But mong all the harlequins in the Presiden-
tai arena, Douglas excels. No Characteristic
but impudence recommends this man. But his
impudence is sublime. No speech, no effort, no
report. stroke of policy marks this man as any
thing above mediocrity. He is every way an adj

go, Illinois, yet he is rarely seen there. He
has no domicile there. He has tenement on
