1ne ea'tor Of the chicago Times is lucky
man. lie camc berc when the cause Of Doug
Las was in great disfsvor in the city md State,
and by lis rare abiIity, energy and foresight,
onlst up out Of the most unpromising uatcri-
III "''sh which ever man worked, party that
has once carried the city aud more thai. ouce
successfully consended with the Republicans
1or Tue supremacy Of the Stale. He was
largely instrumental in nc'clecting 1fr. Doug
las to the Senate, and he has in many other
ways proved bis capability as leader. That
ut this time lie should be anxious to realize
something from his arduous labor and direc.
his energies to other pursuits, beEore Noye,u-
ber proves that Il great political revolution
Which he WIS powerless to stay has been ac-
complished, and that Mr.. Douglas, whose for
tunes ho has so long bols!ered up, haa bccr
ia'd on the Shelf is only another ~ ..:,1dcuce of
the keenness with which he looks into the
'utuFos We arc gla1 to ;aeaz, though wo bare
A8o many political bout with him, that the
zr'i:e at which he has sold out Is satisfactory
to hiraself and that, ndded to his earnings, i.
will enable him to establish himself il new
and mere favorable field. That he has taken
et1a step Is Ct course an open confeesion to
the world that he considers Mr.. DOUGLASS
chances to be a1l gone, else be would l,ayc
put OF the sale until such time as a party
triumph had doubled the value Of his prop.
erty, aud until be could have secured for hin.
self snug retreat in which he could harc
added Official honor AID euoluneut to the
fruit Of his labor.
1tdoes Rot become us 10 speak Of the intes-
f'ons Of the purchaser; but reasoning from
all tue known premises, it is fair to presume
that the prime object Of the paper under the
new management will be tho triumph o1
Brecki0ridge. to le reached by the SUCCESS d
Douglas in two or three Noathe1n STATES
whereby the contest will be thrown into the
House. That such q result would be cmi,
nently satisfactory to tho proprietor, We have
no donl'.- It nov remains to BE- seen how ia,
the Douglas men Of Illinois wM second him il
bis endeavor. The question for them is, "Dc
you prefer Breckenridge to Lincolu?s This
they will answer at the polls.
We shall take leayc Of Mr. Sheahan with
regret. He has dealt us many Mows-some
foul and some fair; but VIC have nothing bu1
