Patriotic Sentim eats Of Dir. Douglas

We are very much ri Diced TO find Mr.. Doug.

feelings in this hour of national trial. If Mr.
Douglas is henceforth true and faithful to the
position he has assumed, he vii! greatly retrieve

the American people.
A dispatch from Washington says:
"Judge Douglas received the following dis
patch to day from Richmond;

To which Douglas and C,l,i,u,en replied:
EYES, there is hope. Stand fr,n aid all viii
yet be right"
Mr.. Douglas said to-day. the Inaugural shows
that Mr.. Lincoln has nerve TO say what is i.tt
platform or no platform defend the Inaugu. ),
believing it an emanation iron tie brain OF 4:
patriot"
Another dispatch says:
"The debate in the Senate between ClpemaI
and Douglas was quite lengthy to day.
"in the course of his remarks Mr.. Douglas
said he did not desire it to be inferred that he
sympahised with the Administration, or in an,
contingency he and the President would be asso
cia,ed, for he expected to oppose his Adminstra
ton on those principles which separated parte:
in former times. But on questions of the pres
ervation of the Union by peaceful means, ant
the settlement of the slavery question by amend
ments to the Constitution, if he understood the
Presidents true meaning, he was with him."

are looking for the Old Dominion to plunge into
the Secession gulf:

THE WIsEsT COURSE When the news of the
occupation of Fort Moultrie, by the Carolinans
reached here on Monday, there was talk by some
of burning President Buchanan in efigy, because
he refused the reinforcements called for by Maj.
Anderson Better judgment prevailed, and the
burning was not done. In these troublous times
on the other side of the continent, we do not ap-
prove of any such hasty action. concilatory

However justly the Chief Executive may have
merited the threatened indgniy, it is better that
1t was not carried out. 1t would only tend to
kindle bitter partizan feeling amoug our cti-
zens, which as long as is possible and consistent,
we are in favor of avoiding.

SoUTH CARoIINA.--South Carolina has finally
put her threats of secession into effect. No ar
gument or appeal to patriotism could prevail
upon her to forego the mad resolve. Not content
with merely seeding from the Confederacy, she
has committed an act Of overt treason to the
Union. Her citizens have taken possession of
two of the Federal Forts, and the Custom House;
where but few weeks ago the Stars and Stripes
waved, now floats the Palmetto flag, in bold def
ance OF all the powers of our Governmental
living libel upon the sacred pledges and honor of
her patriot fathers. 1t is too late, now, 10 argue
the cause that has led to the action of South
Carolina. What can be done to restrain her In
her wild career, and prevent other of her sister
slave States from following in the same course ?
Who so wise as to answer? One thing is evident:
1t is too late to employ force. Once blood split,
and who can tell the end? The demons of civil
and servile war let loose, and this Heaven favor
ed land of liberty will be world hell, on whose
pillows, all red with fratricdal blood, will ride
anarchy and despotism. Who now wants to be
the President of this Republic, and be response
lie TO all future ages and history for its presery
alton
In the formation of our Confederacy it was
never dreamed that State would desire to Sc
cedc, and hence no provision made for peace
able secession. This the President announced in
his last message. Yet he rather encouraged the
idea of peaceable secession, and consequently q
winking at the Constitution So long as he was
the chief executor of that instrument, his oath of
Office should have compelled strict obedience
in all matters over which he had control, both in
spirit and in letter Had be taken firm stand
ere treason to the Union assumed a practical
form and head-taken the precautionary meas
ures necessary to bold in awe and respect the
dsaffectcd South Carolinaans-the present bold
act of rebellion might have been stayed. Cannot
something be done TO stop bloodshed, and restore
the Union to peace and harmony? We hope,
now, that the hot heads and fanatics in Congress
will be satisfied with what has transpired, and
turn their attention to some practical compro-
mise, and endeavor to restore peace and harmony
of feeling in all sections,
