Gone Over to the Enemy.

There can no longer be any
doubt as to the designs Of the Doug
las leaders. Their intention to break
up the Democratic party stands out
boldly developed in all their actions
TAs Miles Taylor circular, issued
directly afer Douglas pretended
nomination, Swallowed forth the lnten-
tons Of the "squatter sovereign"
which are being carried out through the
oountry-no union with Breckenridge
democrats, but rather a union with
KaowNothiags which ever may be the
most conducive to the destruction
Of the Democratic party. This is
the platform Of Douglas friends,
who, if they cannot rule, are de-
termined to ruin. Nothing but the
strong and self-condemniag facts
presented by the parties themselves
could have made US believe in this
trsiterous scheme of Judge Douglas
and his friends. But the facts show
them every where cealescing with the
enemies Of Democracy, either by
an open fusion or by professadly
independent course, when that will
best serve their purpose Of snmity
/ TO Democracy.
Most reluctantly are We forced to
the conclusion that disappointed am
bitten has so operated upon the
mind Of Judge Douglas, that he is
deliberately planning and purposiug
purpose intended to discover asd de-
fsat the Democratic party. There
car be no doubt Of the fusion with the
old Know Nothing party in Kan
