Year: 1860

Ii is useless for the opponents OF Dorglas-the
Lincolnites and the Breckinridge boltcrs-to try
to disguise the fact that they have conspired to
defeat sir. Douglas, for everything published by
the organs of these factions, and all the speeches
made by the leaders of these fanatics go prove
that they have formed conspiracy, and that they
are st understanding as 10 the game tliat is TO
be PLAYED. The Breckinridge organ recently
started at lndianaI oils, the Old live Guard, is
now the Republican textbook, ani is quoted from
more extensively than any Of the most ably con-
duct.d opposition journals. The sentiments con-
tanned in its editorials endorsed TO great ex-
tent by the Editors Of the North. They rraise
Breckenridge, and in return Breckinridge's friends
sppaud Old Abe and so the work goes on
The boilers say that Douglas is not the "regular'
nominee Of the party, and the Republicans ape it
after them. and say the, give Democratic authority
for it. and then quote from the Old Line Guard
These disorganzars have the impudence 70 com
pare Douglas to Van Buren,, as though he was the
bolter and ssy that in four years he will be politi-
c.illy as dead Van Buren, has been since he bolt
ed the nomination Of Cass and Butler and they
claim that Breckinridse Is the regular nominee of
the party, when he is really the candidate of lot
Of bogus delegates and squad of boilers, snat-
les and avowed disunionists. They say they left
the party because lhey could not support the prin
ciples contained in the Charleston Platform. THIS
is simply untrue, and their actions prove it. If
they boted on account of principle, THEY
STAY IN THE CONVENTION AFTER THE PLAT
FORM WAS ADOPTED and vote for the MEN
of their choice FIFTY SEVEN times and when
they found they could not get those they wanted,
or rather, could not DEFEAT L Douglas, then they
manifested their love OF principle by BoLrISG -
All the principle they had at heart was the same
principle that the Republican party has been act
ing upon for some years past, namely-oPPosITIoS
TO DOUGLAS; and when they found they could not
defeat him IN the Convention, for the purpose of
carving out their principle they bolted, made n
nomination, formed a coalition with the Republi-
can party, and the member, of the new frn of
Greely, Yancy Co. now in full operation,
striving to carry out their great prineples-osposi
ton to the candidate of the people for the Presi
dency-Stephen A. Douglas. Democrats beware
of them and the dsorss nizing documents they
circulating. They would sooner see the
Union dissolved than Douglas elected President
of these United States.


We are glad to say that the Administration
Breckenridge Democrats in this county, do not
desire to have electoral ticket run in this State
for Brecsinridge and Lane, and they say very tru
w. that it would be suicidal and worse than useless
as there is no hope of giving the State to Breckin
ridge. ii there is Breckinrdge ticket gotten up
in this State then the matter will be fairly under
stood md acted upon. We entertain the hope
and belief that those who differ with the great
majority Of the Democratic party will not permit
themselves to be controlled by disappointed aspi-
rants who evidently trying to destroy the very
party that has given them the positions they
now hold, merely because the entire party will not
do their bidding.
