A SoMNAMBULIsT ON THE CARs.-A gen
tleman few days ago arose from sleep
ing car on tho Lake Shore road this side
of Erie, and the conductor saw him with
eyes open, coat and boots off, but had nc
idea that he was asleep, and let him pass
He went on and opened the car door, the
cars were at full speed, and the man asleep
and alone, is on the platform. He goes
down the steps, and-soon the conductor
makes search for him everywhere through
the train but he was net to be found. A
man was sent back on horse car, and
soon found him not much injured but q
very mad man. The first consciousness
the man had, he was twirling, tumbing
and turning somersaultin the gravel and the
rafting train scudding away under full
moon as unconscious of his condition AS
he had bean minute before.

How TIRE REPUBLICANS CARRIED MAINE.
1t is said that the Administration u.ed
all its efforts, and employed the unusually
large number Of Office holders, and the
immense federal patronage in the state
of Maine, to aid the Republicans to carry
that state, lest, if carried by the Demo
Gratis, the effect of the victory would bene-
fit the cause Of Douglas. 1t has helped
to strike down heroic body of men Who
were struggling in Maine to uphold the
cause Of Democracy. What shameful and
disgracefnl conduct. Fortunately for the
great north west there is comparatively
bat little federal patronage in it, and pc
sides, large majority Of those who hold
appointments cannot be used to inj,re the
party. They viii stand by their princi

At The evening session, after tho delegates

At the evening session, after tho delegates
and the electoral ticket had been chosen, there
followed one Of Tic nblest debates haye heard
in long lime. It Twas urged with great forco
and eIoquence by Attorney General James Il.
Howe, Judge 7. Q. I1owc, aud By J. 7. Nc
Grcgor, q resident Of the same place With
Judge Dixon, that he ought not to be pro-
acribed for honestly and bravely expressing
lis opinion on 1cgal question when the great
weight Of authority was ON his side, in the
face Of Tie opposition which he knew that de-
cislon would encounter, while as earnest Re:
publicans as there were in the State, sided
with him and admired him, both rs Judge
and man. They further urged that noni-
nation should not be made, because the Repub-
lican party had never made q nomination for u
judicial office, and there was no occasion now
toprostratc the Judiciary to political purposes,
sloughs ofpart1zan politics; also, that as the
party was not agreed on tile States Rights
question, a nomination could not be made
without prescribing one side or tho other, and
distractinE. party which should be ready to
move shoulder to shoulder with unbrokcu front
to d glorious victory next fall.
To this Mr.. Scflurz responded that both the
candidates who would be left on the course, il
no domination was made, we're distas.e!ul to a
large body Of Republicans, that the nomination
Of q third man was not q prescription Of those
holding either view Of the States' Rights ques-
tion, willie If there WIS no nomination, the issue
would be direct On that question. He thought
the responsibility could not be eyaded; but that
if the two candidates most prominent before the
people should run independent, the one getting
nlajority would load the responsibility oi
Ills election on the Republican party. He be.
lieEcd in bold and manly course, and desired
nlwa,ys to fight under the Republican banner,
wAetAe. in victory or defeut.
Judge Howespoke at some length on the gen
eEal question Of States Rights. The whole de-
bate was most earnest and animated, the speak.
ers evidently uttering the honest sentiments oi
their i1most souls; hut WIS characterized by
the Utmost courtesy and cordial good feeling

Who had been in very i'll health for some time
past. took medicine on Tuesday last, which
seemed to relieve him very much, and in tie
evening the whole family, consisting Of himself,
h1s wife and an adopted dau.hicr, retired to
rest about nine clock, after Mrs, Wuebler l.uu
6!lc.l up the coal stoye, whicl, stood in IN nd

my into that apartment. The woman and her
daughter were worn out with waiting upon The
sick husband and father, and soon fell into q
sleep, from which. singular to SAY. they never
awosc urtli Wednesday evening, having sk ut
something over twenty ono hours. Mrs, WocI,-
lcr was .lts: TO nwal.n, and surprising it to be
nearly daJ, she jumped out Of bed and com.
meueed pEeparing the breakfast, when neigh
bor knocked at the door to inquire whether they
did not desire some assistance, as the wafer
(near which they lived) was rising very rapidly.
Mrs. Noehler here remarked low singular it
WAS that it grew dirEer nnd darker instead Of
lighter, When she discovered, by her neighhos's s
reply. that II was evening, and that sue and
ller tanlily had slept the whole day. In the
mean time, the daughter had left her bed md
dressed, reinarking, as she entered the room
where ter mother ind the ncighbor were, that
she VAS" glad there was no school to- day, Us it
was Nashington's birth day." Mrs. Woehler
now ran into her husband with the intention Of
calling him up. but was horror stricken to find
that he WIS dead and had been so fur soue
time. 1twas supposed By all tha. lie must hare
died during the night before, and the wife, Of
course, lay part Of that night and the whole Of
the 22d in bed with the corpse.

This ives Douglas some scattering votes
from Maryland and elsewhere. But the gcner-
al impression is, that after the first ballot the
South will be a unit against him, and that lie
will be withdrawn from tie track before the
fifth ballot is taken. -Four Northern States will
be dead against him from first 10 last, viz: New
York, Pennsylvania, Oregon and California.
Tom. Dyer, who has been here NIL winter en-
gineering for Douglas, has gone to Charleston
US his Commissary General, to provide quarters
and rations for the Squattcr Sovereignty parti-
zans who are expected to be in attendance to
the number of 7Vo, insiders, and outside c,dc

other charges are to bcin proportion. The New
York delegates, in order to escape such cxtor-
ton, are going to charter steamboat to take
them down and back, and will eat and sleep on

The Republicans are delighted with Linco1n's
New York speech. There were K, 900 copies Of
it subscribed for to-day, by members Of Con-

The speech has created n sensation through the
eastern States such as few speeches have ever
done.

now fast falling. Ry the time the Convention
is held !! will DO ont Of market. The signs
now arc, that if Seward is not nominated, Lin
coin will be. If the delegates Of the four close
and doubtful States shall say to the Convention
that they can be carried for Seward, be will be
our standard bearer. But if they shall declare
that he can not carry them, then Lincoln, in
all probability, will be chosen to head the
ticket, and run the race set before him.

men Of different sbudes Of opinion concentra-

which resulted as follows:
