DOUGLAS nlPAR1IALLY JUDGED.

We who condemn the yillany ofwLich M DOUGLAS
now stands before tie world as the chief advocate,
Nay possibly be accused Of prejudice aud partisan
feeling growing out Of the fact that most if not all
political questions, it has uniformly been our fortune
to be entirely opposed to him But no such accusa-
ton can be brought against lie RepuJicaiH an able
French journal of ths City. which has hitherto been
wont to hold up the Senator from Illinois as great
prophet Of Democracy and universal Progress. His
scheme for the extension OF Slavery is, however, too
much for our French contemporary. Unlike Mr Doug
las and Mr. John Mitchell it's Democracy does not in
clude negro-drivng as one of ts fundamental prnci-
pes and ii reyOls st the last intrigue Of this smallest

Ambition 10 be President is the Why Mr Douglas
aims to repeal the Compromise of 1870 To constitute him
self the spogist snd rropoeandst of Slavery wearing at
the time the badge of mocrey is for the purpose
ofcschng Southern votes The desire to be Chief Mags
ste ofthe Republic him TO rampe on right justice
and Liberty with the same end others before MIR Douglas
have acted similarly Did not Daniel Webster contribute
in 1850 to ADOPT eyecrable laws in favor Of Slavery which his
conscience must have condemned and his intelligence doubt
les rcctedl Hs conscience certainly for know nothing
more cruel in human history than the exrGdon Of ugves
claiming their ngnsbe liberty and that with less Formally
than nr storing dog pig which has escaped an in
coure His intelligence say likewise for that was TOO
keen for him TO comprehend that the privilege accorded
to the Territories of Utah and New Mexico to establish
Slavery the north Of 9Go 3d. would not fal to be inter

NJ Douglas probably has 10 struggles with q conscience
