Holmes County Republican

GREEN on DOUGLAS.-Senator GREEN of Missouri, is on the Stump in that State for Breckenridge. He supported the Douglas State ticket in Missouri at the recent election, but he can't swallow the "Little Giant" himself. Hear the distinction he draws between DOUGLAS and BRECKENRIDGE. In a recent speech at St. Joseph, Mr. GREEN thus indirectly referred to the wretched expedients to which the rump Presidential candidate is resorting in the present canvass in order to build up factitious popularity with the "b'hoys:"

He supported John C. Breckenridge because he had never traveled up and down the river on the decks of a steamboat advocating his own election to the Presidency; he had never descended into beer saloons, and drank lager, in order to gain popularity with the vulgar rabble; he had never sent hired letter-writers all over the country to puff himself into notoriety, and cry down everybody else; he had never prostituted the telegraph to sound his own praises, and misrepresent every other prominent man in the party; and, finally, he supported him because he was the only man who had any chance of defeating Lincoln. No Southern State would under any circumstances, cast her electoral vote for Douglas, and he didn't believe he could get a single Northern State.-N. Y. Jour. of Commerce.
