Keening their Courage Ul.

The San Francisco Herald Is ehTtHed u!
the arluous task of IN; king the people OF
this State believe the Conness Ticket has a
chance to be elected a few days since It
held for;h as follows:
"Inls iyenre reaches US that members OF
the late Breckenridge party are h"kihE 10
the standard Of the Union Democracy.
Opposed to Repubicani>m AS they are, they
are not willing to throS their votes away
upon the 'tolorn hope" of the Mcconnell
Republican ticket Desiring peace rs they
do. thew know full well that no peace can be
effected on tel,ns that will secure justice to
all sections, outside the instruinentality OF

In this county there are scores of the Doug.
las men will, u,, aud our intnrua:ion is that
they are quite ll.i,ls in other portions of the

We are inclined to think that the editor of
the Herald is really appri~ed OF the true
state Of affairs; bul resorts to tins eXpedi
eut to elevate the dr""ping spirits Of Us
parlisans, and keep them from dlsban"ing
and entering the ranks of the Democracy
