Douglas IN n Tight place.

~
Mr.. Sturgeon, Buchanan's Sub Treasurer
in st. Louis, says in his letter to the pub
lie that Frank Blair wrote letter to Gratz
Brown OF the Democrat last winter, stating
that Douglas was cooperating with the Re-
publicsns and avowed himself friend 81
Blair for the United States Senate in opposi.
ton to Jim Green. He says:
81 call upon him, (Mr. Blair,) and cal
upon Mr.. Colfax, OF Indiana to state wheth.
or Mr.. Blair did not receive an invitation
through Mr.. Colfax, member Of Congress
from Indiana, to call upon him, Douglas
and whether the message Is it came to him
from the lips Of Judge Douglas was not
"Tel Mr.. Blair wish to see him wish tc
give him Jim Green's place in the United
States Senate?" call upon MIR. Blair t.
state oil that took place at that interview.
Whereupon the Missouri Republican OF
horts Blair not to keep the democracy in sus.
pense in regard to this grave charge. Mr.
Blair does not respond to this appeal but the
Democrat says:
aMr. B air authorizes US to say that be
stands ready to make good oil the statements,
whatever they may be, in his letter, whenever
any Of them shall be denied by Senator
Douglas. He does not consider himself un-
der any obligationsto say, either for the sat
isfaction of the Republican, or any other per-
son "laboring under difRculties," whether
the puport Of the letter has been given cor
or not. If, however, Mr.. Douglas shall APP
peal to him to state whether the letter 10 cor
rectly given or not, We have no doubt that
Mr.. Blair will speak out at once"
Now Mr.. Douglass must either call upon
MIR. Blair for the facts or admit the state
ment made By Mr.. Sturgeon. What will be
do?

CiaGoeI and the Administration
MEssRs. EDIToRs: In one of Judge Clag-
ett's characteristic harangues to the bar
few days since, in open Court, he stated,
amongst other things, that some rapscaliion
had written an article abusing him that the
author signed himself "a Buchanan Demo.
craft" but that there were precious few Blu
chanan Democrats in this country, any way,
and they were not Of much account. This
language was made use of by the Court in
the most derisive manner. Geo. r. Todd,
ESQ.,, an Administration Democrat, arose and
protested against the Court making any such
decision, or remarks from the bench in ref
erence to the Administration or Buchanan
Democrats.
Judge Clagett may think that everybody
has lost confidence in Buchanan, and that he
can make votes BY abusing him but know
the President has friends yet in the country,
and ! think the Judge will disgust oil parties
by his elsc.ioneering speeches on the bench.
When Judge degrades bis official position,
by using it to cast unjust impusations upon
the President whom his own party has elesa-
ted to power, be loses all claim upon the
members Of that party for support.
There are not a few Democrats in this Vi
entity who take this view Of the subject, and
submit it to the Democracy OF the District.
Surely Democratic who sustain or hold Office
under the Administration, cannot think OF
voting for Judge Clagets after this DECLARE
ton OF his, made purposely to gain Republi-
can votes.
| We can now see how and why il was tina,
he and his friends defeated the calling Of !
Democratic Convention. They wanted to
carry water on both shoulders they wanted
when opportunity offered, to renouncs thu
Democratic faith, and induce Republicans tc
support them. A DrxocaAr.
