DOUGLASS PourIcAL DurLicITY.--Thc lei
ters of Mr.. Douglas 10 members OF the Bal
timore Convention, and his address 10 tie
crowd in Washington, on Saturday, are fully
evincive of that political duplicity that has
characterized his every action upon the s!a-
very issue. From the letters and address,
we are left to infer that the only cause OF
Democratic dissension was induced by the
Southern wing demanding "the intervention
of the federal government for slare,y." Mr..
Douglas knows full we'll that such is not the
fact, and he moreover knows that the South
is entirely content to consider the Compro-
mise measures as "a fnality," SO far as Con-
gressional intervention TO e$tob|jSh or pro-
hibH slarery in the Territories is concerned.
He knows, too, that the principal cause o!
difference between the two wings Of the De-
mocracy, is not as to ''Congrcssonal' but
"7e,7tiorial legislation"-as clearly express
ed in the first resolution of the Southern
Democracy's platform. 1t is the 7srritor'M
power that is mainly in issue, and that ques-
ton Mr.. Douglas wholly ignores in MS so
phistical letters and address, and, in 50 do
ing, fully displays his duplicity and purpose
to mislead SOUTH.

In his protest against the clause of the
appropriation bill. designating Capt. Meigs
rs the superintendent Of the Washington
AQuetluct, the President objects to any such
designation; but he does not believe it was
the intention of Congress to interfere with the
constitutional right of the President as com
mander-in-c hiet Of the army, to order Capt.
Neigs elsewhere. and he asserts that his au-
thoritv remains to send him away to super
intend the erection of Notifications or other
WORKS. 1t was evident to him that Congress
intended nothing more than to express a de-
cidcd opinion that Capt. Meigs should be
continued in the employment Of superlnten-
ding the construction OF the aqueduct. Is
the appropriation constitutlonaH and will 1t
fail, if he should not think it proper and cx-
pedient To regard this designation are CUES
tons which shall receive his serious corsid-
Grafton, because. on this will depend whether
the water works shall be arrested for anoth-
es season. He now desires to express no
opinion, bit this question should be careful
IL considered, If il becomes necessary.

that 4. ". Fitci, the Icdinn Agent, made lis
appearance at tie polls early in the morning, for
the purpose OF cOercing the Indians into voting
the pro siayerytcket.
For some tine past the Indians have been
convinced o. tie utter lack Of all principle Ia the
so-cal'ed Democratic party, and very many Of
them had res,lved to vote the Republican ticket.
Nr. Fitch had become sppfised Of the fact and
accordingly .ttended the election in person. lie
took his position az the polls aud a. the Indians
went TO de'osit their votes, he demanded their
tickets. through fear they gave them I'D TO
him. Heihen would hand baak to them Dem.

that lie continued his operations for some
time, ufil the citizens became exasperated. and
told hn plainly that he was transgressing the
Law, si must stand aside and let the Indians
vote 8 they saw fit. He refused to do 50. The cit
izensihen crowded him away, and kept pas
sage~ay open 50 that the Indians could vote un-
uaolfted- The result was Republican triumph.

tat the people Of Isabella county will make this

il loss is to continue to accrue by Western cur
rency, it shall no; fall upon them. They have
formally resolved, in a public meeting held for
that purpose, that they will after this receive
Western money for goods, or upon note or ac-
count, only as it stands in the market, subject to
such discount as it may be at from day to day
At present the rate of discount is from eight
to ten per cent. This course, so far as it oper.
ates, viii be to drive it out Of circulation, and

A WONDERFUL TnISG.-The y. Y. Tribune
very pertnently observes: Isn't il surprising
that party which has just fought and fairly wor
great political battle that has turned mainl,
upon the extension Of Slavery, should not be
ready the next day after the election, to turn
around and resign all it has contended for, be
cause its defeated opponents threaten to destroy
the Government. and because, by their lavles:
course, they have already deprecated the value
of property by hundreds of millions, Insteal
of yielding, the Republicans think it is best tt
have the matter all out now, SO that the country
may not be exposed to repetitions Of the same
wickedness and folly.
