WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.
Mr.. Douglas made his long promised speech
yesterday, and it was a disappointment to many
if not most of the people gathered to hear it.
The fact is that Mr.. Douglas plays two parts
in the Senate, the one as unlike the other as
comedy is unlike tragedy. To see Mr.. Doug
las in full battle with Senators Davis, Clay,
Green and others, is exciting and exhilerating.
but to see him in the character of a doughfaee.
paying court to the great slave power, is a sad
dening, if not a sickening spectacle. He came
out yesterday in the officiating line-he made
his great bid for the Charleston nomination,
and acknowledged by his speech that he con-
sidered the South the dictator of that Conven-
ton and its course. For he did not pay court
to Northern sentiment, nor to ~the'popular SOW
ereignty worshipers-it was to the Shareholders
that he presented his petitions, and in as hum
BILE and contented a spirit as. they could ask
Having, as he thinks, secured nearly all the
free State delegates to the Convention, his de-
fianee game is up, and he now wishes to soothe
fiatter and quiet the Southern politicians and
people. The great thing now is for him to get
the support of a respectable portion Of the
Southern delegates at Charleston. That point
gained, and he viii doubtless endeavor1 to SO
his course as to carry the South and a
few of the Northern States. The Southern
Opposition in Congress are exceedingly anxious
for the nomination of Mr.. Douglas, for they
declare with him as the Democratic candidate,
they can carry half the slave States against
him, and thus infict for the first time a deadly
blow upon the democratic party in the South.
Aside from the matter Of Mr.. Douglas
speech yesterday, it was very inferior in style
and manner. In short, he did not do Justice
to himself, perhaps because of the state of his
health, and perhaps because it was impossible
Tor any man living or dead to make a great
paecA In Wch O cause.

A RIcH LOUISIANA PIANrER.-A sugar
plantation was purchased in St. James parish
La, a few days ago by Mr.. Burnside, q dry
goods merchant of New Orleans, for 100000.
This, tsays the New Orleans Delta) is consid-
cred a SPLENDID investment, as there are some
seven or eight thousand acres in the tract, and
under good management it ought to produce
two thousand hogsheads of sugar. This pur-
chase viii swell the investments Of Mr.. Burn
side, in sugar culture, to nearly two millions.
His slaves now exceed one thousand. Three
years ago Mr.. B purchased the magnificent
Houmas estate, with some five hundred slaves,
from Colonel John Preston, the cost of which
with addition of slaves and lands, exceeded a
million of dollars.
