SYMPTOMS OF REBELLION. - The
Philadelphia Press closes long arti-
Gle upon the South's denunciations of
Senator Douglas with the following in
timation that the Northern wing Of the
Democracy are becoming little dis
contented:
We are patient people, over this
way. We have seen the South and its
allies opposing MIR. Buchanan's nomi-
nation, and doubling his devotion to
them we have stood calmly by, and
witnessed their rule in Kansas, trusting
the while, like submissive and enduring
men, to the approaching recognition Of
the will of the majority; we have heard,
with unruffled temper, the objurations
of legislators and politicians in some of
the slave States against such Democrats
as Walker and Stanton, because they
would not become parties to forgery in
Kansas /; and now we are expected to
bear the additional outrage upon Judge
Douglas, and to see Governor Walkers

"Tnx DETECTION OF DOUGLAS" - Under
this caption the Richmond South Of Satur-
day, the 18th instant, devotes q column of
denunciation to MIR. Douglas, and closes
with the following &c frst-rate notice -
eve are no longer allowed to entertain q
doubt Of Senator Douglas determination to
abandon the Democracy and enlist in the
service of the Black Republican party. In
his speech of last Wednesday, he not only
reproached tho President with the utterance
Of radical and essential error in the Mes
sage, but distinctly declared himself cham
pion Of Black Republican interests in the
Kansas controversy. OF course this apos-
tacy was greeted with the unaffected APP
plause of the party to which the Senator
from Illinois so suddenly transfers his allie
glance. Seward and Hale bore the most
CONSPICUOUS part in the ceremony of initia-
ton, but all Pandemonium welcomed the
lost spirit with an energetic grasp of friend
ship, while hallelujahs resounded from every
-slaveryspape in the hireling States.
&C We cannot affect Indifference at the
treachery of Senator Douglas. He was .
politician of considerable promise. Associ-
alton with Southern gentlemen had SMOOTH
ed down the rugged vulgarities Of his early
education, and he had come to BE quite .
decent and we'll behaved person."
