AS We had supposed all the time, this
great Democratic champion, who routed
the ombned forces OF the administration
and the Black Republicans in the late Iii.
nos election, has quietly sunk back into
the company of his reviers. 1t will be
seen by the dispatch in our Geographic
column, that he was in the late caucus ON
Cuban matters, and took an active part.
In the course of Which he expressed him
self as having the FULLEST confidence IN tie
President. This is no more cxtraordna-
~ than many other acts OF his life, which
nave always exhibited his willing acqnies-
cence 10 party Scrvllude. In this case he
dtlllates III ueilg httul concourse with jeff
Davis, who can see no difference between
aim and a Black Republican with Jones,
of Iowa, who publicly pronounced him IL
liar, and with Sndell, wuo had been equal
~ severe. Al! proved unavaiIing with
AIR. Douglas. He wouIdn be kicked out
OF sue party. Unlike the youth, who up
ON being kicked out OF the house by the
enraged father oi MS adorable,' he did
not leave under the impression that he
was not wanted there, but he quietly
walks back again and declares himself
ready to undergo another propel!ins pro

TuiS action Of MIR. Douglas does not
surprise Us. Our wonder Is, that 50 ma

cherish for them the trlest rrspect---are
seldom the most popular with the sex.
Men OF great assurance, whose tongues
are lightly. hung-who make words sup.
