WHAT rs THE pIFFERENcE /,

MIR. Douglas is o selfnominated candidate for re-
election to thc Senate by the Legislature of Illinois,
He asks the democracy of that State to sustain him
and to endorse his opposition last winter to the
President and the democratic members Of the Sem
ate and House of Representatives, He has made
that issue 1t is not party contest it is whether
he shall be sustained in his apostacy In other words,
Mr.. Douglas Joined the opposition during the last
session of Congress, and he now demands that his
conduct achs fighting IN their ranks, shall be ratified
and confirmed, or repudiated by the people of his
State. If the democracy sustain him, they have
sure thing Of it with Lincoln and Douglas as candi-
dates, for had the former occupied Judge Douglas
seat in the Senate he would doubtless have voted
precisely as Douglas did. Would the democracy of
Illinois endorse Trumbull on the issue presented 7
Why express dissatisfaction with Trumbull, who
voted uniformly with Douglas and confidence in
Douglas, who voted uniformly with Trumbu 1t
must be remembered that the Lecompton issue in
Illinois is one of Judge Douglass own making. He
asks for special endorsement purely ON the strength
of his opposition to that measure. Then why APP
prove Douglas and condemn Trumbull I? Why
fear Lincoln, who would certainly have acted as
Douglas We oppose Lincoln because we know he
is republican, and had he been in the Senate would
have voted with Trumbull and Douglas We oppose
him because he is an abolition agtator, assailing the
decision of the Supreme Court Of the United States
in order to keep open the slavery issue. Judge
Douglas is doing the same thing. a.il Hes

cratic nominees Messrs Drew and Johnson have been
elected In the first district the vote will be close
owing to the outrageous frauds practsed upon us in

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH HIM,

Some OF our political friends have expressed the
opinion that, in treatment of Judge Douglas, we
have not been mindful enough of the principles of
charity aud the Christian doctrines of forgiveness
We transfer to our columns to-day an article from
the Mobile Register complaining, on the other hand
of an excess Of liberaty towards the Illinois sena-
tor, and Of disposition our part to mitigate the
measure OF punishment justly due to his transgres-
sons. The Register will pardon us for the manifes-
tation of any undue humanity in this respect when
say, that we hold to the strictest maintenance of
party fidelity and to the severest exactions of pen
ance for offences committed against the common or
ganization. We do not, however, see it to be our
duty to set aside the whole system of atonement and
to thrust at once all offenders into the inner dark
ness Of perpetual despair. We plead even in this
respect in behalf of the senator from Illinois. As
representative of the democracy of the Union, he
has forfeited all confidence in his integrity and vir-
tue He has broken the commandments, derided
the faith set aside the rituals and violated the moral
sense of the whole congregation. He is no longer
worthy to be the expounder of our doctrines the
adviser of our people, their representative in the
councils of the nation. Then let his constituents
strip him of the surplice revoke his commission dis
arm him of authority That is all we can ask and
we appeal to the Register to modify it's Indignation,
80 that, by repentance and well doing, Mr.. Douglas
hereafter may associate with the democracy

[From the Wilmington N. o. Journal H
At a DISCUSSION between Judge Douglas and Mr.. Linz
coin, recently held at place in Illinois called Ottawa
the following question and reported Mr. Lin
coin asked Judge Douglas Can the people Of the United
States territory in any lawful way against the wish Of
any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from
their limits prior to the formation of State consttu
tom To this Mr.. Douglas replied II answer emphat
ically Mr.. Lincoln has heard me answer hundred
times every stump in Illinois, that in my opinion, the
people of Territory can, by lawful means, exclude sla
very before il comes in State This Is at variance
with the principles laid down by the Supreme Court in
the bred Scott case with those avowed by the President
in his annual message with those entertained by the
whole southern democracy. 1t Is, in our opinion, rad
cally unsound. Ii won't begin to do for our use. We
could do nothing for Mr. Douglas in his local contest
do not wish to do anything against him in favor of Lin
coin but II in Illinois, and sounder
out should vote for him. with the prospect of
defeat gt r.
The doctrine of the Supreme Court is that the right to
hold property in slaves exists under the constitution of
the United States and that the negation of that right
must be effected by positive enactment constitutional or
legislative, under competent authority that is under
sovereign authoritythe authority of State The doe
tne of the democratic party is that each Territory when
forming constitution has the right TO decide the ques

and property and advancing its interests under me
consolation Of he United States, il is yet bound to protect the

This squatersm is neither the doctrine OF the cons

after this avowal of Mr. Douglas the people of the South
will care far less for his success over Lincoln.
