JUDGE DOUGLAS ACCOMMODATED TIL,
Southern leaders have determined to breal
with Judge Douglas forever. The quarrel be
tween him and them is mortal.
The star of Wednesday, betrays their feel
ings ahd their intentions. The Star says /:
'ilt we are not mistaken III our comprehen
sion of the DRIFT OF his remarks, he is prepared
TO separate himself at once and forever, W
fear, from the old friends to whom we refe
above, on the great question which is to b
the main dividing issue between parties in thi
country for the next decade. Nothing politi
cal could be more distressing to us than t
torese0 such future for the honorable Sena
ator. But, toreseeing it, it is our duty to stat
the fact thus plainly to the Stars readers.''
Again the Star says.
"There can be no halfway position ON tn
Kansas question as il has been precipitate
on the National Administration and Congress
Those occupying common platform with lei
erence to it, side by side with Senators Sew
ard and Hale, cannot be regarded az hereaite
entitled to Democratic ielIowship."
