Stephen A. Douglas.

Stephen A. as,-the man who for the
last dozen years has occupied larger space in
the public mind, probably, than any statesman
now living-Stephen A. Douglas is no more
1t is with difficulty that we can realize his
DEATH AS of yesterday he stood up before the
Nation, as tower of strength, in all the power
of his vigorous manhood and in all the splen-
dor of his magnificent intellect-the observed of
all observers, the great light Of his party, and,
in despite al party bases, really the pride of
our whole people. To-day he lies low in the
dust, to be thought Of only as among the great
things that were, but are to be no more on
earth forever.
Since the commencement of the present Ma
tional difficulties, Senator Douglas has endear-
cd himself to the whole people of the North by
his noble stand for the Constitution and the
Union, and all the more SO, as that stand in
vo]vcd the rare magnanimity of lending
hearty and efficient support to the Adminisra-
ton of IL rival and successful candidate for the
Presidency, and even an uncompromising polit
ical opponent. And there is not, probably,
now man in the entire North but looks on
his loss, at this crisis, as q National calamity
Stephen A. Douglas was born in Brandon,
VT, in the year 1913, but, with no other ad-
vantages than what good common school edu
cation afforded, went West, taught school,
studied law, and soon became so successful an
advocate as to attract general attention in the
land of his adoption, and lead to an invitation
for him to enter the political arena And here,
poor, unfriended, with no family influence and
no name to give him prestige, he fought his
way up through hosts of influential and talent
ed opponents, as no young man, perhaps, ever
fought before, till he had successfully filled the
Offices of Assembly-man, Register of Land
Office, States Attorney General, Secretary of
State, Judge Of the Supreme Court, Member of
Congress-, and finally United States Senator,
which last crowning position he reached at the
very unusually early age of thirty-fve. He
has been three times u candidate for the Presi-
dency and, but for Southern intrigues and
meanness four years ago, would have doubtless
been nominated and elected to honor the high
place that Buchanan disgraced.
Asa statesman, Mr. Douglas was clear headed
sagacious, and Of an enlarged scope of political
vision. Springing from the people, and always
of them, he was their true friend and the able
and intrepid champion of all their rights and
interests. As a ready, prompt, pungent and
powerful debater, he had, perhaps, at the time
of his death, no equal in the United States
His views, feelings, and everything about him
were peculiarly American, and he ever stood
ready to do battle for every American right and
interest.
With these qualities Of head and heart, hi
raised up for himself a host of such friends al
no man since the days of Andrew Jackson evel
had before and well may they all mourn now
and well may the whole nation join them in de
ploring his early exit
