COMPLIMENT TO MR.. DOUGLAS
FROM AN OPPOSITION COTEM-
PORARY. 6@

Our eotemporary of the Cincinnati
Times which is warmly opposed political
ly to Mr.. DOUGLAS, admires his courage,
and thus compliments him in that particn-
lar in its issue of the 10th. It says:
at is two years since this sage advice
was given, and Mr.. Buchanan has dis,
covered that there are exceptions to all
general rules-at least to the rule he laid
down for Mr., Haskin--for has not the

In the South, the Breckenridge party,
many of them, are openly and honestly in
favor of dissolution Of the Union. 1t
is an easy matter for Yancey to calculate
the advantages aud disadvantages of the
Union in such a way as to convince the
cotton growers that it is to their interest,
pecuniarily, to secede. In separate
confederacy they could pass laws protect
ing their peculiar interests, which must
now, to some extent be sacrificed for the
benefit of conflicting interests elsewhere.
s But the greatest danger of dissolution
arises out of the hostile feeling which is
being cultivated in the one section toward
the other. The Republicans in the North
nurse and foster feeling of hatred to,
ward the South, and the Breckinridge par
ty heartily reciprocates the feeling. In
either section the feeling is far more in
tensely hostile toward the other than it is
toward any foreign country; and many in
both sections wear the bond of union un.
easily. i.
On the middle ground between these
hostile factions, faithfully and patriotically
laboring to produce better feeling, and
to reconcile the differences stands the
Douglas party. They denounce and abuse
the Douglas party because it is the only
barrier to their hopes. 1t alone prevents
the Northern fanatics from becoming pos
sessed of the power TO drive the Southern
6re.eaters from the Union. The Southern
disunionists have not the strength to drive
out the North, and they can accomplish
their designs only by aiding the RepubIi-
cans. This they do in the most effective
manner possible by dividing the Demo.
cratic party, and thus weakening the force
with which it opposes the sectional war
fare -js sfs Il sesl5l, ,.-,,t,
The factions fight against Douglas with
equal energy, ard it seems as if they had
wholly forgotten their hostility toward
each other in their efforts to break down
the only certain barrier to their hopes.
We hope and believe that the honest
and intelligent union loving men will not
be found joining either faction, but will do
the part of patriots by aiding to drive
back fanaticism both North and South.

The Republicans veracify.

We copy the following extracts from the
Republicans, as few specimens of its
truthfnlness. Speaking Of the Democratic
State Convention, it says:
"After this they resolved that the saints
shall inherit the earth. Resolved that we
ARE the saints" at-r4a
1t says in the same article:
'The convention resolved that they
could cordially ratify the nominations OF
the rump convention at Baltimore, where
upon some ffty-two delegates. including
the majority, we believe, of the Belmont
delegation, withdrew 5a
OF our County Convention, it says:
"We neglected in our last issue to give
the proceedings of the meeting called by
our Democratic friends to ratify the ticket
already "cut and dried" by the Woodsfeld
clique" ~ ,.s.g3t.r -. -

There are dozer others of the same
kind, but we give enough to show what
kind of sheet the little concern is. ANY
man who will read few numbers Of il
will not require any proof that its asser
tions are not true. If it continues thi!
disreputable course we shall treat it &C
cordingly.

Organization OF. the County.

. '~e.a
We published last week the proceedings
of the central committee. but had no room
for comment. We consider the plan of
organization adopted one of the most efi-
cient that could be devised. The object
of the Organization of course is to get the
Democracy to turn ont at the election,
and if the townshi 6pnmittees will be ae.
tive and do their duties as we believe they
will, Monroe will as certainly give two
thousand majority as the sun rises on the
day of election.
We re-publish the resolutions adopted
by the committee, together with the list
of ofcommitteemenin in the several townships:
Resolred. That an Executive Council be ap-
pointed by this meeting, whose duty it shall
be to procure speakers for the Township meet
ings, to obtain and distribute documents and
to discharge such other duties as may be from
time to time required Of them by this commit
tee or by the chairman of the committee.
Resolred, That an Executive Committee be
appointed by this meeting for each township,
to act in conjunction with the Central Commit
teeman in eaeh township, to effect a thorough
organization Of the county.
Rcsolped, That it shall be the duty of said
Executive Committee to appoint one or more
reliable democrats in each school district to
effect thorough organization in their district,
by clubs or in such other manner as they
deem proper.
Resolved, That it shall be the duty. of the
said Executive Committee to orgenize Douglas
and johnson club in each township, to appoint
a time for meetings, with authority to call on
the Executive Council for speakers.

ed as the township committees:

it is indisputable. Against this senti-

his Farewell Address to the people whom

told them Indignantly to frown upon the
first dawning Of every attempt to array
one section of this Union against another.
But Notwithstanding the earnest warnings
of those who framed our government, not
withdrawing they pointed out precisely
the causes which would bring about dis
union. we find now large portion of the
voters in this country arrayed in sectional
parties. ~
In the North the Abolition party is
openly in favor Of dissolution. The Re-
publican party, though not openly avow-
ing disuniona sentiments, many Of them
know that the line Of policy pursued by
them will lead to dissolution, or that, at
least there isvery great danger that it will
bring, about such . result. =. (.
