When it was liast announced that the Bell and
Douglas tften of New Yorkehad fused, tle Southern
Breckinridge ißsuViionists, held up their hands in
holy*horror at the wicked combination to defeat Lin
coln, and when the Breckinridge men* of the same
State were invitetj to fuse also, with the Bell and
Douglas men, and indignantly refysefl, their South-*
eni bretharn sent up a loud shout, and greatly re.
joieed to think th*v had so much independent patriot
ism. But when they found oht that the Bejf and
Douglas men had uo re-*yect for their strength in
New York and that there corporals guard was treat*
cd with contempt, although invited, through policy*
to fuse, they became very anxious to participate in
the fusion, and although, they •ridiculed tjie Bell ,
men for accepting ten the New York electoral
ticket, they were glad to be granted seven in jhe same
ticket. Their indignation bandied out, their Renun
ciations changed to praise and noic with them the
people ha\;e taken the matter out of the liands of
their bargaining, demagogical committee men, and
put *U into kite *lityids of honest‘patriots.” They
are the easiest set to wake happy we have ever seen.
When their leaders have the power and can carry
thcfmrty their ywn way, they are patriots,” Vuid
honest statesman, but if tlfesc Sime leaders choose to
change the order >it’ things and reverse the position

The Breckinridge Democracy are likelv to have a
merry time of it with some of their new converts
Dr. Miller, in a speech the other day, said he was
no Democrat, but stood still, and the Breckiurid<*ers ‘
had come to him and were standing on the Know 1
Nothing platform —an announcement that was not
uo well received by the Hardshells present. The Dr
clinched the nail by telling them that the first truth
that was ever put in a Democratic platform, burst ‘
“the party to atoms!— Sir. Republican.
That.will do very well for the man democrats hare

Our respected eotemporary, the Constitutionalist,
of Augusta, very properly suggests thatthe conduc-
I tors ol the southern presa be more cautious in nub
lisliiug insurreetionnry alarms end stories. We
.have some time since ceased to retail them, believing
they weiy designed to carry out eone wieke 1 scheme,
perhaps in polities, or something else*; and, in hoM
instances, having no feaadaiioa in truth.— Macon
i Citizen.
Most of these insurrectionary stories* have beers
denied and their falsehoods shown up, and still the
O
Southern press persist in publishing them. They are
having the efieet the_iowere intended to piroduce iu one
0
respect, to ‘-inflame the Southern mind,” and make
the North intolerable to the South; but they will Tail
yi another respect: that of securing the Southern
vote to* Breckinridge as a Misuuionist. 0 But how
could the* southern press be expdbted to keep these
1 out of their columns, when they publish the foulest
specimens of abolition declamation they can lay
hands on? They have thus filled the South with
abolition sentiments, by educating the people from
the most rabid, bitter and incendiary schools of the
North. hy do they do it ? We know they are
sound Southern men. Is it merely thbt*“tj]eir rea
ders iqpy see what tlieAbolitiotiists ifc say?” This
is the very way to “ inflame the Soutltrn mind Must
| their readers hear all the evil and ridiculous stories
m
♦ because they exist? Suppose the chrisflan parent
should teach Lis cliilfl after such a rule: we imagine
we can bear the pious Lyhcr aying, my son, take
glass and drink the it contains, for
whiskey Is a great evil, and I want you to learn all
about it that you may be*able to take a proper*tand
against it. Doubtless the pious father would have
the satisfaction of seeing his temperate son waging
a great war of extermination against whiskey.

The pillowing, from the Daily Citizen, explains the
defeat of Dr. Harrison for Mayor of the City of
Macon in the recent election.
o
The whole number of votes polled Saturday,
for Mayor, was 725, o£ which Dr. Thomson received
377, and Dr. Harrison 54*. giving tlie former
jority of 29. This result was not unexpected to us,
as we said, when weheard of the nomination of Dr.
Thomson. He is an old citizen of Macon and has
’ made hosts of friends by his amenity of manners,
liis%enevolence to the poiy;, and his general integrity
of character. A more popular man couM not have
been selected by the fora candidate,
•and the result lias justified tlie sagacity displayed in
tl,e nomination. But tlie victory of Dr. Thomson
over liis very worthy opponent. c*nnot be consider
ed a political triumph ofethe party who nominated
him, for the reason that perhaps
Everett men voted for hii. He acknowledges this,
we learn, and has thanked his political opponents for
the votes conferred by them.
In ibis connection w4_‘ might say, alsof that some
o tie Doctor’s professional friends made the elec
tion a test question between Allopathy and Lobelia!
, AU ‘ - :0 ’ headed by Prof. Lochrane (a Doug
j’ 11 stron g f°r their Representative can

Harrison, on account of the Small Pox matters of
last year, which affected the result. •

AVe take the following timely and suggestive ex
tract from an abFe article in the New York Herald
of Friday :
“The results of the recent elections in tlie South,
Nsorlh and West show that the battle for life preser
vation of the government from Ipmds that would
administer it on principles destructive to every great
interest in the lnlid, and to the Union itself, must be
foughtain the great commercial, manufacturing and
milling States of New York, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania. * #
“ These are the battle States of the Confederation,
and on the triumph of the conservative interest in
them demands the rolling back of the exaggerated
manias of sectionalism and fanaticism which have
grown into enormous proportions in the opposing
sections at either extreme. In order that a clear
view may be taken of the elements which thecon
screative leaders have al their disposaliofl in the
battle States, we lyno prepared the following table
of the popular vote in them during the
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 1856.
States @ • • lupublieans. Opposition
Xi-w York vJ6.91 7 .320,183 ,
Pennsylvania #- - -147,510 312,885
New Jersey %.? 28,338 71,05%
Total *. .452,755.. 4* 704,425-
Opposition majority in 1856 251,670
41 ere we see. that in the excited and enthusiastic °
election of 1856, when the personal popularity and
conscrvflGve tendencies of Fremont gave an immense
impulse to the Republican pift ty, it obtained less
than two-filths ot the popular vote in the battles
States, and that it carried New, York by a plurality
only through the division ot iis = opponents, and lu
the face of a popular majority of forty-five thousand
against it. Jhnee thftt, that party has had the ad
vantage of four years of discipline and drill, wTth a
constantly increasing population, with still-greater
divisions amongsits oppioncnts, augmenting its pres
tige and its numbers, and with constant success in
the New England and North western States. From
its growth in we ui?ty form sn*oc idea of its
possible maximum inewase in ilte battle States,
where it lias had to contend witfi a more conferva-,
live sentiment*than in either the exwetae North or
fiast. The following State# have recently held elec
tions, and we can therelflre compare results with
those of 1056: • •

Republican majority in 1856...° 2,060
From*these results it will be een that its gains
have been nothing at all in the aggregate, if we ex -
cept.the State of Conmwticut,®where the elec
tion of 1856 took place before the Republican party
was organized,•and consequently our table enables
it to show a gain in that Slate of nearly thirty-eight
thousand voles.. From these tacts it will be seen
that t-ven in the extreme northern .‘fhdXvestern States
where Bktck Republicanism is iiiosi rif, it lias real
ly gained nothing on the vote of 1856. This being:
the case, what result may we look for in the coming
contest in the battle Stales of the Union?
It is obvious, from the foregoing facts and figures,
| that Black llejmblicanisin is in a woeful minoiity in
these main battle Hates of New York, Pennsylvania,
1 and New.Jersey. Is (T>5G, just four years ago, there
was a popular majority against the ” irrepressible
conflict’’ in those States alone, of* two hundred and.,
fiftig-one thousand six hundred and seventy. That,
; through the folly, corrupt and crimes
| of the present Buciianan-Bi eckinridge adminjstra
i tion, the Republican strength lis somewhat increas
! ed in these three Stales within the hftt four years,
iwe are prepared to believe. But that there is sill .
an overwhelming majority <>? the voters of those
three .Mates Sr inly andMeeMedJy opposed to Black
Ueptiblicauisin, and Conservative, and tiational in
their feelings and opinions, ;yid wlio are now ready
and willing to aid defeat of Lincoln and in the
preservation of the Union, is a fi*St that canmri, we
think, be disputed. * And such being the tact— the.
it. that Lincoln may nqjt bq,defeated. defeated
easily? What hinders? What obstacle stand# in
the way ? ®
