H. IN Ico-., alter the passage OF the
Fugitive Law, the people OF Chicago met
and passed very stringent resolutions de-
nouncing it. The Public Authorities OF
the City, in official capacity, also passed
resolutions strongly condemnatory of it
and of those who enacted it. Douglass
soon after visited the city, and made a
speech in yindication of the measure and
of those who voted for it, when the Au-
thoritics took the back track, and the
people apparently were cowed into sub
mission. Judging from these facts, the
friends of Nebraska and Douglass were
quite sure it was only necessary for Doug
lass to make his appearance and say
Peace-Be STILL" to calm the agitation
and Indignation of the people of Chicago
in consequence of the late measures
swat till little Dug comes" was all
the response his few friends had for the
storm of Indignation which met them at
every turn: lie II turn you round his
little finger, and make you take the back
track sad they. Well little Dug
has come, and the attempt to COW down
and whip in has been made. Our read
ers are acquainted with the result. Doug
lass retroactive may say fled-from
the presence Of his injured constituents.
All his resources and all his arts were
triedin vain. The indignation of the peo-
pie was too strong, too deep. The wand
of the demagogue was broken. In short
then and there the grave of 'little Dug
was dug. 1t was the beginning Of the
end Of his public career andno stick which
ever went up with rocket, ever come
down quicker and darker than will he.
This fact has most significant lesson
to it. 1t shows how different the feeling
now is from that of 1852. Then the
public were induced to believe Com
promise had been made which really set
tied the Slavery Question: Compromise
which would forever remain unbroken
Now they perceive that no Compromise
is sacred with that Power; they perceive
that it has set out in the march Of uni
versal conquest, and that nothing but
complete victory on one side or the 9TH
er will ever settle the question. They
arc enlisted for the war Of Liberty, and
they feel and know that their first bust
ness is to forever dispose of the .4rnolds
in their ranks. Stephen voluntarily put
himself in their power, and they have
given him small taste Of what is in store
for him. With him Will perish the whole
of the genus A. c. DoDGE has gone
already; and we look confidently, indeed
certainly, to see these luminaries which
shine because our political sky is 50 black
disappear very suddenly before the break
ing day.

The County Mass Convention.


We gave in cur paper of yesterday,
without comment, the proceedings Of this
Convention. The Convention was well
attended quite as well as we hoped for,
II virtue of the state of the weather and
the pressing labors Of the farmers,-and
We believe there was not town in the
county but which had more or less rep
resentatives present. Those who com
posed the Convention had been members
Of all previous parties, but there was not
the least intimation in the proceedings
that any previous parties were thought
If, or would be again, until the more i'm
mediate matter in hand was disposeu of
The proceedings were satisfactory, so far
IS We could Judge, to all and no Conven-
ton was ever more harmonious. We
ioubt not the resolutions will prove sat
sfactory to the Republicans and those
who desire to be such in this county, for
they are not only full-coyering all the
ground-but they are calm, constitution
al, and sufficiently conservative. The
men Of whom the Convention was com
posed and the feeling manifested. left not
a particle of doubt iii our mind that very
large majority Of the people of this couI ty
were determined to resolve themselves
into practical party to resist the mani
fest encroachments of the Slave Power.
No catchwords of Democracy" "Stick
to your Party" &c. &c, will any longer
lead them into unfolding and sanctioning
the pernicious influences now in the as
cendant in the nation and state. They
will be !; party not to uphold, but to OPP
pose these things, and we say with con
fid,nce to our brethren elsewhere in the
state, that i'll all proper means to advance
the Republican cause, they may draw on
Kenosha county for very large proper
tionatc majority.

Douglass Regulated in Chicago.

The meeting TO hear Senator Douglass
vindication of himself held in Chicago OIL
Friday night, was large one-not less
than 5000 persons present, according to
the Tribune, and composed of the yer,
best classes of the community. "all in
good humor, willing to listen to what
Douglass could say, if spoken in a respect
ful manner, but determined at every haz-
ard to express their disapprobation of his
course, and to prevent him from saying
that Chicago had endorsed him.
After speaking for something more
than an hour, and finding that the people
regarded him very much as the the people
OF the Revolution woul1 have regarded
Benedict Arnold, had he come among
them for the purpose of uiRdicdting his
treachery. and that they treated him i'll
pretty much the same way as Arnold
would have been treated Douglass lost
his temper, which up to this time he had
preserved pretty we'll and began to rave,
and at the end of another hour his down
TALL was complete.
He finally said that as he saw it was use
less for him to proceed. he would leave
the stand. Cries Of good good! He
sad, however, that he would not give up
SO! That he would speak again to the
people, and that they should hear him.
He would now leave the stand, and resign
1t to the mob! lie went off with his hat
on his head, his face distorted with rage,
and shdhtag his FIST IT the audience.
His disappearance from the stand was a
signal for renewed outburst Of the most
terrific cheers and groanS we ever heard.
which continued for some moments"
Douglass was then escorted by body
guard to the fremont House. the crowd
lining the streets through which he pass
ed, and saluting him with heavy groans.
The Tribune closes its notice of this
affair as follows:
Thus ended the vindication of Senator
Douglass before the people Of Chicago.
1t cannot be regarded as anything but a
complete and llumiliating defeat and over
throw OF Douglass and his Capai and as
most glorious triumph Of tie people.
Noskill nod diplomacy no expense had been
spared to get it up, and to have it result
by fair means or foul, in the endorse
ment ofDouglaSS by Chicago. Weeks of
labor have been spent in its arrangement,
and hundreds OF dollars have been ex-
pended in carrying out. 1t was all in
vain. The PEOPLE, the people whom we
prophesied would rule last night. met
without the slightest preconcerted action
and actuated by one impulse, blew the
whole fabric into ruin in an instant.
The moral effect of this meritcd re-
buke, dthoD,e, cannot but be good, and
we rejoice that it was strong and une-
quivocal, while we are glad there was
nothing like personal violence attempt.
