Judge Douglas had an enthusiastic re-

presence of 5000 people.
In the middle Of his address, a slip ol
paper was handed to him. It was cut
from the Norfolk Daily Argus. and con-
tanned two polite questions:
The LIST is: .'If Abraham Lincoln be
elected President of the United States.
would the Southern States be justified in
seeding from the Union" Mr.. Doug

swer No !" Great applause.
"The election of a man to the Presi

at dissolving this glorious Confederacy."
EApplause1

Il answer emphatically. that It is the
duty of the President Of the T. 4 States
and all in authority under hin. to en-
force the laws of the United Sta.es pass
ell BY Congress, and as the Courts ex-
pound them. and /. as in dnty bound by
my oath and fidelity to the Constitution,
would do all in my power to aid the
Government Of the United States in
maintaining the supremacy of the laws

"In other words, l think the President
Of the United States should treat all at

tance to its laws as Old Hickory treated

Who ever thought of Douglas beyond
the moment of seeing his name mention
cd in some Congressional report, as long
- either of the above mentioned great
men lived Who dreamed. then, that
be would ever ire to the Presidency
He was REGARDED as one of the lowest
grade Of Senators, who never uttered 9TH
er than commonplace remarks, and was
noted lin the Congressional records } only
for giving strictly partisan votes. No
speech of his was ever published, except
in the Appendix to the Congressional
Globe, or in some Illinois country news
paper in his interest. He was never ta.
ken into consideration in the great affairs
of Congress. farther than to calculate that
his vote would count one on the Demo-
cratic side Of some closely contested mea-
sure. He was never quoted as authority,
and no Senator ever arose purposely to
answer his arguments-it would have
been q waste of time. His speeches and
snsrling Interruptions appeared in the
Congressional reports, as part Of the
proceedings, and were only read and com.
mented upon as the outpourings of his
tools. "dirty work" Logan and "fire-
eating Yallsndigham, now are-as the
natural ebullitions of bulldog nature
because they were in the proceedings, and
could not escape notice. In short, his
position in the Senate was that of the
half. burnt and broken bricks in a wall
jammed in to gil up, but never assigned
q place where it was desirable to have
strength or finish.
But Clay, Webster and Calhoun died,
and Benton left the Senate. Then, and
not till then. did Douglas distinguish
himself. Unable to conceive and carry out
any great and good measure. he hesitatsd
not to render his name notorious by de-
stroying the grand fabrics erected by the
Fathers Of the Republic, as tokens Of o
covenant of peace between the North and
the South. Far better to have remained
in obscurity, than to distinguish himself
in the disgraceful manner he did-by
overthrowing 9 compact which had been
80 sseredly guarded by the great spirits
that had just departed, and violating the
cherished principles Of the founders Of the
Government! Then, and in that way,
did Douglas become famous. For this
he is termed the "greatest living states
man," and claimed to occupy the position
Of Clay. Webster, Calhoun and Benton!

considers his case bilious, is significant.
ly foreshadowed in recent dispatches from
the South. It will be recollected how
he has heretofore spurned all coalition
with the Breckinridge wing; but the
same dispatch that announced his arri-
val in Raleigh, stated that he would i'm.
mediately set about making arrange
ments for fusion with the Breckenridge
party. This sudden subsiding of his grit,
is as much as if to say. "If 60 it alone,

haps a careful calculation would have
reduced it below that amount. We

He knows equally as well. that every
