A Few Words for Inc Statesman

We think our neigbbor Of the States
man, must be pretty well satisfied BY this
time, that the Democratic party is not a
units not a National party"-that
Democracy does not mean the same thing
North and South--that there are shades
of difference, approaching in number to the
varied hues of the rain5ow--that squatter
sovereignty in the South is very different
animal from what it is regarded in the
North. Then, in truth, they must admit
that Senator Donglas, by the late stand he
has taken against the administration and
the united slaveholding and slave extending
democracy of the South his wrecked his
hopes of receiving support from that section
of the Union in the next National Conven-
! tinn, to be held in Charleston, South Caro-.
lina-if indeed such a gathering is ever
held which we regard as doubtful. While
the South is thus united against Douglas
and sqaatter sovereignty--the Northern
wing Of the party is divided, the majority
90 with Douglas now, and the minority
with Buchanan and the South.
Such being the case what d the Douglas
