The North-Carolinian., 1860-02-25
JUDGE DOUGLAS.

We are satisfied that those who have read the
speech of this great statesman must acknowledge
that it has placed him in the position of champion
of Southern rights. We have never read more
able and mastery effort in life. and confess
that it has entirely banished any objections which
we might have had to his nomination at Charleston
This speech, added to the remarks made by Mr.
Douglas in the Territoraf Caucus upon the resolu-.
tori sf ksown Of Mss 4 has PLACED him @lye. al
question upon his former standing in the party in
estimation During this caucus, he said that
his convictions were that territory could abolish
avery, but, he wished the question left entirely to
the courts for their decision This is all want
this is all the South should demand. We consider
the position of Mr. Douglas, in this respect as ma
tonal Mr. Davis of Miss and in fact, more effect
ual in preserving the rights of the South in the
Territories because, what Mr. Davis demands can
never be received viz: protection by Congress.
The North will not grant it now, because the right
to it is not expressly decided by the to exist
If it is decided Gas it has already by implication)
then will receive it.
