Where Judge Douglas is classed we are not
informed Whether he is among the riders,
acrobats' sgymnasts, 'voltigeurs 'equilibrist'
'calisthcnists, or ono of the three clowns, the.

weighing not more than 1876 pounds, or whether
he is toplay the part of one of the 'quadrppedal

accession to the Company makes necessary.
/ |. DOUGLAS AS A DEMocRAT.
In this character which the Judge has not
lately assumed, he will be seen in the act of del
flying the Missouri Compromise and pushing
aside the t'ruthless hand" that would destroy
it. This used to be received with thunders of
applause.

his progress, be tho engagement long or short
