Sofic ., nowr.

We have noticed that several Demo.
Pcr~,iS.prp9rs Of tLc State have hereto
:dss advahcsd the idea and aitempted
TO II in,a~Pit BY force of assertioe
a'onc, that Judge Douglas is the man
and the only man upon whom the De-
mocracy could unite with any show OF
success. For a while we were of the be
lief that there was scarcely Democrat
ic paper in our State which had not Ia
ken that posi,ion-in fact, the style Of
Their endless Douglas articles seemed TO
20 to prove it. We were sorry to no.
,ice that any Democratic paper should
assume SO untenable position, and We
arc now none the less a,iied that ma
ny are softeniug down with regard to
the one man power, and taking the more
sensible and proper position, that even
though Mr.. Douglas suffer defeat at
Charleston, there are other men in the
na,ion who are equally a, good Demo
Gratis, and could carry equally as well the
strength Of the party. In SO doing they
DO not lose sigh. of Judge Douglas as
their first choice by any means, (Which
is perfectly correctly yet they feel willing
TO admit that there are othor men who
are az good Democrats, and as strong
withaI. From the Council Bluffs Bugle
of the 4,h inst, We clip the following as
the present position of that journal On
The Douglas matter, which is sensible :
The Bugie has often and distinctly expressed
its preference tor stephen A. Douglas. and as
often given its reasons tor that preference; but
we ATE very far from admitting that he is the
only KAN whom we can support with conf
dence Of giving him the electoral vote OF this
state. We believe that any man upon whom
the National Convention will unite harmon
iously, can and will be elected President in
November next; and having. since 1856. re-
duced the majority against ~ from about IL
900 to less than 1000, we are strong in the
faith Ina: the electoral of Iowa will be given
for the Democratic candidate, whoever he
may be.
That is the kind OF talk Mr.. Bugle;
we can understand that kind of Ian
guage. 1t is consistent and Demo-
cratic.
