Mr.. Douglas, in his letter Of acceptance

perpetuty of the Union have been put in joop-
ardS by attempts to interfere with and to con-
troll the domestic affairs Of the people in the
Territories, through tSe agency of the Federal

tricks are played out. Your own party turn
from you 10 disgust. The wand of your power

CooL.-While 81. Clay and Daniel Webster
we're living, Mr.. Douglas was their almost un-
scrupulous vilifer. The musketoe was con-
tiuualy stinging the elephants. Now they are
dead, Mr.. Douglas Whines, ssWhere shall we
look for another Clay, another Webster to pilot
the ship of State 2" In olden times, the faith
ers killed the prophets and their children bull
their sepulchres. The "Littie Giant" wished
to do both he has almost accomplished the
work-for himself.
AN UGLY PoRTRAIT.-The Charleston .Ner-
cury draws an ugly portrait of honest old ABE
LINCOLN. The editor has seen likeness of
the next President of the United States, which
be thus describes:
ga horrid looking wretch he is--sooty and
scoundrelly in aspect--a cross between the
nutmeg dealer, the horse-swapper, and ulght-
man--a creature fit evidently, for petty trea-
son, small stratagems, ard all sorts of spoiis. |
lie is lanksded Yankee, of the uncomliest
visage, and Que of the dirtiest complexion, and |
the most indecent comparisons. Faugh after
him, what decent white man would be Presi- |
dent"
Our candidate is not handsome, that is |
fact, but as ne is going to be President, il is |
not worth while to make fuss about it.
DOUGLAS kEPUDIATED IN CoNNEcTIoUf.--
The whole Democratic press is united in con-
deDinlng the action at Baltimore which the |
rightful Southern delegations we're excluded |
to make room for those who were without |
authority to act as the representatives of their
State, and who had no constituency to back |
them up to their claims. s.--Hartfort Times.
The fact here stated is significant. Conuec-
aeut 40 one VI she Two OF three Otates the I
slough faces expected to carry with Douglas. |
But not democratic paper in the State, it |
seems, supports him.--.atbany EUening Jour- |

ANOTHER QUARREL.--Senator Gwin, of |
California, had quarrel with the President on |
Saturday last. The war of words became very |
violent, and during the alteration the Senator |
denounced DIR. Buchanan in not very accu-
rately measured language, and concluded by
telling the old gentleman that he woald never
darken the doors Of his mansion again. Gvin |
has hitherto been Buchanan's right-haDd man,
