The press especially the press of France is nothing

the French disappointed at the turn things have
taken in India. They had hoped for the fall humiia
ton of their old and successful rival in the East and
are surprised at the energy displayed by people whose
military skill and power they had grown to despise.
There is little question that the nations of continental

THE KING OF PoRTUGAL.-An anecdote of the King
of Portugal is going the rounds of the Lisbon coffee
houses Report says that Don Pedro the other evening
visited the French play but left the theatre before the
end of of the performance and on entering the carriage
told the servants to proceed to the Fever Hospital at
Santa Catharina On arriving at the entrance it is said
that the King gave orders to the Porter that no notice
of his coming should be given and at once entered the
wards Here he had an opportunity of seeing the actu
al state of the hospital without the necessary arrange

early opportunity to actively to the aid of the
administration against the Walker detection. One of
the distinguished Senator's abest speeches just now
would do much good and scatter the last vestige of

Nothing could be more gratifying to his constituents or
credable to himself We sincerely hope that the rumor
of his purpose is well founded and that the CLEAN of his
powerful batteaxe descending swift and thick will soon

Senator Douglas.

There is a medium in all things Hasty judgments
and sweeping denmciatons neither apt to hit this
medium, nor to do Justice.
Stephen A. Douglas, Of Illinois, has for years stood
high in the affections of the Southern people, and he has
deserved to stand high He has done good service il
the cause Of constitutional equality and the South asks
nothing more than equality under the Constitution
He has fought abolitionsm in its homes at the
North with an energy and ability certainly not supas
ed by any, and certainly eoualled by few Is it COM
mon Justice policy to rush out into unqualified
and unmitgated denuncatiOn of such man-tO forget
or ignore his long years Of service-tO deprecate his
biitiegto mderrae his exerOnstO Willy his motives
without the fullest examination and the most thorough
conviction? We would not judge an enemy so-hoW
mueh less ought we to act so towards one who has al
ways been friend ~
Now upon the policy to be pursued in regard to Kan
saq, Mr. Douglas differs from the President, and from
fine GREAT BODY of the Southern Senators and Represen
tatiyes. Remember, it is simply question OF Pol1cy
and although we think Congress had better admit Nan
qas on the Ipcompton Constitution and so get rid OF the
matter: and although in this we differ from Senator
DOUGLAS still we cannot for our lives see anything IN his
course amounting to an abnegaton of principle or to an
utilization with the enemies Of the South There is no
thing in his recent declarations to justify the sweeping
denunciaon of aposacy There are objections to the
action of the IRcomptOn Convention serious objections
but not in our opinion fatal Objections such as ough
TO prevent the admission of Kansas State, and the re
moya of the whole vexed question from the broad Arena
of the country to cOntne to the small ana local arena

The opponents of Slavery Extension ia Connect
cut have saved their State Administration BY few
hundreds of votes and lost two Members of Con-
gress when it was of the highest Importance TO
save them, because they allowed themselves to
be placed in false position. The stormy day
Of election deprived them of thousands of votes:
but il would not have done so had the great issue
been plainly and simply before the People. Sup
pose it had raned torrents last November Election
materially diminished
The ticket opposed to Pro-Slavery aggression
was christened "UniOn''-that is. = union of =" Re
pubHcans" and Americans" But this 90 Union
was a sham and snare--it did not secure the vote
of single Pro-Slavery Know-NOthing, while it
repealed hundreds of European-born Republicans,
who were ready to vote to enfranchise all men, but
not to seem TO acquiesce in any project which in
spirit DISTINGUISHED themselves. They did not mean
to vote that any portion of the human race born
and living in this land of light and liberty "have
mo rights which white men were bound to re-
'spect; but they could not forget that they them
selves had rights and were bound to maintain them.
Hence the State was nearly lost through cross
purposes and ambiguous ssues-StoningtOn, Water
bury, Bridgeport, &c, being carried by an open
coalition of Fillmore Americans with the Sham
Democracy, while New-Hayen was thrown against
us by the solid array Of the adopted citizens, many
Of whom are Republicans in sentiment and would
have been so in act but for their adherence of
Know-Nothng prescription.
The opponents of the Slave Democracy in Con-
necticut cannot remain under this cross-fre; they
must face one way or the other. They can place
themselves in line with the great living party OF
the Free States, or they can identity themselves
with the putrefying remains Of by-gOne party
which is not now predominant in single State of
the Union, and whose remaining managers are now
plotting and bargaining, slanderng aud stabbing
private character, in q desperate effort to carry
over their late followers to the camp Of the Slave
Democracy. In the whole Union there is to-day
one practical, vital, overshadowng issue-the sur
render Of the Federal Territories to Slavery their
preservation for Free Labor He who is for Free
Labor exults over such results as have recently
been achieved IN Wisconsin, Michigan, ST. Louis,
Lea'enworsh, &C., and neither asks nor cares
whether the yictOrs were all born in this country
or part of them in Europe; while be who would
open our whole National Domain to Slavery does
not care one button whether his coworkers in that
cause rally under the banner Of Sam or that Of
Sham, for there is no practical difference. The
