The Republican papers are very much ex-
orcised ever the brilliant ovations which have
attended Judge DouorAs tour through the
New England States They attempt 70 ridi-
cule and denounce him as electoneering 70
advance himself to the Presidency. They
may rant and rail and ridicule 70 their hearts
content, but the people like to hear an ex-
preston Of principle on the part Of their can
didates they like TO know what they advocate
what they are in favor Of Judge DoUoLAs is
neither ashamed nor afraid TO lay his princi
pies before the the public Not so with Mr.
LINCOLN. He is afraid to give reason for
the faith that is in him. He has suffered
the Republican managers to put paddock
on his mouth, and "mum" is the word. In
answer 10 number Of inquiries in regard to
his position upon certain important questions
Of National policy, we have the reply that it
is the wish and desire Of bis political advisers
that he eremain quiet during'the campaign, and
enunciate no political views They fear he
might give utterance to some sentiment that
might not accord with their prescribed plat
form for the campaign-perhaps inaugurate
an ''rrepressible conflict" in their ranks.
Judge DoUoLAs has given his political opin-
ions whenever called upon, freely aud fear
lessly. He has given them to the world aud
stands ready and eminently able to defend
them against all opposition. Would il not be
better ifthose Republican editors who are en-
deAvoring to be funny over Judge DoUGIAs
tour through the colonial States, turn their
attention to controverting the doctrines which
he is promulgating, IL they believe them erro-
neous But very little have they to say in
opposition to the great doctrine which he ev.
erywhere enunciates. The reason is obvious
The doctrine Of selEgovernment is invulner-
able. The venomed shafts Of the Southern
Secessionists have fallen harmless before it,
and the denunciations Of Northern disunion-
lists have failed TO decrease its popularity with
the people.
Judge DorGLAs will not suffer paddock 20
be put upon his lips He speaks out, and
meets the consequences. He wants the peo-
pie to vote knowingly. Now, which is the
more honorable, the course ofJudge DoUGLAs,
who, in answer to the voice of the people,
proclaims his political sentiments, and defends
them, or that Of Mr.. LINCOLN, who, when in
terrogated as to his position upon certain po-
litical ISSUES, replies, in substance, that his
political advisers deem it prudent for him to
remain "mum" during the campaign2 Let
the people answer at the ballot box

What has become of the Republican rail
argument () We see no mention of it in the
Republican papers now Has it palled upon

of those engaged in vending the article. 1t

thing ''must be did" Let those most inter
ested see TO it.

editor of the Journal had remained at The
Rancho long enough to hear what Mr. KELLAR
did say, he could have reported him correct
