike, much less hatred TO slopery--how
such man can be represented as worse
enemy to slavery than Lincoln, passes

sent for by his connections in NORTH

The Effects of the Brag Game.

While it is conceded everywhere else
that Douglas has no earthly chance Of be-
ing elected President, here, in Wyandot
county. and in fact all through the
Ninth Congressional district, the leaders
of the Democratic party are making the
ignorant unsuspecting members of the
party believe that he is certainly going TO
be elected. The consequence is that some
of these poor fellows have even gone SO
far as to bet money upon Dou las elec>
ton, while you couldn't get a leader who
is posted to bet bauhee that his candi.
date has the shadow of chance. They
have adopted this brag game for the pur
pose of deceiviny the uninitiated, and
thereby avoiding defeat fer the local offices
as far as possible. We warn our Democrat
ic friends who are not we'll informed as to
the situation of affairs in other States, not
to be deceived by these designing office
seekers. There is only one State in the
Union that Douglas has the ghost of a
chance of carrying-thatis is Missouri, and
his chances even there are "growing small
by degrees and beautifully less;;' by the
time the Presidential election comes a.
round we predict that there will not be an
electoral vote for him in the United
States.
