Hon. stephen A. Douglas.

We will not initiate the silly and foolish policy
of some of our opponents, and commend to
them candidate for their choice but of Ste
phen A. Douglas we will undertake to say that,
while there may be many regrets for the defeat
of his opponent, either in the Convention OF be-
fore the people, but few will bewail his success
in either contest He is a bold, frank, candid
and decided adversary-as true and generous to
his friends as magnanimons to his foes. His
views on every theme arc worthy statesman, and
his advocacy of them is direct, clear, forcible
and emphatic-and now and then a little too sue
cessful! If Old San Jacinto is not magnifed
little too much, we may hear of the {" Littl,
Giant" We, however, implore our Democratic
friends not to be governed by our advice.

AMERICAN TELEGRAPH.
A Plain Case Plainly Stated.

An intelligent friend, who is without the vortex
of political excitement has submitted to us the
following remarks. We heartily commend them
to our readers:
The question which puzzles the politicians of
Washington at the present moment is, not who
can be elected President, but who can be nomi-
mated. All concede that General Winfield Scott
may be elected by large majority over any man
whom the Democrats can bring into the field J.;
while it is admitted that Mr.. Fillmore's chances
are worse than doubtful. How strange, then, that
there should be doubt as to the nomination !?
Does not the fact prove that the politicians are
endeavoring to thwart the will of the people
Every candid Democrat will admit that General
Scott is the only man whose popularity would
give that party the least uneasiness while, with
Mr.. Fillmore in the field, they may select their
least available candidate and walk him over the
course with perfect certainty Of bearing of the
prize. They accordingly labor with all the asst
duty of true Fillmore men in procuring that
gentleman's nomination by the Wig party. The
Baltimore Sun has daily circulation of 30, 200,
and its correspondents from this place, over the
signatures of g X' and I" Ion," have obtained q
popularity and influence over the public mind in
this focus of politics of which the public at a
distance have little idea They are both loco
focos, laborng with all their might to secure the
election of either Cass or Buchanan and, to that
end, they patronizc the pretensions of Mr.. Fill
more with a zeal which must be humiating to
that gentleman and his friends, unless their eager
desire to retain power and place has extinguisht
all nobler sentiments What does the course
pursuedby these sagacious, well-informed writers
at the seat of government prove? Does not the
duest comprehension perceive that they are
laboring to bring forward the most available
Democrat and the least available Whig as candi
dates? The self-love and vanity which arc in.
separable from human nature may excuse the
infatuation of Mr. Fillmore; but that his friends
or pretended friends who hold office under him,
should be misled by it, is truly marvellous.
