Gjority Of Democratic members
Tnasmuch, then, a. the admission OF Kansas g.
Slave State, under the circumstances, would
hare more signal triumph for the South than
she has ever yet achieved in contest with the

by the confession of all parties, was defeated by
Stephen A. Douglas and his Congressional myrmi-
dons we ask if we are not justified fully in the as
sertion that "the heaviest blow ever inflicted upon
the South was struck by Stephen a. Douglas -
We cannot conceive how there be two opn-
ions about it.
Did Mr.. Douglas, in any other respect, in the
last Congress, exhibit any devotion to Southern
Rightsi Did he not invariably vote with Tho
Black Republicans every important division
Did he not aggregate himself entirely from his for
tner political associations? Why. all these things
are too notorious to need the useless trouble Of
bringing forward the Congressional record.
But, enough for the present. Our magazine,
however is by no means exhausted. But for the
surprise expressed by some of our friends ut our
position, we should have let Mr.. Douglas alone.
But wc have now enlisted for tho war"--nulla
pestigia refrorsum if we do not make the
name of Stephen A. Douglas stink in the nostrils
of the Southern people before we ARE done with
him, we shall begin to believe that the maxim is
altogether false one, about tho might and preva-
lcnce of the truth.
