SENATOR DOUGLAS AT CHICAGO.

That hot bed of fanaticsm, The Syracuse OF
Illinois, whose common council, q few years
ar., passed an ordinance MULTI wing law Of the
| United Stases, aud then backed out from their
position under the sedge-hammer knocks of
Senator Douglas, has this time taken the pre-.
caution Of mt hearing him, lest they should
again be obliged to confess themselves in the
wrong. They dare not trust them .elves with
h. sreuments or his facts. just SO the fanatics
Of an ancient city, 10 whom one of the apostles
undertook 10 make known the Gospel OF Christ
drow ned his voice BY shouting .sGreat is Diana
II the Ephe -ans." From the practical demon.
stration of the abolionists. fee-soilers, and alb
clifton wings OF Chicago, we learn what they
mean BY three discussion. II 10 freedom 10
pour forth their denunciations whenev YER
and wherever they please, without in'er-
ruption or objection, and freedom to pre-
vent any who differ from them from exercising
the liberty OF speech. Everybody knows that
IL takes but few mouihs, If let loose bedlam-
fashion, to draw the voice of any speaker SO
IS 10 prevent Lis being understood; ard this is
the feat which the Chicago heroes have per-
formed. The time 10 not distant when they will
be ashamed Of t..
The iolling Of the bells is another achive-
ment for which thy ought 10 have full credit
Il has been tried at several places in New En-.
gland, BY say Of lameniation for the passage
Of law giving the people Of Kan as and Ne
braska tho same power which Massachuss tls and
Connecticut have, Of regulating Their own
domea,ics affairs as they think proper Why
should il not be tried Al Chicago. The pulpits
Of many Of the churches are turned into rostrums
Why should not The bells Of churchs be used
,or the same end? As to the axs Of the ship
o ng being set at half>mass, that is understood
to have Leen an expression of "indignation"
because the honorable senator voted against
wasting millions If the public money upon river
and hsrbor ssimprovemen:s,' for the benefit of
spectators in many cases, rather than for any
purpnse deserving to be called national. Foe
~ Ives, we honor such independence in our
public men. ard wish we had more Of it.
Mr.. Douglas has never been particular fa-
vori,e Of ours, and is not now, but this we will
say for the benefit of whom it may concern.
viz: thn his enemies are doing far moro than
his ff,ends to fulfil his alleged pol,ticala spira-
tons. The same course of d. traction, abuse
contempt. dishnnnr, &c, made Martin Van
Buren President Of the Uaited Ssa'es. and il
will do the same for Douglas, ifanythng could.
