CANTON, Mo-, July 14th, 1858.-Dear Sir Your
favor Of the 18th inst, calling my attention to certain
rumors to the effect that intended to sustain Hon. S.
A. Douglas has been received. had heard of the re-
port before but did not attach sufficient Importance to
it to make any reply. The facts are as follows
Being asked what believed Mr.. Douglas intended to
do in his party relations for the future gave it as nv
opinion founded On his own words that he would heart
lily sustain the democratic party and oppose to the bit
ter end the Black Republican and that if nv belief
should prove correct, then would rather see him re-
elected than any one of the Black Republican party.
Many persons differ with me in regard to what the
future course of Douglas will be- and have heard many
persons express their opinion that in 1860 he will be
identified with the Republicans. If he should war on
the democratic party we must war on him but if he
should fight in ranks, against the common enemy
should certainly prefer him to any man belonging to the
enemy. No doubt Douglas did US great and serious
harm during the last session, but trust democrats will
never be for revenge to counenance the cleo
ton of Black Republican,
AS between democrats of Illinois, can never express
any preference if the Judge should turn out as
hope he may. But should not hesitate (f he should
verify my expectations between him and Black Re
publican The idea Of my taking the stump for him.
without certain evidence of his fidelity is preposterous
but for the principles Of party and in opposition
Republcanism feel it my duty to speak on proper oc
! caslons. Yours truly, JAMES s. GREEN.
