Still erander was the scene when the Douglas

Our poet Of TIE States has certsinly vivid IN l
prolific fancy. To create Il sea Of faces ou, of
group Of hundred noisy lrishmen was no great
achievement of the imaginative faculty. That has
b., Done before by enthusiastic reporters and
creGUOus listeners. But to build up houses for
many squares around the house Of MIR. Douglas,
and 10 make their wndo VS. CLEAN like molten gold,
is feat Of magic that would have done credit to
the fortunate tossessor Of Aladdin's lamp. To the
eyes Of common beholders the house of the Doug
las stands IN sin cst solitary grandeur in the midst
of Sahara Of mud, with q sort OF country seat on
one side. and on the other three houses, only one
Of u hicb, believe, is occupied. In front Is
ella, bark and all around are unoccupied, unf~nced
squares, where Aladdin might bsve reared dozen
huge palaces without encroachlDg on anybojy's
dw. lliug.

The decision ard magnanimity dis played in this
remarkable reply produced proper effect upon
the multitude, who, doubtless, looked upon Mr

Of respect for Popular Sovereignty. They began

The secret Of the neglect with which Mr.. Doug
las has been treated in Washington since bis return,
so different from the attention which he attracted
last session. is explained by the prevalence OF al
opinion that be is broken down politically; that be
