Some of the Reasons why Douglas
should be Nominated at Charles

A correspondent Of the ST. Louis Re
publican says:
cit seems to be the united wish Of the
North that Douglas should be nominated,
and there are a thousand reasons why the
South should be willing to fight under his
leadership. He has battled her enemies
more valiantly. more successfully than any
other man. He has been slandered, tradu-
ced and vilifed by her enemies because Of
his friendship for her more than any other
man. While others have been fawned up
on at the North for abusing and cursing
the South, he has been denounced for de-
manding and insisting that her rights should
should be respected.
80 He has sturdily and with stalwart arm
maintained the equality of the States.
{" He has ever maintained that our gov
ernment was made by white men and for
white men and that the negro is not. and
should not be, the social or political equal
of white men.
He believes that slavery is neither a
social nor political evil and he says that
if he were in Northern State, where slave
ry was Improbable, he would vote for a
free State and that if he were in South
ern State, were slavery was profitable, he
would vote for a slave State.
He loathes and detests the cant and
hypocrisy and false philanthropy of the
Northern pulpit.
He is unalterably opposed to the dan
gerous notion that there is an irrepressi
BILE conflict between the North and the
South
He is for enforcing the Fugitive Slave
Law.
"He believes that the Constitution has
been violated and the rights Of the South
wantonly trampled upon by the personal
liberty bills Of the North.
He believes in the Kansas Nebraska
bill that the people of a Territory have
the right to decide the slavery question for
themselves, subject only to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and that if the
Territorial Legislature acts unconstitution-
ally in regard to the question, that the Su-
preme Court has authority to declare that
action unconstitutional and void, and he is
willing to abide by the decision of the Su-
preme Court, whatever that may be.
He Is in favor of the acquisition of
Cuba by honorable means.
g he is in favor of vigorous foreign
policy. He believes in the Monroe doc
trine.
"These are some OF the reasons WHY the
South should be willing to nominate Judge
Douglas.
Another great reason, and one, too, that
should have no small weight, is, that the
great Union-loving, conservative masses of
the North, universally desire his nomina-
ton.
They desire it because he entertains
views identical with them.
"Ihey desire it because they believe they
can elect him.
They desire it, because, with him as
their leader. they can redeem their res spect-
I've States from the fanatical rule of Black
Republcanism.
They desire it because, with him at
the heal OF their ticket, they can elect
Democratic Senators and Democratic Leg
iSlatures.
They desire it because they wish to re-
buke treason at the ballot-box."
