And why should•it not?. It is perfectly.. fair and, equitable. Every: real Democrat in the 'State Must Prefer•the .election of either' Brack inridge or Douglas to Lincoln. •This arrange ment enables ,Ar,r. soon to unite and vote for the same elebtors, without sacrificing any feel : . ing, predjudice or: party obligation.
