The opposition can as well afford to
whip Stephen A. Douglas as any other
man and we rather suspect that there Is
no man in The ranks Of our enemies whose

DeUGLAs' PLEURIsY.-Wa it pleurisy,
or ingratitude? or a fear to offend the
South? The Detroit Advertiser says
sharply:
at was announced by telegraph, yes
terday, that Senator Douglas had pre-
pared eulogy on Mr.. Broderick, to be
delivered to-day, bat last night he was
severely attacked by plsurisy.' This
'pleurisy' is very convenient refuge for
Mr.. Douglas. 1t is not the first time it
has done him g good service. At the
opening of Congress, it saved him from
the necessity of showing his hand, until
he had taken full time to survey the field,
and decide what position he could take
with the most safety. Congress has now
been in session ten weeks, and be has
been iu his seat FIVE or six weeks. But
as no day had been fixed upon for an
nouncing the death of his brave aud gen.
erous-hearted friend. there was no sign Of
q return Of his disease. He seemed to
have quite recovered from it. But when
the time for that melancholy duty had
been definitely settled, and the eve Of the
day for the announcement had arrived,
he was suddenly seized with the 'pleurisy
as violently as ever. One would have
supposed that he could have found time
in six weeks to pay passing tribute to
one who had stood by him so faithfully
BuP it seems he could not. And when
the Senate was forced by public opinion
to paw the usual tribute to his memory,
and he could no longer stave it off, his
conyenient friend. the 'pleurisy,' came
to his relief at the nick Of time. sr
Douglas is lucky man to have such Z
friend, since they have murdered the best
one he ever had before"

JOHN BROWN.

This monomaniac on the subject OF
slavery, was taught, says Mr.. Bolts. by
the dominant party of Virginia to believe
that he had sympathizers, aiders and
a6ettors in that State, amongst whom
all the men of rank in the Opposition
were numbered. including himself, but
ne does not believe that any others but
those engaged in the Harper's Ferry raid
mad any knowledge of it. His blood
runs cold, and he shudders at the effort
which has been made to involve directly
and indirectly the Republican party in
TINS assault upon Virginia. Ifhs could
be brought to believe in such an idea, he
would as soon continue to iuhabit house
10 names from roof to foundation, as to
live IN political communion with that
party; bat as be is opposed to lynch

Mr. Bolts is cut in q long and intsres-

certain Opposition members Of the Vir-

views upon the various questions now ag,
itating and distracting the public mind.

PERPETUITY OF THE UNION.

The man who talks of dissolving the
Union. is shown by Mr.. Bolts to be an
ignoramus. 1t was made to be perpetu-
al. and perpetual it will be of necessity.
Its founders provided for its perpetuatiOn,
and omitted to provide for its dissolution.
His argument Oh this point is irresistible.
We may reproduce it on some future &C.
casion. He says. if Virginia should vote
to withdraw, Maryland might vote to stay

Mr.. Bolts, in conclusion, is opposed to

national legislation or BY force of arms.
In this particular he adopts Mr.. Clay''
