1860,

douglas mas Duue an ultra pro-
lavery speech at Springfield, Illinois, which is
t this time, seeing that the Administration
Ices not give the radical Southern wing per-
ect guarantee that Kansas shall DO a Slave
State, warmly commended by the more radical
30 slavery journals, and its author set up in
contrast with Buchanan. The New York
Herald, sheet well posted behind the curtain,
out Of very doubtful integrity. says that this is
evidently tie official opening bid Of the Pierce
and Dougas Democratic wing for the next
Presidency adding
" W. 4~Sh here the open sesame of Mr.. Dou-
sas to the. White House, and its immense treas.
ures of nehundred millions of public plumber
per annum. And what is this open sesame? 1t
is the clearly foreshadowed position of Douglas
rs favoritt OF the Southern ultras and his ex-
movement for the Southern inside
track for lie succession, in direct hostility to
the just AMI conciliatory policy of Mr. Buchan-
ans administration.
The nunperless little " dogs" all over the
country, new fed with the crumbs which chance
to fall from their masters table, find it hard to
serve Buchanan and obey Douglas, but between
silence AND tascillaton they dodge along, and
will be reay to support Douglas for 1860
while the fore determined bull dogs, who have
incurred displeasure Of the Administration,
and haya {ss rotated out do not hesitate to

We have yet to see the first attempt at
jusifcatioN of Robert j. Walker S policy in any
Journal south Of Virginia. On the contrary,
the organs of every party are unanimous in the
conviction Of his treaehery, and vehement in
denunciation Of his intrigues with the Adolf
tionists But that's not all. The democratic
masses are beginning to move in the matter.
At recent Congressional Convention in Geor-
gia. series of resolutions condemnatory OF
Walker were adopted by the democracy. They
speak the sentiment Of the people Of this State,
of whom not one man in five hundred will VEN

Abiding to Douglas speech, it says:
"Any man Of ordinary intelligence can dis
cuss particular measure with tolerabIe ability;
but to perform the task ass gned to Senator Dou-
glas. and to perform it erediably-out of the
multitude OF topics great and small, which en-
gage public attention, to ect the issues which
really dominate the popular mind and determine
the tendencies Of the tme-to group these
questions into Il clear and compact combination,
and to present them distinctly and satisfactorily
before the country. without slurring over any
important point or descending into too minute
details to do this, aud to do it well, is IL very
rare achievement OF oratory No one can read
even the meagre report Of Senator Douglas
Springfield Speech, and deny him the praise OF
complete success in this most difficult operation
In the first place, all will agree that the matters
which be selects for consideration are just now
the matters OF gravest moment to the American
people Kansas, Utah, and the bred Scott de
cision, are undoubtedly the controlling political
inhuerces Of the day. Then, with what direct.
ness o purpose with what luminous order ii
statement and with what conciseness and power
Of argument, dees he strip these questions Of al
irrele'aul association, and present them before
the popular mind in the simplicity of absolute
reason. An unbiased jn gnent can no more
resist his conclusions than u cultivated inteli
gence can refuse its homage to the ability Of hi
| performance.

IF Government officials will bolster up
through patronage of this kind, and give semi
official endorsement to those sheets which hav,
80 long endeavored and still desire to plant thei
heels on the nccks Of the Democracy, md thu
virtually act as agents for the circulation 0
Black " Republican newspapers-giving then
character position and strength-and by such
means checking the dissemination Of Democratic
truths through the active circulation of Demo
cratic papers, they can expect nothing else thar
to he placed in disagrecable positions, beside
having the suspicion resting upon them of en-
couragng and attening the enemies of Democ
raev at the expense Of friends 1t should b.
corrected altogether.
Had Mr.. Buchanan appointed men to oific
who were interested in the success Of Demo
cratic principles, they would not build up Abo
lition newspapers by their patronage Bu
when men arc given Offices who only care fo
their own selfish interests, they will, Of course
court every mercenary ally who will con ribut
to their own personal success.
Mr. Buchanan owes it as dur
to the Democratic party to rebuke these men
for if II goes Oh much longer the pub ic will b
forced to the unwilling conclusion that he de
liberately sustaius them
In more recent issue, the one of July 4th
we find the following:
1.-The great speech of Hon. S A. Douglas a
Springfield, Ill O., is Justly creating great sensl
ton We ask such northern Democratic paper
as the Detroit Free PrtsS, who have read tn
Day Book out of the Democratic party, 10 sery
Senator Douglas in the same way The distn
guished Senator endorses the position of tn
Day Book fully and we are glad we have on
man bold enou ,gh to assume so advanced pos
ton "
Now to show what the position of the Da
Book is, which will also give us the position
Douglas in his card for 1860, we quote frol
its leading articles in its issue Of July 4th
- considerable portion of the party polit
clans and presses Of the North have condemne
the course of this purnal, and some of thel
have even had the saly assurance to set then
selves up as conscieace-keepers to the Democrs
cy, and declare that the Day Book had no at
thoriiy or right whatever, to speak for tn
party as they themselves were the regula
and authorized organs the only orgini
Jacobs Of the whole concern.
We held and do hold that so-called SLAYER
or social subordnatiun of the negro is right
right per se-rght in the nature of things
that it exists all over, wherever white men an
negroes are in juxtaposiloa and is not positivel
prohibited by the local law; that the Terrific
