Douglas Doomed.

The Washington Union, after one of its
customary general disquisitions on the
awful guilt of those Democrats who refuse
prompt and unquestioning submission to
the behests of the party, and to the ineyi-
table fate which awaits all such henious
offenders, winds up with the following per-
sonal and explicit application:
ssThese reflections do not apply in de-
tail to the case of Hugh L. White, of
Tennessee, who claimed to be better
Democrat than the whole Democratic
party of his day, and sank into political
grave which Immediately opened its jaws
to receive him; or of William G. Rives of
Virginia, who differed with his party on
the Independent Treasury, and with the
monopoly of the orthodox on that subject,
which be carried off with him, Immediately
sank into the depths of Beotian oblivian;
OF of Martin Van Buren, who separated
himself from his party on the Texas ques
tien, and has witnessed from his inland
St. Helena series of party campaigns
even more brilliant than those he had led,
which he might have headed if he had
curbed the arbitrary temper which lost him
the sympathies of the Democracy; or of
Col. Benton who, presuming upon his vast
services to, and immense influence with,
the Democracy, threw himself in opposi-
ton to his party when it took position
on the slavery question, which its conser-
vative sentiments and national principles
oblioed IL to, take. and which he lost every
thing by refusing to take. They apply
more fully and particularly to Judge Doug
las, who might have been warned by the
fate of these sages, the latchet of whose
shoes he was not worthy to unloose,of the
more lamentable one which betides him
henceforth.
1.-The Democratic party survived the
detection of White, of Rives, of Van Buren,
and of Benton, the great giants-shurely
it will survive the detection of Douglas,
the little one"

He boasts of having the largest number ol
wives of any man in the Territory, and ol
being the father of over fifty children. He
does not bear the kindest reputation as a
husband or father, and I should think him
too coarse and vulgar to be able to govern

On leaving my quarters the other morn
ing he halted in the courtyard, and soon
attracted an audience by his vehement de-
nunciation of the Federal Administration.
He declared that Douglas had taken ground
against the Mormons in the expectation of

"But, l prophesy," he continued, athat he
will never get into that chair. / say it in
the name of Israeps God. And there's old
Buck-d-n him-he put his foot in it;
but he'll never do it again. prophesy
that there will be peace during the remain
der of his Administration; but after him
will come such time as we have never yet
seen, and know it and intend to prepare
for it, laying up stores in the mountains to
TO be ready for that evil time. But the
President who puts his heel upon this peo-
pie will 60 to hell. Old Buck will go to
hell just like old Tom Benton, who has gone
to hell, d-n him, for his prosecutions of

Taylor. The Lord sent him along as quick
as he could, lest he should be too late to
find lack after he got there" After some
less demonstrative expressions, this spiritu
al leader of the people continued: 81 love
my friends, and don't like my enemies;
but l follow the Scripture rule and pray for
them.
This was said in the presence of DR.. For

The SUN in India..SHfferins OF
the British Soldier.

The Times Bombay correspondent says
81 do not often write about the weather
but it is at this moment the most important
element in the campaign. For so years
no such season has been known. The lit
tie rains fell fortnight before their time,
and then ceased; and the land is in one
huge bath. At Calpee the thermometer
in tents is l24 degrees; in Jugdespore it is
l3O; and in Lower Bengal, within the
reach of sea breez, it is 126. In Calcutta,
in house hermetically sealed against the
light, and with a punkah going, it stands
steadily at 90 degrees. Sickness is all but
universal. The small pox is bursting out
here and there, half the European commu-
nifty have fevers, and moiety of the other
half only escape the curse by an affliction
which, though not unhealthy, is even
more unbearable- boils.-
In Alahabad, out of 800 Europeans, not
900 are fit for duty, and the number of
deaths from 'appoplexy"-that is sunstroke
exceeds the mortality from all Other. sour
ces. In the midst of this there are regi-
ments in which the stock is maintained,
and which punkahs paid for by government
are forbidden. The Duke of cambridge
should stop all this by forbidding the stock
in India at once-its use is optional, be-
lieve- and compelling commanding Off
GERS to leave the punkahs alone. The
royal artillery, for instance, are loosing men
at the rate of IA per cent. per anum ex-
clusi5 5e of fighting casualties. Again, the
men are now dressed in light colored cot
ton cloth, capital stuff to resist the climate; {;
but their heads are still unprotected.
They receive, it is true, white cover for
their caps, but it is no protection, except
so far as its color is concerned. Routine
and the sun together are beating us, and
l was told this morning that with all the
reinforcements and recruits sent out, we
cannot muster even now 10000 effective
Europeans. By October third of them
will be off duty, for though the soldiers
do not get appoplexy in barracks, they do
get liver complaint and low deblitated
feyers."
