SENATOR DoUGLAs.--Senator Douglas ar
rived in Washington on Friday. We learn
that he does not deny that his sentiments
towards the administration have undergone
an important change; indeed his mind has
experienced a revolution as to General Pierce
and his cabinet.
He considers its policy towards Central
America, pusillanimous and mistaken. The
Walker and Rivas government in Nicaragua,
he SAYS. should have been promptly recognize
ed. and the virtual repudiation of the Clay
ton and Bulwer convention, should not, in
his opinion, have been submitted to congress,
without distinct recommendation as to the
mode of obtaining redress.
Upon Kansas affairs the Illinois politician
is less communicative. This is delicate
ground for him, and he does not 60 into de-
tail concerning it. Bat here, too he con-
demns the course of the administration, and
charges upon it responsibility for the civil
war now impending, and in truth actually
gun in the territory.-N. Y. Times.

The president, it will be remembered, pro-
claimed against Cuban expeditions, yet par
ties went to The Island in spite oft, although
they were butchered after they reached there.
He proclaimed against the Walker move
ment in Lower California, and yet Walker
defied him, although unsuccessful. He "pro-
claimed against Col. Kinney, and yet that
gentleman and his friends sailed, in utter
disregard of it, and reached their destinat tion
in safety. Such will be the result in the pres.
ent instance. This last proclamation will
have no more effect than did the one issued
by Gen. Hall, when he ordered the ever me-
morable halt on the borders of Canada. Gen
Pierce may certainly be styled I" the presi
dent of proclamations.'

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.

GEoRGETowN, Oct. 10, 1857.
We hear Of considerable complaint among
our more consciencious dealers about the i'm
punity with which the law of our corporation
prohibiting the traffic in butter, chickens,
eggs, &c on the Sabbath day, is violated
If we mistake not, the law referred to imposes
fine of $50 upon every offender. AS the Of
fence will, doubtless, be repeated again on
on next Sunday, it is hoped that the officers
will be on hand and endeavor to bring the
offenders to justice. We know, however, that
1t is very difficult matter for the officers to
detect the offenders in all cases but there is
one way in which they may receive aid in
abating the nuisance, and that is for the reli
giOus and moral portion of the community TO
find the offenders out and then refuse to deal
with them.
We have rarely known so little real prop
erty changing hands in our city any previous

months we have heard of no sales of moment,

spIRITOF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union, in commenting upon the fact
that most of the sectional agitation which has
pervaded the North for the last two years has
been kept live upon the false assurance that
the people Of the South wish to force slavery
into Kan as, is glad TO observe that two OF the
southern speakers, Senator Hunter, OF va,
and Mr.. Cobb, of Georgia,) who have visi'eu
the North during the present canvass nave di-
rected special attention to this misrepresen'a-
ton of southern sentiment. The O"i0" says:
"Messrs. Hunter and Cobb represent truth
fully and faithfully the continents VI 'He
overwhelming mass of the southern people, IN
rancIIing the false charge that the South
w;ebss 20 force slavery upon Kansas or upon
anv other Territory or state. Ii lndlviduaIs
oaD he found at the South who cherish diff.
fsrept sentiments, they are mere exceptions,
and rare ones, to the general rule"
OF the Baltimore election, the Union says ::
"It is possible that the result Of this cleo
ton will be hailed by a few Know Nothings in
few localities with fierce exultation. 1t is
also possible that by few it will be regarded
as striking evidence of a revival of strength
in the South, and as the presage Of final suc-
cess in the pending canvass. They are quite
welcome to make all they can out of a capital
so very small and so very disgraceful. At the
last election the Known othings carried Louis
vile, but lost Kentucky. The Democrats of
Louisiana have more than once succeeded in
spite of KNOWN OthiDg success in New Orleans.
Those who are disposed to exult over the late
election in baltimore should wait until the
whole State has been heard from, for the day
of our general triumph is near at hand ~
The InteLIigeaeer says in relation to the
Baltimore election riots:
The shocking scores of violence and blood
shed which accompanied this exercise Of the
popular suffrage will long be deplored not only
by the families and friends Of the deceased and
wounded, but by every honest partisan of free
Government everywhere. By the acknowledge
ment of the Baltimore press both contending
parties shared in the fury and crime Of the
day. The corrective, then, for this sad sub
sidence Into heinous wrong will not DO found
by laying it on this party or on that, or by
drawing sides, but by an upright and resolute
purpose Of the great majority of all parties to
exercise their own rights quietly and peace
ably, without improper interference with
others. Only on such a general concurrence
in an orderly discharge of individual duty can
hopes be built for perpetuity of popular in
stitutions Force and fraud are as certainly
the forerunners Of Il loss of liberty as that the
prevalent disregard Of blessings and privileges
incurs the just retribution Of good and in
suited Providence. Men who deem public
elections TO be occasions for the operation OF
lawless passion ard murderous hate are among
the most dangerous enemies, not only to our
national reputation, but to the very founda.
tons On which freedom, genuinely such, must
ever rest"
