Mir, Douglas Albany Speech,

The great question now Tn dispute be- tween the Albany Evening Journal, the New York organ of Lincoln -Sewardism and the Albany Atlas and Argus, the New York organ of Douglass s-squatter sov- ereignty, is, whether Mr. Douglas in his recent speech at Albany uttered '' the sen timents of the republican party" or whether the republicans are endeavo to steal Douglas thunder" by appropriating his doctrines and making them their own.
 This is very delicate question and re- quires keen discrimination to settle it. The similarity between the doctrines enun- ciated in that speech and those of the black republicans, and vice versa, on the subject of slavery in the territories, is certainly very great, and we do not think that the Atlas and Argus ought to be sincerel y of fended if it's evening rival mistook portions of the Douglas speech for "the sentiments of the republican party"
 One thing IS very clear, and that is that the Lincoln Seward organ is of opinion that republicans need not have much diffi- culty in voting for Mr. Douglas, and that the political opinions of that gentleman are not palpably distinct from those of Lincoln
 We recommend the whole matter to the investigation of those democrats in the Empire State who still adhere to Mir. Doug las, but who do recognise the existence of wide, wide, difference between the l" sen- timents " of the blackrepublicans and those of true democrats.
 That sterling, honest paper the Journal of Commerce contains the following sage and wholesome advice:
 "We think we can suggest safe and sure remedy for all who do not care to be placed in doubtful attitude politically. It is, dscarding both Lincoln and Douglas, and leaving to their respective adherents to determine whose thunder it is that now reverberates about the State capital, to enter heartily upon the support of the national democratic ticket, bearing the names of Breckinridge and Lane. They will thus avoid all suspected affiliation with sectionalism, and cast their influence and their strength where, if at all, it can re- dound to the success of democratic princi- ples and policy If it has come to pass that the difference between Lincoln repub- licanism and Douglas democracy cannot be determined without argument and con- troversy, it is time to discard both."

A TREMENDOUS INvENTIoN-A little sheet published or printed in Daneville, Livingston county, Ne~ York, gives us the following original information:
 7he South .for Douglas.-Advices from the Southern States, by newspaper, tele- graph and private letter, are all to the effect that Douglas strength there is as form:d .ble and rapidly increasing as his most ardent supporters could wish. The indications now are that Douglas will sweep the entire South in November.
 This is the way by which the desperate and reckless factionists of the North attempt to mislead the large mass of northern readers, who in the rural districts, never see any live papers from the South, or from a distance.
 If Douglas carries one southern State it will be more than candid supporters expect, if they would now admit the fact.
 In fact. it is mixed ;" up. considerably with doubt whether he will scarry State, north or south. CAarleson Courier.
