The LecomptOn Isres,on senator douglas.


The Express is so perfectly brazen in its
declarations that the Administration is max.
ing no war on Mr.. Douglas, and that the Le-
compton party in the Atlantic States has
nothing against him, as to force us to cumber
our columns with extracts from the Lecomp-
ton papers themselves, in proof of what
everybody ought already to know. The fol.
lowing will show how dearly these Leeomp-
tonites love Douglas from the President
down:
The question is not whether the Democratic
party can do without Mr. Douglas, whether
it can afford to out loose from him and his
minions, whether il is able and the time Is
not arrived, to declare independence" OF
him; for the experience of the last six months
has shown that if it cannot get along with
out him. IL is rd,, to attempt to get along NTH

August the 7th, the Presidents organ again
says:
Now, what we have to say is that the posi-
tion of Mr. Douglas is one of essential hostili
ty to the Democratic party We maintain
that he is a TRAITOR by action, design and pc
sition
AT another time, speaking of the fight go
ing on between Lincoln and Douglas in Hi
nois, this same mouth-piece of the Presiden
says:
We feel authorized to say that the grea
mass of the people will repudate the spitefu
and hateful lessons impaired by MIR. Douglas
In another place, it says:
Such is Mr. Douglas position If he be il
the party it is impossible to say who is no
in it, or who is out. Ifhe be entitled to tn,
confidence and countenance of the party, theI

But, it is unnecessary to accumulate proc
ofthe hostility of the Administration to Sir
Douglas from this source Let us see if the
| other Lecompton organs do not howl TO the
same tune The Danville (Va) Republican
says
Our principles are well known to be those
of southern rights democracy, after the strict
est creed, and we cannot now hold Judge
Douglas up as pure and spotless, and recon-
mel forgetfulness of his course, when few
months ago, we, in common with many 9th.

Douglas abates nothing of his o6norious opin

session of Congress, an aifliation with hin
manifestly involves IL concession and surren

The Savannah Morning News think
Douglas is no better than n Black RepuLli
can. 1t says:
For our part we are not sorry that he has
defined his true position We like his dc.
mocracy, but if we must take his free -soilisn
with it we prefer to let him and his follow.

The Fredericksburg (Va.) Recorder says:
The gist of the whole matter is, that Mr.
Douglas and the Democratic party have takel

ted by his unrepented apostacy, and persist

and its administration.

The shoe fits tightly!
The South Side Democrat desires 10 trea
Douglas with silent contempt. 1t says:

Black Republicanism, Douglas chose to opei

So talk the whole Lecompton press, in til
Atlantic States, about Stephen A. Dougla:
and yet many of the friends of that grea
statesman. were silly enough to believe in tn
late election, that the Administration had NJ
feelings of hostility against him.
