The douglas RevoIutIon.

From the Albany Atlas and Argus1
The movement in favor of Judge Douglas
has already assumed the proportions of a pop
ular revolution. 1t Is no longer in the hands of
politicians; but the people have taken hold of
il and are pushing it forward with g vigor and
impulse that will break down all party lines.
The times are suspicious for such q revolu-
ton. The Republican party demoralized by
its congressional and State Legislative corrup-
tons, and torn by internal jealousies and r.
%valries, has been compelled to abandon its
Chief and to take up an unknown and unde-
serving leader and is at a dead pause as to
what it shall do next The conviction that
even this sacrifice will not save il, and that in
no erent can lincoln be elected, parlyzes il. -
kThe Bell and Everett party at the North
has no principle TO appeal 10, but the love Of
all Americans Tor the Union of the States.
They know the Republicans to be the enemies
of the Union. Their instincts, their interests,
their judgments, point TO Douglas as the man
for the crisis. Radical Democrats who went
over to Fremont in 1856; and Republicans
wearied with slavery agitation, and who see
in the theory OF non-intervention the only way
of getting rid of it, are gathering to the stans
dard of Douglas.
No d~elusic,n is greater than that in regard
to the comparative strength of parties in 1866.
Take, for irrstance, States which, casting a
majority Of the Northern vote, may be regard
ed as powerful enough to decide the questitn
of +ha Presidency.
Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1860-07-30

In these States, Buchanan was ahead in
1856, on the popular votes; and counting the
votes east for Fillmore, Fremont was one third
of a million behind. Yet ont of these 1876
votes, Buchan an got but 90, and Fillmore
none.
1t will be seen how easily these elements
can be comhined to give the popular will a
truer expression now. Lincoln has none of
the strength of FIR emont He has no Jessie
to attract sympathy and disarm r~esentments,
no romantic career TO excite interest His
nomination was q cheat, his candidacy usurp-
alton, his platform is disunionl
We cannot speak of the South; but the in
dications of the populir uprising there are
showing themselves, a nd If the contest is be-
tween secessionists and the lovers of the I'm
ion, the former will go IA the wall. Tn peo-
pie of the South are treti OF the tyranny OF
clustering politicians. They never were more
prosperous. What they W ant is peace. They
love the Union, and il nece ssary will fight for
il.
We repeat this is a Revolution; and they
who mistake its import and its proportions and
its destiny, are blind to the sig ms of the times.
As to New York, we have no hesitation in
saving that her patriotic and Union-loving
masses will lead the procession OF the Douglas
States. Her thirty-ive votes are TO be cast for
Douglas in the Electoral College as surely and
as effec lively as they we're cast in the nomi-
mating convention. Never was popular en-
thusiasr q greater. Never before were such ac-
c~essious Of men in masses to the cause of non
interven ton. 1t is a great and attractive
cause. 1t is like the doctrine of federation in
religious matters; the intellect and the con-
sciences of all except bigots approve it.
1t Civ, IS TO communities what it has beenthe
struggle of centuries to secure for the private
citizen, i Individual liberty and Independence
in matter 8 Of conscience and Of personal ac-
ton. 1t does not add one bondsman more to
the catalt ,gue of slaves; but it emancipates
from unn eeessary tutelage our territorial gov
ernments, and s%ilences an agitation in the
States and in Congress which has only been
fraught wi tn evil. 1t is this that is attracting
the masses to Douglas; and at every threat of
disunion, md at every menace of Abolition,
they gather in larger numbers and with more
~resolute he, lrtR
Make wa ' then for the Revolution or fall in
with i'll 1t will sweep over those who stand
idle, and crush those who resist it,

A Powerful Accession to the De-


John G. Marshall Esq, well known in this
county as one of the Rblest lawyers in South
ern Ohio, and, heretofore always acting with
the Opposition, made a speech at the Demo
cratic Ratification Meeting here last Satur-
day, in which he declared himself wholly and
unequivoeally for Douglas. His speech is
spoken OF on all hands, as a most eloquent
and incontroyertible effort We do not believe
the Democracy of Brown county have ever be-
fore had to congratulate themselves upon the
accession Of so much influence and talent di-
rectly from the ranks ofthe Opposition, as Mr..
Marshall brings with him. Mr.. Marshalrs
course will influence hundreds Of others who
have hitherto called themselves Conservative
Republicans, but who will now vote and work
for the Democratic candidate most heartily.
Indeed, Mr.. MarshalPs position is that by
every principle Of honor, good faith and pa
triotism they are bound 10 do so. And the
arguments which he brings forward to sustain
this position, are absolutely overwhelming
pointing some of them to their own personal
declarations. Our readers however, will have
