1t will be seen by reference to advices
from Washington, that DOUGLAS has fallen
into the Administration traces, and is meek
ly performing the duties of a private in the
ranks, evidently gratiied at having the priv
ilege of being readmitted to fellowship even
on such Illuminating terms. His sub
mission places in an embarrassing position
FoRNEY and others of his most prominent
friends, who are still at war with Buchanan.
And Douglas himself, though permitted to
return to the party and attend the caucuses
of its members, is still denounced not only
by the Presidents official organ, but also
by prominent Administration Senators. The
following extract from the recent speech of
Mr. IvERsoN, of Georgia, shows the light
in which the powerful wing of the party he
represents regard the doctrine Of popular
sovereignty as defined and advocated by
the Illinois Senator and his followers

choice betw cen the Wilmot IProyiso and the
equatter sovereignty doctrine and policy Of
the Senator from Illinois. Indeed, sir, i'll
was driven to select between them, Il would
take the former. il is open, manly and
decisive; it settles the question at once by
debarring the Southern people, in terms,
from entering the territories with their slave
property; it is an open and undisgaisedde-
nial of righttoa the South, which the South
could resist or submit TO, as her sense of
honor or her policy might dictate, whilst the
squatter. sovereignty doctrine and practice,
as defined by its distinguished advocate, is
plausible, delusiVei deceptive. and fatal
No man of common sense can suppose that,
under il, the South will ever obtain another
slave State to this Union. Both are polit-
ical heresies, finding no authority in the
constitution; equally ~vielative of the rights
of the Southern people, subversive Of their
equality in the Uuion, and an insult to their
honor, which, in my s%pinioni alike demand
