ana "Siyie'' OF Douglas
We find in our exchanges, a letter from
Senator DOUGLAS, denying the charge or en-
uendo Of kiLGoEE Of Illinois, that he ever
planned or schemed" with lIouscE Gnrrl5y
at his (the Senator s. house in WASHINGTON
city, during the Anti Lecompton Struggle in
Congress Mr.. GREELEY has before placed his
denial on the record, and as that was suti
Gent to convince the public Mr. DorGLAs has
only been dong 4 work Of supercro.aton bv
ayalllng himself Of this new excuse fer piIhliC
letter writing; for which, in these latter davs
ne evinces IS mach Of mania as Mr.. SlGLEY
was once afflicted with in the matter Of issr.-
lnS Proclamations. We make one extract.
however, from the letter Of Mr.. d., showing
both his egotism and literary style in compo-
,ition:
- Now, While it is true that men Of all
shades Of political opinion have been in the
haolt OF visiting at n.y h4U& for the ten wear,
have Kept hDasr in Wal ingtcr, and while j.
may DC true tnat Mr. Greciey, among others.
may have visited at Ayy houSe within that time,
II Is wholly untrue that | ever planned or
Scllehie'l' OF had any arrangement whatever
WIN Mr.. Greeley, at ny house or elsewhere,

the Senate Of the United States"
