Is Senator Douglas a Democratic

The Union, Mr.. Buchanan's organ,
dlsposes of this question in the follow
ing pointed manner;
Is Senator Douglas in or ont of tho
Democratic party? Either he is in or
he is out of the party. If he is out,
1t matters little whether he has been
read cut or whether he has hounccd
hlmsclF out so that lie is out descrv.
cdly. If he is still in, after the con-
Duct of which he has been guilty,
then the being in and out of the party
are undistinguishable facts, and there
is no such thing as = yell defined Dem
ocratic organization. - V
II he tic in The party, it ie inpassi
bic to say who is not in it, or yho is not
out. If he hc entitled to the conf.
denGo aud cGuntenanea Of the party,
then it Is difficult to say what nan in
the Union is net. The party which
can overlook conduct like his must have

they not? Those who prophesy that
