| Taa DovsLAs DEnossrRArroH.-1nt the list

rl1onstratior in New Orleans We find the
names Of such Democrats" as George G,

suppose the list is made up of such.-.aduocats

No doubt OF it. Whenever at Old Line
Wing orAmericsn can SO far forget his dignity
| and self respect as to permit his name to ap-
| pear in a list of names, in the heading oil
| which the words, " we, as Democrats Of New
Orleans appears, they deserve to be treated
| with all the contumeIy such base desertior
Of their once expressed principles, deserves,
There ale others in the list besides those
| mentioned in the -idroeats whose names we
never expected to see in a document where
I'VE, as Democrats" appear. New Orleans
seems to be wonderfully susceptible of aatte-
~, adu|ation and humbuggery. Suppose
STEPHEN A. DouGLAz had failed in Illinois,
and a Black Republican returned to Congress
in his stead, would the consistent people Of
New Orleans have beloved, shouted and
hurrahed over his electiona Il seems to US
as plain as the MONDAY sun that the people
of that city have been making ninnys OF
themselves over Stephen a, DOUGLAS. the
great defender and proTnuIgator Of the famous
C~-4+u,C ,.,r&, 3,.k-,,, .-l;,1 e,,3l.l
the South out Of the election Of q MAN, a
PATRIOT and STATESMEN, in the person Of
WILLARD F~lLLMoRE; aid yet he is received
with open arms-with congratulations from
thousands, the thunder Of artillery and the
fawnlugs of man-worshinpeEs-in a city en-
tirely antagonistlcal to everything Demo-
cratic. When DOUGLAS becomes President,
as we believe he VIII, the Sonth will have
occasion to regret their frantic ontnourinss,
particularly in the yindication of the doctrine.
THAT whatever the Court may decide as
to the abstract question Of slavery, the people
OF a territory still have a right, under my
Nebraska bill, to practically nulliiy it BY
unirieniiy Observation-Disclosures Freport
Speech.
~ do not hold that because the negro is our
inferior that therefore he ought to be our
slave. By 10 means eau such a conclusion
be drawn. On the contrary, | hold that hu-
mainly and christianity both require that the
negro shall have and enjoy every privilege,
every immunity, etc, etc"
Again" We have settled the slavery CUES
ton as tar as we are concerned we have pro-
hibited it III Illinois forever. and IN doing so |
think we have done wisely. and there is no
man in the State who would be more strenu-
Gus in bis opposition to the introduction Of
slavery than | WOULD t"-Ouuuu Speech.
"They tell NE | am not a Democrat. be-
cause | assert that the people OF a territory,
as we'll as those OF a State, have a right to
or cannot exist in such territory."-Alton
Speech.
Let the great principle of popular sove~
reisnty which underIies our republican insti-
buttons be carried out in good faith in the
States and TERRITORIES ~alike."-Speseh at
Chicago, Nov. l1h.
Better Black Republican sentiments we do
not want. SEWARD and GgsELY:s sentiments
accord harmonious with those Of Mr.. DouG-
LAS; and yet a Southern city, with a large
majority oil anti-Democratic voters, to be So
blind tn Southern interests, as to uphold a
man of S, A. DOUGLAS character. is an eng
ma we cannot ~unravei.
