The New York Tribune's View OF the
Character of Senator Douglas.

The New York Tribune, which, as is well
known, was always strongly opposed politically
to Mr.. Douglas, in an article announcing his
probable death, paid the following handsome
tribute to his character. II said:
,"SENAToR DoUoLAs.-The loss of Stephen A,
Douglas at this crisis, and there is little room
for hope Of his recovery, must be regarded as q
national calamity. With whatever faults of
character-we would rather say Of education
Mr.. Douglas was always and eminently an
AMEMcAN statesman. Sprung from the people
and proud Of his origin-prompt intrepid, self.
assured-he was the best of-hand, tit.for.tat
debater in America-perhaps in the world. En-
tering the political arena poor, undistinguished,
unfriended, without family influence, imposing
presence or personal following, in mainly
Southern-born community to whom he was a
stranger and q Yankee adventurer, he filed,
before he was thirty five years of age, the Of
fees successfully Of States Attorney General,
AssembIyman, Register Of Land office, Secre.
tary Of State, Judge of the (State) Supreme
Court, member of Congress (EIouse), to which
he was thrice elected after being once defeated
and finally entered the Senate of the United
States when but thirty FIVE years old. We
doubt that another American-we are sure that
no other who ever began political life with SO
few Advantages held 30 many and such
desirable stations before he had passed the meri
dian Of the appointed life Of man. He has since
served fourteen years In the Senate, or through.
out seven successive Congresses, always evinc.
ing vigor of intellect and fertility of re-
source which commanded the respect Of antag-
onists and the admiration Of his many devoted
friends"

A significant Rebuke.

Der of papers (some Of them of commanding in.
fiaence in the Republican party) have urged a

Executive duties. The papers referred to desig
nate Hon. DAVID TOP as the proper man for the
occasion, and the most ultra Republican, among
them concede to him those high qualities, com
manding administrative talent. patriotism and
integrity, which are now demanded in pre- emf
nens degree, and to all which Col. ToD's old
friends most heartily subscribe, knowing, as they
do, that be is AN ABLE AND AN HONEST MAN.
This indication among Republicans is not in
the direction desired by the higher-law JOHN
Baows men, and hence it is met by the Ashta-
bula Sentinel with q fat rebuke. That paper
OF the 81 of June thus speaks on the subject:
