tsxes bis constitutional equanimity most, is, tha
leading Democratic newspapers from Richmond ana
New. orleans, and of the fre-eatiDg stripe too,
should hold him responsible for the party scnism
which LON disturbs the harmonious Democracy"
and recommend him to call of the dogs which are
houndips Douglas so fercely. The Ner Orleans
.Delta hss come out pretty 1at-foOted for Douglas
as the man for the South and for the Union. These
tokens Of favor toward an open rebel like the SeIa-

tOn Of any President, aud especially OF one WHO
hAs made so many concessions to this same SOUTH
and who completely changed the front OF his Kansas
policy, as disclosed in his Instructions 10 Waihei

Presdent"-as he is called BY the younger asPl-
rants for 1860-should become excited and wrath
full and write bellcose leaders for The Union de-
Tending his position and carrying the war into the
enem7s country. What makes the matter msre
provoking is, that the President is just beginning
10 discover that he was sold by these hre-eaters;
that their threatened Conventions were all theatrl
cal shams and that the Union was anchored saiely
at the very time he thought all was adrlit, and saw

great compromise" which WAS carried through
Congress by bribery and corruption, has no more
settled the question than the Lecompton contrivance
which was kicked out Of doors. When the people
Of KaLsas, in the exercise Of their righiful au'

famous deception, then the great and oyershadow'
