DorPlas and the Pres;dancu

Th" New York W"r"d gives the following.
reasons for thinking HAT Douglas stands n
snail chance Of sccuriu. the nomination Of ,he
Democratic party. This triumph in Illinois has
been effected by rcnn:ciaiion Of the PRINCIPLES
of his party, and is. in fict Il triumph over
the Administration, III" avowcd cxponen! Of its
creed Ills success $" far from allaying will
tend to aggravaIc the divisions Of the rar,v
and he is not the niln, t" rcunite it scattered
forces:
"tfst, with regard {" Mr.. Douglas After a
State caInrngn involving an unprecedented
amount OF hard labor, and an exI,.ndi,urc i,
money, perhaps, oftw" or three hundred tbou.
sand dollars on his Iart and in his behalf h.
has sec'ire1lt Is said, majority in both bran
ciics oi the Legislature which is to pass upon
the q,I stion. his reelection TO tie Scunle
1t is ella lined that he has thus mad. ,ooJ th
endorsement of his State as chum,iop or
democratic principles, over bnl his Black Re-
l'Hbliean Competitor and a Democratic Admin
'stFatien The great feature of this alleged
truph, the feature which. it. is assumed iunEcs
Air. Douglas henccf"rth the arbiLcr Of tc Dem
1cralic party, Is cH'h"lird it appears, in his
delGat OF the administration, and an Admins
lstration, to" which s Recognized as the rcprc.
seiitutIve a"i executive head Of the ulnciples
and policy ofihe Democratic party.
'.N6Y, if the Administration and the bulk
o!Ms Democratic party supporting it were an.
nihilatcd hv this ILLINOIS election thcre wonId
he some degree Of pla,Isil,iity ia thtsc Douglas
reloiclngs. But, III point OF fact. all that Mr.
Douglas asgained (if he l,as gained even tl,isl
islils re. election to the Scnntc The important
issds. whether he or ihc Administration i Tho
head OF the Democratic party of the Union re-
rIains as bcfore--on the side Of tie Administers
tio'i. Nor can We imagine how n E,ctious rebel
lion, which has given every Northern State TO
tho opposition, including even Illinois upon
her State tickct--a rebellion which has hone
]essly distracted the Democratic party in the
North, and almost llopclessly dcmoralized it's
leaders i'm the Soutii-cnn be considered ns IN
volying, in the rc-e eetion Of douglas TO the
Senate, the uIfion of The Democracy upon this
nian--thc head ofthis 'cbclion-as their inc.
vituble and only available candidate for the
next PRESIDENCY.
And thus we apprelIend that Tho defeat of
Douglas ip illinois would have been better for
lin,;a ms o democrat, than his success His sue.
cess encourages the rebellion and tue discords
which lie has created In the party camp: but
not until his prominent followers. such as Walk.
er, Stanton, Forney, Clark and IIaskin shall
have risen 10 the. position Of leaders of the
harmonized, ,demQcrary, will Douglas be resto.
red to the position winch he has lost He is
further of from the Presidency than ever be-
fore md all attemptto thrust him forward for
theisuycesson, instead Of healing, will only ng-
gr1yats tie difsansions ip the camp which he

Mississippi.

The Mississippi Legislature" convened on ilc
lst inst. Hon. James Dranc was elected rrrs;-
dent of ihr Senate" and Hon. j. L. Antrv,
Speaker tn. House. The Gov cruurs mes.
sagr is very long, ard entirely devoted to
State affairs. lie recommends q lax of of
one per cent, upon all the taxable property of
the State for !cvce purposes, and similar tax
in aid Of railroads. \ series of r.soIntio joins of
political character offered to the Senate, were
tabled for special consideration.
The first resolution Of the series mant aiucJ
that ns it had been the practice of Congress
here. oiorc, to admit Territories into the uion
ns States. without the proper ratio "f pnI.l !.
ti"n {" entitlc them tn u representative; Kan
sas should have been admitted under the lie.
copmton Constitution aud Senate bill. The
second resolution holds that hcrcaiic or no Terri
tory should be admitted until it has ti,ercunis,c
population. The third, TINT none but native
and naturalized citizens be allowed to vote i'm
Territories. The fourth. that the Territories
OF the Union are common property, and that
all citizens have the equal domestic social and
political rights. and that sIua,tcrisln prohbi-
ting the introduction of slavery, j. unconstiu.
tional. dangerous, and opposed to the bred Scott
decision. The fifth resolution maintains that
at the adoption Of the Federal Constitution,
every State which formed the Union save one,
tolerated and rractsed slavery, and ns slave
property is rcconizcd by the Constitution md
Holy Bible, it is therefore an institution legal.
ly and morally right, aud hence the law of
Congress, making T. slave trade piracy,
should be repealed. The sixth resolution was
that the Governor be requested t6 forward u
copy of the foregoing resolution to each Missis.
sippfdeligate in Congress.
