authorized by the uSagts Of the party. such Old
fashioned ID. mocrats should remember that the
head Of the organization, the o. L. F., at Wash
ippton has decided that there are no regular pres
dentia candidates in the field; that large num-
Der of the delegates that nominated DougIas were
boou,: that Breckenridge had not even seeming
two thirds vote; that Johnson is not the offspring
of suy Convention at all, but the mere founding
of an illicit Committee. The principals having
been irregusIly constituted, it is not vice to be
over captous about the mode In which the .subor-
diuate agents are selected. The Presidential can
didates having been nominated by disordery
mob the Electors may appropriately be named by

a Committee.

How would the new fusion work Quite as

every name on the ballot had been his undisguised

piebald ticket, been attempted then the real and

there being no " Union ticket in nomination. the

But, another type of citizens, whose fitting rep

In the light of these facts, we urge that Brock

Lincoln's majority in this State The DOugasites
not the leaders merely, but the masses-hate the
Breckinridgers. They regard the conduct of the
latter, at Charleston and Baltimore, refusing to
submit to the majority as factiOus, as intended to
disrupt the party and as cruel attempt to crush
| out the Little Giant On the other hand, the fol-
lowers Of Breckenridge detest Douglas with an in
tensity which nothing but his utter destruction can
appease. They declare that, but for the pertinacy

party could have united upon some such candidate
as Hunter or Dickinson or even Breckenridge, and
presented an unbroken front to the foe They treat

upon breaking up it's organization, while he drives
the South to the wall Snd compels it to ultimately
vndicate its rights by force, and then threatens to
hang its champions for maintaining theie position.
BY all means We say, then, let the inaammable
Douelasites fuse with fre-eating Breckinridgers.

the SOitS would doubtless cheat the Hards as they
have already swiDdled the HOntites But the
Hards have got used to this. A faction that has
been hayed SO often ought not to shrink from the
knife in an exigency like this. No matter if some
body has said that he that cheated once, may be
