Qrom Fredercksburg (va.) Recorder July 2ol
Read his Chicago speech Instead of dispassionatc
vindcation of his own course find angry assault
upon that Of the democratic party and an especial auda
ton of the Crttenden amendment measure which met
and meted the disgust and opposition OF the democratic
party Can such conduct be construed into anything but
formal of his party connexions, or could
there be emphatic backsding from his political
faith than to oppose its congressional measures and at
forwards to utter their condemnation and aim at their
contavention before the people To be sure the CHI
cago speech contains empty rehearsal of belief In the
cardinal doctrines of democracy but this avails nought
Upon VITAL practical issue, Judge Douglas has proved
himself recusant TO democracy and by his subsequent
has sgnalized and confirmed his apostacy despite
the overtures of lcniency and forgiveness
Aided and supported by portion of his Illinois con-
stituency, and handful of struggling hackers in differ
ent sections of the Union have the pul spectacle
Of this clique arrayed against the administration and the
democratic party. Is not the antithess thus presented
amusing, it deveopes the farccal appearance of pu
ny, insignificant and harmless faction, abusing and
threatening powerful and triumphant organization,
which embraces nation And what is the consequence!
Does anybody believe that the eaves of the democratic
party will bow down and do homage to this miserable
and attenuatcd little wheat straw We trow not Such
is the polite demand which Mr.. Senator Douglas makes
of the party But will they not rather disown and dsa
vow any an al conieA'eti pcew'ol .u w.,

We abide by and support the Cincinnati platforms and
