missouri and the south for Douglas.

Those Democratic PAPERS in California, tn
are doing what little they can at this distan
against Douglas and for Lincoln, would do "
to remember that every Republican paper in t.
land is engaged in the same work They shoul
also remember that if they do really think Doug
las is unsound on the negro question, they diffe
with his neighbors of the slave States. A shor
time since delegation of five hundred Dem
Gratis from Missouri, after hearing one of his
ter efforts, endorsed his Democracy as the
inc article. A Tennessee meeting of Der
did the same thing. ~
Indeed, the leading men and papers all
through the South have raised their voices on
the side of the Little Giant"
1t is impossible for them, as patriots, to do
otherwise. They see him in the midst of a fight
engaged in-with an immense host of Black Re-
publicans Abolitionist, and meanest of all, rem
egade Democrats combined against him. They
behold his dauntless bearing, his matches bra
this great danger-they see his sword flashing
as if winged with lightning, as he dashes upon
the enemy, and hear reverberating over the bat
tie field the clarion voice that has stirred the
Democracy to victory so often, as it utters his
war-cry, " The Union-Democracy-
Sovereignty" And as they look and listen, they
forget that they differ with him on some minol
questions of policy, and only remember that the
head of the ,bravest free-State Statesman thai
ever breasted the wave of Abolitionism and Re-
publicanism to protect the rights of the South
is in danger. They only remember that the grea
Douglas, the giant Democrat of the West, is en-
gagged in a struggle in which is involved the ex
istence of a miserable piebald sectional party
candidate in ls60-and, thus remembering, the,
utter stentorian shouts for Douglasl
How different with certain papers and men i
/ this State Here professed Democratic paper
and men say that Douglas is more obectionabl
! than Lincoln. To such we commend the follow
ing editorial from the St. Louis Republican o
| the Goth September:
| The Louisville Journal is calculating on a di
vision between the two houses of the Legisla
ture, in the election of Senator to succee,
Judge Douglas. That is forlorn hope. Th
Senate will contain a majority of Democrats
who will vote for Judge Douglas, come wha
may. The House will be quite sure to do tn
same thing, whatever efforts may be made t.
prevent it. No Democrat in the State She,
interpose to prevent SO auspicious result q
| the contrary, every man who hates Black Re
publicanism as it has exhibited itself in Illinois
| even though he may not be satisfied with every
thing that Judge Douglas has done, should vot
| for candidates who will vote for him, and carr
the State for the Democracy at all hazards
That done, it will be the signal for the dissolu
ton of the mongrel and miserable sectional part
new threatening so much mischief to the Union
and then we shall have peace and good fellow
ship and social intercourse between the peopl
| of all the States of the confederacy Ali goo,
Democrats-all old Whigs-all Americans-al
Union-loving men in Illinois-should unite il
bringing about so glorious result.
