L is truly disgusting to note the
wliningsoftAe douglas clique" against
the Seceders and friends of Slidell. They
know full well that our able Senators
ara both opposed 10 the nomination of
the Western Demagogue," and for
this they are traduced an vilified in an
almost uncomfortable manner His friends
arr bitterly opposed to any one that
willno recognize their leader as the
man forthe occasion. 1t is fact that
thesefriends are opposed to the seeding
delegates because they would not accede
TO the blightning heresey of his doc
trine of slavery in the Territories. Be-
cause these men would not submit to
What they knewto be wrong, and there
Oy forfeit tie confidence their constit-
aents had placed in them, they must
be bandi,d about by the admirers Of
the Illinois Pireb'and, as guilty of mis-
conduct towards the harmony of tie
National Democracy. That the small
band of patriotic delegates which with
drew form the corrupt Charleston con,
setaion intended 10 impair in the least
the harmony of the National Democra'
fcy,,or intended their course as succol
10 dissolution, is as false as misrepresen
tation can possible be; and the mar
4 that would make such an assertion
knbwning the true state of affairs, woulc
net hesitate to perjury himsilf for tn
slightest remuneration. It Is libe
ap5n humanity that such brazen igno
rance and subsided demonstration
be allowed to go unchecked. It'll

The whole sum and substance of ID
Charleston squabbls is nothing NOR
than simply the delegates from th
