Douglas and the slave coae.

Non-intersentlon, as proclaimed BY Doug
las, 10 Dot 0n-lnteryention as understood b v
The people. lie does not say that the Gen
erhl GovernmeIt shall 1aepeT, under any cir
cuinstAnees, interfere for the protection of
slavery 10 the Territories. That wonld be
passing over the boundary line IF Repnbli-
canism. But, he says, there must be no in
tervention to protest slavery except where
tho Courts say it legally exists and, he saws,
the Conrts say il legally exists on every foot
OF soil over which the jurisdiction OF the
United States extends now, or over which it's
jurisdiction may extend hereafter!
Practically, therefore, Douglas doctrine
OF non-interyertiou, with his judicial adden-
da Is, in form and in substance, IN reality
and 10 fact, nothing more nor less than a
declarasion'ef the duty Of Congress TO pass
laws TO protect slavery in all the Territories,
for in all the Territories (aceording 60 his
interpretation of their decision) the Courts
say il now exists. The advocates of a Slave
Code ask nothing more than this, and Doug
las proposes to give them nothing less.
This ~ the sctual fact of the case, but the
rank and die Ct the Douglas faction will not
believe IL, unless the hypocricy OF their lead
ers is made pspable TO them by some such
process as the presentation of an Electoral
Ticket pledged to vote for Douglas or Breck-
inriage, as circumstances would require
ihdf would open their eyes, and bring them
to practical examination OF the question
whether, after al, this 10 not contest for
men rather than for principle.
Ii ID because tits believed that such nnion
Of the factions would excite to such an en-
quiry, and result in greater loss than gain to
the Democracy, that there is the least hest
tation in conslmmating what so many advo-
cate and desic. 1t would be dangerous
experiment, and would result fatally if tried.
Republicans apprehend no mischief from it.
lt.woald place in their hands weapon with
which they could batter the rotten hulk OF
Democracy 10 atoms in thirty days. Let
them try the experiment if they dsre.--[Al.

The Douglas men are very anxious
Tor victory somewhere this fall. We have
looked over the whole field, from Maine to
California, and we must confess that we can
discover no chance Of q Douglas vietory any
where North or South In a single State. The
best chance for the Douglas men of Iowa to
achieve victory 10 to abandon their own
ticket and vote for the Repub lican candi-
dates. and then they may rejoice with us in
grand triumph over the Breckinridgers in
Iowa.

The Louisville Democrat is hard on the
elected Vice President of the Democracy 10
the following PARALLEL
In the early times of our Government
there lived man whose talents were of the
hrst order, whose manners were exceedingly
captivating, and whose early life was one
continued triumph. A pet OF the people,
nothing that be could ask was refused, and
honors seemed to wait him on oil sides. La
military, legal and political achievements be
had no equal. Honors gathered upon him
almost like magic, and at very early age
he was made the next highest officer in the
Government. This was his eliminating
point. One step more and be would have
been the arss man by position 10 the nation.
But time mss.d too slowly for him. Anoth-
er confederacy seemed possible, and one bold
move would place BIN supreme over it.
In later times there lives man, and all
can draw the parallel.
