Douglas OurInwed in virginia.

Senator Douglas must steer clear of Rich
mond if he would rot be tarred and fcathered
as an abolition iucendiary. The Richmond en-
quirer of Sept. 7lh thus speaks of his copy
right manifesto on Popular Sovereignty in
Harper's Magazine:
Mr.. Douglas essay can be regarded in no
other light than as an ineendiary document, cal
culated to produce nothing less than repeti-
ton Of the anarchy and bloodshed which has
lately disgraced the soil of our territories We
publish il only for the purpose Of pointing out
its errors, and of warning the conservative men
of the whole country against this last and
most dangerous phase which anti slavery agi-
tation has yet assumed.
The RSquirer having obtained permission of
the Harpers to publish the Douglas Essay, ac-
companies it with a scathing review three col
umns long, attributed to the pen of Gov. Wise
It denies the soundness of all his positions says
that no Courts can be or ever been have estab
lished in Territories, except by the Constitution
of the United States denies that Congress car
delegate legislative powers which it does not
possess; denies that Congress can confer judi
cial powers, and says that it can only institute
courts in pursuance Of the Constitutions; says
that Gov. Wise has already on former occa-
siOns refuted Douglas Colonial argument
contends that Judge Taney's decision in the
Dfed Scott case is directly opposed to the doc
trine of Territorial Sovereignty; and denies
that the Compromise measures of 1850, or the
Kansas Nebraska Act, or the Cincinnati plat.
form sustain any such doctrine. The combat
deepens tI

Douslns pemonstra.lon In clncInnntl.


Senator Douglas recovered from his illness
at Dayton so as to proceed to Cincinnati on Fri
day, and address the Democracy in the evening
A large crowd, estimated at ten thousand,
greeted him at the Market Space. He stated
that four years ago he attempted to address
the people Of Cincinnati, and was seized with
a disease Of the throat, which incapacita,ed
him from speaking, and confined him for four
months. The other DAY, coming from Pitts
burgh, be had been seized by the same disease,
and was then distressed by it, Mr.. Douglas
was very hoarse, and the audience rapidly
thnned out, such was the difficulty in hearing
him. The Gazette publishes verbatim report
of the speech, and remarks "that it is in good
part rehash Of the Harper copyright doctrine
Of SQuatter Sovereignty, with but little dllu-
tion for weak Administration stomschs Its
tendency, of course, will be to widen the breach
between the two factions of the Democracy
here, rather than 10 render any important aid
in the present campaign. The presence of
such an ''incendiary" orator for any length of
time in the State, would produce an outbreak
between the lns and the Outs, and the hazar.
dous experiment would not be tried, even
were it perfectly agreeable to the wishes of the
Senator. How Car his immediate interests, as
a Presidential candidate will be improved by
this mission, we will not undertake to coDjec'
