From the Union of yesterday,

Senator Douglass never tires in his exertions
for the maintenance of Democratic principles
and the triumph of the Democratic party. Stand
ing conspcuously before the country as the author
of the Nebraska BILL in which was involved the
great question Of congressional non-intervention,
he has dedicated his best energies for the last two
years to the support and defence of that principle
against the incessant assaults of agitators. He is
now engaged in canvassing his own State, and
we see, with qualification, that he is hailed with
enthusiasm. throughout his tour. The Chicago
Times says:
"The tour of Judge Douglass through the
middle and southern counties seems to be afford
ing the lveliest qualification to the Democracy
throughout the State. We have received letters
from various sources, in all Of which his recep-
ton, in the different towns he has visited, is de-
scribed as being of the most enthusiastic descrip-
