The DaIp Nens gives thirty.tw reasons why
Judse Douglas should be chosen the next Presl-
dent. If it bad added that another reason would
make the number exactly equal to The number of
the States, and that in itself made the thirty third
in his favor, the let would have been complete.
But the imagination of The Netcs unhOppily gave
out Mt Just that point, and so the "happy" cOncet
wa Lost TO it, 1t would have been by no means the
lie act conclusive of the tbirty.three.
The first reason The Ne,oS gives is good one,
and squaIely pat. 1t starts with the assertion
that the Judge should be President because he is
and always has been sound Democrat. We are
Dot disposed to q ariel with that proposition TAX
ing tse word Democrat in its party senee, and read
Oh. We 6nd presently another reason, which is
that be is tue to Democratic principles. a slight
repetition, 1t strikes us, but pardOnabe under the
circumstances, considering the number of reasons
that have 70 be found why Douglas should be the
choice of the people. Passing by some others, We
lea that another IeasOn why the man, who is and
always has been sound Democrat, ADD who is
true 10 DemooIatic principles, shoald be chosen,
is, that be sustains Democratic principles. There
is little ssmene in the statement, but it is in
portrait that there should be no doubt on point of
so much importance, and we are, there ore, not at
all impatient, sven when we learn still further
that Judge Douglas, who is and always has been
a sound Democrat, who is true 70 Democratic
principles, and who also sustaiOs Democratic prin-
ciples, Is also certain beside TO maintain Demo
CT attic principles. Certainly here are four very
good reasons, which we commend to tho earnest
consideration of good Democrats every where, and
we are glad TO cinch them with fifth, namely, that
Judge Douglas has never fater9d from Democratic
principles. Twenty seven reasons still remains
does the reader hope they are all as good as these
Let him not be impatient. The NeuS knows what
1t is talking about, and We may take its word for
it that, as the fret reason why Judge Douglas
should b. chosen President ia, that he is and al
way has been sound Democrat, that he is also
true to Democratic principles, that he likewise
susiaiDs Democratic principles, that further
more he maintains Democratic princi lles,

and never faltered from, Democratic principles,
aud who, therefore possibly thcrefore-is a

party, would never sanction any act that would
