MR. Eplron The miserable shifts to
which the advocates Of and sympa,hzrrs
with, secession are reduced, since its weakness
has been made manifest by the recent cleo
tons, have caused them to- eudeavor TO boil
Stcr their spicable cause by an attempt to
associate with it the renera;ed maine Of the
late Judge Douglas.
tn>crupulous ma,igners Of his exalted
character and Craftsmanship, and petty de.
fancrs OF his services and talents, during his
life, they now after his death, produce detach-
cd and garfield extracts from his spcech,s,
made when it was considered desirable to
exhaust every effort at compromise, IN order
to aid their sinking fortunes

it should, in the election Of the Republican
candidates, and which they intended to serve
their purpose to overthrow the Government
and dissolve the Union.

party and followed the fortunes Of the Sece-

patriotism in TINS calling upon the people to
assist him to defeat their Vaccinations.
| Successful in a great measure III dccciving the
Democrats Of the Southern States into sup.
port Of the Secession Candidates, they again
hope to succeed in another deception by in
poking to their aid the great name of the
departed Stalcman whom in hfe they did
nothing but rcyilc and uaducc.
These remarks have been occasioncd by the
publication in Secession presses of letter of
Mr., \aliandlgham of Ohio, who throughout
these truths has been noted for his Secession
procllviics, in which that desperate political
advcntnrcr attempts to attach to the cause Of
anti coercion the influence of the name OF
Douglas by quoting from speech made,
whilst yet ii was hoped by many good men,
that Compromise Of our national to iblts
might have been effected.
1t is almost useless to say here what ought
to he known to every reader, that the wanton
attack upon Fort Sumter and the boast Of
having humlliaad the national flag, and the
threat to plant their reptile banner upon the
NATIONAL Capitol JiSpclled any lingering
hope OF peaceful settlement and removed
the last doubt Of the diabolical aims of the
SecesSionlSts, and then Judge Douglas in
common with the patriotic masses every
where, awoke to a full appreciation Of the
eNlgenccs Of the hour. and demanded of the
Government the assertion of its power 10
defend its dignity and integrity and declared
his purpose to sustain il in so doing.

desire to give the people the views Of the
patriotic Douglas let them tell them what he
said after the fal OF Sumpter let them read
and publish his speeches made subsequent to
that event, and they will then inform the
people that Judge Douglas called upon them
as patriots without reference to party to sus-
tain their Government against its aSsailants.
Nothing but their characteristic dishonesty

support Of their miserable cause would permit
them to attempt this cheat upon the people
by calling 10 their aid the name Of man who
III life met and received volumes of their abuse
because he stood as a V glamt sentinel On the
ramparts Of his country to guard it from the
assaults Of these destroycrs.
If any one wishes to know who this Mr..
Nallandigham Of Ohio is. they can easily
determine his quality by the fact that he was
known during the past winter to have beef,
coopcd up with such men as John V. l..
McMahan and Senator McCaig, and others of
that stripe, and had become so deeply impli,
Gated in the schemes Of SrccsSionits as to be
unable to retrace and knowing his constitu,

the desperation peculiar to such men every.
where.
Every true friend of the lamcrtcd Douglas
Will spurn this attempt Of his old revilers tc
associate his name with their rotten and
wicked scheme to destroy Their Government
He died as he lived true to his Country and
will DC honoied as true patriot.
