or DOUGLAS AND LINCOLN.


o,sr IL Discrimination Of Mr.. Buchanan--keeps |
M relentless and continual fire upon senato1Doug
las and those Democrats who support him, by indi-
yaction even both in and out of Illinois. Some jour
mails in the South affect to despise the Unions
onslaughts and seem disposed to throw ridicule upon
them but il Douglas is defeated at the end of the
tremendous and mighty struggle he is making for re-
election to the Senate Of the United States the result
WILL in our wellconsdered opinion, be owing to tue
influences brought TO bear by the Administration
mainly through the columns Of the Washington
Union. That paper has spoken too long and too Bit
terIy against him. not to be backed up by the whole
mower Of the Federal Government. The verify Of
this last proposition no experienced and candid poll
tician will dispute.
Not long ago the Union, in savage attack upon
Douglas, admonished the Democracy of the South in
this wise
We would caution gentlemen at the South, es-
pecially who, from the nature of things cannot be
acquainted with all the facts of the subject, that I'M
less they are prepared to sustain class OF poclus
who are sure to be in open coalition very soon with
the most violent agitators of antsavery at the North,
they had better beware of giving aid, comfort or
countenance in the form of either apology, eXtenua
ton tolerance to this dsorganzlng and ncendlary
movement of " Douglas Democrats"
Although there is considerable truth in the fore
going it has not been received with any great degree
offayor by the political class to whom it addressed

Lincoln on the other hand. is a rank omen and
avowed abolitonist and possesses few if INV of the
redeeminr traits which characterize his connection
Hence Ne hone good fortune for the former. The
difference between them. to nut the matter in the
nainest sort of language is that which exists ALWAYS
between 4 cbiyalric ana magnanimous opponent. and
