Mr.. Douglas and the Administration.
1t seems hat the moderation which Judge DoUa
LAS manifested towards the administration in his
late canvass vas mere stroke of policy. Success
was more desirable iban revenge, and his hatred
Cor The President yieded to considerations of per-
soHsl sm itiOn While the result of the election
was yet doubtful, and the friends Of the admins,
traiicn held the balance Of power he could not az
ford be vindictive Hence in his speeches in Ill
pOis, his Language was generally courteous if not
concilatOry towards Mr.. BUCHANAN. He feared to
utter the hatred that was ranking in his heart he
dreaded 10 make an issue with the party, he had be-
trsyed and the man whom he listed he bottled
his indignation for future use. He made hypoerit~
zeal professions of attachment for the principles of
the Democratic party, and concealed his malice
against the President under pharassioal pretences
of kindness and respect But as soon SIS his eec>
tion is secure, be unbottles his wrath and pours
forth all the bitterness Of his nature upon the heads
of the President aud his advisers. He covered be-
fore the administration while it had power to harm
him. He would not permit his friends to make any
assault upon the President his policy. Phe
servle pack of greedy politicians which followed at
his heels, was senced. But soon as he is out of
danger he unmuz=les his blood hounds and turns
loose the whole kennel of ours upon the sdminis>
tration.
The Chicago Times which is entirely subservientto
Judge DOUGLAS, "opens the cry 1t Acknowledges with
out shame that has been restrninedor some months
from candid expression of its feelings by pruden>
tsl considerations. 1t was afraid to speak its hon
est sentiments until the action of the legislature had
decided the Senatorial contest. But the biter>
ness of its malice, or Of Judge DOUGLAS malice,
for the Times is merely his mOuth-pieoe, has lost
nothing Of its intensity by is long cOncealment.
The Times is red-hot with wrath. 1t is
blazing with resentment against the President and
this party It's lurid with rage at the pur-
sued BY the Democrats in the last Congress. 1
chsrscterizes the Leeomptou policy I" as mockery
and cheat" and the men who supportedit, ga
gang Of political hucksters" without ability or po-
siiOn. The administration and the whole body of
its supporters consigned to a fiery and fearful
perdition. But the insolence of the Senator and
his organ exceeds their indignation. They de-
nounce the party aud then demand its support
Those who oppose the triumphant entrance ef Judge
Douglas into the Charleston Convention are threat
ened with bis eternal resentment. he assumes to
carry the favor of the people in his pocket, and
claims the power to beslOW withhold it according
TO his individual pleasure. These who dare resist his
will "mgy hope to hear the approving UOies of
the American people" He usurps toe prerOga ives
Of AutOorat and requires the party which he has
injured, outraged and insuled, to submit to his die
tation and bow meekly under his blows. The Dem.
Ooratic party will do neither. They viii repe the
assumed authority Of Judge Douglas with unspeak
able scOrn. They will return his indignation and
insults with fierce and honest resentment, beneath
which, bis cowardly heart will shrink and sicken.
Instead of comforting honor upon him they will ut
Ter rebuke at whibh his craven spirit will recoil
