, Of Mr.. Douglas, who offered tn
nomination for Vice President to MI
, Yancey, publishes a card in whicl
he confesscs that he did make tia

1t cannot be denied, that the wlivl,

The Oregon Fusion.

The people oi Oregon have giver
an indisputablc indication that they
see some affinity between the Re
pu5licans and the Douglas party -
We have been for u long time, en-
deavoring to hammer this same idea
into tho heads Of the Republican
journalists on this side OF tho II )ck y
Mountains, and with but little ef.
feet. Although We diSapprove Of a
fusion under almost any circum
stances, there is, perhaps, more just
llication for the one between the
Douglasi,es and the Republicans
than there could be between any
two OF the other parties engaged in
the present contest. Our views
have already been expressed as ,o
the practical tendency, and indeed
inevitable result OF tho enforcement
ofthe doctrines ofsquatter sovereign.
ty to accomplish the selfsame end
which is sought to be brought about
by tho Republican party. A fusion,
therefore, between the Douglas and
the Republican parties is perfectly
natural, and our only astonishmen,
ID that the Douglas men, seeing the
utter hopelessness of their cause,
have not generally united with the
Republicans, as they have done in
Oregon completely, and partially in
Pennsylvania.
The Oregon fusion has resulted in
Il very satisfactory event, namely,
tho election OF two United States
Senators who, in the Senate, will
contribute to the support OF Mr.
Lincoln's administration. Me-. Ncs.

The "Squatters" held their State Con-
vention yesterday (4th) at Columbus, and
for the nominations we refer 10 Telegraph
column. Among the interesting incidents
was the introduction, by Ex-Member of
Congress Hall of the Bucyrus district, OF
a resolution saying, that although men
should vote the Breckenridge and Lane
ticket, they should still be considered
Democrats.
The resolution was hooted out of the
Convention as irregular, and thereupon the
framer TO make it regular, moved that the
Committee on Resolutions, be instructed
to report such resolution, but this was
booted out of the house. Thereupon Mr..
Hall seeded.
In the course of some remarks by an
other delegate, that delegate took the lib
erty of saying that, although he felt bound
to go the Squatter ticket, he still had an
affection for the National ticket. The cry
was raised, "Hustle him out" and sure
enough out be went.
The Nationals held their meeting at the
Neil House, where from sixty to hundred
of the wheel horses of Ohio Democracy
assembled. An Executive Committee was
appointed, of which Judge Matthew Bur-
chard, of Trumbull county is chairman
That Committee will issue an address 10
the Democracy of the State. and will also
call State Convention of Nationals.
There were accessions to the Nationals
meeting by number who, with Hall and
the delegate who had an affection for the
Breckenridge and Lane ticket, seeded from
the Squatter Convention.

No CoALrTroN.-There has been an attempt
made in several of the Northern States to form
a coalition or fusion between the two wings Of
the Democracy, but the proposition is openly
and defantly rejected by the Douglasites. They
are determined to fight the battle out separate.
ly, and if they fail, to insure the same fate for
Mr.. Breckenridge. Overtures and suggestions
have been rendered them during the last few
days, but none have been accepted or even enter
tanned. The effect ofany such compromise wound
be the immediate abandonment of Mr. Douglas
at the South, and the concentration of his intiu-
enee in the close States for the benefit of his ri
vai and, failing in that to carry the election in
to the House, and ultimately to the Senate for
Mr. Lane. Mr.. Douglas is not quite ready to
sacrifice himself for the benefit of the enemies
who prosecuted him and broke up the Conven-
ton. His charity is not SO comprehensive.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

The Portsmouth (o.) Times, an able Demo-
cratic Journal has been discontir ued. its editor,
Mr.. W. c. Hood, having become discouraged at
the present condition of the Democratic party.
He says in his valedictory:-"It is really painful
to be daily and hourly forced to contemplate the
distracted state of our national politics. 1 have
no relish for, no wish to participate in. the sort
of campaign that is right before Us. hope
never to be indifferent to the welfare of my coun
try, but times like the present remind me but
too plainly that "the post of honor is the pri-
vate station
A Breckenridge and Lane electoral ticket will
be started in Iowa. Hon. Laurel Summers, OF
LIE Claire, leading Democrat, is out for Breck-
enridge and Lane.
In Missouri, both wings of the Democracy
will nominate tickets for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor. This split will probably give
the State to the Americans, who are preparing
for a vigorous campaign.
The Chicago Journal gets off the following
political conundrum:
Why is a Democrat who is alarmed at the
strength of the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, like a small boy who breads being taught
the Alphabet
Because he is afraid of the Abe he sees "a B
Cs.)
And the Salem Republican perpetrates the fol-
lowing "Split versus Split"
"Abe and his rails" o, worse than idle tale
We Democrats canIay you on the shelf;
Boast of a who's only split a rail.
Our good old partys gone and SPLIT ITSELF!
There is some talk about getting up grand
national mass convention of the Douglasites to
be holden in Cincinnati.
Four of the Democratic papers in New Hamp-
shire will'support Breckenridge, to wit: Th6
Portsmouth Gazettc, the Dover Sentinel, the Con-
cord Standard, and the Manchester Democrat
