whence 1t comes.
The Constitutional Union portion of the
party to this fusion passed 4 resolution en-
dorsing President Lincoln without reserve.
The Democratic wing "re;sserted the time
honored doctrines of the Democratic party"
If any person knows what the latter are, he
understands the position Of the Rhode Island
Democracy at the coming election This 1usion
cost the parties about four weeks Of work and
worry, and still We hope and believe that their
labors will come to nouEht.
The New Southern Loan.
The Charleston correspondent Of the Proyi-
dence Journal says the new Southern loan does
not prosper in that city. Every brokers Office
has posted consp1cuou :1y the notice Of the loan
in shares Of $50, 500 and $500 each, and calls
upon al citizens to embark in the safe, profit
able and patriotic investment. But whether
from doubts Of its safety, want Of faith in its
proftablenes;, or Lack Of patriotism, certain
it is that very little money has been invested
in the stock, and very little interest manifested
in 1t by the citizens.

well Us It's own through railway. and thus
commands the oniy other avenue to the sea-
board from the great Lakes, through Pennsyl-
wanna, besides. the New York canals and rail-
Ioads. Produce shipped at Chicago or Mil
waukce sby vessel ON the lakes, may be
transhipped at Cleveland, and sent thence to
-fh1iadelphIa, Of less cost than It could be con-
veyed to New York. Our tacilitis here for the
shipment Of grain are ample, aud may be in
creased to any extent. AL the grain passing
through Chicago and Ahlwaukee, grsat Us that
quantity Is, can be disposed Of here, and hence
there Is no reason in the world why it should
not be done. The distance to Philade1phia is
much less than to New York BY any route.

ward us on the part Of the people Of Chicago,
