Senator Rice, Frank Steel, and some other
clared for Breckenridge and Lane. That will
help Douglas in Minnesota, but the Republicans
are strong enough to carry the State, notwith'
standing.-N. 7. Tribune. ~ .
The Tribune isright in saying that Rice's
detection will help Douglas, but decidedly
wrong in its statement of the strength of the
Republicans in Minnesota. Douglas will
carry Minnesota over both wings of the
sectionalists. .ys ".. e.
JOHN WENTWORTH is a queer fish. he
does not hesitate to expose the political &C.
crets of his friends. In his Democrat Of
Thursday, he gives the following account Of
the manner the Danites in Chicago were
enabled to fire salute over the Breckin-
ridge nomination: -..t t.4. /
The Republicans were telling the Danitea
and Office holders yesterday afternoon that they
ought to fire some guns in honor OF the nomc
nation of Breckinridge and Lane. But the Of
nee uOIueIs anu UhuIees, uAouSu P0AISo'.y
willing, could not do this, for want OF money
to buy the powder. Therefore the nat 'cG
carried around among the Republicans and soon
the cannon commenced roaring and the douglas
men commenced swearing. We advise our
Republican friends in every town to raise
little money to be given their Postmaster, in Or
der that he may usher in the glorious nomination
of Breckenridge and Lane amid the rear V
cannon. We do not like to see man deprived
of good spree because he happens to be the
only man in his party.
1t will be very easy thing for the antisla
cry men in Illinois to carry the State if they
can only keep up the organization Of the Dan.
ties and Office holders. The Republicans ought
to have DANTE employed at once to 60 into
party.
Col. FoRNEY comes out CALAMITY for
Douglas and johnson. he will support
the Democratic candidates by his personal
influence, and through his Press, during the
canvass. No man in Pennsylvania yields
greater influence than Col. Forney, and
bis advocacy of the good cause in that State
will secure for our candidates thousands of
votes which would otherwise have been cast
for Lincoln. The Press of the 25th, concludes
its article in support of Douglas as follows {:
The Press is the uncompromising foe of the
Disunion. Secession. Administrator party; the
foe of its candidates, of it's leaders. its organs
and its apolOgists, North or South. And the
strongest claim that Douglas has to the sym.
pathy of the American people is probably to
be found in the fact that he is the avOwed an.
tagonist of al enemies of this confederacy, and
NJ 10 in ho al tote W n
seek to make slavery the only test in Demo-
cratic politics, and eagerly accept every pre-.
text to endanger the existence of the Republic.
Our Washington correspondent tele-
graphs that Mr.. Buchanan's organ, the Con-
stitution, will probably expire soon as con-
sequence Of Congress having just cut the
price of public printing down 40 per cent.
If the Republicans had anticipated this we
think they would have been less fierce for
reforming this particular abuse. The Con-
stitation has been helping Lincoln steadily,
and, doubtless, would do so to the end.-N.
Y. Tribune.
The Dubuque Herald says the news of
the Douglas nomination was received at
Red Wing, Minnesota, on Sunday afternoon
at about 4 o'clock. Then commenced a
warm debate betwixt political enthusiasm
and respect for the Sabbath. The time
honored habits and religious proclivities in
herited from our puritan fathers, held the
wild joy of the moment at bay, until ten
o'clock at night, when it broke forth at last
unrestrained. Bon6res were lighted, can
mons were fred, and speeches made; not
outstanding there was smart shower fall
ing during great part of the time. This
gives but faint idea of the unparalleled
excitement, and hearty satisfaction with
which this nomination is received through
out Minnesota as far as heard from.
From Forney's Press.
A more sublime contest than that which
will take place from this date in the south.
ern states could not be desired by the sin-
cerest friends of the Union. Able men will
be on the side of the seceders, and more than
one gifted and misguided intellect will lend
himself to the dark plot of breaking up the
confederacy. But from the Potomac to the
NtuccS-lTOu Tic OulO " Tue UulI-olO-
quent and intrepid patriots will be enlisted
under the broad banner of the Union. We
shall look to Virginia to sound the keynote,
to Gov. Letcher and to Harris, and to Pry-
or, and hosts of others, to give the word to
the states born OF her loins, and following
the teachings Of her great leaders. Tennes-
see will be held true to her allegiance by
Geo. w. Jones, Andrew johnson, VIM. II.
Polk and J. Knox Walker. Louisiana
will be held by Soule, Morse and Governor
Wicklife Kentucky by John G. Mason
Georgia by Alex. H. Stevens, and Herschel
V. johnson Alabama by Forsyth and
Houston; Arkansas by Rust !; Missouri by
Krum, and Clairborne, and King; and
Maryland by Reverdy Johnson, Henry May
and r. 81. Brent. This is a glorious array
to begin with; and we predict that their
ranks will swell into an army that will
sweep the enemies of the Union into an
abyss from which there will be no resurrec-
ton. The contest in the free states will be
nothing to this. The battle aUiN haze to be
decided in the South. For the first time
since the days of jackson, the standard of
