EEae BEGINNING Of the Emd-~THae
Fate Of the secelers.
Now when the practical effects Of that in
sane and criminal proceeding -the secession
at Charleston and Baltimore-are being re-
allied in the defeat and overthrow of the Ma
tional Democracy at the North, the public
mind will be brought fully to understand
the issue before the country, and the mass
es Of the people viii bring home to them
selves the dreadful consequences which arc
likely to result from the disruption Of the
Democratic party. The question has al
ways been one Of Union or Dsunion, and
all the sophistry Of the secession organs and
speakers cannot now conceal the truth from
the public understanding. Tie shameless
inconsistency Of those who have precipitated
this ruin upon the country, and their bare
faced effrontery, will now be fully exposed
and understood. The friends ofJudge Doug
las have laborod hard to convince the peo-
pie of the danger in which they were placed,
and have sought by every means in their
power to bring the true issue involved in
the contest fairly before the people. Much
has been done towards dispelling the illu-
sion into which many Of the honest masses
were preoipitated by the leaders of the Sc
cession party. But argument and appeal
are no longer necessary. stubborn
and undeniabe facts-noW present thom-
selves, which must convince The masses that
all we have told them in regard to the dan
ger which is to be unprecedented from this
secession movement, will be in all proba-
bilty fully realized The President Of the
United States and the disunionists Of the
Cotton States, united in endeavoring to de-
feat the nomination Of candidate upon The
old platform Of the party, and succeeded IN
demoralizing and destroying the Democratic
organization and now after their work is
complete, after they have succeeded in Sc
curing breach in our ranks, which is grow
ing wider and wider, the people have the
practical results before them. The returns
OF the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and

admit of doubt, that our division has given
| the Black Republican party an immense ad-
vantage in the Presidential contest The
President, with increasing malignity, con-
tinues his war upon the Democratic party,
both North and South, and is doing all in
his power to secure its defeat. Look at the
returns from the North. The gallant De-
mocracy have just passed through contest
precisely similar to the Illinois contest in
1868. They have in raany districts nobly
sustained themselves against the Republican
and Administration coalition, and have
gained SIX OR seven members of Congress-
But in many districts, the aid which the Re-
publlcans have received from the Brock
inridge and Buchanan party, has enabled
them to increase their majorities, and the
State tickets have consequently been de-
feated' In almost every Northern State
the Democracy are fighting double foe
The Republicans, bold, defiant and united
as one man, at all times most formidable
enemy -aided by the desertion of frag-
ment OF the Democratic party, under the
control Of Buchanan and breckenridge,
through their army Of office holders and de-
pendonts-hayo everything to beck them on
to triumphant result. This is precisely a
repetition Of the Illinois contest Of '58-
the Democracy against the Republicans, the
latter aided by the whole power Of the Ad-
mlnlstration. Will the people Of the South
countenanoe and justify such Infamous con
duct? Douglas and the main army o.

IN a death struggle to defeat Lincoln, and

termlned resistance to Douglas and the De
mocraoys and aslng every effort to secure
