Us Even the Southern papers prefer the
election of the Abolitionist, Lincoln, to that
Of Stephen \. Douglas, to the U. s Senate
from. Illinois This is indeed carrying malg-
nant vengeance to an extreme. The conduc-
tors of the Southern press must be going
mad. They have always warred. to the
death against the anti slavery party of the
North, and hated the very ground upon
which an Abolitionist walked. And now
they desire to see Lincoln elected in the place
of Stephen A Douglas Was ever so mean
and contemplate spirit exhibited? Why
do they thus hate him? Because he as A
Democratic Senator, would not consent to
violate Democratic principles for the sake
OF making Kansas a slave State. and because
he dared to carry out the principle of the
Kansas Nebraska Bill, in the face of the
whole South, and defeated the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution.
They have not the greatness of soul to ad.
mire such an adherence to principle. They
know well that he cared nothing. whether
Kansas were slave or free, but that he did
care everything as to whether the grcat
Democratic doctrine of popular sovereignty
should prevail They hate him because he
had the manhood to say to the Administra.
ton, "You shall not, with my consent, prosti.
tute the great Democratic party of this Union
to mere sectional purposes-itis is party for
the @hote country and not a part of it"
ANOTHER PEEP BEHIND THE cuRrAIN.-The
easy virtue of the Lecompton supporters of
President Buchanan, in his late miserable
Kansas policy, has been from time to time
exhibited, by various revelations in the pa-
pers. They acted, in voting for the Lecomp,
ton iniquity, in direct opposition to all their
former notions and opinions, and great indeed
must have been the inducements which could
thus have made them run into p,int blank
encounter with their own firm-seated convic-
tions. Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania. was
one OF those somewhat notorious patriots. He
wrote to secretary Stanton, then in Kansas
on the l4th of August, 1857, ns follows on
the subject Of the submission of the Lecomn.
ton Constitution to the vote of the people
as contended for by Walker:
Make my special regards to Governor
Walker and say to him THAT lie HAS THE por.
ULAR HEART WITH HIM THROUGHOUT THE couv.
TRY EXCEPT ONLY THE EXTREME SourH Sould
his programme succeed, he WILL HAVE Tur
MOST ENNIAbLE PROMINENCE OF ANY MAN IN THE
NATION The administration IS a little wcok
at the knees, and ,oifces under the Southern
thunder, 6W they must stand up to tie ,cork.
But the President didn't stand up to the
work. He weakened. and so did good easv.
going Senator Bigler. Is it for such men to
talk about the integrity of the Democratic
party, and undertake to "read out" from the
ranks of the organization men who have
grown with the very growth of Democratic
principles and strengthened with their
trengthY We certainly think not
