The Douglas Democracy of the Co lumbus District are in the midst of an "irrepressible conflict," which promises to be of service to the country, by. de feating some of the unscrflpulous leaders. It is known to everybody that while the i "English Swindle" was before Congress, i Douglas opposed it by his speeches and j votes in the Senate, while Cox and Mar- i tin, and all the other Douglas men in ! the House, from Ohio, after opposing it fiercely, suddenly caved in, and voted for it. Cox is renominated for Congress by the Douglas party. But Gen. Gei ger, and other real Douglas men, won't support him, in consequence of his vote for that bill. " Thereupon Cox comes out and publicly declares that he changed his course, and voted for the swindle, at tkt earnest personal solicitatidn of Doug fos himself! Geiger says that, "either Cwx is the basest of all liars, or that Douglas is the vilest of all hypocrites." A good many people believe that by changing the "or" to "and," in the above sentence, it would express the exact truth, - Rut Goigcr professes to believe - that Cox lies on Doug las, and therefore he opposes Cox's elec tion. What "thc facts may b6, as be tween Cox t arid Douglas, we do not know. Cox's tory has the sustaining help of circumstances. Let us. examine it. - -- - - : ' . - : Douglas had his eye upon, the Presi dency. Without the 3tc of the entire South he had no hope of success. The South,' therefore, must be propitiated. -Nothing but the passage of the English Rill i could . do that. Rut the South could not make. Douglas President with out he could carry Illinois; and he could not carry Illinois if he voted for the RBI. Rut there were Democrats enough in. the Senate to put 5t through that body 'without the. vote of ;Douglas. Dooglas might, therefore,- vote against the Rill without endangering its passage through the Senate. JLwould thus secure the vote of Illinois, ou the, ground of hi&voppositioa to the RilL' Rut it could riot pass the House without the votes, of Cox, Martin, and the other Douglas men in that body.- If, there fore, Douglas could induce his special friends, in the House,-where their votes wctc needed, to vote for the swindle, it would, as he supposed,' secure the South; while, he,-by voting against it in tlie Senate, where his vote was not needed, could save Illinois. Such are the cir cumstances which surrounded the par ties at the time. - And it will be seen at once that Douglas had the strongest of all - motives, except " honesty, to vote against the Rill, in the Senate, and in duce .his friends to vote for it in the House. . .A mere, trickster woutd do so. It is just the double game that an un scrupulous demagogue would play, lie do not say that Douglas played this des perate game; but Cox, lis special friend, did vote for the, abomination, and now, to Save himself ' from the indignation of his friends, declares that he did so at the solicitation of Douglas! We admit, with Gen. Geiger, that it places the parties in the humiliating position he describes. Cox voted for the Rill, after opposing it with the utmost earnestness, as "an utter abomination." ILj now says that he did so only at the earnest solicitation of Rouglas. ..There is no -escape from the charge of Gen. Geiger -Either Cox is a most unmitigated liar, and slanders Douglas,' whose friend arid supporter he is, or Douglas is the most irredeemable hypocrite unhung, who would sacrifice his country and his friends in his des perate efforts to reach the Presidency. How will they settle the matter? Which shall be sacrificed?, " It is a family quar rel in which we feel no very great inter est.' Rut while we have very little con fidence, in Cox, and would not place much ' reliance on his uncorroborated word, "we must say that the circum stances sustain him. The intestine war, however, is a fierce one, and the Doug las men are placed in a very embarrass ing position' Cox is the Douglas can didate fox. Congress: - A vote for him brands Douglas as a hypocritical dema ffosue,' while a refusal to do so brands Cox as a liar. In this interesting posi tion we leave our Douglas Democracy of the central District to find their way out ofjj the dilemma as they best" may. . In the meantime, we begin to hope that an honorable man may take his place in the next Congress. : r Junius Tilden, of Monroe County, Michigan, one of the ablest lawyers of that. State, and a life-long Democrat, is out for Lincoln and Hamlin. So they go. Michigan will give as large a ma jority for Lincoln, in proportion to her vfrte, as any other State in the Union. Cass, carried the vote of Michigan in hi9 pocket frcrta the time she became a State -until the days of Kansas frauds and Lecompton swindles. Now he could not be elected to the meanest of fice in the State. Settled chiefly from New England, the people are intelligent and enterprising, and.forined a first rate field for the growth of Republicanism The seed was sown, and the crop 13 mag uifieent. Bga-Refore the meeting of the Demo cratic Convention of this District, the Democratic Sentinel, the organ of the party in Perry County, opposing the uauiination of Martin, said: "Martin cannot get the vote, of this count. Tlie Democracy here arc opposed tv giving their support to a man tcho has no claitus tepon the district, and cho does not merit any favors., ll'AuV the vse of nominatiiH Martin: lie icoidd not dc sire it if&e hneio that certain, sure and in evitcrtUe defeat, looked him in the face." - We dc net know whether the Sentinel supports Marti or riot, as we do not ex change.; , .Sut we- would suggest to , the editor, "wliatrs the- nse of supporting him when sure and ' inevitable defeat looks him in-the face?" . . SAM HOUSTON IN KEW TOBK. The Houston party of New York have just nominated a full electoral ticket, for Sam Houston, of f Texas, for President, -and Commodore R. F. Stock ton, of New Jersey, for Vice President. The Committee have also published an address urging tlie people to rally to this ticket, as the anchor of hope and safety of the country. If those opposed to the Republican party cannot find a candidate to their taste among all the factions now in the field, we trust they will persevere in getting up new ones until all classes are satisfied. There are now, opposed to Lincoln. First; the Rell and Everett party proper. This party will receive a respectable vote in' most of the Slave States, and will, we think, carry a num ber of them. It has no real strength in the Free States, and is only engineered by the Douglas men with the hope of drawing votes from Lincoln. This it will do to some extent, but not enough to effect the final result. Second: The Douglas party, proper. This party will get a respectable vote in the Free States, but not suflicicnt, we think, to carry any one of them, or even to defeat .Lincoln in any pf them, as seems to be the common object and only hope of all of these parties. Third: The Rrcckinridge party proper. : This party will get a strpngvote in the South, and will carry all . the ultra, disunion, Democratic States, and . all . the,. Slave States which do not vote for Bell, except Texas. Fourth: The Houston 1 party proper. This party, will carry, Texas, but no other: State. In many . of the States we presume there will hardly be an electoral ticket formed. , Fifth: The Ultra Abolition party. This party has not yet made its nominations, but will probably nominate Gerritt Smith of New York. . Mr. Smith has written a letter deprecating the , election of Lin coln, but whether his friends will run a separate ticket,, or vote for some of those already in opposition to Lincoln, we arc not advised. .We presume they will have a ticket of their own. 'Sixth: A movement is on foot to brincr out Judge Taney, on his Dred. Scott Decis ion. Rut this scheme we do not; think will be seriously prosecuted. , . - AH. these parties are actuated by a common impulse. . None of them have the remotest chance of an election -by the people, but, as it requires a majority of all the electoral vote to elect the President, it is hoped by the leaders of these -parties Uhat by. possibility they may prevent Lincoln's receiving a ma jority over all the opposing parties, and by that means throw the election, in Congress where bribery and; corrup tion may be relied upon to defeat' the will of the people. But, as the prospect ot Lincoln s election grows clearer' every day, the leaders of the factions become more desperate, and are nowforming coalitions with the forlorn-hope Hof thus defeating him. Hence in some States the Doug las and Bell .parties have amalgamated, and are running a mongrel ticket. In others the Rell and Rreckinridge parties have coalesced, and in Pennsylvania the Douglas and Rreckinridge leaders have combined their forces, while the engi neers of all the factions in New York are trying to patch tip a bargain which shall bring the Irish Catholics and pre scriptive i: Know Nothings -the ; Slave Code Rreckinrklsrers and the radical Abo litionistthe Hnuker and Rarnburner the old line Whig and soft shell Demo crat the Calhoun free trader and the Clay protectionist "black spirits and white, blue spirits arid " grey" W fuse and mingle in one discordant riiass of po litical corruption for the defeat of the people and the securing of the spoils. The lncans thus resorted to show -at once the admitted strength of the Repub lican party, and the weakness and utter demoralization of its opponents. In the midst of this confusion and discord? the people, " conscious '" of -their power, are moving straightforward to the cbnsunir mation of their purpose the triumphant election- Pf Lincoln and Hamlin in No vember next.: We do not believe it is in the power of intrigue, corruption, co alition, bargain arid sale, fusion or con fusion, to prevent the auspicious result. B,The factions in Illinois have be come perfectly alarmed at Jhe, daily ac cession to the ranks of the Republicans of that State.7 It has become manifest that neither of the parties stand the slightest . chance of carrying th e ; State against Lincoln, and . the leaders are moving heaven and earth to secure a coalition of all the factions, in the vain hope of thereby accomplishing his defeat. For that purpose it is proposed to call off all the electors now nominated, and form a new amalgamation ticket com posed of five Douglas men, four Rreck inridge men, and. two Bell men. It is admitted by all the leaders that without this coalition Lincoln will sweep the State by, a very large plurality. The very proposition to unite all the factions against him shows their consciousness of utter weakness, and proclaims their ut ter corruption as well. The object of all is to prevent an election of President by the people," And for this, purpose the Slave Codeitc and Squatter Soverign the Dark Lantern Know Nothing and Irish Catholie the Free Lover, and de votee of any and every ism, are ready to amalgamate into one grand conglomerate of seething prostitution to defeat the will of the people, that political gamblers may scramble for the spoils. But it won't win.. : Lincoln will sweep the State in spite of all the combinations which demagogues can form against him. The very desperation of the means resorted to is opening the eyes of hundreds, and making his election by the popular vote an absolute Certainty.' Let the fusion take place by all means. We' should like to see ar fair fight, and have no misgivings' as to the result. The tri umph will be the more signal, and the victory the more complete.' ' '-; -'- Doiigla In Virginia. Ex-Gov. Foot of Mississippi, the cel ebrated Know Nothing, undertook to make a Douglas speech at Richmond. Va., a few days since, but had a very hard time of it. j The Breckinridgers interrupted him, audiarinoyed hiriWin sundry ways, but especially by asking him unpleasant questions. O. Jennings Wise, a son of the renowned Governor, wanted to discuss matters with the Know Nothing Douglasite, but' could not get a chance. Foot complained most bitterly of his treatment, but had to bear it. It is quite doubtful whether Douglas will get votes enough iu.Vir ginia to give the State to Rell. Tep thou sand we suppose would do it, but it is doubtful whether he can carry so many. Douglag tu Aikano. - The Democracy in Arkansas made their nominations, as they did in other States, before the split in -the party. The candidate for. Governor, Johnson, come out for Douglas. , Having the regu lar nomination, it was thought he would be elected notwithstanding his Dptiglas ism. But M. M. Rector announced himself as a Breckinridge candidate, and the election just past shows thatrDou is no where, Rector, ' running rithbut nomination; ' arid against the regular candidate, is elected by a very large ma jority. When . the,, question comes up between Douglas himself and Rreckin ridge, there will scarcely be a show of a fight. " : ' ' We Take tt all Back. A week or two ago we stated that Cal ifornia Would not vote for Lincoln'. We then thought just what vre said. The Democracy have had such absolute control of that State that we did not suppose it possible to redeem it. Rut the last accounts from there put quite a different aspect on the canvas. Tlie "ir repressible conflict";, has;; broken put ber tween the two wings of the party with a bitterness : unknowri elsewhere. Tith this intestine warfareand '.the constant accessions to the Republican ranks, it is now. believed ; that. Lincoln will easily carry the Golden State, If so," he will doubtless sweep every Free" State in the Union; ' , '" ' . '' ' "" "J ' '.'JKr.Ther'e is a . German Republican Club in Peoria, Illinois, eomjiosed ex clusively of those who voted for Douglas two years ago, and which now numbers over three hundred. And in many of the Southern: counties the changes are far more extensive. In what is called "Egypt," the Republicans '- received scarcely any votes in 185G. In one county where Fremont received only 10 votes, there are over 1,000 enrolled, in the Republican Clubs." We do not see, from all the indications, how it is possi ble for the factions opposed to the Re publican party to prevent Lincoln from carrying Illinois by a large majority. 8The Breckinridgoiv have carried a. majority an joint ballot, of the Legis lature of Missouri, and will .therefore return Senator Green to the U. S. Sen ate. : Green is a bitter opponent of Doug las, and the fight in that State was main ly on that; issue. The Republicans elected twelve true, open, earnest repre sentatives, whose voices will be heard for the rights of free labor. With twelve good Republicans in the Legislature of Missourij and F. P. Rlar from the same State in i. Congress, the progress of free principles will receive a new impetus in that border Slave State.' 'Let the friends of free labor everywhere take courage. J6"IIon. Thps. Sparrow, 'of Columbus, is running as a Breckinridge candidate for Congress. The , Statesman is down upon hiiri. "like a thousand of brick." Sparrow is a first rate man aside from his politics, and was elected last year to an important-office by the Democracy of Franklin County,' and by the largest ma jority of any ' man on the ticket.1 We don't think Mr, Sparrow can be elected.' But if he runs well we think Sam Gal loway will be, and that will be glory enough for all practical purposes. - ; tt i-t-h V iv ' Rigbt Spunky. : . ,i Hon. T.B. Flpurnoy of Arkansas, as a member of the Douglas Committee, has called a Douglas State Convention. He .says' their 'nip tto must be, "No com promise with. bolters no striking hands with scceders." That's the talk. But then it don't quite square with the des perate efforts at fusion which the Doug lasitcs "are making elsewhere.' Bu.t no matter. The party js made of patch work, and the more colored the better. on,; 11. B, Stevenson a Demo cratic Representative in the last Legisla ture of Ohio, is out in a first rate letter, giving his reasons for abandoning the disrupted Democracy, and joining the Republicans. The party had no better man in the Legislature than Mr. Steven son. And when such men give such cogent reasons for supporting the Repub lican cause; others will take the same course. - . J6SP" Judge Johnson, of Cincinnati, the last candidate of the Old Whig party for Governor, and rwho has:1 been "lying around loose" ever since the organiza tion 6f the Republican party, still claim ing to be a sort of Whig, but 'stumping for, and voting with the Democrats, has come out for Lincoln, and is on the stiiinp again, right side up. j&SfDr. Mason, Post Master, at Dun dee, recently renounced Douglasism, and all other Democratic isms, and made a Strong speech, at a Republican meeting, j giving hi his hearty adhesion to the cause and candidates of free ' labor, and human progress. . JKTho. Defiance Republic publishes letters from T. Fitzpatrick and C. Cos ter, among the oldest and most respected Democrats of that County,, announcing their withdrawal, from the Democratic party, and their cordial acceptance the Republican platform and candidate POLITICAL. Bj3u-Douglas, having stumped New England and the Middle States, is now on a tour of the South. :lu his speech in Virginia the other day, the question was asked him if he would aid the South in dissolving the Union in case the peo ple of the United States should elect Lincoln President. Douglas promptly answered that he would not. BGovernor Ranks, of Mass., has beei elected President of the Illinois Central railroad, and therefore declines peremptorily to be a candidate for re election as Governor. He would have been nominated by acclamation. He will remove to Chicago and is destined to be one of the leading nieii of the great West. ' '. . B5jiThe Douglas Democracy of Iowa have just met with a terrible shock. Two of their four electors, decline to run, for the reason., that they can't any longer support the party, its platform, or its nominees. Alas! poor Douglas! We suppose the leaders will sell out cheap to some, of the other factions. Communicated. . For tho Fomcroj; Weekly Telegraph. PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEIGS COUN TY TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.

SPORTS At the "Pleasant Flats"' Face Course, Mason Co., Va., Any. 2-itli, 18110. On the evening of the 24th we had a light shower of rain, which left the track in fine condition on the morning of the 25th, when at 7 o'clock A. M. Mr. II. S. Wei ton's b. h. "Tipton Slasher" com menced trotting his ten mile heat in har ness against time (40 minutes) for 100 a side, and went as follows: First mile, 4:08: 2d, 3:54J: 3d, 3:43i; 4th, 3:46; 5th, 3:18; Uth, 3:50; 7th, 3:5l"; 8th, 3:57; 9th, 3:57; 10th, 4:08, - making the heat iu 39:03, nnd, to all appearances, making this heat much easier than he did his five mile heat, July 28th. There may be horses in this vicinity that can beat "Tipton" a single mile, but we believe his bottom is unquestionably- good. At 11 o'clock a foot-race of one mile for 20 was run by Frank Stewart and J. Sidebottom. Won by Stewart in 5:05; Sidebottom dist. At 1 o'clock P. M. a trotting match came off between Col. Thomas' s. m. "Fanny," and II. S. Wcltori's blk. c. "Honesty." Won by "Fanny" in 3:45J. It is thought that, with a change of dri vers, the result of this race would have been different. . . The fall races of the "Mason County Jockey Club" come off over this course Oct. 18th, 19th and 20th, when it is ex pected that some fine stock will be shown, and some good running done. We are informed that Messrs. Reber & Kutz's br. m. "Alamode" by Mariner, -'dairi Fashion by Imp. Trustee, is expected to attend these races, and should she carry off the laurels we shall be ready to call her a "good one." Mr. Robert Adams has just completed a fine mile course immediately opposite Ponieroy, (also in Mason Co., Va.,). which will afford those of our citizens desirous of testing the speed or bottom of their horses an excellent opportunity to do so; and although, the time of our . trotting horses may look filow. to "outsiders," it must be remembered that trotting is a new thing in this viciniry, and with the present good facilities for training, we shall not be surprised if we arc enabled within twelve months to record time well down in the "two-forties."

I dislike to hear a man (espe cially a professed christian) calling the Rible to his aid in support of human Slavery. . It seems as though he misun derstood the teachings of that Sacred word. .- 2nd. I dislike to hear a man after proving slavery (as he thinks) to be of divine origin, say, "Oh? I'm as much op posed to slavery as any one can be." It shows a want of consistency, not to say honesty. ' ' ' ' . :'.:.'..- 3rd. I dislike to see 'an individual carrying the Cincinnate E-nquirer in his pocket and, attempting to show, from it the true position of the Douglas Democ racy, and asserting for truth what he therein reads. It shows, at once, that he is ' dishonest . as the paper, or else nqn compos mentis for said paper never was a fair exponent of Democracy. 1th; ' I dislike to hear a Democrat or Union man, telling what the Republican platform is,, when they know nothing about it, perhaps never read or saw it. It shows they are ignorant, perhaps willfully so. (5th. and 6th.' Our subscriber will see we have taken the liberty to strike out. We do this simply because we would "dislike" to see them in the Telegraph.

I dislike to see delegates at a Convention trading their votes for the mere object of securing the nomination f some friend, at the sacrifice of some other man, who they know to be the man for the people they represent. It looks like, -'You tickle nie and I'll tickle you." - ,::-.:.- : . : :. 8th. I dislike to haar a. man find fault with an oflicer for (the charge of) non-performance of duty, w-hen.tbecofn-plaihant knows nothing about the- du ties of said office, knows not whether the charge be true. It seems like an infringement on the golden rule. "Whatsoever ye would that men- should do unto you, &c.'r 9th. I dislike to hear1 a man speak contemptibly of our county paper, and at the same time, anxious to borrow it, to fret some valuable information that he cannot procure elsewhere. It certainly low, mean, ungentlemanly. 10th. I dislike to see any Republican in Meiers County, who is not a payinp; sub scriber, and reader, of the. Telegraph. it snows a want or properly appreciating that which we cannot do without. And finally .i .
