ARE YOU DOUGLAS MAX?-"Such is the qucs-
ton says the Richmond (Va.) Lnder, propounded
to us by secession friend If the interrogation has
been a reader of the Inder for any length of time
he surely ought not to ask the question if he merely
desires information. We have defined position
in almost every issue with the last six months in
manner which We did not suppose could admit Of
misconstruction. We have avoided an expression
Of preference for any other individual than the
nominee of the Democratic National Convention
For that individual have constantly pledged our
strong preference and our honest support. 1t is
hardly necessary for to repeat here for the thou
sandth time that we will abide the decision of
political friends in national convention.
We will go for the nominee Of the adjourned con-
venton OF the 18th June. Should Douglas be the
chosen standard bearer, will support him with
pleasure to the extent of our feeble ability. We
see no well founded reason why any Democrat Of
Virginia, or the South, should withhold his support
from Judge Douglas. The party went into conven-
ton with full knowledge vi his political position,
and with knowledge. Also Of the fact that he was
the most prominent candidate for the nomination
before the convention. Further STILL the Democratic
convention of Virginia pledged its support to the
nominee of the national convention. We hold there
FORE that the democracy of Virginia bound in
good faith to go for Mr. Douglas, should he receive
the nomination.
We confess Continues the Ihder) that we are
astOniShed to hear Southern men say that they re-
gard Douglas and Black Republican alike OBJ
jcctionable. Douglas is in favor of introducing and
protecting slavery wherever the people desire the
institution Seward and Lincoln are uncomprOmis-
ingly opposed to its introduction into any territory
on the face of the globe Douglas is for the rigid
enforcement of all existing laws for the protection
of slavery and the rights of slave owners. Seward
and Lincoln are for MULTIPLYING all such laws, and
for abolishng slavery everywhere in the irrcpressbe
conflict. Douglas is prosecuted and pursued with
demoniac malignity by the AboltioniSts because
they look upon him powerful and dangerous
foe. Seward is the champion of higher-law. Aholi
tonism and Lincoln is its standard-bearer for the
fight Of 1866.
If with the lights before Them the Southern peo
pie shall conclude that Douglas is no better than
Seward or Lincoln VIC will indulge in the excama
ton of Mark Anthony:

And men have lost their reasOn.'

"FRIESDLY Legislation" INTERVIEWS.
The Legislature of New Mexico, Territory apply
ing for admission recently passed law establishing
slavery. BY this act of friendly legislation, the Re-
publicans of the House of Representatives in Con-
gress have become indignant, and passed bill re-
peang the slavery enactment of the Territorial
Legislature. 1t was carried by seven majority
the vote standing 81 ayes, 90 noes. From the Con-
gressiona record before us that every north
ern Democrat in Congress voted with the South to
let the slavery clause remain in full force upon the
statute book. This in fact was in accordance with
their principles that Territorial Legislature has
right to pass laws on the subject of slavery, and
here the question which we have advocated at the
South safest for her institution operates against
US for the time being.
We clip the above paragraph from the Columbus
Times 1t seems says the Montgomery (Ala) Con-
federation, that every Northern Democrat voted
with the South to let the slavery clause remain;
and yet these men for aiding in the protection Of
our slavery interests, denounced traitors and
arch incendiaries. Those men who have been guilty
Of such a course, certainly should, after reading
this, feel sense of shame in their bosoms. A man
who processes to be friend evinces it by his acts
gives no quarter to the enemy is abused and de-
nounced by some Of our Southern people for enter
tanning such friendship
We await for the honest masses to say whether
these expressions shall be INDUCED in by men who
claim to be the representatives of their political
opinions"
