WHAT PRODUCED THE SUDDEN

SENATOR DOUGLAS TOWARDS

OI1 hNuE lN lllE OOOAbIS VI
SENATOR DOUGLAS TOWARDS
KANSAS?
The following from the Washington
correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette,
will perhaps answer the above query:
at Is easy to understand, however, why
the very Little Giant is embarrassed just
at this time. Next Spring an election will
take place in Illinois for the Legislature,
which will have the power to return or re-
ject him for the seat he now occupis. He
remembers with some acuteness how Illi-
nois spurned the treachery involved in the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
that adnonition instructs him to beware of
repeating the experiment, with an issue ag-
gravated by outrage, bloodshld, perjury
and a dreary catalogue Of crime. This
fact may serve to explain his sudden zeal
for the popular cause in Kansas, qualified
as it is with conditions which render il
nearly impotent for good. On the Other
hand, his Presidential aspirations stand in
the way Of the proposed course, since BIZ
chief support lies at the South, and all hi,
policy has leaned in that direction. Blu
he has not yet forgotten how his sacrifice
were recompensod at the Cincinnati Con
vention, and may be inclir ed to believ
from the evidences Of the Inst Presidential
election, there is yet north it may be pol
itic it may be polite to propitiate. ]
Judge Douglas would reflect little, h
might soon discover that the very suspicio
Of doubt in which his position is involve
has already poisoned the mind and rivete'
the prejudices of the South, and that ever
: step which he now takes towards reconci
iation will be followed by the same degre
