Running Away from Fillibusterism

Fillibusterism is running down at the heel
very fast, The old adage, that, when man
is going down hill, everybody gives him a
KICK is now in process of veri6cation by the
filllbusters. Since their cause took to going
down hill at rapid rate. erybody has
been giving it kick. These kicks are all
the more painful because many of them come
from persons who were until very lately loud
IN their profession of love for fillibusterism.
Last aud worst and 'most unkindest cut
OF all, the little giant has deserted the
cause! He who was considered the yerv
forefront and leader of fillibusterism has
publicly recanted his errors and is now quite
conservative. Young America has crept
into the bowels of old fogyism. Senator
Douglas has declared against snatching the
brightest jewel from the crown of SPAIN
Rats, it is said desert sinking ship and, if
the desertions from fillibusterism continue as
they have been lately, it will not be long be.
fore all the rats will leave it.
Douglas made speech in the Senate
few days ago in which, according to the tel
egraphic reports, he took grounds very DIFF
ferent from those he occupied prior to the
late Presidential election in relation to Cuba
He defined his position to be this: He was
III favor of letting Cuba alone as long as she
remained true to Spain. If she asserted her
independence of Spain and desired to come
into our confederacy, he would then be will
Ing to let her come in. If Spain was willing
to sell the island on reasonable terms. he
would buy it. He would prevent, at all
hazards the transfer of the island to anv
other power, and, if necessary, he was in
favor of seizing and holding on to it,
Such are the views of Senator Douglas, as
last revised and published by himself, and
it must be admitted that they are far more
reasonable than the wild notions he preach
ed up last year. Until now, Douglas has
been regarded as the leading spirit of fill
busterlsm, and no one expected to hear that
he had deserted the cause. But, in his late
Speech he completely backs out from his
former position. and now occupies grounds
far less Objectionable than those he occupied
less than three months ago when he made a
speech in Washington in which he seemed
to be In favor of a very general system of
raplne. plunder, and annexation. The de-
sertion of such man as Douglas must have
a very marked influence on the cause, though
he did not confer any .respectability on it,
yet the fact that he, cunning man, has de-
serted it, will induce others to do SO, because,
had it not fallen hopelessly low in public
sentiment,' no one believes Douglas would
have deserted it. He deserted it because
he found that everybody else was deserting
it. and he did not wish to be the last man to
leave it. 1t will not be long before the
stampede will become general among the
fillibusters, and the whole crew will run
away from that begglrly ism.

Land BsHEs.

Arkansas has obtained bonus of some
three million of acres of the public domain
In aid of projected railroads The bill
pushed through the House last session bv
the Hon. r w. JOHNSON, received the final
approval of the Senate on Saturday.
In this regard it may be anticipated that
Arkansas will be the single favored State
during the present session. The Home
stead BILL postponed from time to time, has
but meagre chance of being debated and
adopted in the brief period that yet remains
Tor action; and the fates are not more pro-
pltlous in reference to Bennet's land distri-
button bill, which should not take the pre-
cedence of all special grants 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Bennet's measure has under
gone modification with the view of concilia-
ting Western votes; and that the bill so mod
lhed will be tackled to the homestead bill, if
that mammoth plan for the creation of cheap
farms should reach debate and division.
