or he would have fit morally bound to
her, and that legally be was not. The
judge ruled that slaves being chatt|es
could not make contracts, and that the
marriage was, therefore. a %nu|Iity.

What DOUGLAS THINKS OF HIS PRos-

| WHAr DOUGLAS THINKS OF HIS PRos.
rEcrs.-We take the following from the
Richmond Enquirer, the central organ
Of the Democracy Of the Old Dominion
Mr.. Douglas eutertains no doubt about
the future. He is a candidate, and con
Gdent Of the nomination, us. well MS OF
the adoption 81 his platform. He thinks
the question IS already determined that
he can succeed without any aid from the
Middle States; that the United North
west and Northeast Are for him, beyond
dnubt, as well as several Of the Southern
States; that IT, is certain Of votes
rnough. already without another State.
I1slhe.S nth, he feels sure Of Nort|.
Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and LOU
%isiana, though some Of the.nzinay vote Il
ballet Tor other names. I1e regards all
the Southern candidates, except Go.
Wise, as. having virtually Withdrawn
from the field. He thinks they ltave no
desire TO risk the chances 10 1860, and
vii! prefer tive nomination Of some No .h-
prn man in order to leave the field open
FIR tbemselv.sin 1864. THIS, he thinks,
vii! secure him the nomination in 1860,
if nothing else should.
In spite Of the oppositio" made TO
DOUGLAS by the Administration De-
mocracy, would they not prefer him 10
SEWARD, 81 any other open and asowed
Black Republican? It is conceded on
all hands that 20 Southern candidate
can secure the Charleston nomination.,
SO that it is pretty evident who stands
best chance. Det=sting STEPHEN A.
DOUGLAS damnabIe doctrine of S quatter
as much AS we do, we would
ten thousand times see him in the
Presidential chair than any Black Re-
publican leader, and in this preference
We feel assured t%wo-thirds Of the South
rrn people will concur.
