QUEER.
- The Douglas men say that hey are
the Democratic party, and that they
have been cheated and betrayed by Bu
chanan, Breckinridge, &c. It is very
strange that all their trusted men betray
them. Pierce was a model President
when elected. So said our Democrats
But he. "betrayed" the party,, and was
superceded by Buchanan, that "wise,
conservative, pure and immaculate Dem
ocratic Statesman." And with Breck
inridge to aid him, our Democratic
friends thought they had secured a boon
to their country. These great statesmen
called to the Cabinet, and other oflicial
jKwts, the Casses, Blacks, Touceys, and
such like, the shining lights of the party.
Where are they now? All "traitors,"
disunionists," and "enemies to the coun
try ."'So say 'our Democratic friends.
Our Douglasites say they have been "be
trayed", by all of these, their trusted
leaders. The strength of the party was
in the South. ' Democrats shouted them
6elvcs' hoarse over" "Democratic victo
ries" in the South. Now they say these
. Southern men over whose election they
went wild with joy, have "betrayed"
them, and are all "traitors and disunion
ists." Is it not queer?
Wc have thirty-three States, and con
sequently sixty -six Senators. Of these
the Democratic party elected a very
large majority. Our Democrats rejoiced
over the election of every one of them
us a Democratic victory. But, of al
these Senators the trusted leaders of
Ihe party Wery one but Douglas and
Imgh, you say, have "betrayed" you.
All .the rest are "traitors and disunion
ists." Your leader, Douglas, who stood
the self-elected leader of these Demo
wati' Senators,' a few months ago, is
ow- reviled and utterly repudiated by
except: Pugh, and after the 4th of
March,' if he doe3 not resign, he will
t-.tand absolutely alone in that august
body. ; "All the rest have "betrayed" you
itrtd turned "traitors." So you say, and
. 0. say your organs. This is very queer.
'- ft.3iu the National Demdcrat, published
;t Cleveland, has also, as the Statesman
and Enquirer say, "betrayed" you and
turned "disunionist." It supports the
Presidents, and Cabinets, and Senators,
and Representatives over whose election
vyou so extravigantly rejoiced, and hence - the desperate leaders of the various fac
its "betrayal" of you. And the Demo- i tions can make it. The Electoral ticket
rat says that every Governor which the is composed of fifteen Douglasites, ten
Democracy of Ohio ever elected, and J Bell men and ten Breckinridgers". The
oyer whose success you rejoiced,- now Irish Catholic and rampant Know Noth
eupports Breckinridge and Lane.- And, ! ing the Slave Code Breckinridger and
consequently, they have all "betrayed" j Squatter Douglasite all phazes, fac
you. The great Governor Wood pre- tions, and fanaticisms, are expected to

He is making Breckinridge speeches, ' mass for this mongrel ticket, and for
and denonnfing Douglas and bis shams, what? Simply with the desperate hope
lle is therefore, a "traitor and disunion- j
ist." ITc, you say. has "betrayed" vou. !

rOfir. Is it not strfinfTO mrir TVicci nnr i
strange that all these, your chosen i
j champions, should "betray" you and j
I turn -traitors and disunionists?" I
But not only your Presidents and Vice ;
I Presidents, your Cabinet Ministers, your
! Senators, your Representatives and Gov
ernors, but the Judges of the Supreme
j Court of Ohio, whom you selected as
.your wise and good men, and for whom
you labored, and over whose election
you rejoiced, have all "betrayed" you.
When yci adopted the new Constitution
of Ohio, you placed it, you said, "in the i
hands of ita friends." You elected a
full bench of Judges. You gloried in
their election. They were your choice
mcu. Where are they now? Where is
Caldwell? Where is Corwin? Wher
is Bartley? -Where is Burchard?
Where is Kennon? Every one of them
arc now on the stump for Breckinridge
and Lane, and denouncing Doup'ias as a
"demagogue" a "political gambler"
a mere '-trickster," withoxit principles,
character, honesty, or statesmanship.
They have all "betrayed" you, you say,
and are "traitors and disunionists."
Well, is it not strange, we again ask,
that you should be the unfortunate vic
tims of such unvarying "betrayal?"
Your patience is certainly sublime.
There seems to be a method in this uni
versal "treason" of your chiefs. Did
you never suspect, dear, good, easy,
Democratic A iends, that you were used
ae the dupes of demagogues? It is cer
tainly very convenient for these "trai
tors" to have your votes on election day,
and quite gratifying to them to hear
you shout over their election. And the
squad you are now straining every nerve
to elect, must admire your easy gulla-
bility. But they have a right to expect
your services, judging you by your ac
tion in the past. They probably thiuk
you have been operated upon so long
that you have become used to the trick,
and rather like it. Perhaps they are right.
They have used you so long that they
probably estimate you at your true worth.
Judging from the standard of ordinary
manhood, tee could not suppose it possi
ble that white men in a Free State could
be held as the perpetual tools of design
ing men, and should therefore be inclined
to look for signs of the kindling of some
sparks of self-respect. ' But not being so
well acquainted with you as your leaders
are, we are not prepared, perhaps, to
place as just an estimate upon you.
The election," now approaching, will de
monstrate whether these leaders have
sounded you to the bottom. As a mere
student of human nature we await the
result with some curiosity, as it will il-
lustrate a new chapter in social science.
THE FUSION IN NEW YORK.
The political gamblers in New York
have become desperate.' As the cam
paign progresses, every day adds to the
certainty of the election of Lincoln and
Hamlin. No one of the opposing fac
tions pretends to have any hope of an
elootion by the people. And the idea
of being driven from their plunder at
the public Treasury is driving the lead
ers to madness. In their intense strug
gle for the spoils, they have assumed
that the masses of their several factions
were as mere merchandise in their hands,
to be sold and transferred at pleasure.
With the desperate purpose of defeating
an election by the people, and throwing
it into Congress to be the reward of cor
ruption and bribery, the leaders of the
Douglas and Bell factions first fused.
After long negotiation, the Central Com
mittees of these factions entered into an
agreement to divide the spoils between
them, if they could succeed, in the pro
portion of 25 to 10. Accordingly ten
Douglas men were omitted from the
Democrat electoral ticket, and ten good
Know Nothings substituted, and the
State and county offices were to be di
vided in about the same ratio. A per
fect hallalujah! shout went up from all
the Bell and Douglas organs at the suc
cess of this amalgamation. But, alas! it
was soon discovered that hundreds of
the honest voters refused to be sold like
slaves, and utterly repudiated the dis
graceful coalition. It became manifest
that with this fusion, still there was no
chance of getting the spoils. Many of
the faithful swore by the sceptre of
Breckinridge, and if they voted their
own ticket the case was hopeless indeed
So a bargain was proposed to the lead
ers of the Breckinridge faction to come
into the partnership and share the
spoils. The Breckinridgers would only
come in on the same terms granted to
the Know Nothings -that is ten thirty
fifths of all the spoils. The Douglas
leaders demurred for a long time, and
the committee were at work for a week
trying to make better terms, but the
Breckinridgers were inflexible. At last
the Douglasites caved, and gave up ten
more of their electoral ticket, and sup
plied their places with ten Breckinridge
men, whom they had, up to that hour,
denounced as "traitors and disunionists."
The fusion is now complete, as far as
of defeating the will of the people, and
throwinsr the election of President into
Congress to be gambled for by Denia-
gogues. But, thanks to the intelligence
masses, at the efforts of the leaders to
sell and transfer them like slaves, is most
n.inrn.l iYtn cliftmnj nf pnnlttinn llflW I
sees the certainty of defeat in the up-
rising of the people, and gives up the
contest in that State as hopeless, and
advises a dead assault upon Pennsylva-
nia. The leaders there have already
fused, but all accounts bring the cheer
ing assurance that that State is secure
for the Republicans beyoud the shadow
of a doubt. The elections just held in
Vermont and Maine, are but the precur
sors of the coming victory. No amount
of falsehoods and slanc can longer gull
the people of the free States.
No com
bination of discordant factions will bt
permitted to thwart the will of the-people.
Lincoln and Hamlin will be elec
ted. The beneficient policy of the Re
publicans will be carried out in the Ad
ministration of the government. Peace
and prosperity will bless the people.
And none will suffer but the plunderers
who have grown rich upon official cor
ruption, and whose dying struggles now
convulse the land.
P. S. Since the above was written,
further developments show that the co
alition with the Breckinridge party has
failed, and the whole plot has blown up.
The leaders finally quarreled about the
division of the spoils, and the scheme of
amalgamation failed. Lincoln will carry
New York by such a majority as no man
ever received in any State in the Union.
ARE THEY INSANE!
For years past the staple of all Dem
ocratic literature in Vermont has been
the charge of "Abolitionism" on the
Republican party. If it were not for
the feeling of disgust, excited by the
everlasting repetition of the slang, one
would suppose that there must be some
thing horrible in the term, or at least
that the people of Vermont would cer
tainly discard any man upon whomt the
epithet was fastened. No matter who is
nominated by the Republicans, or for
what office, the howl is instantly set up
and continued until election. The peo
ple are told ad nauseum, that the Re
publican candidates are "Abolitionists,"
and their doctrines are "Abolitionism"
and the very heavens are made to rever
berate "Aboliiionisml" Election day,
however, comes, and the Republican can
didates are all elected. Another un
earthly screech of "Abolitionists!" and
"Abolitionism!" winds up the ' campaign,
and 'doses of "Abolitionism!" fill up the
vacation until the next canvass, when
the frantic shrieks of "Abolitionist!" are
renewed with double vehemence, and
followed by a Republican majority
double of the year before.
Such has been the stock in trade of
the Democratic party in Vermont for
years past, and in no former campaign
was the "Abolition" slang used so reck
lessly and in such an unbroken . torrent
as in that just closed. Aud the result
is exactly correspondent. There is
scarcely a vestige of the party left.
Year by year, the better class of Demo
crats, becoming disgusted with the sick
ening dose of stale inanities doled out by
the leaders, have joined the Republican
ranks, and yet these same leaders, as if
as devoid of brains as of principles, for
saken by their former party friends, and
despised by the masses of the people,
like chattering lunatics, are straining
their lungs till their very eyes stick out
like peeled onions, shouting "Abolition
ists!" "Abolitionism!"
If our Ohio orators were not as de
mented as their brethern in Vermont,
we think they would change their tune.
But it seems to be the nature of the
species of lunacy with which they are
afflicted to deprive its victims of the
power of perception. We suppose they
will have to run their course here as
elsewhere. The air of Ohio has been
vocal for years with the same phrenzy,
and with the same result. The election
will show that here, as elsewhere, thou
sands of their own party have left them
in disgust. But .we suppose when the
election is over they will cheer each
other with a-rehash of their old remedy,
and wind up the performance by a uni
versal shout of "Abolitionism!"
THE ELECTION IN VERMONT.
Vermont, we believe, is the native
State of Stephen A. Douglas. But she
ought not to be held responsible for the
wayward course of her unworthy son.
She is not the first mother whose fond
hopes for a promising boy have been
blasted in the career of that same boy's
manhood. And especially ought not the
Green Mountain State be made to suffer
in her reputation for having produced
the Little Dwarf, since she has so em
phatically repudiated the abortion.
Vermont held her election in the early
part of the month; and although no Re
publican ever doubted her fidelity to the
cause of free labor, yet, from the boast
ing and ranting of the Douglas orators
and editors, many were prepared to see
the contest a close one. Douglas him
self stumped the State and rehearsed,
even to nausea, his thread-bare humbugs,
and his sattelites filled the land with false
statements of his triumphant progress
through the State. Well, the election
has come off, and although the Breckin
ridge and Douglas men were cordially
united on State officers, the Republicans
swept the State by more' than twenty-two
thomand majority, over both factions com-
Lined! This is five thousand more than
was ever given for any party before. In
fact, it is nearly a clean sweep. Ver-
mont stands an example of fidelity to
truth and justice. If the want of votes
in any section makes a party sectional, j
then the Douglas party is a purely sec-
tlien tne UOUgias party is purely sue-
tional concern, so far as Vermont, and
the rest of New England, is concerned. ;
The Republicans nave an me ome om-
cars, by the above overwhelming major-i
... ... . . ..ce i
- . - i
ity. They nave Dotn ine u. o. senators.
They have the entire Delegation in Con
gress. They have the State Senate unan
imously, and very nearly the whole
House of Representatives. Never was
a party so utterly, and hopelessly beaten,
as is the Democracy in Vermont. This
is the first State election preceeding the
great contest for President, and clearly
shows the direction of the popular mind.

CHARLEY MARTIN.
As a specimen of the mods of elec
tioneering for Mr. Martin in the upper
end of the District, we copy the follow
ing from his special organ, the Demo
cratic Union. Only think of i Mr.
Horton is represented ,as a rf slavery
man and a free trader, while Martin is
the anti-slaoery and protectice tariff can
didate! Could audacity go beyond this?
We copy the article just as published,
italics and all. What can be thought
of the intelligence of the people, or the
honesty of the candidates, who expect
to win by such perversions of truth?
We sive the article without further com
ment, as it surely needs none. The
Union says :
"What a contrast between the public
records of the two men who are now
asking the support of the people of this
District? If Republicans would vote in
accordance with the avowed sentiments
of their party in several respects, they
would vote for Mr. Martin; because their
party is aait-slavery in . the extreme,
and Mr. Horton, their candidate for
Congress, is 2ra-slavery in his actions,
because he voted to establish slavery in,
Kansas, while Mr. Martin's record will
clear him from all such charges.
- "It is also the farmer's interest to se
cure the election of Mr. Martin, because
he is in favor of 'Home Protection,' in
favor of a high protective tariff on home
productions, one that will secure the
wool grower, for instance, a high ratio
of increase on . the price - of his wool,
while Mr. Horton voted, actually voted,
while in Congress, against the wool in
terest of the country, and consequently
is an avowed enemy to the farming in
terest. "The people should reflect on these
facts, and particularly the farmer. In
Perry county wool growing is becoming
an important branch of farming, and an
increase in price at a ratio of nearly ona
fourth upon the fluctuating prices now
given is no small matter to the iarmer
The prices now given for woel is by far
too low, and there is but one thing that
will give the farmer a high and steady
price for his wool, and that is,' such a
tariff imposed by our government on the
importations of foreign wool in this
country as will compel Eastern manu
facturers to raise the price on home
wool to an equality with that which
they would have to pay for foreign wool
under the workins 01 the tarilt system
It would pay any Republican farmer in
the country to so vote as to secure
Democratic Congress in order that this
grand feature of Democratic rule could
be put in force. The Republican party
will never do it. When such a law did
exist the Opposition voted it dowu, and
V. B. Horton helped to vote it down and
made a speerh in favor of free icool, that
is, that foreign wool should come into
this country free of duty, thereby keep
ing down the price of our own wool.
Mr. Horton is trying to make light this
part of his record, he is trying to make
the farmers believe that it is best to be
without a protective tariff, but when all
the farmers learn this tariff will give
them a large increased price for their
wool, the majority will be in, and vote
for the man who is to represent this Dis
trict in Congress who will be in favor of
'Home protection.' Reflect well, farm
ers, it is to your interest solely."
BSJTlt is amusing to read the organs
of the different factions opposed to the
Republican party. We give a specimen
from two of them, on the election just
held in Arkansas. The Chicago Times
and Herald is the Douglas organ in Illi
nois, and daily assures its readers that
Douglas will sweep the whole Union,
North and South, and be elected by the
popular vote over all other candidates.
It insists that Arkansas is sure for
Douglas; and speaking of the late elec
tion in that State, says:
"Many of our Democrats will remember
the warm assurance given us by Gen.
Flournoy, at the recent serenade, that his
'gallant little State of Arkansas' was for
Douglas and Johnson. Our ArJcatisas
correspondence, published in to-day's issue,
will be found to confirm the statement of
Gen. r lour noy fully. n here will t fie tide
of Douglasism be stayed?" , p
So much for the Douglas organ. The
Constitution, published at Washington
City, was the organ of the whole party
until the split, since which it supports
the Breckinridge wing. In speaking of
this same Arkansas election, the Consti
tution says:
"The late election in Arkansas was
for Governor and members of the Legis
lature. Both candidates for Governor
declared themselves for Breckinridge
and Lane. Mr. Albert Rust, Douglas
ite, announced himself a candidate for
the United States Senate. The Demo
crats have elected a majority of the Leg
islature, but as far as we have yet heard
there has not been a single Douglasite
elected! There is no evidence, indeed, in
this election, that there is a Douglasite
in all Arkansas, except Albert Rust and
Mr. Flournoy, above quoted. Where
will the Douglas game of brag be
stayed?"
Here is harmony with a vengeance.
Which wing of the party is deceived?
Evidently one or the other of these "or
gans" is attempting a deliberate decep-
j tion upon its readers. Which is it? Or
; are they both playing the same game?

THE prospect in this district.
" Having spent a weekin Perry County, j
o -i - - j ji
we are asked by our friends "what are the
prospects in the District?" Well, we j
i j j
we have been, and will give our readers j
nnvR 111:11 ik 1 lit: i 11 11 11 1 r v viJr v w 11 pro
: .1 : : t .
our canam opinion, jntuusiasuc ie- !
publicans, knowing that the principles of j
our party are Dcnencient, and that our ,
candidate, for character, ability and
true conscrvauve statesmanship wouiu
do honor to his constituents, jump to
: ..ii. i ii'
the conclusion that he will be elected I
with a sweep. This is a very comforta-
ble feeling before the election, but if it
should lead to inaction and consequent
defeat, it would not be followed by quite
so pleasant reflections afterward
r
We may as wel1' then' look tlie ficta
1 i il I 1 1 1
right in the face, and see precisely where
we stand. In the first place we have to
meet a Democratic mojority of 1220
given for Governor in the District last
year. There is no use to ignore the
fact, that this is considered the strongest
Democratic District in the State. The
Democracy claim it with more confidence
than any other, and will make every
possible effort to retain their ascendancy.
It is the death struggle of the party.
Whether they win or lose in this Dis
trict, the party is hopelessly sunk. And
the absolute conviction of the truth of
this statement will urge the leaders to a
last desperate struggle in this campaign.
The party is, moreover, pretty well uni
ted on Mr. Martin. While in Congress
he sustained the English swindle in
Kansas poligamy in Utah and slavery
in New Mexico, and the Administration
of Buchanan generally. This gives
him a claim upon the votes of the Breck
inridgers. Since his return, and during
his election campaign, he talks popular
sovereignty, lnis gives nim tne votes
of the Douglas party. Both claim him,
and both will vote for him, each party
trusting to luck to cheat the other after
his election. We have all this to meet
and it makes a very formidable obstruc
tion in the way to an easy victory.
On the other hand, we have, as before
stated, a straightforward, honest plat
form and a straightforward candidate
upon it. This gives us great strength
with the intelligent and thoughtful por
tion of the Democraric party. The con
sequence is, that many such are coming
to our ranks every day.
A change of six hundred, th&refore,
from the Democratic to the Republican
side, would, make a change of twelve
hundred, in the result. There are six
counties in the District; a change of one
hundred and five in each county would
therefore insure the election of Mr.
Horton. It is not rational to sup
pose that there are not more than double
that number of earnest, honest, intelli
gent, and patriotic citizens, in each of
those counties, who love their country
more than party, and who ought, there
fore, to vote the Republican ticket this
year. Thisj a charitable opinion of our
fellow-citizens would lead us to expect;
and here we are favored with known
facts to bear out this theory. , So far as
Meigs County is concerned, there is not
an intelligent Republican in town or
Democrat either who cannot enumerate
among his personal acquaintances more
than the proportion of this county, who
have come over since the campaign com
menced. The single township of Salis
bury will do more than Meigs County's
proportion, in securing the result.
There is no guess-work about this, and
its truth will not be honestly denied.
Taking the whole county, and it will do
much more than her share of the work.
With the other counties we are not so
personally familiar, and must, therefore,
rely more upon the representations of
others. ! In passing through Athens we
had the pleasure of seeing several who
have heretofore acted with the Demo
cratic party, but are now earnestly with
us. We were told of many more, whose
names and residences were given, and
were assured that Athens County would
more than do her part.
In Perry County, in which we atten
tended six appointments, and saw and
conversed with many persons, we are
quite satisfied the requisite number of
changes have already been affected to
make up her proportion of tho. needed
votes.
The other Counties Vinton, Hock
ing and Fairfield we have not yet visited;
but from the representation of friends
upon whose statements we can rely, we
have no doubt they will each do their
part. We feel at liberty to assure our
friends, basing our judgment upon per
sonal knowledge, and such information
as we think reliable, that it is our hon
est conviction, that enough changes from
the Democratic to the Republican par
ties have taken place already, and are
definitely known, to neutralize the 1,220
Democratic majority cf last year; and
that on the State ticket the Republicans,
to-day can poll as many votes as the
united Democracy. We know that
many of our friends think we will do
much better than this, and will blame us
for not partaking of their sanguine hopes
But we will never deceive our readers, or
attempt to gain a floating vote at the ex
pense of truth and the loss of the confi
dence of the people in the reliability of
the Telegraph. We may be mistaken,
but believe the returns will fully sustain
US.
In addition to this, our candidate, Mr.
Horton, will, in every county of the Dis
trict, run ahead of the ticket. This we
know to be the fact. And his majority
therefore will be about the number of
Democratic votes he will receive, with
whatever changes may yet be produced
from the Democratic to the Republican
cause before the election. And this

tion. aud tllat theh' success tLen would
1 rv . .1 "I'D
have a powerful effect upon the Presi
dential election in November. With
this view, no effort which money, craft,
misrepresentation and humbug could de
vise, was left untried to defeat the Repub
licans. So clamorous were the orators,
and so boastful the Democratic papers,
that even the New York Tribune doubted
the success of the Republicans at the
State election, and conceded to the Dem
ocrats one or two of the four members of
Congress. Douglas himself was sum
moned to the rescue, and made a stump
ing tour of the State just before the elec
tion. While at Augusta, one of the
leaders telegraphed to a Douglas Con
vention in New York that "Douglas was
surrounded by, and was speaking to,
35,000 Democrats, and that the State
was sure to go Democratic by a large
majority." The dispatch was read to
the New York Convention amidst the
wildest excitement, and'a resolution was
instantly adopted, and sent back to the
Augusta meeting, pledging the State of
New York to follow Maine in the com
ing, election.
: Well, the Maine election has come
off, and the Republicans have swept the
State by a majority many thousands
larger thap last year. We have not the
exact vote before us, but it cannot be less
than 20,000 over the united Democracy
and some 18,000 over all the factions
opposed to them. They have carried
the whole delegation to Congress, and
nearly the entire State Senate and House
of Representatives. Such a crushing,
overwhelming defeat never fell upon a
party before. It, with the utter annihi
lation of the party in Vermont, shows
unmistakably the current of popular
opinion. We have no doubt the prom
ise of the New York Convention, to fol
low in the footsteps of Maine, will be
fulfilled to the letter. ,
Republicans of Meigs County! Let
the success of your friends in other
States inspire you to greater exertions!
Let us do our part to swell the mighty
tide that is bearing on the party of free
dom and progress to a glorious victory
Every true friend of his country should
feel the responsibility which rests upon
him, and act accordingly. The great
heart of humanity beats true to freedom
and justice. Passion, prejudice, false
hood, misrepresentation, and party ties
may blind the eyes of multitudes for a
time. But while free speech, and a free
pi'ess are allowed to exist, the shams and
delusion which are the defenses of dem
agogues will soon be swept away, and
ihe people, rising in the majesty of their
sovereign power, will pronounce their
fiat from which their will be no appeal.
In less than three weeks you will be called
upon to exercise the dearest right of
freemen. . Don't let ua disappoint our
friends in other places. Meigs County
can give 1000 majority, and every vote
she falls short of that number will be a
proof to our friends that we have not
done our duty. If a distracted and di
vided party can labor for the spoils,
with what zeal should we work, who
work for our country?

The Democratic organ published at
Charleston, Va., has a column of horrors
under the following fearfully terrific
headlines:
"TREASON I TREASON I!

Party of the South to the Black Republican

THE EVIDENCE COMPLETE! 1"
This is an awful state of things in

Only think of it! Stephen Arnold
Douglas a "traitor!" And then the
various kinds of "treason" of which he
is guilty! First: "treason!" Second:
"rank" treason ! ! Third: "foul" trea-

Fifth: "DAMNA-

Stephen!
treason!!!!! Oh! Stephen,
You ought not to have went
and gone and done it. Better you Lad
found your mother, Stephen, and not
went a stumping it in Virginia!
But, in addition to all these several
sorts of "treason," Stephen, it seems, has
gone into the slave trade business on a
pretty large scale. It will be seen that
he has "sold the Democratic party of the
South," and what is most dreadful of
all, he has sold them all "to the Black
Republican John Brown party of the
North!" Well, we "reckon" the Re

such extensive slaveholders.
But we must tell you, Mr. Editor,
