oh Shame. where is thy Blush I,

The manner in which the Express, the late
denouncer of Douglas, speaks of the Illinois
Senator, is actually insulting to the friends Of
that great statesman. After he has beaten
the Administration and Lecompton forces
combined, proclaimed his principles boldly to
the world and taken possession of his seat in
the United States Senate on the strength OF
those principles, fiinging his victorious ban
ner in the very teeth of James Buchanan and
all his covering myrmidons the organ pre-.
tends to say that this crowned victor. this
noble conqueror in the great cause of Popu-
lar Sovereignty, has gone over to the misera-
the doctrines they had pledged themselves to
support, because the great Dispenser of fed
eral patronage commanded them to turn
traitors The organ does not even accord to
the Illinois statesman the poor dignity of be.
ing tolerated in the political character which
he bears, but insults him by the insinuaton
Party-as if he had ever wandered from it |!
But, here is the precise language Of the Elk.
press
Judge Douglas has given unmistakable
evidence of his purpose to return to and re-
main wih the Democratic party"
If the Express means by this, that Douglas
has given unmistakeable evidence of ever be-
coming a Lecomptonite it is only another in
dication that that paper either does not
know what it is talking about or does not
care what it says.
