! d2saa Douglas at the South. .aqsa
The proofs of Douglas unpopularity at the
South are accumulatngo daily The only
hope of his nomination at Charleston was on
the score Of his supposed popularity in the
North but as soon as the returns from
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, Indiana and
Iowa reach the Southern States, the few
advocates Of Douglas nomination will cease
to advocate his claims. The following love-
taps from Southrons we commend to the
attention of Northern admirers of the little
giant: 55g8jsslaasll ID q J....sa L9,.. n ,ii.
The Vicksburg Southern Sun says: "a
'We do not believe that Douglas is the
drst choice of q single Southern born man
in the State of Mississippi for the Presidency.
Never was man more loathsd He is looked
upon as miserable demagogue, who would
not scruple to sell his soul, if by so doing he |
could reach, the goal of his ambtion-the
White House."

The Memphis Acalanehe says: -
"From the borders Of Virginia to the banks
of the Mississippi, the advocates of Mr..
Douglas cannot name Democrat that holds
a place as high as that of Congressman, or
that has ever been honored by his party with
q candidacy for such a position, who would
not rather witness tie nomination of almost
any other Democrat whose name has been,
mentioned in connection with the Presidency,
than that of Stephen, A. Douglas. His vault
ing ambition and pestlent demagoguery have
created all the troubles that now lower upon
our party, and the Democratic masses, as well
rs their honored representatives, are anxious
to wash their hands of him at once and for.

Hon. John Mcqueen, M. C. of South Car
olina, in reply to a recent letter inviting him
70 attend public dinner given to Senator
Chestnut, says: .-..r. ..,...,'...,--
II would not support Mr.. Douglas for the

% observe any platform that may be drawn;
know what he has done, and that is enough
or me-" -r. .'. -
1t may be regarded as settled fact that
Douglas cannot unite the South in his favor.
neither can any Southern man who NAV
obtain the Charleston nomination carry a
single Northern State, except, perhaps, Cali
ornia. The only hope of the Democracy is
Q nominate some obscure man of negative
popularity, such as was Mr.. Polk and even
. such an event Republican triumph is
llmost certain in 1860.
