THE DOUGLAS WELCOME.

We have lived long in the Crescent City and
have witnessed many receptions of public men,
but never before was there a spectacle so glo.
rious, exhlarating and consolatory offered rs
that of the 2d inst on the advent Of Stephen
A. Douglas, when men of every shade Of polit.
ical opinions, forgetfu of past differences, and
the asperties engendcrcd by political contests,
came together joyously, spontaneously, cheer
fully, to welcome the great son of Illinois, the
man whom the Interchangeable constitutionalists
of that noble State had put forward to vlndi-
cate for them and in their name the conStitu.
tiona rights Of the whole people, Irrespective
Of degrees of latitude, the productions Of their
lands, the character of their climate or their
social institutions The true men Of Prairie
land proclaimed to the world their undying de-
voton to the principles upon which this rcpub-
lie is founded, the complete independence and
equality of the people everywhere and their
indefeasable right at all times, and under all
circumstances, to shape and maintain their do
nestle institutions as they may see fit and as
suits their interest and convenience and on this
doctrine Douglas was put forth by them in the
recent conflict, which resulted so auspiciously
for the Union, to announce and maintain. And
he did maintain it as no popular representative
ever had before and in such II manner as to
impress the mind of the entire nation not only
with more exalted ideas of the man and the
statesman, of his cloquence, fcarlessneSs and
sincerity, but of his reliability in any great em.
ergcncy to break down and destroy all unhal.
lowed coalitions against republican equality,
such as that he so lately trampled into the mud
of his own beloved State.
His reception here in this eminently conscrv-
ative Union-loying State, the complete forget
fulness by all persons of past differences and
present political alienations in the universal
desire to do honor to the man whom the peo-
pie of Illinois had selected to champion the
rights of the whole Union, endangered by the
unhoy combination of federal power with fa-
natica daring, and who SO ably, satisfactorily
and successfully vndcated the intnitive wis
dom and excellence Of their choice, is another
conclusive proof that whenever danger threat
enes their institutions or the country, all else
will be forgotten by the people but the mode,
the manner and the acts necessary to protect
and maintain them
1t is well known that we have neither been
the blind admirer nor the partisan adulator of
Stephen A. Douglas we have never wnked
at his errors nor unduly or extravagantly laud-
ed his eminent deserts nor are we now so deep
ly impressed in his behalf as to wish to push
the claims it is so generally conceded he can

A PREDICTION.

One Of the coolest and closest observers of
political augurics writes us the following from
Charleston, :. {. II wish You to record this
opinion now in 1898, and compare it with the
facts to be cvolated between this and | lSGi The
Southern Leagueh has not yet defined its plan Of
action or its ultimatum but whatever else it
does or demands, /, will finally come to this
program. The existing slayc-trade laws will

sovereign State left to decide for itself what

of the Southern people can be relied upon, all
her Representatives in Congress shall withdraw
from the Capitol in one body, and take with
them the Southern members of the Cabinet
and thus leave Congress without II quorum for
business, and the Executive with II muliIated
corps OF advisers. This was Gen Rusk's plan
for dIsSolving the existing Government, and
forcing upon the sectonasts of the North the
onus OF coming some distance and making war
on Southern ground, iflhey attempt to conquer
the Southern States back to the Union by
downright force
"On the ultimatnm of leaving to each State
the exercise of her sovereign right to permit or
prohibit the traffic in African laborerS, the
South will show II united front by 1864, and
its Representatives will he forced to Withdraw
