The Republican press are very much

The Republican press are very much
troubled at many occasions which the PEG.
pie are giving to Judge Douglas to address
them. They think that he is lowering the
dignities of the office for which he is rum
ming. BY opening his mouth until the cam.
pai6n is over. They hold up the exam
pie of Lincoln as one eminently 6t to be
followed. The Quincy Herald tells the
reason why Lincoln has had sc little to say:
II Lincoln hasn't made any speeches
Stree he became a candidate for President.
it's because his friends were afaid to les
him expose himself. They got him out
last Wednesday, at Springfield. and he
made a miserable failuie--he attempted
to make speech. and literally izzled out.
His own friends are ashamed Of the abor
ton that came from him in the name of a
speech. The friend Of Judge Dougla. are
no, thus Inundated. They know him to
be a stateman of cor"manding intellect. and
of broad, conservative, national principles,
and they know there's no sort Of danger
Of his making an ass Of himself. as Lincoln
would if he were turned loose few days

DIhocKArs, OF UNIoy TowSsrIr-We say to
you that you need not be lulled into security on
account Of the Republican Club of your township
disbanding. They understand themselves and
have adopted the skulking method, instead of an
open and manful advocacy of their sectional prn-
ciples. Be not deceived. Do your duty and all
will be well but if you neglect it be assured that
in proportion to your neglect. your majority will
be reduced. So far you have done good work,
and if you continue, you will redeem Union this
fall and have the extreme qualification of sending
up largely increased majority.
