C~oLUMBUs, o., Nov. u, -.
"Timet are very tight here at present. ID,
suspension Of some Of The banks has opened th,
eyes Of the people; the City Bank closed ON the
1lth inst. There has been several failure among
som Of our leading men.
"The emigration 10 Iowa aud Nebraska frou
this State will be large in the spring.
"Now | tell YOU, we do not want 20 be kent
in the dark any longer respecting the name Of
county; there being two distinguished in
diyiduals Of the same name; a small touch in IN,
Palladium explaining 20 us whether It is named
after Ferderic or Stephen Douglas, will beyery
acceptable"
For the information of our correspon-
dent, and that Of others who may be in
volved in similar darkness, we take pleas
ure in saying that the name of our county
was given in honor Of the distinguished
author and defender Of the Nebraska bill
Stephen A. Douglas. Although we are
utterly opposed to the establishment Of
human slavery in Nebraska, we hold that
the people have just as good a right to es-
tablish that institution here, as they have
South of Mason's and Dixon's line. ii
it Is right to establish slavery South Of @
certain line, il is equally right to establish
it Norih Of hat line, and we honor Mr..
Douglas Tor having given wider scope to
the doctrine of democratic equality than
has hitherto, been done.
