Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-12-24


SENATOR DoUaLAs-In looking over the list
of Committees formed for the present session
Of the Senate il appears that Senator Douglas
has been made to play second fiddle to Mr..
Green on the Committee of Territories. We
had thought that common decency would have
dictated different course by men who call
themselves democrats. We remember a few
years ago that these same men sang hozannas
to this Stephen A. Douglas, and did not think
themselves the least abased. Even in this
city of Wilmington we saw men who reyile this
Senator now, the loudest TO appaud him then.
While this man saw proper to float with the
current and bring girls. to these mems mill,
everything was we'll but when he dared to
think differently the whole matter changed.
His influence. his power. his weight. was in the
other scale-the beam was about to be kicked
against them. as they thought. Mistaken ideal
Had they heen half az good democrats as Dou-
elas, they would have been willing to accord
10 a freeman the RIGHT IN exercise his Indictment
in regard 10 the principles of the marty. We
are No adm;rer of Jndge Donglas lint we know
him TO be a consistent democrat. and one who
has worked for the good of the marty whole
lifetime and we think that IL il little business
