The Trick Persisted uu-DOuglaes Prime
ciplca 20 be Suppressed.
The organ Of the Douglas faction in
this city came out this morning with what
il represents as The "Resolutions adopted at
tho Ohio Democratic State Convention, at
Columbus, on the 4lh Of July, $780," but
which IS no such thing. Sir resolutions of
tho Platform as adopted at Columbus, are
entirely omitted and suppressed by that pa
per, including the SLAVE code one OF the Bal
timore Convention, and the balance are put
as the entire Platform. Thus are the prin-
ciples on which Douglas and johnson were
placed before the people, repudiatcd and
disowned by their organ and the leaders
who control il here. II is well known that
this policy on the part Of that paper has
been adopted under the advice Of Gen.
Steedman, who personally pursues the same
course, and denounces the Slave Code res
oIution as irregular and not binding. And
vet, he is one Of the Northern delegates
who at Charleston and Baltimore begged
Of tho Southerners not to ask them to sac.
riice their "manhood and selfrespectr p
Most people have sense enough to estimate
very nearly the amount of those virtues pos
sessed by tricksters who undertake TO sup
port candidates for President and Vice Pres
ident, while they denounco their principles.
On this plan they could as well support
Fred Douglas aud W. L. Yancey, as s. A.
Douglas and H. V. johnson, and if the
former ticket afforded better prospect for
success and the spoils following success,
there is no reason to doubt that these Tole-
do politicians would be ready to support
them. Il remains to be seen how many
who do not expect to live by political trick
cry and fraud will continue to be the supple
tools of these managers.-T Toledo Blade.

Oregon FIec,lon.


The nows by the last Overland Mail
gives the official returns from about a dozen
counties in Oregon, showing that the vote
for member Of Congress is again very close.
The counties to hear from would favor the
election of the Democratic candidate it was
supposed. The returns TO the Legislature
render it quite certain that Gen. Lane and
Delazon Smith cannot be reelected to the
United States Senate, the Republicans and
Anti -Lecompton Democrats having dcci-
ded majority. The Chicago Press says:
An old citizen of Oregon, and a delegate
from that State to the Chicago Convention,
informs us that in his opinion, Mr.. Logan,
the Republican candidate for Congress
there, is elected. His belief is based upon
the thorough knowledge of the counties
which have not yet been heard from, and
of the kind Of work which has been done
there since the last election. He adds that
if the Legislature has been carried, as re-
ported, by the Republicans and Anti-Le-
compton Democrats, COL E. D. Baker,
formerly of this State, and more recently Of
California, will probably, be one of the new
Senators. The split in the Baltimore Con
vention, he says, will inevitably give the
electoral vote Of Oregon 10 Lincoln and
Hamlin.

GivIng it up-sensibIe Democrat.

The Eric Observer, one of the most in
telligent and influential Democratic papers
of Northern Pennsylvania, thus frankly ad-
mils the defeat of its party In November
is inevitable. The Observer says:
I'VE will not stultify ourselves-we will
not compromise the position of this Journal
by misleading its readers with vain and de-
lusive hopes, whom there is NO ROOM roR
HOPE. United we stand, divided we fall
is m aphorism which has never been con-
troverted either in theory or practice. Nc
political party divided can ssccesd. We
tried it in ls4s, and like result flowed
from like cause. And we are about to
enact over again in 1860 tho disastrous
campaign of 1s48. We know it is said
there is a silver lining in every cloud but
We apprehend it will take spy glass at
least four years long, to see = Silver lining
in the cloud that spans the political horizon
of the Democratic party at this time."

Is sufficient for our purpose in reply to
the many words in the Messenger and its
charges. We deny most positively that We
ever sdefrauded the county out Of twenty
dollars or even one cent. We never ala
any "hundreds Of dollars Of unnecessary
printing for the county" and certainly new
er got pay for it; therefore the county mover
lost from such transaction; and, however
much the Messenger may say on that point,
il cannot make the fact appear. tfttfi
As to the statement that we 'ta
were compelled by our friends TO resign the Oaee oi
postmaster for the commission Of unlawful acts such
opening letters removing wrappers Of letters passing
through the Office, and contrary to law removing enve
the mail" t .tt ta
We most unquali6edly say not one word
OF truth is contained in the assertion. Nc
matter to US where the editor heard the
charge, or who made it, Il is wholly and TO-
tally untrue. Whoever told such story
did it 10 impose upon him, or else he had
as little regard for truth and veracity as the
editor who would write it out and publish
il. We challenge any person to substanti-
ate an act Of that nature. Our resignation
of the post-ofice was owing to far differ
ent cause from that stated by the Msssen-
ger, and was in opposition TO the wishes Of
the leaders Of the Wing party here at that
time.
Various other inuendos and falsehoods are
contained in his sheet which are of too lit
tie consequence to specify and give promi-
nence to; they are wholly and singly man.
ufactured lies.
There is one thing however which we do
not deny, viz; Stating that the editor ofthe
Messenger did take $4,000 for the purpose
of furthering the success Of the Lecompton
or Kansas matter, which fact we find in bis
published testimony before the Covode
Committee. We condemned the act in
the most unequivocal terms, and still do so.
Looking upon the transaction as piece of
political strategy and dishonesty, we could
not see any feature in it which should meet
the approval of straight forward, consistent
politicians. 1t was one of numerous other
corruptions of the administration, as has
been abundantly shown, and as such only we
treated it. If Mr.. Bean can quiet his con-
science in pocketing the $4,000, he certain
ly can have no more compunctions by our
reference to it. The people will not forget
it, and he will see and hear from that S., 900
wherever he goes.
Our contest, the contest Of Republicans,
is against the present democratic party in
all its branches and rami6cations. 1t has
been proved to be corrupt, and the tax-pay-
ers Of the country, the voters, the people,
have Joined our standard with the intention
Of inaugurating a new state Of things
LINCOLN and HAMLIN are to be elected to
command the Ship Of State The home
government is to be sustained, and sham
Democracy routed even in Sandusky county.
If the editor Of the Messenger is deter
mined to wallow in filthiness and print in
every issue of his sheet that which honora-
ble men in this community know to be
false, let him go ahead, our course leads in
another direction.

twenty-five counties were represented. A
State Convention was called, to meet in
Columbus on the second Tuesday in Au-

ticket. 'n
Many of these delegates were elected to
the Douglas Convention, but declined to act
therein, after Judge HALL was spurned.

OblOE, W., July <ui AoOO'
Editor National Democrat:
One would naturally suppose from read
ing the Douglas papers of this and adjoin-
ing counties, that there was not democrat
left f ia ii SS;ststaassksyi Mem, this is grand
mistake. There is a goodly number yet in
old Sandusky, that will not bend the knee
to Bdal, nor throw up their hats and hur-
rah for men, regardless of principle. Only
give us an electoral ticket in Ohio for Breck-
enridge and Lane, and we will give good
account of ourselves this fall, not because it
is Breckenridge, but because their platform
embodies the true Democratic doctrine
We cannot be driven from the stronghold
of Democracy. Keep the truth before the
people-it will prevail. T.
From personal knowledge, we know there
arc some Breckenridge and Lane democrats
in Clyde, and there are also other townships
that can boast of few that will not "bend
the knee to Baal." Still it gives us great
cr satisfaction to state that the Lincoln and
Hamlin ticket is gaining strength in San
dusky County, every day of men who al
ways before voted the democratic ticket.

scarcely doubt that the Republicans have
been successful in the late contest in that

secure the election of one Republican and

-HucfannIi,n speech.
Washington, July 10.
In addition to those mentioned IN last
nights despatch as addressing the Brecken-
ridge meeting here, were Senators Brown
and Davis and Representative Florence. A
letter was read from d. s. Dickinson, say
ing he will support the nominations, not
only because be regards them MS personally
and politically worthy but because tho
nomination emanates from the States who
can give Democratic votes in the Electoral
College, and because they are therefore
representatives of the democracy and its
principles.
The President'sspeech last nigh was quite
long. He expressed his qualification at tho
nomination of Breckenridge and Lane. He
gave history Of the establishment Of tho
two-lhirds rule in the National Convention
which was in order 10 prevent the Anti
Democratic States nominating candidate
|dsa9reeable to those States which would
have to elect him. Neither Breckenridge
nor Douglas got regular two'thirds nom
ination, hence any Democrat was at liberty
to vote for either. The President then
went at some length into an argument, to-
show that each citizen Of any State, has.
the same right toproteetion to bis property
in the common Territories, with any citizen
Of any Of tbe other States. In conclusion,
the President said this was probably the
last political speech he should ever make
His position rendered it improper for him to
participate in the canvass, although his
heart was in ii. He spoke Of The long time
he had been acquainted with the City Of
Washington, and wished all its inhabitants
uninterrupted health and prosperity.
Mr.. Cobb, in some brief remarks, ex-
pressed confidence in the success of Breck-
enridge and Lane, and urged all good Dem
ocrats to labor zealously to that end Three.
hearty cheers were given for the President.
