BIZ telegraph we are informed of the arrival
of the Empire City, at New York, from Havana.
Douglas and wife were passengers. The steam
er arrived in the night Douglas and his wife
landed and proceeded to their hotel unannounc-
ed NOta demonstration after all that was intend
cd. So much for a night arrival. Itmay-that
very night arrival-may make or unmake Doug
las for go. Buchanan's New York reception
in 1855, on his way home from England, is sup,
posed to have made him President Per con.
ira, Fimore's blow out on his arrival from his
foreign travels is supposed to have inflated him
TO such fatal degree, as to have been the cause
of that silly Albany speech he made, which
speech, together with the fact that he couldn't
have been elected no how, is supposed to have
extinguished him. But Douglas, poor man,
we imagine he felt blue and down cast as he
came up New York bay, and saw ''nary" bon
fire nor heard "nary' boom nor shout of We Com
mon Council reception committee He no doubt
stood on the quarter deck, with she, who was
once Miss Coutts, by his side, both 'awatchin"
for an Anti-Lecompton symptom. But there was
no symptom. Not one. Considering that Doug
was to be fete, was arranged to be the great
entering wedge of great impressure at WASH
ington, and from thence to all parts of the COM
pass, this landing in the dark and the drizzle
from the steamship Empire City, on last Tues
day night, cannot, by ordinary human standard,
be considered other than sort of i'll boding
failure. Then think of what the man has got
to face when he gets to Washington City. To
say nothing about Old Buck-his standing and
implacable enemy-there awaits, perhaps, as
Tom Corwin once said, "to welcome him with
bloody hands to a hospitable grave"-Senators
Slidell and Jones; Jones particularly. The
Little Giant" has been playing off upon his old
confederates in the matter olland grant swindleS,
and they have turned upon him and fastened
the lie direct and indirect upon him. Trouble
thickens fast upon Douglas nowadays There
are streaks of sunshine that seem to play round
his pathway POliticaily-yet, to the careful
reader and observer of the signs of the times,
they are greatly outnumbered by the shadows
that fit crosswise every and then from the
lowering clouds. Wanting, so entirely, in moral
principles us Douglas has within the last few
months shown himself to be, we should not be
surprised to sec him sink rapidly from his con-
spicuous position before the public.
