by a violation of the usages of the Demo- a

above alluded to, 12 from Ohio, and9from In- p

Suck are spe':imen.remairks the ('onitinttiea,
of the opinions that Douglas men at the North
entertain towards the Democratic party now
in the death-struggle for the Con'titutin and
the I'nion. What Is the issue in which the
Ohio Douglas Drtnoert prefers Lincoln to
Breckinridge, and between whom Mr. Rich
ardson is indifferent: Seward has lately pro.
claimed it in Bost n. It is tAe Ilt lattle is
the irrepressible conflet between freedom and
salkary-the elect io of LiL,ol is the downfall
of Bleery. Lan antle Democrat hesitate or
be indifferent it nob a contest? We think
not, and many whose sympathies have been
led away for the moment will before the elec
tion conclude.with isr cotemperary of the
.Vincennes (Inad.) Srin: " If the Breckinridge
candidates are to be beaten by only such means,
for God's sake let them wear the victory."
They are Igting forthe Constitution and the
Union, and it is so-time to assist the enemy,
either by indifference or treason.

very amusing article explanatory of the causes
which produced it. We make the following
extract :
The elilpse Ts formed by a total darkness of

so tercely as it does In summfr, and hence the
weather is not so warm in Dember as it is in
July. If tbe reader will, b y of expel
