ELEGANT EXTRACTS"
The disaffection of Judge Douglas, and the
course the Press is now pursuing viii only have
a tendency to consolidate the South, and render
her Union still more close.-APpedl, Dec. 22d,
1857.
Mr.. Douglas denies that the slavery question
has been submitted, because the right of the
owners of slaves now in Kansas has been secured
explicitly right which Judge, Douglas ought
to be the last man to deny, because he stands
pledged to this decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States, and in the bred Scott case it
is held clearly that the right to carry slaves into
a Territory can never be impaired. Mr.. Douglas,
therefore, in assuming the position, places him
self in direct opposition to the Constitution as
construed by the Supreme Court This dilemma
is a most awkward one for a man who has
heretofore been trusted and beloved by the
soutl ern Democracy. ~ 1t is directly
identical with the position of the Black Bepubli-
cans, and we cannot wonder that the latter are
singing peans to his late efforts. How sad to re-
feet that he who so lately boldly confronted and
conquered these enemies of the Constitution,
should now be working with them, if not for the
same ends, at least for the same means--ippeal,

But now that ~ Senator Douglas has placed
himself in opposition to the wise policy of a
Democratic President 81 the Eagle, for once,
sbandons its so called Federalism, and joins the
New York Tribune and other Black Republican
prints, in singing hallclgjahs to the lately de-

If we desire cumulative evidence that Mr..
Douglas is wrong in bis present position we
should desire nothing stronger than the appro-
baton of such journals as the Eagle and the
Tribune. If there be any Democrat who is pom
dering, in doubt, whether to sustain the patri-
otto 70 iton of the President or to fly off with
Douglas upon bubbles and technicalities, thus
insuring the applause of Black Republicans, we
respectfully point them to the position of the
Eagle and the Tribune. If they can. then, any
longer doubt we give them over as lost forever

No prominent leader in the Democratic ranks
ever deserted his party suddenly, and with the
avowed intention Of going over to the enemy.
