MR.. SENATOR GREEN'S LETTER AND JUDGE

DOUGLAS.
We find the opposition press publishing largely
to prove that Senator Green thoroughly sustains
Judge Douglas in the present canvass in Illinois.
Mr. Green has now had sufficient opportunity to
understand the exact position of the Illinois senator,
and we feel almost inclined to appeal to him in re-
spectful manner to give his views on the subject to
the public. We feel quite sure that Mr.. Green based
his opinions of the Illinois canvass very much on
what he was led to believe would be the course of
Judge Douglas on his return to his State early in
July and that he, in common with many others, now
regards the attitude of Judge Douglas utterly indie
fensblo. II would be well, then, for the distinguish
ed senator from Missouri at once to relieve the
Douglas press Of the labor they have undertaken in
quoting him as authority to support the course Of
their chief in the present struggle
In truth entertain no doubt whatever but that
Senator Green heartily endorses tho conduct of the
democratic party in Illinois in utterly repudiating
Mr.. Douglas and his factious associates We have
the best for saying that Mr.. Green does
not in any sense sympathize with him or them, and
that he has been greatly disappointed at the course
they have pursued.
parts of the country who had the ampest
from Judge Douglas himself that he would return to
Illinois and open the the basis of the fu-
ture alone. He had repeatedly declared that :" the
dead should bury their dead" that "bygones should
be by.gones.n These declarations made in the
most unreserved manner, everywhere and on nearly
all occasions They inspired confidence in their sin
certy, and gave promise of harmonious future.
How were they redeemed? BY an indscriminate
| assault upon every person who supported the Kan
sas policy of the administration, charging upon them
the commission of high crimes and misdemeanors
with perpetratng gross and monstrous fraud "
1t is highly probable that Mr. Senator Green
of those numerous gentlemen who believed the SEN
ator from Illinois would return to his constituents
and fulfil the just expectations of those who 80 often
listened to his promises and declarations before he
left Washington and thus believing he perfectly
justified in saying what he did of the contest in Hi
nois. This is what we suppose to be the explanation
of the position of Mr. Green and it is in this condeu
view Of the whole case that venture TO suggest
to him the proprety of giving his present opinions
of the matter to the country.

be in his native element il he could but get the COM
mission into broad unending stream of diplomatic
augmentation and would delight if he could do So in
sending charge home two three times for in

accession of administration, when he would
hope to find change in our policy. If the commits
sioner understand himself and does not wish to take
up his residence in Paraguay for diplomatic job of
few years, we venture to predict that we shall see
every dollar of our claims paid in good old Spanish
dollars within one hundred days from the time that
the expedition sails. The expedition itself, aside
from the particular claims prosecuted, will exert a
most healthful influence our South American
relations generally.
