Coming Events Cast their Shadows Before
ibata change is coming over the spirit of sOm'
Incn. lay be inferred from careful pcrusal o
the cnrious newspapers published in diiieren
ragta of the South. That Judge Douglass ha
been eNceedingly obnoxious to the South, on ac
cyuut Of his peculiar ideas about territorial mat
ters,is hnown to all and the bitter condemnation
with which he was greeted, has been general -
We have objected to this incorporate assault up
on Limr in consideration Of the fact that he
bearded the Black Lion in his den, in his contest
with Lincoln, and throttled the monster so elltct-
uay, ms to crush the very life out of it, in Hi
nois a'i this ,ras done in the name of Dcmocra-
cy Notwithstanding the feud with tho Admin
istrntun, and the antagonism of Douglas pre-
vious IDEAS with the known interest of the South
be is becoming tolerable to many Southern men,
from the course he has recently pursued in the
Senate. Some politicians see 10 his present atti-
tude backing down from his opposition stand
point, and seem willing to bury the hatchet We
come to these conclusions from many facts, and
without endorsing the position of these men, we
make the following quotation from the Bonham
Era, oontaning the proceedings of the Hunt
County Convention. The following resolutions
were adopted
3D. Fhat, in the main, we approve of the ad-
miHistration of James Buchanan that we fully
endorse Ills position on the territorial question
IN opposition to the doctrine Gnuuciated by Ste
phen A. Douglas; but, should the Charleston
Convention in their wisdom see fit to nominate
Mr. Douglas as their candidate for the Preslcn-
~, We will support him for the purpose Of de-
icating the candidate of the Black Republican
party,
Nh That we believe the election of Black
Republican to the Presidency in 1860, will seri-
ously endanger the Union, if it does not result
~ its dissolution.
Ssh That we view with alarm the present as
pect Of political affairs, and that We deem it the
duty Of every lover of his country and friend of
the Constitution and Union, to unite in defeating
the Black Republican party in tie ensuing Pres
Dental election.
From the above we gather that the people Of
Hunt are willing to overlook grave error in
consideration of the fact that Douglas is found
identified with the Democracy in opposition to
the common enemy of the South and the Union,
the Black Republican party 1t seems not i'm
probable that he will refrain from any active dis
cussion Of his territorial views, through regard
to the Importance of preserving the party united
IN the coming struggle. This seems not improb
able from the following statement from Hon.
DeAzon Smith, published in the San Fancisco
Herald
DELAzoN SMITH ON GEN. LANES CHANCES FOR THE
CHARLESTON NOMINATION..
Confrmatory of our view relative to the pros
poets Of Gen. Lane for the Charleston nomna-
ton, set forth editorially in an article in the
Courier of last week, we append the subjoined
portion Of speech delivered by Delazon Smith,
late U. $. Senator from Oregon, before Demo-
cratic Convention held at Eugene city
believe that citizen of Oregon will be NOM
mated Mt Charleston for President or Vice Presi-
dent. My friend, Mr.. Bush, tells the people of
Oregon, upon the authority of that quasi-Demo-
cratic paper, the Missouri Republican, that Gen.
Lane is not fit for the Presidency. Heis so much
IN love with that extract, (probably bacause he
likes the sound of it,) that he has republished
it as many as five or SIX times. Now | could
furnish the Statesman with matter enough to
hll column after column, for weeks, from the
Democratic papers of the States, highly eulogis
tic Of Gen. Lane. James Buchanan (and he has
some inauence) said to me that he believed, as
he lived, Gen. Lane would be the nominee of the
Charleston Convention. He said he believed he
believed he was the only man who could carry
the State of Pennsylvania "for, (said hey there
were from five to ten thousand men in the State of
Pennsylvania who fought with him in Mexico,
who would die for him. So said Mr.. Brecsen
rIu~e and Mr.. Douslas | had conversation
with Sir. Douglas before leaving Washington; 1
asked him, ' Do you intend to submit your name
20 the Charleston Convention Z ~ He said, al
am perfectly satisfied cannot get the vote of a
Southern State, and | do not want to be nomina-
Ted by section. My present purpose is to be a
delegate myself, from illinois, to the Charleston
Convention, to use my exertion to have them
adopt my platform "Well, (said y suppose
they do no. do it 20 I" am (said he) going to
stand by the Democratic party, whether they do
or not +" " Who (said y do you think will be
nominated p" Joe Lanes chances (said he)
are better than any other mans If he is nomi-
nnted will stump fften States of the Union for
him." The Indiana senator's came to me and
said--Mr. Fitch in particular That old man.
(pointirg to Gen. Lane) will be the next Presi-
dent Of the United States. With any other DEM
ocrat we expect to lose Indiana but give us old
Joe lane at Charleston and l am satisfied we
can run the Republicans of Indiana into the Ohio |
river, and drown them to the tune Of twenty-five /
