SMoTE HIM HIP AND THIGH.-Some time ago
Fitch, of Indiana,-who has no just right to
seat in the U. S. Senate, never having been le-
gally elected-was pitching into the Democracy
oftae Little Giant in his usually coarse STYLE
News had just reached Washington that the In
diana Democratic State Convention had endufs=
ed Douglas Consequently Mr.. F. felt in the
mood for clustering, and bluster he did until
little Doug. hit him just two licks-one under
the left lug, the other Immediately in the bread
basket-when he sunk away clean down into his
boots, and hasn't been heard much from since.
The affair is reported thus,
Mr.. Douglas said 1t was not necessary at this
time to go into any controversy with the gen.
tleman from Indiana. He might have used these
arguments with more propriety in his own State
before the meeting of the late Democratic Con-
venton
Mr. Fitch replied thai the action of that Con-
vention might add to the Senator's vote at
Charleston, but according to the rules govern
ing former Conventions, 1t did not give him
votes enough to secure his nomination. Did he
then expect to transfer or sell them to somebody
else?
Mr. Douglas said that the action of the recent
Convention showed that the Democrats of In
diana could not be bought.

BI- The Republicans are harder at work now
endeavoring to compass the defeat of Douglas at
Charleston, than are his bitterest enemies in the
Democratic ranks. None know so well as they
that, of all Democrats, Douglas will be the hard
est man to beat. Believing, as they do, that his
defeat at Charleston will increase the chances of
Republican success, VIC are not astonished that
they are sparing no efforts to accomplish that
consummation. To that end they imported
speakers from other States to assist them in the
municipal election of the city of Chicago, and
having again carried that heretofore stronghold
of Republicanism, are now boastng that they
have by that means damaged the prospects of
Douglas at Charleston beyond the hope of re-
covery. Fools By their operations against the
great Illinois Senator, they are daily opening the
eyes of Southern Democrats to the injustice and
madness of their hostility towards him. Hence,
leading Southern Democrats heretofore opposed
to his nomination, are now openly avowing
themselves as friends of the "Little Giant"
