The FoRGETFUL CANnIDATE-Mr McCon-
nell ought to be called the forgetful cand-
date for Governor. Charged with having
said that he would go with Kentucky, and
that he believed she would secede, he tells us
by way of explanation, that he does not know
whether he said SO or not If he had never
entertained such sentiments upon the great
question of the day. what risk would he have
run by denying the charge? How could he
ever have said such thing lift was not in
his heart? The people all know that the
Davis sympathizers here DO say that they 90
with their respective States, and that Califor-
MIA is not their State; nor do they, as a gen
eral thing, pretend that it is, except in news
paper articles, and stump speeches, intended
to deceive the people. We all know that
Secessionists from slaveholding States which
have not seeded, are very ready to predict
that their States will soon "go out" We are
pleased with being able to assure Mr.. Me-
Connell that he did say what we have befor
reported him cs saying viz: "As goes Ken
lucky, so will go, and as sure as we stand
here. Kentucky will be out of the Union in
two weeks" We also beg leave to assure
Mr. Mcconnell that on Tuesday evening he
informed his audience that he did not know
whether he had or had not used the language
attributed to him. He did not deny having
used it. We mention this for fear that Mr..
Mcconnell may, in his extreme forgetfulness,
forget his explanation"

The Dixie Democracy met here to-day and

affirming support of the Breckenridge Balti-
more platform; also in favor of the preserva-
tion of the Union, and the duty of the Terri

States has been guilty Of violation of the

The OBJECT OF THE WAR-OPINIoS OF A
DEMOCRATIC LEADER.-On the l1th of July.
when the Army bill was under consideration
in the U. S. House of Representatives, MI.
Vallandlngham offered proviso to the bill,
that no part of the money appropriated
should be used for the employment of force
for the purpose of suhjugating any States
and holding them as conquered provinces,
nor for interfering with African Slavery in
any State. His object was to dismiss from
the minds of any who might misunderstood
the purposes of the war, that it was carried
on for these objects.
Mr. McClernand saw no necessity for the
amendment. He had never heard any re-
sponsibe man say that the objects Of the war
were to subjugate the Seeded States, and
hold them as conquered provinces, the war
was carried on to rindicate the Federal au-
MOrity
Mr.. Vallandngham amendment was re-
jected.
Mr.. McClernand, q Democratic member
from Illinois, is one of the men who always
fought side by side with Judge Douglas, as
his personal and political fiend.

galows of its victim by committing suicide.
The weapon used was piece oe tin or sheet
iron, which he had torn from the floor Of his
cell. With this barbarous instrument he
succeeded in infiicting deep cash across his
throat, as well as a serious wound in his left
