SOUTHERN DOUGLAS MEN THE REPUBLI-
CANS PRAISE YOU, CAN YOU STAND |
THE INFLICTION?
Says the Hartford Times, among the Black
Republican papers that endose, more or less
fully, the position assumed by Senator Doug
las, in the presnt contest, are
l. The New York Tribune, which de-
clares that Mr.. Douglas is fighting "gal-
liant battle" for which it "admires" him
and that so far as "his principales and pol
icy tend IN the right direction,' be has its
sympathy and respect" Admiration and
sympathy from the New York Tribune p
What does this mean?
2. The Albany Evening Journal, the
leading Black Republican sheet in New
York State, which declares in Mr.. Douglas
speech in Albany, last Friday night, that
it was just such speech as Abe. Lincoln
would have made ! It adds that Mr.. DIS
doctrines will be "vindicated and estab>
isbed" by the election of Republican
President !
3 The Springfield Republican, which hail
ed his speech at Springfield as a revelation
of the aims and purposes of the "new Doug
las" and declared that he used good Gre
publican reasoning" and that he went fur
ther to "please the anti-slavery sentiment"
than he ever went before-that he "never
stated his Popular Sovereignty doctrine
more boldly and fairly before and that it
was interesting to see how he turned upon
Northern side of it so as to catch the ap
pause of the anti>slavery sympathies Of his
audience"
These indications, as the Albany Eve,
ming Journal significantly remarks, serve tc
"sh0w where things are drifting" Wher
Forney denounced the proposed union Of
f the Democracy in Pennsylvania, but ex'
pressed desire for the union of the Doug
q las Democrats with the Black Republicans
he, too, showed that he saw where thing
were drifting We are glad to know tina
5 large number of the Douglas Democrat
c in Pennsylvania are ready to repudiate sucl
/ leaders They are not prepared to admi
9 the truth of the Tribune's declaration tina
these things are "tending in the right di
recton.'
0 Mr.. John p. Hale, distinguished mem
bers of the Black Republican party has bee
q recently addressing the people of Boston OIL
\ the state of the Union, and among othe
) things remarked in reference to /" the Doug
c las party" as follows:
! "Thc Douglas wing of that party ha
e made great progress, and great credit is du
: them. He could be just to bis opponents
lie The Douglas party had made such progre'
b. that they have come to the condition of con
rs pletc and stolid indifference, and do uot car
e, e, whether slavery is voted up oC down. The
" had come on neutral ground, aud he ha
le no love or repect for those who occupy ner
e tral ground, There have always been sue
a. men. They wanted to wait till the bait
!. was over, and thea they could come out an
" join the strongest party. They are doir
" our work, and when they make their ne,
4. step it will not 60 backwards, and the gre
n mass of the Douglas party will stand vii
= Is US. The sympathies of most of the Dou
he las party are with the Republicans
ed Mr.. Burlingame in Republican meetin
on the other evening, said he felt rcjoiced eve
< time he saw Douglas banner, for he kue
"a "a those who enlisted uader it had desert
eS eS the service of slavery. They had come ha
n way, and had better join the forces of tt
free. Douglasism, then, is the hafNw
he house on the road to Black Republicans
,as nS in Mr.. Burlingame's estimation. 1t m
,aI M be well to remember that.-Lo'oeU AdV.
