Inconsistencies Of Douglas and his Par
~ Friends

Judge Douglas has in times past been
considered .hrewd. far seeing politician.
lie has been thought 20 possess a large
amount of political sagaeiiy. IL may have
been 80. In his later movements he ecrtain'
" has exhibited none OF these traits. Ia
the fret place man Of his experience aud
political knowledge ought TO have known,
that no man OF prominence could place him-
slf icf's,sH the two great political parties
o. the country. without being ground ulti'
mately between the "upp-r AMI the neither

a third party could not give any man in IL.
ranks promincn, position before the coun.
try. Here was great blunder to commence
with. Judgc Douglas should have either
elung 20 his old party or lett !, aud gone
over to the republicans. And now in sail
inc or trying TO steer his bark through tic
strait. between SCylla and Charyhdis, he 6.
alrady nearly aground. In his Efforts Ia

o. have no porer 10 lecslate against IL.
why? Because Congress eau make no such
grant OF power to the people u a territory,
fur the reason that the Constitution is the
supreme law Of the land Congress cannot
make grant Of power which will in its op.
Grafton orrrrlds i.c Constitution. These are
logical conclusions which lesi,Ima,ely grow
out of the premises. Douglas holds that
this power !. cc!ed % territorial Iegisla-

at tie ahsurii,y OF bis position. FIR, de-

and all bis friends, II the Drcd Scott idea

South right, when they shy Consrc.. should

law Of the land bend to a simple &C, Of a

that It required extraordinary creduliy to
believe that the Administration intended
TO use the 4 30. OOO. 900 It asked for Of the

Clemens. THE intention was to use It asa

the pas, history Of either Jane. Buchanan
or John Slidrll to place them above 'I'pi'

in buying Spanish officials, and unless some
