Nike Reasons for Refusing 10 Sup
port S. A. Douglas.

! Hon. w. ID. Morgan, editor Of
of The Newark, o., Advocate, formsi-
Ily Auditor Of the State, and for
many years one of the most in1I-
enlial Democrats in Ohio, gives nine
reasons for refusing 10 support Doug
las, as follows:
| l. He is not The candidate OF the
Democracy Of the whole United
States, but was nominated by. dis
rupted Convention whose elements
we're almost as sectional as those
Of the Convention Of Chicago,
which, as well rs the Douglas Oou-
vertion at Baltimore. contained
scattered delegates from several Of
1.-The slave States.
2. To vote for Judge Douglas in
Ohio, in his present condition IS n
half nominated candidate, would do
him no good; because after receiving
our vote he would still lack $4,000
Ito 100000 votes OF carrying the
electoral vote Of Oaio.
3. Because Judge Douglas being
AN Irregular candidate, and his
forced nomination being destitute of
any elgneut emitting 1t to respect,
therefore to vote lor him would be
to BECOME bis voluntary cndorSer.
4. Because We 5elioye Judge
Douglas leadership Of. the Demo-
cratic party. has been fekle, head.
strong, selfish and unsafe, aud has
brought upon the Democracy NUN
lberlass defeats that wise counsels and
tskiIIfnl geneIalship would have
avoided. -
5. Because Judge Douglas, ac-
tua,ed solely by considerations con
AnccteG with persond ambi,iQa, com
mencpd a war on the National Ad-
minislration Of the EtmJera,ic par
~. and combination between bin
self, Broderick, Foroey. Hickman,
Haskius, and the Back Republicans
in general, succeeded so lar in weak
ening its strength before the people
rs to throw the lower House ot COu-
eress Into the hands of Know Moth
iugs and Buck Republicans.
G. Because Forney, Haskins,
Morris, OF Illinois. and other enc

= 7. Because Judge Douglas, by
. ailiGg aud abetling in the neIariou'
attempt to persua lie the public mint
that Mr.. Buchanan and the cboseI
National Administration Of the Dem
oeraiie party sought to lasten slavery
Q on an unwilling people, has done
o more to manufacture recruits forth

been accomplished towards that enr
. by the whole Republican press Of tn

y o. Because to vote for Judg

e of. his friends at Charleston an
