Information for the Signal.

At the conclusion of An article in onr issue
of the 25th of August last, entitled Non
Intervention" we charged upon Mr.. Douglas
thai he had voted in the Congress of the
United States TO extend he Wimo Pro,so
over the Territories of Utah and New Mexi
go. Now, our c"temporarv of the Siqnal,
knows certain that Douglas voted agansf
that measure in l847 and calls uon us for
proof Of our assertion. 1t is not to be won
Il red a, lha, he cannot credit the lime serv-
ing contradictory course Of his regular
nonin e" for the Presidency.
1t seems that in lS47 the three million
bill being under consideration in the House
of Represen alives, of which Mr. Douglas
was then member, Wilmot moved TO al
'ach his proviso to it, and Mr.. Douglas vo-
ted agains, it
The Senate having passed a similar bill
Wi|mot moved to attach his provis" To ibis
hill when it came into the House, and Doug
las voted against this AS amendments, they
were inrongrous and out Of order, and did
not afford him the opportunity to directly
intervene
As soon, however, as he bad that oportu
nifty, and which occurred during the session
of 40 and so, he improved it AS we have
stated. On pages 743 and 744. Of the see
ond vol. of "Benlons thirty ars in the U
s. Senate there is a brief history of the
organization of those territories in the Sen
ate, where Mr. Douglas then had a seat, from
which we make the following extract:
MIR. Seward of New York, proposed the
renewal of the Wilno' proviso;"
"Neilher slavery nor involuntary servude
Otherwise than hy conviction for crime, shall

OF Utah aud New Mexico"

Nessrs Editors. There was an unusual
stir among the citizens of Forest Hill this
evening. The true Democracy turned out
in large numbers and met at the Hall OF the
United Emblens. The meeting was organ
lied by elacting DR.. Parkhurst President.
Horace Smith Esq, was then called tor,
who came forward and addressed the meet
ING at some length, and was repeatedly
cheered during his remarks. The Douglas
ties attempted to create a disturbance dur
iny the time by bois;erous and very ungen
tlenanly conduct, but were Immediately
siIenred by there being proposed three cheers
for Breckenridge and Lane. which was res
ponded to with hearty good will. lhe
Dougs finding their number so few. left the
field. and were only heard from afierward
in neighhoring Saloon, in tones that sound
ed very much like brandy straight. After
Mr. Smith, Jas Anderson, ESQ., was called
upon, whose brief remarks, with well select
ed facts. proved Douglasism to be a humbu-
and Douglas to be somewhat like :he little
Joker snow YOU see it, and now you don,
see it," AT the close tn ee deafning cheers
were given for Breckenridge and Lane, and
the meeting then adjourned.
SET Forest Hill down for Breckenridge
and Lane sure. Yours in haste.

Douglas an Arttul Dodger.


Although we hear men loudly proclaim
ng now for Douglas who have steadily and
fought the Democratic party
for years, i, is very evident they are but lit
tie versed even in the acts of their great idol.
In fac, they are boas,er- with but little
knowledge of that of which they speak.
They cannot even tell the "great acts" that
Douglas performed in the U. S. Senate at
its last session. Ask one of them, and lis
more than likely that they will answer that
they "dnnt know" Let us enlighten them
for they are in n ed of information.
During the whole of the last Session up
on any question cf Impotence, upon which
great statesman. might elevate himself in
the eyes of the nation, Mr. Douglas
was found inactive except upon 'hr absurd
doctrine Of squatter sovereignty. In fact he
was the "Shirking Senator" all winter
PLAYING f l. Presidential capital.
When the Democrats of the U. s. Senate
determined To re construct the committee on
Territories, and leave him on, as Chairman
WAS he there to vindi ate himself? No, he
suddenly took pluerisy,
When Judge Hann announced the death
Of Brulerck. and tribute WAS paid to his
memory in that body. why WAS Douglas not
there to s eak to the memory of him wh'
had been the warmest supporter of his prn
ciples! Doug, was again indi>posed.
When the question of the admission Of
Kansas came up. in which he professed to
have so much interest, be paired of. and by
so doing was enabled to s!iik rhe question
And when t Homestead bill WAS to be
voted on, he had very convenient sore
throat
And so You might 90 on in following the
little trimmer" Whenever a question wa.
up. on which a Senator had Il chance to vim
d;cate himself or show himself grra, states
man he was absent had the pleurjsy, wa
SICK at the stomach, paired Of, or had a SOY
M,odt
When il was known all over Washington
City that Senator Benjamin intended io
speak against Douglas. what became Of the
little giant: he was absent, ,-never appear
ell in his seat.
His whole Object seemed to be. during lh'
Session TO rehash his Harper's Magazine
communication. and his Squaiter speeches
positions. which have been so roughly hand
led by his brother S nators.
Since the adjournment he has been travel
ing around The country reddling his squat
ter principles like a very hue ks'er. And in
every speech he rptails his stereotype,
sqna,icr severe gniy notions. He is in the
