Immediately after Mr.. Donglas' 70 election
to the Senate, tie Chicago Times publisbe,l
an article On Mr.. Buchanan which was deem
ed "ugly" by the friends Of our venerable
and sublime Chief Magistrate. The Cincin.
matt cammercial remarked that the article yas
written before Mr. Dou glas left Chicago, and
that it was published the moment Lis election
had taken place, IN obedience TO instructions
from him. The Times replied, denying The
truth Of the statement, aud going to the
length Of declaring that like all other arti-
cles' in that print, it was written wholly il.
respective Of tue opinions Of Mr.. Douclas Or
any other person. The Commercial returns tn
tic charge, observing sagacious1y that tae
political Significance Of the Times is nltogeth.
CT due to the popular impression that it re-
presents Mr. Douglas-that the artIc,c in
question becsmc notorious for that reason.
