The DeIta,s Defense Of Douglas.


The Delta Affects to look upon the creation of
the Nebraska bill as heroic self-sacrifce on
the part Of Senator Douglas; it appears to con-
slider him sort of political Curtius, leaping into
yawning gulf Of public reprobation to secure
some fancied benefit to his country. Thus:
& This is not tle first time that public man
has been hooted for standing up for the right
The history Of this country affords abundance Of
similar examples of popular insanity. All our
great, strong men have been subjected to these
tests Of true manhood, and have established their
claim to favor by the courage with which they
have breasted the torrent Of popular indigna-
ton. = 355
Very true, indeed; but we have entirely too
high an opinion of the sagacity Of the Delta to
suppose that IL expects any considerable portion
of the press If the country to advocate this idea,
as applied to the case Of Senator Douglas, or any
considerable number Of its own readers to enter
tain belief Of its correctness in that instance.
OF course no man Of understanding would con-
clude that, because the unlucky Senator had
been hooted by an excited multitude, his posi-
tion must necessarily be wrong, neither would
he decide because of that circumstance that it
must necessarily be right; but in regard to
Douglas there has been something more, Rare
" has it happened that The conduct Of q public
man has met with such distinct and universal
expression Of censnre, unless for sufficient cause.
The Delta further says:
g Either Douglas was influenced by sense Of
duty, of Justice and right in proposing the Ne
braska bill, regardless Of personal consequences,
or be was prompted, as his opponents insinuate,
by the ambition to promote his Presidential as
pirations. M
And it evidently regards the affirmative to
the first of these propositions as the indisputa-
BILE conclusion. We are great stickler for the
incorruptible general character Of that class Of
persons known as politicians, particularly De-
mocratic politicians; but we do believe it pos
sible that Senator Douglas might advocate a
measure solely because he thought it likely to
prove d popular one 4at the end, and to suppose
that he could not be sometimes deceived in this
particular would be according to him degree
of foresight not possessed by many other politi-
clans. Who can believe that he consults only
the benefit Of his country, when five years ago
he labored actively in support Of Benton's great
Pacific Railroad humbug, and during the last
session Of Congress 1abored quite as actively
against measure Of the utmost utility and i'm
portance-the River and Harbor billi
