The Washington Union on Judge Doug
la
I The Jaion says Judge Douglas has aban-
donod great iuany fricnds-more than
there are in the whole Republican family.
1t was supposed that lie felt the loss of them.
"Hencc,' it says, ''we have had mysterious
! giSingsout that he would go home, aud
again, by bold declaration, rc-unite himself
with the Democratic party" 1t then goes
on to remark on the report of his Chicago
! speech:
eve have at length tho telcgraphic re-
port of his speech at Chicago 1t may be
lmperfectiu point of matter--t may not
embrace all Mr.. Douglas said We sin
| cerely trust it is, that much has been left
out and much reported which Mr. Doug
las did not say. The latter would be a
most desirable amendment of the speech :;
for what is reported to have been said will
| greatly astonish the country. Mr. Doug
las, We fear, has mistaken demonstration
in his behalf in two or three cities for pop
ular support and confidence by the whole
country. lie arrnigns the Democratic par
| ty of last winter, and declares that he and
/ his friends defeated and prostratod it in the
passage of the English bill, which he aud
lIis friends opposed and voted against -
The English bill was all wrong, Mr. Doug
las could not endorse it; he voted against
it; it became, nevertheless, law. That
law then become a triumph to Mir. Doug
las! There are some things too deep for
ordinary minds and this was never made
clearer than in the report of Mr.. Douglas
speech. What was the object of the Sen
iator? Did he wish to rc-open the old
wounds! Did he desire to set up for him
self OH the small capital of two or three
public receptions? Has his vanity SO over
come his judgement that he can for mo-
ment suppose TINT ufnetcen-tw0h Cretns or
the Democratic party are about to stultify
themselves, condemn their conduct last
winter, and come out now for that most in
famous ofall Abolition measures, the Crit
tenden amendment, which Mr.. Douglas
now SO warmly approves?
I'VE say in all candor to the Illinois
Senator that he never madea greater mis-
take. 1t was his place to forget what pass
ed last winter He was interested in for
getting it. The country was all ready to
recognise and endorse his defective memo
ry in this respect, We believe Mr. Doug
lbs himself ally desired to obiterate the in
! finite hlunders of the late session. But he
ioust vindioatc his consistency, He must
go down to his people and show that lie was
quite immaculate thathc never made blun-
des; and in that act he committed the
greatest blunder of his life. We viii not
indulge in further comment in anticipation
of the authoritative publication of his
speech,
THE ToMBs OF PAUL AND VIRGINIA
u corespondentofth the Baltimore American,
writing from the frigate Powhattan, off is
land of Mauritius, tells of going ashore to
see the graves of Paul and VIRGINIA. He
says;
| After examining many of the tombs,
vaults, &C.. we got into the carriage and
proceeded further on,until we came to a
gate, which consisted of two posts with a
Epolo across, where we alighted The first
thing that met our view was small sign,
expressly forbidden to see the tombs of Paul
and Virginia This, however, did not
stop us. We crossed the pole and went to
house some distance off, whore we in
qpircd for the place the tombs were situat-
ed, and were very discourteousiy told that
| they were behind the house. We started
for the place, guided by one of the servants,
sent probably to watch us. We passed
along a canaltlike stream of water forabout
one hundred yards, when We came to one of
the tolnbs,{ {PauPs,0 small brick monument
about four feet high, plastered over, Near
this the canal turned in the shape Of horse
shoe, and ON the opposite side was, Virgin
las tomb, and in all respects similar to the
other They are about forty feet apart
| The spot is romantic aud beautiful one,
and could one believe Che story and look
upon this spet, he must have truly hard
heart not to be deeply affected by it. We
remained about half an hour at and about
the tonbs, and although closely watched,
